General MMA Thoughts/Discussion

But some are ATG'S

Off the top of my head

Penn v Hughes
Barnett v Nogueira
Saku v Royce/Royler/Renzo/Newton
Hughes v Newton
Maia v Fitch/Sonnen
Randy v Nogueira
Lesnar v Mir
Hendo v Shields
Silva v Sonnen

 

I didn't see Mighty Mouse and Torres. How was it? I know the decision was disputed by many. I'm not talking about the score. Just the fight itself.

 

I didnt list MM v Miguel...but I thought Torres won it off his back. Good fight from memory

 

Miguel Torres: Unluckiest Man in MMA History

 

Nah

 

Fluke KO loss to Bowles, robbed against Johnson, double-standard ****ed by Dana White.

 

The Brian Kod wasnt a fluke...I thought he won v MM, but there was a case for Johnson, agreed it was double standards but he shouldnt be making **** jokes, he's just unlucky he wasnt Forrest, legitimately stopped by class guys in Bena & McDonald...

 

True I'm a wrestler myself so I typically respect it anyway but you get my point. If the wrestler doesn't want to take the bjj guy down and the bjj guy can't take the wrestler down it can be shitty. Cormier-Mir is still fresh in my mind though

 

I understand Muchy, but on the whole you could break down every style v style match up you would get probably more misses the hits so to speak and with BJJ V Wrestling being the most prominent in MMA then that speaks for itself imo

But when it is good, it's damn good

 

I'm actually looking forward to the Maia vs koscheck fight.

On Mighty Mouse vs Torres that was a very good fight. The scrambles were insane just an incredible pace set for a fight that was a non stop action ground game. I felt Torres took it close but clear 2-1 if my memory is right. The only way I could think mm took it was if you favoured positioning over effectiveness on the ground. Although mm looked in the better position Torres was attacking for subs constantly.

 

I was on FB and I've got a post from UFC "LIVE" asking for fantasy fight Brock VS Fedor...

I smell big come back for both guy in 2014....


Or not !

 

Hard lines to my long time mate and gym sparring partner Mark Glover last night on Cage Warriors, 18 months out of the cage is way to long kid! A fight reminiscent of Diaz Condit, Glover being Diaz :think

Jesse Taylor is looking like an animal at this level :deal

Danny Roberts's stand up is looking better and better each time out, another kid who trains in Liverpool :deal :yep Brilliant prospect.

All round high level stuff IMO

Anyone go fella's?

 

Phillipou....
