The MMA Thread. BJ Penn Didn't Die #HeDeadThough

Where did I say it was proven he’s improved his wrestling. I said a fight with Diego would be good to show how much he’s improved. I didn’t say he did and it was a fact, it would be a good test, but at the same time I see Diaz winning that fight, I didn’t say with his grappling, I said the fight would be a different fight. Back then Sanchez was nothing but a wrestler now he likes to brawl and wrestle when he’s in trouble. At the same time he’s stubborn enough to get his ass beat standing thinking he’s winning. He’ll still wrestle in the fight just it won’t be as pure of a grappling match as their first fight.

I beg to differ, I like Diego but his striking is ass and won’t help him in the stand up against Nick and Nate will always be the less talented lil bro. Oh btw I don’t like the Diaz bros I just think Nick would own Diego this time around

What do y’all think of the WW picture right now? GSP vs Condit next in line should be winner of Penn/Diaz then what? Think they’ll hype Ellenberger up as the next big thing?

“It’s hard to say what the perfect style is to stop Jones. I have a lot of trust in my skills against any fighter. I won’t change what people have seen, and I’d rather show them in the Octagon instead of talking about it beforehand. Jones wasn’t my problem until the UFC booked the fight. I’ll spend a lot of time studying him and find the best way to stop him. I know he’s versatile, but I have my own talents and know what it takes to win. The fight will be decided in the Octagon. Let him be the favorite. He’ll enter with the label of being a prodigy, but I’ll be stronger because of that. I can get Jones to the fifth round. I believe in myself, in what I’m doing and in my teammates.”-Lyoto Machida

“I’m a complete man now that I’m 33. I’m not a 22- or 23-year-old kid anymore,” he said. “What changed most for me was my maturity and the experience I gained. It’s something subtle that people don’t see easily, but you feel the change. You acquire things you couldn’t even imagine.” -Lyoto Machida

I still think Machida gets smashed by Jones and he doesn’t sound confident at all. There’s a difference between being humble and not confident and NONe of that “interview” sounded confident.

Jones will use his reach to score points and set up a take down then wear Mach down then finish him. I love ya Dragon but your going down man…

You forget one thing…Jones front kicked Rampage and it didn’t do shit to Rampage. Machida crane kicked Couture and retired that man’s soul. yeah this is a troll post.

I know I usually make jokes and keep this thread and its posters on their toes but I was doing my daily round of my fav site waiting for some reveals and saw this bullshit.

Fuck Jo Son. Fuck him so much.

Yea that made rounds like two months ago the retard.

Sorry if it’s old I just saw it and it pissed me off because I would have liked to forget about him entirely. Sorry if I ruined the forgetting for anyone else.

jesus every other post is by a troll.

If Kenny Florian’s name was Randy Couture he wins that fight 3-2, I had it 3-2 based upon other wall n stall performances. There is zero consistency in judging.

I thought Kenny did pretty well actually but not enough for me to feel good about calling him champion. I kept laughing at the trolls who said Aldo is gonna destroy Flo.

If Kenny was born more athletic he would have been champion at least once by beating Sherk. He works hard and is a warrior but does not have the physical gifts to push him over the top.

Looks like Melendez has to defend his belt against Masvidal before jumping ship. Not that I care about this fight anyways.

The fact that K-1 can still think about throwing the Grand Prix knowing they owe a shit ton of money is crazy to me.

Sounds like a mirror match to me. I would bet a chicken sandwich this turns into a bootleg boxing match. :lol:

Shane Mosely’s trainer is training Hari now and he says not only is Hari going to be the one to dethrone the Klitchkos but to make them retire as well. THEM BE FIGHTIN’ WORDS.

Shane Mosley’s trainer is also famous for his advice in between rounds:

“Swim without getting wet!”

someone talking shit about the klitschkos? wow what a surprise. and every time the trash talkers look like idiots in the ring.

Not gonna lie, he looks like the type of dude that would stab you over getting his order wrong at Mcdonalds.

Wow I didnt know that. No wonder why Amir Khan hired him…one crazy motherfucker >>>> 8 juiced up guys that workout biceps and chest only.

And if King Mo and Rampage go at it, I can say the shit talking is going to be on another level. Maybe Chael Sonnen level.

Here’s what we can reasonably expect from Rampage

“Yo stop talkin’, your breath stinks! Git outta ma face”

Chael is a whole new level

Why is that shocking to you? I mean, this IS still Japan we’re talking about, right? There’s no problem here at all, just politely sweep it all under the rug so nobody raises any concerns about anything and bow to people and go about your business. If anyone complains, just pretend it never happened! Japanese business in a nutshell.
