Kyyle23 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I watched last night, you would of thought that Roy Nelson blew up Kimbo with one shot with the way he acted after the fight. Dana was not impressed, though he seemed to be a little excited over Kimbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana was not impressed, though he seemed to be a little excited over Kimbo It's funny how quickly Dana has become a Kimbo fan. I know Kimbo brings ratings, and I also was impressed with his attitude and how he looked standing, but it's hard to be that thrilled about a guy who gives up the mount easier than a two-dollar whore and who allows himself to be crucifixed in two straight rounds.

I think Rashad is a little about upset about what Thiago did to his boy Jardine. If Thiago can beat Rashad that will be a huge feather in his cap. I still want to see Thiago Silva against Luiz Cane though. Those guys hate each other and have been wanting to fight for a long time, so matter what happens with Thiago-Rashad, I want to see that fight.

I think he could be. Nelson really needs to work on his wrestling though. Think about this: 1. Roy gets the takedown 2. Roy rubs his sweaty belly all over his opponent, then jiggles it until his nipples end up in his opponent's mouth 3. As Roy's opponent wildly flails his limbs looking for some kind of help, Roy grabs an arm and gets the sub 4. Roy celebrates by doing the Kamala belly smack thing, then during the post-fight interview he talks about all his sponsors (Hormel chili, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, BallPark Franks, etc.) and how hungry they make him Seriously, people would love that.

It wouldnt be so funny if it didnt really happen like that, but you nailed the entire Kimbo fight with this scenario. The only difference is that he doesnt have sponsors, but he still talked about how hungry he was and that he wanted food after the fight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved that part - not the fight, but him looking down at his boss and demanding a cheeseburger. Roy kind of comes off like a dick though. He needs to not act like a dick and instead become a lovable fat guy who just wants to rub bellies with people. Oh, another idea: when they show promo videos of Nelson mistboxing, they should have him like hold a burger in each hand, and as his hands come back to his body he can take a bite. So he'd be like mistboxing with burgers. That would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan562004 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Urijah Faber reinked with the WEC. It will be interesting if we hear any backstory with him resigning this quickly. He has been very vocal about his pay and lack of exposure of the WEC, with Vs. off Direct TV they must have told him they're expanding or going to stick a fight or two on a UFC card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Oct 1, 2009 -> 12:38 PM) His ground game still sucks. It's obvious whoever trained him before didn't even bother with it. In practice, you can see he's learning, but he's still got a ways to go. At his age, not sure if he'll get a whole lot better. it was Bas Rutten, and while he was training with him Bas said positive stuff, but after Bas basically said he didn't work very hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHizzle85 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 It's now Griffin/Ortiz II at 106. That just made the card a lot more interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Hates Prospects Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 That's a big money fight for those guys, and it makes sense too. Rematch of a (somewhat) controversial fight, each guy coming back after losses to top-4 P4P fighters, great fight. I wonder what Tito's going to be like with his back all healed now. Forrest is a much better fighter now and IMO the current Forrest would beat the Tito he fought the first time pretty easily, but a healthy Tito vs. the current Forrest is very interesting match-up. I think I'll take Forrest via decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenryan Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I hope Forrest smashes Tito's skull. I'm not a big Forrest fan but I cant stand Ortiz. Glad there are some live shows coming up in the next few weeks. I need something to get my attention off another craptastic season of TUF.

SoxFan562004 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) WEC was good last night, especially the main event.

Kenny Hates Prospects Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Definite FOTY candidate, which is no surprise because the WEC always provides at least one FOTY candidate per show. Hands down, it's the best promotion in the world. I'm really excited for 2010 because they're going to run like 10+ shows I believe. I'm happy Henderson won. I picked him to beat Cerrone, but I didn't think it was going to be that close. Cerrone showed more in that fight than he did vs. Varner IMO. I wasn't a big Cowboy fan going into last night but I am now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) the Bader/Schafer and Hardonk/Barry fight on the 104 undercard will be shown on Spike... I like this trend and hope it's a regular thing for the UFC. Obviously Zuffa is still scared to death to put Okami on a live show, he's still on the unaired undercard Edited October 12, 2009 by SoxFan562004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Hates Prospects Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hendo is talking with Strikeforce about a contract because his side and the UFC are pretty far apart still. I hope Hendo doesn't go to Strikeforce. There's not much for him there. Also, Condit vs. Daley has been made which should be an awesome fight. I doubt Condit is going to mess around with Daley on the feet now that he's training with Greg Jackson. The AZ Combat Sports Condit might have tried that, but Jackson should have him being smarter.

MHizzle85 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 So Anderson Silva doesn't want to fight Vitor Belfort because he hasn't earned it? This coming from the same guy who got a title shot after his 1st UFC fight? I don't think I've ever seen a fighter so hands on with who he will or won't fight.
