Anyway, that's not happening any time soon sooo, MMA is fine for me. | |

Looking forward to that one!  | |

Posted: 9/13/2011 9:40:29 PM | | Sorry a.g. ...I left you with the wrong impression... I was just stating what a 'real fight' is, which is NOT MMA. MMA..I like, both as a spectator and participant. REAL fighting... (like gladiator days)...as either a spectator or participant... I could do without, truth be told. Real fights are not to be glorified or sought after... especially fights to the death and killing. So I guess Im not one of those 'every men'... | |

Posted: 11/12/2011 7:07:28 PM | UFC on Fox just happened.
Glad to see Henderson beat Guida. 
And in the main event....
JDS KO'ed Cain at 1:04 of the first to win the HW title. .......................

Posted: 11/12/2011 8:57:55 PM | That KO was shocking. Did not expect that...well not in the 1st round!
I must say that I did not like how FOX ran the event. Too much flash, not enough substance. | |

Posted: 11/13/2011 5:46:13 AM | I will say this, UFC last night on FOX was an epic fail. 59 minutes of BS, and one minute of action. They should have at least thrown on another fight that happened earlier. I had heard the Guida fight was one hell of a contest.
I agree with the OP, I think MMA is the best form of fighting. You have to have a mixture of disiplines to be a winner in the octagon. I was never a big fan of boxing. | |

It was! Thankfully one of the sports stations here aired the other fights. | |

Posted: 11/13/2011 11:16:54 AM | Like has been stated, too much Fox bs and not enough fight. We don't need all that build up for something that may last 2 minutes. This isn't the SB.
I love UFC, but that was an epic fail in trying to convert the non-believers. | |

Posted: 11/14/2011 5:28:26 AM | I'm just glad they made it our there. 
Apparently it looks like Cain sprained his knee before the fight, which could explain him being a little soft in the middle. And JDS tore the meniscus in his knee 11 days before the fight, and was on crutches for a few days.
As dissapointed as I was that it ended that quickly, I fully understood that things could go that way with big dudes like that.
It got 5.7 million viewers, which is the biggest for mma on network tv ever.
I'm sure it would've went higher ratings wise had the fight went a few rounds. | |

Posted: 11/15/2011 1:41:42 PM | | Watching MMA, how much brain damage are these guys going to have in 5 years? This is worrisome as Cain got rcoked as did Lesnar, carwin and a whole bunch of other fighters. These guys have no idea how much danger they are in. Scary! | |

Posted: 11/15/2011 3:42:52 PM | MMA is far safer than boxing is.
It's better for a guy to just get ko'ed after being hurt than to be given an 8 count and allowed to continue.
Also, the bigger boxing gloes soften the blow, but it still doesn't stop the brain from hitting the inside of the skull. It just makes the blows lighter, but also causes it to add up in the long run in ways that it doesn't in mma.
Most of the real damage is done in sparring. And in mma, they do more than hit each other in the head.
They can grapple and also hit other body parts.
In boxing, they are pretty much getting hit in the head constantly, which is very unsafe.
MMA is not only safer than boxing, but it's also safer than football. | |

Posted: 11/19/2011 9:33:47 PM | Dan Henderson and Shogun Rua are two of the GOAT in MMA.
They are also two of the toughest people I have ever seen.
It might have been the greatest MMA fight ever.
Dan won.
I had it 47-46 Hendo. | |

Posted: 11/20/2011 2:25:16 PM | | Madness, you said it all. Difficult to describe the action in that fight. Unbelievable heart showed by Shogun. My buddies and I were on the edge of our seats the whole time. The Wanderlei and Faber fights were excellent, too. | |

Posted: 11/21/2011 3:58:00 AM | I love Cung Le's style of fighting!
I'm impressed that he is able to use such fancy moves in a top-level competitive situation, you'd usually expect to see that style of fighting in the movies. | |

Posted: 11/22/2011 4:57:25 PM | MUSTBEKC- I like both the UFC and MMA. I used to watch boxing, but I admit it's boring in comparison.
I like the fact that in UFC and MMA, you can use leg kicks, knees, go to the mat, wrestle.
The best part to me is the use of martial arts.
I've seen fights that look more like a dance than a fight, boring.
I like it when they really go at each other and I highly prefer a stand up style fighter to a wrestler/submit type fighter. | |

Diaz will still fight on the same card, but it will be against Condit for the interm title.

That's a real shame!!! 
I have to admit, my focus is on the Jones/Machida fight at the moment. The Mir/Nogeira rematch should be interesting too.
I'm also a sucker for fights like Lesnar/Overeem, with the behemoths going at it. Overeem is a name I've been aware of for a while, so it'll be good to see him pitted against someone like Lesnar.
This is going to be an exciting month for MMA!!! | |

Posted: 12/8/2011 8:04:54 AM | I don't see Overeem being able to stuff Brock's takedowns, unless he's improved his TD defence greatly.
His chin isn't exactly legendary either. Nor is his cardio.
If he can keep it standing for any length of time, and also have some good cardio for once, then he should be able to take Brock out, but I doubt it. | |

Posted: 12/9/2011 2:18:54 AM | I was surprised at how well Velasquez neutralised Brock's takedowns in their match (though I realise Cain has a wrestling background too) as Brock would seem to be much physically stronger. I was also surprised that Junior Dos Santos was able to neutralise Velasquez's wrestling in their bout.
Brock's cardio isn't amazing either. He always comes out very strong, but if the fight drags on he starts to flag a little bit (though his cardio seems far better than Shane Carwin's!).
If Brock is able to land one of those solid random punches we've seen from him before on Herring and Couture, he could KO Overeem or at least knock him down and jump all over him.
If he gets a mounted position (or anything close to it) he'll just go 'Donkey Kong' on Overeem and probably get the fight stopped or score a submission.
I don't know much about Overeem, but I suspect he'll just try to keep it as a stand-up fight and pick Brock apart from a distance and try to stuff his TD attempts.
Brock did very badly against Carwin and Velasquez, but I can't help thinking his illness was a significant factor in those fights. Hopefully, all the treatment and rest has enabled him to finally recover and regain his full strength.
My prediction (based on their styles and Brock's power) for this would be Brock - but I guess we'll see. | |
