UFC 151 has been scrapped, which is kind of a relief for me.
Dan Henderson is injured, so he isn't able to fight Jon Jones.
That means that my man Lyoto Machida has a shot at avenging his last loss to Jones and becoming Light Heavyweight Champion again.
I will be watching it Live on pay per view.
Can't wait. UFC 152 will be in Toronto.
I don't know what the fuck is going on in the UFC.
Machida has turned down the fight with Jones, which baffles me beyond belief.
Jones is now fighting Vitor Belfort.
I don't know what the fuck is happening. I think they make it up as they go along.
Whatever..... I'm not in the business.
Lyoto Machida said he wanted more time before he faced Jones again, which mystifies me. Machida is ready at all times. I don't fucking get it.
Jones refused to fight Chael Sonnen on 8 days' notice.
Are these guys true Champions? Holy Fuck.
Something is not on.
You got the belt? Then you fight the number one contender. Period. If he is injured then it's the next man in line. Period.
I just do not get the rules and mechanisms of the UFC.
This is some mickey mouse shit.
UFC 168 was held last Saturday night, and Anderson Silva's career was basically ended.
He broke his leg (fibula) after Chris Weidman checked one of gangly Silva's brutal kicks.
I never liked Anderson Silva.
His disrespect for his opponents was colossal, and it wasn't anything he said. It was his showboating antics in the cage.
And he got away with it for eons. Until Chris Weidman arrived.
Weidman dominated Silva TWICE. Sat. night was the re-match after Weidman knocked "THE SPIDER" out in spectacular fashion in July, during a profoundly stupid series of sick mocks of his opponent. Weidman capitalized, and Silva got knocked the fuck out.
I always wondered who would be the man to do it.
Long after their match, Joe Rogan said beforehand he thought Weidman "could be the guy" to beat Silva but Joe is full of shit.
I never saw you predict that, Joe. In fact I've never seen you say anyone "was the guy" to beat Silva. NEVER.
Certainly not prior to fights. You are no Nostradamus, Joe.
It was awesome to see Silva get knocked out. Having his career end was alright in my book too.
You don't respect your opponent, GET THE FUCK OUT.
To clarify (in the interests of not appearing like a hypocrite- I don't respect Stephen Harper at all), it is perfectly alright to show no respect to your opponent if they are an affront to your family, to your training, to your character, to your whole ethos.
Anderson Silva disrespected every single opponent he faced, and it was never warranted.
He is arguably the best fighter the UFC ever saw- he demolished people in super-human fashion. Some of the shit he did in the octagon was straight out of a movie.
That said, it went to his head. He looked down on his opponents. He mocked them.
Fans of Silva say that he would do that knowing that he could knock out his opponent at any time, that he was giving the fans "a show" because the fight could be over in 3 seconds. He showboated to extend the action the octagon.
RIGHT.
What a crock of horseshit.
Let me get this straight: Silva was so dangerous that he extended his time in the ring just to put on a show?
Well I guess Chris Weidman put that fuckery to rest, didn't he?
While Silva mocked and danced and disrespected, Weidman capitalized on his fuckery. Didn't flinch. He attacked that fuckery and KO'd the Spider.
If Silva returns, and it's a big if, because Silva was saying it might've been it for him after the last match with Wiedman, then he won't be able to fuck around in the octagon anymore. That silly and stupid chickenshit behavior he displayed will not wash anymore.
Why?
Because he got his bell rung hard. Because he got Dominated.
But I don't think the Spider will ever return again to the UFC. If a KO made him think about hanging up the gloves, then breaking his leg will etch that shit in stone.
UFC 168 will be a DVD I'll buy and savour over and over and over again.
I never liked Silva, and these 2 bouts with the USA phenom Chris Weidman are KARMIC.
Weidman made UFC history, and no one will ever forget it.
Especially Anderson Silva.
I've been reading the "comments" on all kinds of MMA websites about Anderson Silva's broken leg and the fight itself between him & Weidman.
Thousands of people are calling the fight a fluke, just like the first bout was a "fluke" win for Weidman.
Let me shut those Jokers up.
The only "fluke" was the injury itself- the way Silva's leg snapped like a twig- THAT was a fluke.
The check was not.
Watch the fucking replay. The check was technique, a technique that Weidman says he TRAINED for to fight Silva again.
He even gave a name to that technique: "THE DESTRUCTION"- it's when you aim your knee at the kick coming at you to hit bone on bone- it makes fighters stop kicking you. Weidman only had to lift his knee a couple inches because that kick was low.
That move was technical, and it worked. TOO WELL.
The "fluke" was Silva's ankle breaking like an eggshell and bending like rubber. THAT was the fluke. No one has ever seen that. Not in MMA.
All these excuse makers for Silva will not give Chris Weidman his due.
The guy is undefeated. Yes he's new, Yes he still has to prove his staying power, but Sweet Jesus, he DOMINATED the Best UFC fighter ever.
Quit crying in your cornflakes, Silva fans, and face Reality.
It was time for the Brazillian to pack it in.
A third match might see Silva KILLED in the octagon.
And we don't want to see that nastiness, do we?
UFC 169 on February 1st will be great to see.
