question about Ninja - Lawler. . .

lol. I wouldnt say he blows, I think thats a bit harsh. For the first 2 rounds, he looked pretty good. Lawler came out in the 3rd on a mission to KO him and thats exactly what he did. Props to Lawler.

Overall, this was a pretty damn good show. There were some very entertaining fights. Villasenor vs. Fukuda and Diaz vs. Aina were both great to watch.

Shields dominated Charuto. I thought he would win, but I didnt think it would be so one sided. Honestly, I would like to see Shields and Carlos Condit in the UFC soon. I dont think they would beat the top dogs, but they would make good additions.

 

Ninja never really steps up and delivers when he should.

 

Yeah, it was pretty good, but Ninja is not good. He has no business being a champion...anywhere. He's not that good on the ground (and he's a ChuteBox fighter!) and his standup blows. I think he was at his best at 205, and I'm not sure why that is. His brief stint at heavyweight was just hilarious. The guy's not a good fighter, and his brother is great. Weird how those genetics worked.

 

Agreed. I'd be sorta pissed that my younger brother makes me look like ****.

 

I wouldnt say he isnt a good fighter, but he is definitely not a great fighter. I agree that hes not a champion, hes not even top 10 at 185.

 

I noticed on Ninja's record, he lost by split decision to both Dan Henderson, and SD to Quintin Jackson. Anyone see these fights, he cant be too bad?

I was impressed that both Lawler and Rua had pretty good chins last night. They traded alot of big punches, and kicks for 3 rounds. It seems most MMA fighters get hit by one big punch ,and they are knocked out. These guys could take a punch.

 

I did also, don't see why it was controversial, he won the third by a near domination. His BJJ skills really impressed me as well.

 

Condit is pretty solid all around, welterweight correct? Ninja was only a champ because he won fighting Villasenor, who's a gate keeper level guy, but I was glad he got a win.

Villasenor has experience and skills, just is slow and has bad stamina.

 

I like Diaz's style. He would rather stand and trade, though he looks like he couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag, then go to ground were his lanky body takes over. That other guy was throwing some bombs but half of them only looked good, while Nick was connecting with most of his punches. I still can't believe he knocked out Lawler.

 

Lawler looked damn good. These two wins over Trigg and Ninja have him looking pretty damn good in a division that is pretty weak overall to begin with.

 

The way he was working on the ground was beautiful, even though Aina is not a top class fighter by any means. I love proper BJJ.

 

Lawler looked as good as he ever has, I was pretty happy about it.

 

The same reason Peyton is really good, and Eli really blows.

 

i tell you what i had a blast at the fights, one of the judges is one of my coaches, he runs a jiu jitsu school out here, anywayz all except the charuto fight were exciting, good competition, the ninja ko was cool cause he was taking some shots before that pretty good, like the body kick right hook combo that lawler landed, **** you shoulda heard the ****in smack on that, and ninja just took it, for a second there i thought robbie was in trouble cause he was backing up and fighting like a ***** in the first couple rounds.....

 

I disagreed with both SD's; had both Fukuda and Aina 2-1. The wide 30-27 scoring for Diaz is what made that decision intolerable for me; there is no real argument for giving him the first.
