MMA Thread II

The Last Emperor is done. He cannot compete at that weight any longer. I do think he'd present a lot of problems as a light-heavy, which is what he truly is.

A Silva is still the most incredible fighter I've ever seen. I'm now perfecting my kick that guy in the face move.

Yeah...I think the whole "size doesn't matter" thing you saw in the early 90's just doesn't hold true anymore. At least with the upper echelon fighters. All things being equal (as in skills in MMA as a whole), size really does matter. I would not be surprised to see a weight class somewhere between the 205 and heavyweight division in the near future. It's needed IMO.

And I agree about A. Silva. (though I laugh at Steven Seagal acting like he had anything to do with that kick).

[Tambourine Man]

Johnny! In addition to being the size of his opponents thigh, Fedor is just plain getting old. He could reinvent himself as a wily veteran that picks his spots, but it just wouldn't be the same without that crazy aggression he brings. I do wanna see him and Randy brawl before it's all over.

And the Seagal thing...Just when I thought Anderson couldn't get any weirder, out he walks with that loon. I just couldn't help but laugh.

Am I the only fool that still watches this stuff? Anyway, Dos Santos was awfully impressive last night. I usually pretty much ignore the HW division, but he's a guy I can root for.

Fedor/Hendo next month is gonna be interesting.

[Blitzer]

I watched it. Oooooo boy Santos destroyed Carwin's face.

[Tambourine Man]

Fedor/Hendo. Who ya got? I dropped HBO and picked up Showtime just for this event, and I honestly think Hendo might take him via submission. Or via KO. Or Fedor wins by KO or submission.

women's mma is as bad as the wnba

[Tambourine Man]

And Dana White has his revenge...Fedor has been dropped by Zuffa and I have no idea where in the hell he can go. Probably windup in some fly by night organization and drift into obscurity.

Probably end up killing himself or his family, maybe skid row, what with the repetitive brain injuries.