Frank Mir's career is on the line when he faces Alistair Overeem, a fighter who ended the UFC career of one of my fave fighters: Brock Lesnar.
Overeem suffered a knockout in his last fight against Travis Browne, who is an absolute BEAST. Browne just annihilated Josh Barnett (another Beast who destroyed Frank Mir previously) with a series of vicious elbows in UFC 168.
The fighters today are animals. And I think Frank Mir is WAY out of his depth. He's been slapped around and defeated soundly and roundly in his last 3 fights, and a loss to Overeem will send him into retirement. (Hopefully!- Mir is like a fly..he keeps buzzing around and being annoying).
I will be watching UFC 169 Live. Can't miss it. I can't miss the opportunity to see Frank Mir get destroyed again. Hopefully he will take the hint and retire if he's beaten again. I think he has to win against Overeem or Dana White will say Mir is no longer able to fight in the UFC anymore.
You need to win to have a career in the UFC.
3 strikes and you're Out seems to be a good UFC rule.
Frank Mir got beat *pathetically* by Alistair Overeem at UFC 169.
The fight was a total bore.
Mir has lost 4 fights in a row.
And he's still in the UFC. WTF is going on???
I guess their talent pool is thinner than I thought.
Mir should be shitcanned from the UFC.
Don't even give him a microphone. I hate listening to him talk.
I highly recommend buying UFC 100 on DVD. I have several UFC events on DVD and UFC 100 is my favorite.
I realize many MMA fans would not consider UFC 100 to be all that great or historic. The reason it's my favorite is simply because Frank Mir (and Michael Bisping) ran their mouths a lot when they really shouldn't have and got their bell rung. Mir Especially.
He talked so much trash, so much smack, it was unreal. The first match Mir had with Brock Lesnar is reviewed in detail in the bonus features, including commentary from both fighters as they watch a replay of the fight.
Mir claims he "Already has a win on him (Lesnar), how's it going to look if you get beat a second time? Where does that put you?"
Brock: Did he really come up with this stuff? ha ha. Look at his face in that fight. It looks like hamburger hill. I gave him that kneebar. And he knows that.The christmas present was handed out. I'm a Champion wrestler. He's a pretty boy Karate Kid. I have zero respect for him.
I really like Brock's quote when he gets back to the dressing room after winning the fight with a Knockout, with tons of punches to Mir's soft head:
8 MONTHS OF LISTENING TO THAT DUMPSTER TALK TRASH! *unwraps tape from hands* "You're looking at the right Champion".
Brock owned Mir during this fight. In the first round Mir ate huge fist after huge fist. Brock had him in what Joe Rogan called "a neck crank", on the mat, and kept wrenching his head back and forth, delivering huge shots to the face. Mir's head was trapped in Brock's strong grip. Nowhere to go. The bell saved Mir, but his face looked very swollen indeed. The second round began with Mir smiling, but that smile would be wiped clean off his arrogant face in a very short time. This was a revenge match, because Frank is clearly not a better athlete than Brock Lesnar. No way Jose. Granted, Brock may love beating people up more than actually "fighting", Mir totally deserved to be beat up like he was. I love some good smack talk, some great trash talk, who doesn't? But Mir was really stretching the truth in his interviews/promos. He was saying shit he could never back up, like "I was never a big fan of the weight training thing, I'm sure he lifts more weights than me- if it was an arm wrestling match I'd be in trouble, you know?" When immediately after getting demolished here in UFC 100 he starts to hit the gym and hit the weights. He packed on so much muscle and poundage after that fight with Brock it was ridiculous. He obviously felt that Brock being much physically stronger than him was something he had to compensate for. Nowadays he just lumbers around the octagon, a punching bag to whomever fighter he faces. It's sad.
I read on one of the MMA blogs that Mir might be the first UFC fighter to sue the organization for brain damage, that's how desperate Frank is.
I could see that. Frank is greedy enough. He said before he mainly fights for the money. It must've hurt to only get 10% of the money Brock got for UFC 100, eh Frank? Brock brought home the bacon. If you want to earn money as a UFC fighter, then you have to win fights. You have to be a Champion. I'm so tired of the talk about "The Old Frank Mir", and how he's just waiting to come back and dominate the Heavyweight division again. Bullshit. It'll never happen. I'm telling you, Frank should hang up his gloves and take a job as a color commentator. I wouldn't be saying this if he demolished Alistair Overeem. But he didn't. He got beat bad. I hear now he's on a "break" from the UFC. We'll see who Dana White has him fight next. He's gotta start winning or just pack it in. And I say pack it in. Don't even bother putting on the gloves Frank. You don't want severe brain damage. Cain Velasquez would send you to the hospital. He's a Beast.
UFC 100 has great preliminary fights too. Jon "Bones" Jones, Alan Belcher, Stephan Bonnar, etc.
Georges St-Pierre schools Thiago Alves in the octagon. Georges was all over him like white on rice.
Thiago wanted it bad, but he was just outclassed.
And Dan Henderson shut up Michael Bisping with a brutal right hand knockout punch. Bisping looked dead- he was out for like, a minute cold.
Dan Henderson is a fighter you have to tip your hat to. The guy has beaten some of the biggest names in MMA: Fedor, Rampage, etc.
