You're a joke.....may I remind you who he just fought.halfnhalf wrote:Hung Man Cho is a joke... the guy hasnt fought anyone good.
buz you watch MMA now? I mean, your boy, is on fire. No one can stop him.
When Fedor fought Crocop, Crocop was seen as unbeatable at the time. This was arguably the most anticpated bout in the history of MMA. To belittle Fedor for only taking a decision in this fight is beyond asinine.halfnhalf wrote:Starnum wrote:Who, Fedor? Yeah, that guy is a tyrant.
who has been ducking fights. who was the last legit fighter he fought? Mark Hunt, and Hunt came damn close. Fedor is ducking fights, i mean seriously, a BJJ guy raped cro cop and all fedor could do was win a decision.
My bro is into UFC stuff (or just got into it), and he showed me these, not just few clips clips, but the fights. I was first hesitant because despite the fact of me acknowledging that they are seriously the most effectively best fighters I have seen, they are mostly effective and not so much entertaining, dont like ground and pound. But was awed by some of the games he showed me in this gala. Those gifs does no justice to them. Pretty insane seeing someone getting pummeled so much but in seconds outwitting and almost breaking the leg of Lesnar by a quick hold that came out of nowhere. And that Boetsch guy with the throw, impressive to say the least, but not the throw alone, but you have to see how he was aggressively kneeing the shit out of him for a solid minute while staying away from eachother and just blocking all game long (really saving up for insane frenzy of attakcs). Before he threw him, he wasnt just not gun-ho pummeling him, but guarding himself safely and calculating attacking. Apparently it was his debute.halfnhalf wrote:
hammer fists mayhem, he had him on this. Plus Brock moves fast on the ground.
The gif shows how he got caught, but in the actual fight video, this things comes out of nowhere. But yah Mir is back, took a beating and dealed a beating. What was actually great was that Mir tried for two arm bar attempts, but couldnt do it because, "his arms were way to big."
But the most entertaining fight of the night was the throw.
Randy Coutore has gotten viciously KO'd in 2 of his last 5 fights. With wins over a partially crippled Tim Sylvia, Gabriel Gonzaga who just got pummeled by Fabricio Werdum, and Mike Van Arsdale (who????). Meanwhile Fedor has fought more fighters over that period of time, against better competition. And like I said before, Randy during this time turned down a $3-million payday to fight Fedor. Meanwhile Randy has lost over a 3rd of his fight during his career, while Fedor is undefeated with just as many fights....Yet Fedor's the joke?halfnhalf wrote:I'm talking about the beast Randy Couture, who in his last few bouts, has been just total destruction. I know Fedor is good, he is currently the only one that is undefeated, but honestly, that was 3 years ago. He hasnt fought anyone seriously for awhile now. Until then, that is what i think about him.
HMC has a chin of granite, but that KO by Mighty Mo was pretty sick. Though I've seen him take shot after shot by the likes of Schilt and LeBanner w/out so much as a flinch. HMC's head is literally the size of an adult midget.halfnhalf wrote:Woa, two of those knock outs were because Coture went down in weight. I am going to agree that Fedor is amazing, but recently it just seems that he isnt taking any huge fights. Okay maybe Hong Man Choi was a huge fight, but that guy isnt unstoppable, we have seen him been knocked out before.
All I am saying is that he had two fights in 2007, Matt LINDLAND?!?! that was a joke.
) in MMA at the moment. He is also a really good and humble person, and someone very likeable outside the ring. He is one one of the few people to talk well of his opponents no matter how easily he was able to dispose of them. But he will definitely be put to the test in his upcoming fight, in what should be biggest fight in MMA in years. AA in the prelims is a travesty!halfnhalf wrote:yah it will be.

huge fight card, even so that AA is in the prelims.
Then we might as well rename the thread "American kids pretend to practice bastardized versions of the marital arts they claim to love" . Somehow that doesn't seem to have as good a ring.lon3vvolf wrote:This thread should be renamed MMA fanboys instead of martial arts.
I'd get into how MMA is not a martial art, rather a sport but I don't have the time. You want to talk about 'martial arts?' What about katas(forms)? What about the whole philosophical side to it? What about the non-violent self defence only teachings? What about proper stances, weapons, falls? Theres a whole side of 'martial arts' which has nothing to do with 'ground and pound', or knocking someone out. If you disagree you miss the point of what a martial art is supposed to be. And don't get me started on XMA...
Seriously dude. I don’t care whether you were just making a point or not. You basically just insulted everyone else in the thread. You make it sound like everyone in the thread but you is a violent meathead “fanboy”. Like we didn’t already know all that shit you said. What, you don’t think that there are MMA fighters that have those same types of principles? Think again. Besides, there’s lots of MMA fighters out there who have mastered single styles as well. There’s nothing wrong with mixing your game up. No one here ever said that all there was to martial arts was hurting people. I've never once cut a person with a sword, and I hope I never have to. That's not why I took it up, I just love the way of the sword, even if it's not the same as it used to be. Heh, I use entertainment & music to vent any violent urges. Also, I’ve always said that mastering a single style is better than just being okay at several. I do believe that violence should be avoided whenever possible, but then again, some guys are just asking for it, heh. Yeah, I’d definitely take a friendly spar over a real fight any day.Tempest wrote:My chill pill, let me show it to you.
