Mixed Martial Arts

i agree but unfortunatly its a business and that super fight is what makes them the most money. that is whats wrong with mma today, the guys who are up there as the best fighters dont get their chance at the gold if they are not fan favourites, perfect example is lyoto machida

Lyoto will just go the Jon Fitch route and win until he gets his shot. I know some people don't care for him, but the truth is he makes fighters look silly. Straight punch/trip combo? Nobody does that. I've never seen a fighter block a punch while throwing a punch like he does either.
 
I like to watch it when I get a chance. I have never been able to see it live and I can not afford cable, so I only catch it when my buddy has me over.
 
ground fighting is what ufc is all about. without it, it would just be boxing.

Fedor, Silva and GSP make ground fights worth watching but a lot of'em are BORING as fuck, especially if they're the type that looks for submissions and no G&P.
A win is a win but I like to watch wins with total domination and no decision.

i know this post is WAY behind...and THANK the maker of the DVR!!!
i finally watched the ELiteXC CBS show (lawler v. smith II)
with a DVR i can fast foward right up until the opening punch and not have to listen to their AB-SOLE-LUTE-LY TER-RIB-LE announcers :mad: !!~
the play by play guy is brutal. when someone lands a clean shot this guy immediately starts yelling "OH he's in trouble he's in trouble" dude...some, if not most of these guys can actually take a punch.
the lawler v. smith match just started..barely 8-12 seconds into the fight smith lands a nice solid leg kick. the 1st one thrown!. the announcer again "OH DEVASTATING leg kick,that hurt lawler bad it could be trouble early in this fight" meanwhile lawler never limped or showed that the kick hurt him or was as devastating as the announcer put it.
and the "color" guy with the glasses who looks like Rainn wilson http://www.imdb.com/media/rm589076224/nm0933988
makes some of the stupidiest analogies.
he said lawler-smith was like batman v. the joker the match-up everybody was wanted to see this summer.... :eek: .......:confused:
good thing i don't actually have to sit throught an entire show and listen to this shit
 
Anderson Silva is the best pound-4-pound fighter, period.




By the way, drink Bud Light. They support UFC!
 
I would like to see Kimbo Slice in the UFC eventually.I think that he would have to train his ass off to build his stamina,because it seems like he gets gassed fairly early.Also,he needs to find a new trainer,because as good as Bas Rutten was,Kimbo's ground game is still lacking quite a bit.He's a pure striker with little to no g&p,kinda like Chieck Congo.If both of these fighter found a good ground game,they would be unstoppable.

I would love to see Randy get a hold of both of these guys.Could you imagine that?!

Anyway,from what limited fights that I've seen,I would have to say that pound for pound,the best fighter is GSP,for the fact that when he loses to someone,he beats the living shit out of them the second time.Both Matt Sera and Matt Hughes looked like little bitches their second fights with GSP.He completely dominated them and completely nullified whatever made them successful in their first fights.I feel like the true sign of a champion is how well you do against adversity and how well you come back after a loss,and GSP is the best in rematches.

As far as Lesnar goes,I would love to see someone beat the living piss out of him.He's an arrogant punk and has no respect for his competitors.I know that there is a lot of shit talking before matches,but that's part of the hype that Dana probably tells all the fighters to to do.Brock is just a flat out asshole and I hope that he gets fucked up soon.I don't know who's the big dogs in his weight class but hopefully someone will step up.
 
Anderson Silva
Fedor
BJ Penn
Georges St. Pierre

i think it's quite the opposite. dana talks alot about him really respecting the business and the world of MMA. he just wants to fight the best guys in the world because if he's not fighting them there is no sense in fighting at all.
 
just watched Chuck Liddell get KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT!!!
sugar rashaad evens hit him with the hardest unch i have ever seen thrown.
i think he just ended the ICEMANs career.
 
Poor ol' Chuck. That hurt to watch it. Not because I like Chuck all that much, or because it was a good punch, I just cannot stand Rashad Evans.
 
Rashad Evans!!!! Damn, i did not see that coming. Sucks too, because i wanted Liddell to win.

That was a great KO!

why don't you like evans?

i like chuck,i like alot of the guys so when it's a matchup of 2 guys i like i don't really care who wins.last night though i was pulling for Evans the guy is undefeated and he's still not talked about as getting a title shot or even getting into the title picture. that punch last night pretty much changed all that!

Haven't cared for Evans since the shit he pulled on my buddy Tom Murphy during The Ultimate Fighter. Don't care for his attitude. Even when he's trying not to be an arrogant prick, he comes across as an arrogant prick. Big deal, he laid out Sean Salmon and an over the hill Chuck. I watch the rest of his fights if I'm having a hard time falling asleep. Also Rashad getting a title shot ahead of Lyoto is total bullshit.

i agree with you 100 percent there kebert. lyoto deserves a shot before rashad, the problem is popular fighters make more ppv sales. i bet dana and the ufc didnt bank on rashad beating chuck

The only time Rashad has headlined a UFC, it was the lowest buyrate of 2007. Knocking out Liddell helps, but Rashad is not one of the guys from TUF who puts the asses in the seats. Is Rashad really all that more popular than Lyoto? Thing is, a lot of people hate Machida, and a lot of people like him. When that happens, people end up talking about you. Lyoto will be one of Nog's coaches on this season of TUF. With Evans, seems like not too many people care one way or the other.