Henderson & Bisping had just competed as coaches on the Ultimate Fighter (USA Vs. U.K.), and this fight was the co-Main Event of the evening.
Brutal knockout by Hendo. And the pounce punch right after...wowza. No wonder Bisping was out cold.
As I say, my main enjoyment of this DVD set is not just the fights. It's the Main Event. It was total ownership by Brock Lesnar of Frank Mir.
I never get tired of watching it. It is so sweet, with Brock getting in Frank's bloodied face right after: "TALK ALL THE SHIT YOU WANT NOW!"
Which garnered him some boos from the crowd. The fact is, Frank Mir isn't all that talented as a fighter. If he was, he would've beat Brock easily the second time around, and you wouldn't have me here enjoying it and savouring it. LOL
Pack it in Frank. You Suck. Make money as a Commentator. You love to hear yourself talk, so do the right thing and pack it in.
I have UFC 129 on DVD, and I recommend it to buy.
It documents the biggest UFC event in it's history, held at the Skydome in Toronto in April 2011.
The main event was Georges St-Pierre vs. Jake Shields, and that fight was interesting. In my opinion nothing happened until the final round.
Joe Rogan says Shields was "bewildered" in the octagon in the early rounds, but I don't think that was quite it. I think Shields was just reacting to Georges style in a way that helped him in later rounds. If this sport had no time limits or round limits then Jake would have eventually knocked Georges out. You can say that's bull, but watch the final round. Georges' left eye was almost shut- he couldn't see out of it and it was bothering him huge. Another round and Georges would have been in serious trouble. Jake did not do enough (in the time allowed) to finish Georges, and after the fight Georges had to admit that Jakes' stand-up and striking were way better than he had imagined. Jake held his own against St-Pierre, he went the distance with him and could've finished him if had a round or two more. Jake wasn't so much "bewildered" in the early rounds so much as he was adjusting to the style and type of fighter that Georges is. It wasn't a particularly exciting fight, no amazing displays, but it was very interesting to me. It never went to the ground, which is where Georges dominates anyone and everyone. Georges is a supremely well-rounded guy, truly fearsome as an opponent, but Jake Shields revealed that you can beat Georges if you stick to a strong plan of attack (and have the luck of Georges deciding to stand up and trade blows with you). Some may say that Jake was just trying to survive, but that's bullshit. Look closer if you think he was just trying to survive. Jake inflicted some damage to Georges face. He was in a fight.
That said, 3 years later and Jake Shields is nowhere to be found. His contract was dropped by the UFC. Dana White said he was "just another guy in the welterweight division. His stand up never improved. We look at everything when considering a fighter, including money, and Jake Shields was just another guy in the division. What is he truly going to do with the animals in this division?"
So Jake Shields is just a guy who almost beat Georges St-Pierre. That's his legacy. Yawn. What happened Jake? No desire anymore to be a Champion?
UFC 129 also has one of my favorite MMA matches ever on the card: Lyoto Machida vs. Randy Couture.
What Machida did here was the best thing on the whole program: send Randy Couture into permanent retirement. With a karate Kid kick to the kisser, knocking out Randy and his purdy white teeth.
I have never liked Randy Couture or his style of fighting. He seemed to always just want to wear you down with bear hugs and wrestling, usually pinning you against the cage. He had a lot of sucess with that "style" but I never respected that style one inch. Same with Brazilian Ju-Jitsu- I do not like that style of fighting for a win. It seems very cowardly to lean on submissions for victory. I can't really respect a fighter who uses everything in his arsenal to beat a guy but then resorts to desperate submissions because he has no other way of beating his opponent (FRANK MIR!) Submissions do not have a higher value than a knockout to me. Submissions are necessary and I would never say "no submissions!" in MMA, I just don't like the fact that it gives lesser fighters (Frank Mir) something to brag about, when the evidence shows they were outclassed and not as good a fighter as their opponent. I've seen it countless times where a quick submission that comes out of nowhere secures a victory for a guy who otherwise would've been destroyed. Brock Lesnar is a better athlete and fighter than Frank Mir yet Mir claimed a victory in their first fight because Mir was dropped, ragdolled and pounded like hamburger until he realized he was in deep shit and went for that kneebar and got it.
Watch the fight. Mir was desperate in that octagon. He was getting pummeled in the fetal position after Brock dropped him with a shot to the face. I still say Mir will eventually sue the UFC for brain damage. He's not making good money anymore for his fights and he will get desperate.
Just as desperate out of the ring as he was in it against Lesnar. I hate his guts. No one more arrogant or stupid in MMA than Frank Mir to me.
A useless human being who thinks his "mark on the world" is way bigger than it really is. You are (and were) nothing but a blowhard punching bag Frank. Pack it in. You're done. I said you were done before, but you don't listen. Practise what you preach Frank! You said Nogeira was "not done", that it was like "cooking a meal". HA HA HA!! So how do you describe the match at UFC 100? You said "no matter what happens, UFC 100 will be my day". LOL It sure was. Your eyes looked like two pissholes in the snow after Brock punched your jew-fro head into the canvas.
