So bummed about this fight when i heard that the reem was gunna fight JDS my two favourite heavy weights a striking dream my erection could not be contained but then i heard that reem was injured and hunt would take his place it was like gay porn for my erection and it died immediately.

I watched hunts last fight and he isn't on the same level as guys like reem, jds and velsquez he is just some fat cunt that swings for the hills and got lucky.

If you genuinely believe it's simply 'swinging for the hills' you're a giant retard

>fighter skilled enough to consistently land looping punches that knocks people out
>stupid spectator doesn't understand anything
>calls fighter fat cunt

>>51332
Mark Hunt has seriously good striking. You're retarded.

>>51334
I have to agree, I'm actually more exited to see how JDS fares against Hunt, one of thems having a comeback.

>>50655
Great fight, I hadn't seen than one.

>>47291
If I had to pick one it would be Sakuraba vs. Carlos Newton from Pride 5 (I think it was) There was almost no blows thrown during the fight, it was a very technical, very exciting submission match.

Penne/Waterson from last weekend was pretty awesome.

>>51193
Oh god the /MMA/ spambots are getting more clever!!

fabricio werdum x fedor fucksyourfaceup, very shocking victory, brought one back home for team tap out

Bonner/Griffin fight for the Ultimate fighter finale. Dudes went at it.

He should have known better.
Its not like he meant to be offensive, but fuck, what was he especting? DW to retweet him?

They suspended Nate in order to make the fighters weak. To make them submissive rather than strong so they stand up for themselves and other fighters.

The NBA does this all the time when players speak out about cheating and what not. They do this so the players won't rise up and take over the league.

>>51337
ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWA

>>51337

to be fair, this is nothing close to the nba's situation... the nba players have a union, and they're dealing with dozens of billionaires, not a couple of them

The Diaz brothers are brown water trash. This further proves that point. Fuck them. Their mouths are bigger than their talent.

Got off work just in time to catch Jacare and Belfort.

Dos/Dunham worth finding/watching? It was the only other match up on the card that really interested me.

>>51322

Meh.

Watch Yurialcantara instead

Who needs the fucking powerball when you have Vitor Belfort. I'm rich!

SPINNING FUCKING BACK HEEL KICK TO THE HEAD WHAT A FUCKING KNOCK OUT

THIS CUNT IS LEGIT

YOU WATCH HIS EARLY FIGHTS AND HE IS JUST FAST HEAVY HANDS NOW HE HAS MORPHED INTO THIS SUPER FIGHTER WHO KNOCKS PEOPLE OUT WHO ARE TALLER THAN HIM WITH HEEL KICKS

WHAT THE FLYING FUCK IS GOING ON HOW CAN A BIG MUSCULAR CUNT LIKE VITOR GET MORE FLEXIBLE OVER TIME

MIND FUCKING BLOWN

Yeah Vitor is fucking sick. He's always had that LION RUSH but if his kicks are this level then seriously what the FUCK? Who is going to take this nigga out? I'd love to see him get another shot at JBJ, this time without a broken hand. He did have that last fight, right?

>I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND SHE'S IN THAILAND YOU'VE NEVER MET HER

You are going to need more than a smoothie to beat a guy with ROCK HARD BICEPS, you might need... two smoothies.

You don't need to be more athletic, man. You need SKILL.

If you're not going to get professional training, at least find someone to spar with.

>>51309
Yea I am going to get a sparing partner at some point, at the moment I have already started body conditioning which consists of punching into ice water, punching a newspaper hailed up on the wall and hitting parts of my body such as my shins, inner torso, feet, arms and chest with a bamboo stick. I am now learning kick and punch combos along with stances and stretching, all in good time.

By the way @Josh I really have no fucking clue what you are on about. I live in Thailand and just dropped her off at work :/

Are you planning on fighting your friend or are you both planning on fighting separate thai fights?

Whatever the case is just go to a muay-thai gym. you're in thailand, man. there's no excuse for punching newspaper against a wall.

>>51329
I am fighting my friend, it was a proposition we made last week. I may go to the gym, but toughening up your fists via punching paper on a wall or ice water is better thana punchbag, however a punchbag helps with agility and technique. I can do that also outside of a gym. This morning I did some training on the beach and wow is it harder to train on sand, my muscles are aching so much. Wushu and Kung Fu techniques with mondern punching combos. I am dead, just eaten my post workout meal.

point taken

Ah, my Krav class teaches for long arm(rifle, shotgun, anything with a stock and a fore grip/pistol grip) melee combat, stick and knife fighting as well, I think it took some stuff from Eskrima tbh.
Anyway, thanks, I will be going to see how the Eskrima is at the place because of the dedicated knife fighting.

>Most other martial arts focus on fitness, tournaments, self development and VERY lastly realistic self defense or combat.

Quick point, do you know much about Kra Maga?
it's literally meant to be for self defence first (mindset and technique), and has no sports application.

