MMA you Filthy Bastards!

hey fayceoff, if you dont get spike there how are you going to watch ufc 70?

[fayceoff]

I don't know. Sometimes they have mercy on us and broadcast UFC's on the AFN (the Armed Forces Network), but usually I have to beg a friend to send me a tape/DVD of them. (- Do I have any friends here? hehehe... )Otherwise, I have to wait for them to play on come out on retail DVD.

See the sacrifices we military members make for you civilian-types?

[NoStickers]

i'd record it for ya if i had the capability but unfortunately i don't

[Beancooker]

hey Beanie, if you don't mind me asking, what kind of injury did you get?

Took a solid Thai clench knee to the top inside of the eyebrow. Then that was followed by a few really hard punches, to the same spot. Fell on my back, and with head on the mat, he came in with a solid punch to the same spot, then an elbow or 2 there also. Queer that was reffing was WAY LATE. Split the skin at the inside of my eye right at the top of my nose, fractured my eye socket, broke my nose. Honestly, it scared me, a lot. That's why I pussed out and quit. Embarrassing also, since it happened at my own gym.

Meh. There's always UFC on Demand, also. Unfortunately, it's like $2 per fight. One way or another, I'll see all the UFC's events - even if not until next March when I get back stateside.

ouch.

I can imagine it being scary....not gonna be much fun to lose sight in an eye.

[Beancooker]

They both still work. Didn't lose anything other than some pride. LOL. I just have a small scar from the split. Really, it was probably for the better that I quit.

[Mr1der]

that's good.

an injury like that can cause serious damage though.

not to mention hurt like a mother****er.

[Mr1der]

AND....yet another upset in 2007.

Gonzaga just became a huge topic in the scene.

[NoStickers]

I was a little worried when cro cop was doing just about nothing on the ground and then wham next thing i know he just got kicked in the head and ended up with his own foot in his ***. that was a surprise to me.

[fayceoff]

I feel like Charlie Brown: AAAAUUUGHHHH!! I MISSED ANOTHER ONE!

[Mr1der]

well....here's the end of it.

I might be able to find the full fight for you

[fayceoff]

Damn. Got all happy, but then I clicked on it, and the stupid MWR (Morale Welfare, & Recreation for all you civilians) computer won't open that page. Thanks for trying. I guess I'll just have to start with UFC On Demand on the website when I get back in port.

[mac2686]

I watched that knock out on that link and i remember watching it on spike.... that was freakin nuts

[kOOukiCrisp]

no more mma talk? i wanna join the convo. my brother trains mma and teaches me sum, but i watch more than i train. im asian, so i love muay thai (dad lived in thailand and trained) so had teached us sum while growin up. i love bjj because its so technical, and you can never learn enough of it. as far as bjj goes, i say EDDIE BRAVO FOR LIFE! lol, love the rubber guard

[Mr1der]

Bravo does indeed rock...10th planet has it's perks...but BJJ wise...how can you not love BJ Penn and Big Nog?

[kOOukiCrisp]

of course...nogueira and bj penn are great, no doubt. bj is great! he got his black belt in only like 3 or 4 years of training. but, bj penns rubber guard isnt mastered yet. bj penn is no doubt one of the best though. i cant wait to watch bj own jens pulver! its gonna be ridiculous.

[fayceoff]

Has anyone here ever actually seen Bravo in competition of any sort? I have his book (JiuJitsu Unleashed) right tnext to my book by Renzo & Royler Gracie and I like Bravo's BOOK a lot better for actual fighting, but I've seen the Gracie's FIGHT and kick a$$... Kind of ironic, huh? Don't get me wrong, I'd learn from Bravo, but I'd love to see what happens if he started getting elbowed in the face while trying to hold the rubber guard on someone like Matt Hughes.

[Mr1der]

well...it done well, the beauty of the rubber guard is that it keeps the opponent pinned down and unable to throw real hard shots.

but yeah...I don't know how well Bravo would do under the heat. I like Unleashed though..I've got a copy of it somewhere as well. The rubbergaurd sets up for a lot more variety in sweeps too.

Renzo is the best Gracie in MMA hands down.

the coolest one too...I hope he gets a rematch with Frank Shamrock after Baroni makes him his *****.

[fayceoff]

Yeah, I know that's the purpose of it, but what I'm wondering is if he could make it work against someone with the farmboy/monster/retard strength of Hughes... Just idle thoughts...

[Mr1der]

dunno....I'd imagine it makes it a bit easier to get elevated and slammed.

I need to join a gym so I have people to roll with.

[fayceoff]

You could do that... Or you could join the Marines!

[Mr1der]

the thought still crosses my mind.

I'd be one of the oldest e2's around at 25 too

[fayceoff]

Just shank a Corporal in the shower and take his chevrons from his rack.... That's how I'm planning to get E7.

What did you think of that Lightweight fight yesterday? Guida/Griffin. That was the $h!t.

[Mr1der]

that's what I heard.

I didn't bother to pay for that card though....wtf UFC seriously...

73 however...goddamn what a card.

[fayceoff]

Yeah, and of course, I'm going to miss that one, because I'm going back to the desert this week. Yesterday wasn't too shabby, but 73 is definitely going to be better and 74 is looking like it won't be too bad either.

You gotta check out that LW fight from yesterday, though - action packed, and very technical on the ground.

[kOOukiCrisp]

just got back from wisconsin dells for a small vacation. so i missed ufc 72. how was it? was the rich franklin fight any good? i thought he'd knockout that jap guy.

[fayceoff]

It was decent... Okami is a pretty good fighter, and he was just coming off wins over Mike Swick and Kaleb Starnes, but he just wasn't quite at Franklin's level. I don't see anything that indicates the Franklin is ready to try Silva again, though...

[kOOukiCrisp]

i dont think anybody is ready to beat anderson silva...IMO.what do you think of chris horedecki from the anacondas on ifl. that kid is a beast! he started training mma when he was like 13.

whats with randy couture? is he gonna defend his title? or is he gonna retire?

[Mr1der]

he defends against Gonzaga in August I think.....