"This ain't the WWE!" Frank. But you'd never know, because you wouldn't stick your soul into that furnace. Brock stuck his soul in your game, why don't you stick yours in his? He defeated the Undertaker at Wrestlemania this year! LOL Broke that Illustrious "Streak". Never been doen before in wrestling history! I know it's "fake", but you do fake Frank. You said there is "no deceit" in the octagon. Oh Yes there is....it's you. Deceit is in the octagon when you step into it Frank. Because I happen to know you like to try to pretend you are hurt in there, to fool your opponents into a submission.
You are a Snake, Frank Mir.
I have zero respect for you and neither should anyone else.
I'd like to add that UFC 129 has a great fight between Jose Aldo and Mark Hominick- it may be better than the St-Pierre/Shields bout.
The fight goes the distance, and Hominick was clearly outclassed but showed amazing heart. In the 4th round he was hit with an elbow by Aldo that caused the most disturbing hematoma in MMA history. I thought the fight was over at that point. It looked like Hominick had another head, as Joe Rogan said. It was a nasty hematoma. But the doctor checked Mark out, said he was good to go, Mark said he was good to go, so the fight went on.
It's crazy- you watch it.
Can't wait to see the next UFC event with My Man Lyoto Machida Vs. Chris Weidman- two fighters I really like. I won't even guess who will win.
Both guys have the chops to do the other in.
I recommend Ultimate Knockouts 9 to buy as a DVD. Some really incredible knockouts on that disc.
Cain Velasquez Vs. Brock Lesnar is one; Brock got the living crap beaten out of him, in the same fashion that he beat Frank Mir. It was wild to watch.
Brock is/was one of my favorite fighters, but he got a serious beating by Cain. The folks who hate Brock? Here's your fight. LOL
Joe Stevenson getting knocked out by Mac Danzig was good, and one of the best knockouts was the Marine Corps Captain Brian Stann laying an absolute dominant beat-down on "Rooster DOO" Chris Leben. As Joe rogan said: "WHAT A STATEMENT THAT MAN MADE!!!" Hell yeah. Stann actually asked to fight Leben in his first fight- watch it and be amazed. I got a stack of new UFC DVD's and I'll post more about them soon. I am hooked on the UFC. Best Sport in the World!
UFC 113: Machida Vs. Shogun 2
UFC 113 from May 2010 is a pretty good DVD to buy, with My Man Lyoto Machida taking on Shogun Rua for the second time. Each man was trying to definitively win the second match, as their first ended in controversy. 11 bouts in this set, including Paul Daley vs. Josh Koscheck (a suspension occurs in this match) and Matt Mitrione Vs. (joke fighter) Kimbo Slice.
Recommended DVD.
UFC 135: Jones Vs. Rampage
This event from Sept. 2011 is quite good. Josh Koscheck vs. Matt Hughes is a co-main event and I like how it ended.
Jon Jones dominated Rampage here, and I feel that Rampage may have thrown the fight just for the money. After the fight in the press conference he only had one thing on his mind and he told the press so: "(I don't care if I got beat)- I made a lot of money".
In the octagon after the fight Rampage also said "I'm glad I didn't get hurt too bad". ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Dana White must've perked his ears up over that nonsense. Rampage said he was the "Best Rampage Ever" in the octagon when he fought Jones. Right. Then why do you look better in other fights I've seen, Quinton???
You looked better against Chuck Liddell. You looked better vs. Rashad Evans! Against Jones you looked like you were standing still!
UFC 135 has a better main card than the prelim fights. I love Nate Diaz' performance against Takanori Gomi and the Travis Browne fight vs. Rob Broughton was interesting to me. The prelims have a truly terrible fight between Junior Assuncao and Eddie Yagin. Skip that one. The crowd booed during most of the fight, and it was well-deserved.
Ultimate Knockouts 9 has over 32 fights on the DVD, and I loved about 10 of them:
Rich Frankllin vs. Chuck Liddell
Carlos Condit vs. Dan Hardy- what a BEAUTIFUL ending to a trash-talking goof!
BJ Penn vs. Matt Hughes- the 22 second KO from Heaven!
Mark Hominick's domination of George Roop- sweet!
Cain Vs. Brock- WOW.
Mac Danzig super-stoked over his KO on Joe Stevenson- very nice.
Brad Tavares unreal upset over Phil Baroni
Mike Russo's astounding KO of Todd Duffee- Joe Rogan said it was the craziest thing he's seen in over 1000 fights!
UFC 111 is another excellent 2-DVD set from Anchor Bay. I highly recommend it.
Frank Mir gets demolished by Shane Carwin before the first round is over, as Brock Lesnar predicted. Shane got the interim belt, but interim championship belts are "fake belts", as Brock said also. "Interim" means "meanwhile the real Champ is getting in top form for the title fight".
This was the card that led to Brock vs. Carwin (which Brock won by submission), and to this day Frank Mir is still floundering around somewhere, getting ready to be the next punching bag to whomever. (For Money).
UFC is the best sport in the world.
Tell the Mayor.
UFC 111's Main Event is Georges St.-Pierre vs. Dan Hardy (a British trash-talking goof who has never impressed me).