Okay, fucked up last post, it DOES have a sports aspect to it, but that's only for sparring, ends up like most martial arts that focus on striking, kick boxing. aha
Anyway, this is the type of shit Krav should prepare you for as a civilian.

Also, is Eskrima one of the oriental arts that's been... well, watered down?
I mean, will I have to watch out for a mcdojo style teacher at all?

>>51250
f a chinaman stepped off the bridge leading DIRECTLY to the shaolin temple, you should still be warry of him

To trust a teacher blindly is to say "This idea is impenatrable, as perfect as the person who told it to me is"

>>51250
I was just speaking about other MA's, not necessarily krav.

>>51249
Not really, some may be out there. It is held in high regard as a very realistic in both use and training (hard sparing).
It is more a badass marital art that MMA types love. Be aware it is new and not as popular.

A lot of schools are from Dan Inosanto or his students, students, students. Watch out for Pekiti Tirsia Kali, or Sayoc Kali, they focus on blade/knife 99% of the time.

They work hand to hand, hand to knife, knife to knife, grappling with knife / stick, 1vs.1 1vs.3 and so much more. It's a complete system.

>>51317
Do you guys get to use those badass shock knifes?

Yeah, troll post. I was expecting more rage, but as it turns out, you all seem quite civil and helpful here.

>>51275
Talking martial arts is like my favorite thing to do when I'm high. Besides, the only troll who can really get me going anymore is Chael Sonnen.

Catch wrestling - The sport of tough motherfuckers and proven BJJ destroyer. None of that guard shit, just all out offense breaking bones and cranking necks.

Not this thread again.....

>Really depends.

Good luck with that, Nick.

Nick is a massive dick head but he has a point about how dream and pride rules were better than UFC rules so if he can change up how his promotion does regulations I would watch.

unfortunately, the man's a high school drop out delinquent that just knows how to fight so hopefully he has someone that has their shit together.

>>51279
Like Nate Diaz

He didn't show up on his own press conference for this new project of his.

He was a fun guy until the Condit fight, after that he just started bitching. And he is giving weed users a bad rep.

>>51283

Spot on, bro.
Why couldn't he just go away with dignity???

I'll use this thread to say that I heard that Sonnen offered to fight JDS if Hunt can't make it.

Gotta love this guy, not a single fuck was given.

>>51229
lol couldn't agree more: Quite frankly, Chael is a fucking stud. One could say "oh he's just trying to take as big fights as possible to make the most money or get the most fame" or whatever, but he's also fucking throwing himself at these absolute killer which most people (many fighters even) want nothing to do with.

Kinda bored with Chael's deadline act thing now. I think it's cool Silva's paying no attention. This is a co-main event fight at best.

But he's got serious balls, I can respect that.

>>51173

Battle of the has been, Or is that battle of the second tier gatekeepers

Here we fucking go bitches

>>50736
I agree.

Also if you get punched in the jaw and headbutt the canvas don't be shocked if the ref stops the fight.

>>50736>>50742
but you can clearly see he knows where he is, and just turned on his back and was like thinking '' did I really need this'' since he was controlling the fight all along.

Its not like he was asleep or out of control with his movement.

Rickles is a good guy, I really like him, but now he showed he can be dominated, oh well.

>>50745
He should've known he was on the ground for a little too long. I remember thinking, get your ass up before they stop the fight.

Season ends tonight.

Great Card.

Pat Curran vs. Shahbulat 'Assassin' Shamhalaev
Brett 'Fudoshin' Cooper vs. Doug 'The Rhino' Marshall
Rick 'Genghis' Hawn vs Karo 'The Heat' Parisyan
Lyman 'Cyborg' Good vs Dante Rivera

Haven't watched the last couple of weeks, but after a good IMpact, I thought I'd give it a go again.

>>49224
I'm so pissed about that. I was expecting Leben to come back and pound a dude's face, but that performance was so shitty I'm STILL raging about it.

I mad.

JDS was looking just fine before he got hit with that shot.
His movement was good, and I was surprised (or maybe not) that Rogan was on his ass about him 'running'. He stuffed or got out of several takedown attempts. I thought that he was just going to keep doing that to wear Cain out. He wasn't expending a bunch of energy, and I thought he was just going to ramp up the boxing and KO Cain.

Then came the shot that changed that fucking plan. After that, Cain was able to catch him and it was pretty much over. Miller/Lauzon saved the whole thing though, what a fucking fight. 155 lb rules @ UFC 155 I guess.

This is relevant to this thread.

>>49233
People keep saying he gassed. Nevermind that he made it to the fifth round. Once Cain got him, and kept taking him down, JDS exhausted all of his energy getting back up again. He should've stayed on his back, staying calm and controlled, using some of his jiu jitsu. His corner wasn't any help either. Use your jab then uppercut him. How about telling him to keep moving away from the fence. Fucking run if you have to run. Do it Condit style.

Whatever, though, Cain was a monster.

I thought JDS would KO Cain again. God damn.

But yeah, the bottom line is this:

>Whatever, though, Cain was a monster.
