This Weekend In Europe ft. Emelianenko/Prof X

Ah so just some of the stuff you say is rubbish? Aleks didnt quite have the leverage but he looked to be near to getting it and the ease with which he got wrist control makes it seem pretty likely to be a finish wouldnt have been fair away.

Graham won fair and squarte under the rules, it wasnt just one "lucky" kick either but a number of them that likely led to the injury. That said this isnt really much of a reflection on his or Aleks abilties as an MMA fighter because these rules werent MMA.

 

Who inflicted injury and targeted the injury? Graham.

It wasn't hard to drop the guy - he kept dropping himself.

Alek's was winning points Beebs but any striker knew if Graham kept it together he was gonna **** that leg up more and he did. Alek's could not even check!

When a man lays on his back and gives up and hobbles out of the ring he got beat undisputedly.

 

Rubbish? This from someone whose second part of the post repeats what I have stated. atsch

Your post has "didn't quite" and "likely" in the first paragraph which means its your opinion. Focus on what did happen. If Alek's cannot secure wrist control on an unskilled ground fighter in the rules he wanted then that is his tough luck. You think Graham went to Russia and told the promoters what rules HE wanted.

Being beaten by a well past prime Graham under his tailor made rules must hurt.

 

the rules were not kick boxing either. this match was closer to mma than kick boxing.

aleks lost. stop making excuses.

edit. to be technical about it they were mma rules (these rules cant be described as anything other than mixed martial art rules about a third of the fight was spent on the ground after all) aleks lost to a guy with very little ground skills he should have won easily but he was beaten. remember alex should know how to defend low kicks he didnt defend them and he lost.

 

Aleks was winning all aspects of the fight, then he got injured, which I agree was Grahams doing, but any real positives for Graham came after the injury.

So yes he won what was basically a kickboxing match after losing the first round and injuring the opponent in the second.

In a full MMA fight, it doesn't get out of the first.

 

Alex wasn't winning the kicks so he wasn't winning all aspects of the fight. Considering he dropped like he was shot that Graham would be well satisfied with that result - did not see Peter drop every time he was hit.:deal

You overlooked that sweet full mount and GNP that Graham layed on. Did it with ease for a guy that doesn't train MMA - shows how far Alek's has dropped that he allows himself to be mounted and pounded.

In a full MMA fight Alek should not even be choosing to fight K-1 fighters - he should be choosing MMA fighters.

 

He got the full mount once Aleks got to the point he couldn't stand.

Graham did a nice job in taking out the knee, but it's not like he was beating a game fighter after that.

Again, it was a good job, but it was not "easy work" it was surviving long enough for the injury to become too bad to continue.

I imagine they asked Graham to fight Aleks, Graham wanted the rules, and Aleks said it was fine. Graham has fought 9 MMA fights.

 

Graham just threw an ordinary kick that took out that knee - I struggle to think of an Australian HW who would have given up like that. Slowinski, Carnage, Hoopman, McKinnon, Meunier and other Aussie HW that go around the Aussie HW circuit would laugh at dropping like that.

I have no idea why anyone is trying to pump up Alek's tires - that was a pathetic display and anyway prime HW MMA or Thai fighter will **** him.

 

here is a sample of the MMA media's view;

Aleksander Emelianenko was back in action

in Khabarovsk, Russia, where he faced Australian K-1/Sengoku vet Peter Graham in the main event of Draka: Governor’s Cup 2010. Despite Graham’s decorated kickboxing background, he came into the fight with an underwhelming

, Rolles Gracie, and Jim York (all by first-round choke).
But this was no ordinary MMA match — special rules were in place so that fighters would be stood up after just 30 seconds. Not that it would matter to Aleks, who hasn’t needed much more than his fists lately. In fact, The Other Emelianenko had finished all of his previous eight opponents in the first round. True, most of those opponents were no-name punching bags who looked like they didn’t belong in the ring with him, and his April win against Eddy Bengtsson was one of the dive-iest dives in diving history. Would Graham be another conquest on Alek’s can-crushing streak? As the headline of this post should have already informed you, no, not at all.
Graham lands his first nasty leg kick at the 2:17 mark; pay attention, that’ll become important later. Aleks starts to pour it on, with a series of hockey-punch-style uppercuts before scoring a takedown. He works for an armlock but gives it up, and those special rules are utilized for the first time. The Aussie lands another leg kick at 4:10, and you can tell that Aleks isn’t happy about it. Graham slips while throwing another leg kick and Emelianenko jumps on to end the fight with a leg lock. But again, those special goddamned rules. At 5:36, Graham straight-up drops Aleks with a leg kick, but the Russian is saved by the bell. Two of his cornermen need to carry him to his stool.
And yet the fight goes on, with Aleks in obvious agony. Graham knows what to do here. They box until Graham lands a leg kick that crumples Aleks. The ref orders him up, and he can barely comply. One more shot to the leg, and Emelianenko is on his ass again. Graham spends 30 seconds punching him on the ground. The process repeats all over again: A creaky standup, a leg kick knockdown, and some GnP from Graham. Finally, Aleks says “no mas.”
As his brother Fedor once said, “the one who doesn’t fall doesn’t stand up.” And so, Aleksander is scheduled to return in February against 1-1 German heavyweight Chris Mahle, who could be the first victim in a brand new can-crushing streak for the Grim Reaper, assuming that his knee isn’t completely effed-up. But even with those totally legit Italian lab documents clearing Aleks of hepatitis, we don’t expect to see him fight a notable opponent any time soon.



:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

he deliberately destroyed the mans leg and then you dont give him credit for what he does after that?

wasn't easy but it was a destruction of someone who should have won easily considering Grahams lack of ground fighting ability. as you know beebs striking and the ground is supposed to be aleks strength it really did not look like it in this match.

Graham has fought 9 MMA fights and lost most of them by submission has never beaten someone who wasnt a can(until Aleks). Graham came into this fight with a 3-5 record all losses by submission.

get serious beebs :rasta

Graham is a kickboxer that fights in mma, Aleks should have won this fight.

 

I really don't know what the argument is. I'm simply saying it was not "easy work" for Graham. If you watch the fight, it's hard to argue that.

You can watch the whole fight on youtube.