The fight went the full 5 rounds, with Georges doing the same thing he always does, taking his opponent down every time, and wrestling with him until he gets a decision. *YAWN*
When was the last time St.Pierre dazzled us in the octagon? Yeah, you're an awesome fighter Georges. But I'm getting immensely bored with you.
You don't pump me up! And why do you wear that Japanese headband all the time? You're from Quebec, right? What are you doing with the rising sun on your forehead then?
Same thing with Frank Mir. He's got all kinds of revolting tattoos with Asian characters- does he think he's an Asian fighter?
Is he trying to be a mystical or samurai or something? LOL
He's not. He just lumbers around the octagon, not doing anything remotely "martial art-like".
I also have been scrutinizing UFC 168, the glorious show where Chris Weidman broke Anderson Silva's leg like a twig.
Anderson is the most disrespectful fighter in the history of the UFC. He deserved to get his leg broken. I even feel he deserved WORSE.
That first fight was so pathetic to watch. Silva was mocking Weidman the whole time. Then Chris knocked his dumb Brazillian ass out.
It was glorious.
The re-match was even more glorious. This time Silva wasn't clowning around anymore. He just got really angry when Chris landed a sweet body kick.
You can see Anderson kick him back harder than he's ever thrown a kick before, in anger at being kicked. Chris checks the kick, and the career is over. Bye Bye Anderson Silva. You made a fortune, you and your grandkids can play videogames at home for the rest of your lives. :)
I have a couple Pride DVD's as well, and that organization is where a lot of fighters who ended up in the UFC began or were a part of.
Pride 31 and 32 are not bad DVD's even though the announcers/commentators are not that professional to me, and the "production" is not as polished athe UFC is. The fights are pretty interesting, tho.
Butterbean! (Who doesn't love Butterbean?)
Fedor! One the best of all time.
Shogun Rua, Rampage Jackson, Kevin Randleman, Josh Barnett, Alaistair Overeem- all household names now, are on these cards.
Check 'em out. It's ropes, no octagon.
Chris Weidman won a decision against My Man Lyoto Machida.
You can't say Weidman sucks anymore. He beat Anderson Silva (twice) and beat Lyoto Machida.
You have a CAREER in the UFC if you can beat those two fighters.
They are the two best fighters the UFC has ever had, in my opinion. It's the "Weidman Era" right now!
UFC 166
An absolutely essential event to own if you are a UFC fan. This was the Epic third fight between Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez.
The 2-DVD set includes the first two fights between Cain and Junior (a very nice bonus).
It showed just how much of a beast Cain Velasquez is, if you had no clue before. As Joe Rogan likes to point out, Cain's work ethic and cardio is SUPERHUMAN. Apparently he outworks everybody in the gym, and trains with Daniel Cormier, an undefeated fighter who impresses me immensely. (Who also beat tool Frank Mir, so I love him anyways :)
Cain beat the snot out of Junior here, to retain his belt, and to definitively lay claim to who is the Best Heavyweight in the UFC.
It's unreal how Cain takes Junior apart over 5 rounds. To beat up Junior dos Santos you have to be a fucking animal. PERIOD.
UFC 169
More can be said about UFC 169. I watched it again and I find it worth checking out. I studied the Overeem/Mir bout and it was a rout, as Joe Rogan correctly assessed. Mir was annihilated, actually, not merely beat pathetically.
Alistair Overeem put on a clinic with Mir.
In the Countdown program Alistair said he was gonna KO Mir, which I feel he could have done in the first round easily. Instead, The Reem decided to just toy with Mir, and systematically beat him to a pulp. The "ground strikes landed" statistic was shown at 1 minute and 35 seconds left in the third round, and it read like this:
MIR: 3
OVEREEM: 111
Yeah. It was a rout.
Mir cannot compete anymore in my opinion. He landed 3 ground strikes on Overeem and nothing else in the whole fight. Outclassed? SHIT....
Overeem played with him like a cat with dead mouse.
If you may be wondering why I'm not posting about the UFC much anymore, it's because I'm disgusted with the organization after info has come out that they allow their fighters to fight while doped up on performance enhancing drugs. Anderson Silva has fought Nick Diaz recently, after having his leg broken by Chris Weidman (astounding! but not that astounding- Silva was on steroids!).
Diaz also tested positive for marijuana use. WTF is the UFC doing? These two were found guilty before the fight!
This all smells a little too mafia-esque, a little too Vince McMahon, a little too Don King for my liking, and until I see some serious changes to drug testing in the UFC, I don't buy a single DVD or watch another fight. This kind of thing DESTROYS companies, so you'd better get your act together, Fertittas & Dana White....It's so disappointing I'm ashamed to say I watch UFC now. And that SUX.
Frank Mir fights Todd Duffee next wednesday and I'm looking forward to that. Duffee called out Frank, saying he's desperate for a payday. (Which is what Mir's all about, not fighting). Mir beat Bigfoot Silva in a yawner of a match, and hasn't faced any competition since he got KO'd by Junior dos Santos, ages ago. Why is Frank Mir still around? He's no legend to me. He's a disgrace. He wants a rematch with Brock Lesnar so badly he can't sleep at night. Brock just signed a big contract with the WWE, so he won't be coming back to the UFC.
How does that feel, Frank? You made Brock wait how fucking long for a rematch? 18 fucking months.
Enjoy it. Eat it. UFC 100 showed the world what a fighter you really are: a weak one. I hope Todd Duffee makes his career against you.
I hope he knocks you the fuck out. Todd was right: all of the UFC Heavyweights are busy, and you need a challenge Frank.
Everytime you face an opponent who's a challenge, you end up in the fetal position, getting your ass handed to you.
I will be watching this fight next wed. night. I have a vested interest in seeing Frank Mir get beat bad. It's one the pleasures of my life to see him get annihilated, as he did in UFC 100.
Frank Mir should've packed it in after he was dominated by Alaistair Overeem, but no, he's still around.
It's mystifying. He'll never win the Heavyweight belt again, so what the hell is the UFC doing?
I just don't get it. Mir has nothing to offer. He got beat up by so many people that his wins are moot.
He wants another fight with Nogeira? A guy he's beaten twice? What the fuck for, Frank??
Is it because you can only beat old guys way past their prime? Jesus Frank, why don't you just pack. it. in?
You're still pining for a match with a WWE superstar, one who KO'd your ass. You don't get another opportunity after running your mouth like an idiot about Brock for so long. Brock is no dummy. He'll probably never set foot in the ring with you again. And not because he might get beat. It's because you're not worthy, Frank. Plain and simple. If that belt was yours, you would've taken it.
If you're that great, then you'd be a number 2,3,4 contender. But no, you're ranked 10th, and it means NOTHING.
I have to give Frank Mir credit- he KO'd Todd Duffee in 90 seconds, ruining my chances of savouring another Mir beating.
Hey Duffee: you've just proven 3 things:
1) You talk a lot of smack and don't back it up
2) You have no chin, as many MMA followers said before the fight
3) If you can't beat Frank Mir then you don't belong in the UFC, Heavyweight division or otherwise.
Thanks for ruining my night Duffee!! I was banking on you annihilating that fossil! Now I have to endure listening to Mir gloat for the next 6 months. Jesus, I know fights can go either way, they are unpredictable, but Christ ALmighty Todd you should've had this one.
Just a small post about the UFC and Frank Mir.
Mir was so excited by his quick defeat of Todd Duffee that he took a fight on pretty short notice against Andrei Arlovski.
Arlovski won by a decision. You see how Frank Mir operates? He tries to capitalize on minimal successes all the time.
Now he's bitching about how he wishes he and Arlovski could've skipped each other. Frank had it in his tiny mind that Arlovski and him would face each other for the belt, with Mir winning the title. Right. As Doctor Phil would say: "How's that workin' out for ya?", Frank?
Frank Mir is endlessly entertaining.
He wants a re-match with Arlovski, and so do I.
Let's put Frank back in his place, Andrei!
UFC 193 saw Ronda Rousey get her teeth loosened with a brutal kick to the head. She is a polarizer in MMA, with people loving her or hating her. (And 'Ol Johann hated her :)
She put women's MMA on the map. I will not take that away from her. She raised the UFC's profile and got people's tongues wagging big time. The problem I had with her is her monstrous, grotesque ego. Everybody on the planet has an ego, but hers was galactically huge, and it wasn't justified. She dominated as women's champ. But I don't think she faced any real competiton until she met Holly Holm.
Holm was technically perfect in that fight. She took Rousey right out of the octagon, right out of the building. Took her apart like mechanically separated chicken. And that kick did so much damage to Rousey's medulla that I think it's over for her. If she steps into that ring again I'll be shocked. Ronda met her match and then some. I never liked Ronda. Something about her whole vibe was just plain wrong. There is something weirdly unpleasant about her. Her attitude sux so much that I took glee in her knockout. I still do.
Just like watching Frank Mir get pounded into oblivion in UFC 100 by Brock Lesnar brings me immense glee. Can't wait to buy the DVD.
I have zero sympathy for Ronda Rousey. She said at the weigh-ins that she was gonna show Holly Holm "Why I'm the Champ".
You failed miserably, Ronda.
Go make movies.
You lost your way and may never get it back.
Another point about Ronda Rousey.
She refused to touch gloves with Holly Holm.
Someone needs to tell Ronda that if you don't touch gloves before the fight starts then you had better lay a beating down on your opponent. Because guess what sister? If you don't, you will look like the colossal fool you do right now.
Trash talk is Awesome. I love it to death. But My Sweet Lord you'd better be able to back up your mouth. Frank Mir learned the hard way. That's called the School of Hard Knocks. You've never been in that position before, have you Ronda? What's it like?
With regards to a re-match between Holm & Rousey, Ronda's got a lot of work to do in the gym if she wants to defeat Holly.
There's not much in Ronda's toolbag that convinces me she'll defeat Holm, let alone "dominate" her.
What did Ronda say on Jimmy Fallon's show?: "She'll probably frustrate me until I make a mistake and then try to kick me in the head. But it's not going to happen that way. *smiles*"
Mmmm-Hmmm. Right-O.
She's not just arrogant. She's dumb. She's dismissive when she shouldn't be. What's THAT? I hear Johnny Cash!: "You can run on a long time, but sooner or later God's gonna cut you down".
Never underestimate your opponent in the UFC. If that person made the cut to put on those gloves, then they have the potential to take you out. You need brains AND brawn to be a Champion. There's a serious danger of believing your own hype when you win many times in a row. But you aren't invincible, Baby. You'll get your bell rung eventually.
As someone said on Twitter: "WE NEVER SAW HER GET HIT. Ever. When you get hit, you get a new perspective on Life... "
UFC 196 is Feb. 6th, and the Heavyweight Championship belt is on the line.
Febricio Werdum (Champion) faces Cain Velasquez again, and I can't wait. Their last meeting was pretty damn epic.
Someone beat Cain! Will history repeat itself? Who knows? I have huge respect for both men. (Febricio is the first fighter to decisively defeat Fedor. That commands instant respect). I won't even dare to predict an outcome.
But it should be awesome. I'm watching it Live on PPV.
Ronda Rousey has publicly stated that she isn't retiring and that a re-match with Holly Holm WILL HAPPEN in 2016.
OK Sweetie. I can't wait to see that. You'd better be boxing your ass off until fight night!
Because I don't see a damn thing in your toolbag that will help you beat Holly Holm.
Holly already put an exclamation point on your suckitude...what do you think will happen next time?
If you don't learn how to box, the only chance you have is to take her down...and you're not strong enough Ronda.
I will watch the re-match with Glee...
My favorite idiot Frank Mir will face Mark Hunt on UFC Fight Night 84 in March.
I read that Mir had "career-saving wins" against Bigfoot Silva and Todd Duffee.
Um, Hello...Frank's career was over when he faced Overeem. His career was OVER.
Dana White must've felt pity for him, sad that Mir couldn't put food on his table anymore.."Let the boy fight" must've been Mir's Dad's plea...
Mark Hunt was never wanted by the UFC- they didn't want him on their roster when his contract was included in the Pride deal.
That angers me. The UFC is elitist, but I watch it just for the joy of seeing goombah's I hate get beaten up.
Mark Hunt has faced Febricio Werdum and lost (Mir hasn't), so I give the edge to Mark. He hits like a Mack Truck.
And Mark, if you're listening, knock that Vegas idiot out, Please.
Put a definitive stamp on it. I want no judges scorecards for a decision. I want that idiot KO'd like he deserves.
I'm sure I don't have to remind you that the UFC didn't want you in the octagon.
Lay a sinister beat-down on a coddled little child for me, will ya?
I'll buy you a case of beer- your choice of brand Mark!
Sunday night was UFC fight night 81, held in Boston. I didn't see it, but I've seen the results.
Dillashaw lost his bantamweight belt to Cruz and Matt Mitrione was defeated by Travis Browne, and received a brutal hematoma and broken orbital bone for his troubles. Browne played dirty, using his fingers as a rake- poking Matt twice in the eye. (And the ref didn't deduct a point or declare a no contest-WTF?) Is being Ronda Rousey's beau making you a heel, Travis? I predict Ronda will dump you in the future. I see your relationship as a temporary thing. Please prove me wrong. I had respect for you- you KO'd The REEM! After being pummelled like a ragdoll. You earned my respect for that. But your recent fight with Matt was disgraceful. You won, but so what? I want a re-match between you two when Matt heals up! AND A NEW REF!!!!
Mark Hunt has spoken! On his fight with Frank Mir, he said an hour ago:
When Frank fails to take me down, I'll Knock him out.
Right On, Mark! You got the right headspace. You're a KO specialist. Mir isn't. You hit real hard. I've seen it.
That's why I'm super stoked about this fight. Mir's a snake...beware...his head is full of concrete. Make sure you tag his temple or straight on the chin. Mir's got a thick skull.
Here's more reasons to be in Mark Hunt's corner:
- he fought Alaistair Overeem, like Mir, but instead of being pounded to a pulp, like Mir was, the REEM felt Hunt was a big threat and moved fast to submit him. (and did- Overeem is a freak of nature)
-His fight with Junior dos Santos (which Mark lost) is considered by many to be the best heavyweight fight the UFC ever had.
How did Mir fare with dos Santos? Riiiiight. Hammer fist! Get out!
-Mark KO'd Roy Nelson. Nuff said. he KO'd Big Country. Mir didn't.
Who wins UFC fight night 84?
Mark Hunt. By KO.
Frank Mir said in an interview (a bad one, where he's lounging at a spa or something with shitty sound) that Mark Hunt is a dangerous guy, especially his left hook.
Glad you're aware of that Frank.
Try not to tagged with it. You tend to forget who your opponent is in the octagon.
Kiwi Mark knows your only shot is to take him down and try to submit him. Good luck with that.
More reasons to love Mark Hunt:
He asked to fight either Junior dos Santos or Alistair Overeem next, but he's not allowed.
He's already fought both guys and lost, and I certainly wouldn't want to step into the octagon against either one of those guys, especially after getting KO'd and submitted, respectively. I'd have to make damn sure I had adjusted my game accordingly before even considering that! Mark apparently is ready to do it again. That's fuckin' Awesome. That's a man with no fear and ambition for the belt! He's already thinking beyond Mir, saying he wants a Top 5 contender after he dispatches Frank. I love it.
I don't know why Alaistair Overeem isn't Heavyweight Champ- to me he's better than Werdum, better than Cain, better than dos Santos, and he's not faced any of 'em. (CORRECTION: He faced dos Santos- KO!) Werdum is Awesome, and if he's got the belt, then he's the baddest man in the UFC right now.
Overeem is so experienced and so damn BIG that he should be virtually unbeatable. That fight with Travis Browne showed that The REEM has a weakness- and it's mental. I think he had a mental slip by getting KO'd, because he was owning Travis until then.
He had a mental slip, forgot where he was, just like Anderson Silva got thrown off his game by Chris Weidman.
You wanna beat Overeem? MENTAL WARFARE in the octagon, Baby!
Cain Velasquez is injured! The fight with Werdum has been altered! I won't be watching it on PPV!
I'll save my money and tell you the results instead! Yeah! Why am I using exclamation points! I don't know!
LOL
More brutal news:
Travis Browne is a woman-beater. My respect for Travis has evaporated. Travis is still married to another woman while he pokes Ronda Rousey! She hosted SNL, and was sporting a ring- and Travis's wife tweeted "Did Travis give Ronda a "Promise Ring???" and warned her how much of a mistake it is to date Travis, who beat his wife, apparently. You know, I really despise guys who hit women. You're not a fucking man if you hit a woman. There is no way on God's earth you can look cool or righteous when hitting a woman. NEVER. Even if the bitch deserves to be 6-feet under, YOU DON'T DO IT. You don't look good even if you were in the right. You look like a knuckle-dragging cro-magnon asshole fuckhead. And that's what you are, Travis Browne. You lay your hands on a chick, you're pure scum, for ETERNITY. If she deserves what's coming to her, then you get smart and find another way to one-up her. You don't lay a hand on a woman, ever. So make no mistake: Ronda Rousey is Dumb to the millionth power. Can't wait to see how the break-up with Travis will go down...
Sorry Travis, you're a fucking idiot. No respect will be given to you from this moment forward...
I just learned that legendary MMA fighter Kevin Randleman died over a week ago. Sad news...
I've seen many of his fights, the best being his war with Fedor (which he lost) where he dumped Fedor on his head! The greatest slam in MMA history was in that fight, and it was Kevin's work. He lost the fight, but that slam is gonna be replayed for decades to come..
Werdum refused to fight in UFC 196 without Cain as his opponent, while at the same time citing an injury. I'm a little amazed that these guys can get out of a fight so easily. How are lawsuits not flying? I would never say guys get injured to get out of fights, but I really wouldn't be surprised. If I was a UFC fighter you'd never see me weasel out of a fight. Never. I'd never let anyone even THINK I was about that. You duck a fight, you're a coward to me.
Why'd ya take the fight in the first place, if ya weren't serious, dummy???
Just some updates on the UFC (things change very fast in this sport!):
- My Man Lyoto Machida is gearing up to take on Dan Henderson again in April. Those two guys are my boys, and I hate that they're paired up again. But, as I said before, my money's on Machida. I love Lyoto's style so much..maythe best man win. I'll be watching with Bells On!
- Chris Weidman was handed his first defeat in December, at the hands of Luke Rockhold (what a name for an MMA fighter, eh?). Chris got ground 'n pounded into a TKO that bloodied up his face. Luke did some damage. Chris said he wasn't making an excuse when he said he fought with an injured foot- he thought he could beat Luke even with the injury. He was wrong. Watch out for Luke Rockhold, folks. The guy is impressive...You TKO Weidman you're a BAD MAN. :)
- Michael Bisping faces Anderson Silva very soon- Is Silva CLEAN, Dana White? Holy fuck do I hope so. I wish Mike Luck. I'd love to see him beat Silva. What a feather in his cap that would be...
- and in May Alistair Overeem looks like he'll be fighting Andrei Arlovski. Good luck, Andrei. I love you, but I have to give the win to The Reem. If you had trouble putting Frank Mir away, you'll be in the hurt locker against Alistair. But anything can happen in this sport, and if you beat The Reem you're in a very exclusive club...
Michael Bisping won a Unanimous decision against Anderson Silva on Saturday night. AWESOME MIKE!
I watched the highlight reel, and Silva proved how much of a shitstain he is yet again, thinking he KO'd Mike with a knee.
Not quite, you disgraceful Idiot.
Bisping knocked Silva down with a right hand, I thought it was over then-clearly he had the upper hand. Silva played dirty, as he always does, and he's a complete fraud to me.
I want to start a petition to have Anderson Silva barred from fighting ever again.
He pisses me off that much. Fuck Silva. He's a walking mistake.
Mike, I got a few pints with your name on 'em...
UFC 196 is one for the record books.
Holly Holm was choked out by Meisha Tate- Astounding! Congrats Meisha! That's gotta sting Ronda Rousey something Fierce...Ronda gets knocked out, and Meisha does what Ronda couldn't!- submit Holly! Wowza. I'm very happy for Meisha, NEW BANTAMWEIGHT CHAMP!!
And Conor McGregor lost to Nate Diaz- stunning.(To me at least) Conor should've had this one. Diaz is easy to beat in my opinion. You only have to study 2 fights and you should know how to attack that lanky pothead. LOL
