Mixed martial arts (MMA)

[quote=Dainou]Anyone else watch this sport or train this? If not, start. Now one of the biggest matches this year is coming up, a rematch with the champion with a 12 win streak and the challenger, the only one that won 4 rounds over the champion before getting submitted. The 7 july, they will finally throw down again after 2 years of trash talking. [embed=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZG0sNDa2JQ][/quote]

[quote=Slappiz]Silva is going to mess Sonnen up so badly :D Edit: Best thread ever made![/quote]

[quote=Dainou]You mad brah, fans said the same and we all saw what happen! In the first match I was cheering for Silva, but I had a huge hole in my stomach during the 4 min of Sonnen beating his ass up and doing everything he said he would, beside winning. Sonnen beside Jon Jones and Rashard, might have the best chance on Silva. Others stay there, let him get ready and SMACK! Still want to see Bisping, Lombard, Stann and Boestch fight Silva. Right know I don't care who win, I like both for difference reason. All I want now is a hell of a fight :D Its just like Edgar vs Henderson all over again for me Beside the main even, UFC 148 seems like a great card. Sure not so famous fighters, but its those cards that turns out to be the best[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]While I really dislike Chael's fighting style... I just really want to see if the first fight was a fluke or if he really has what it takes to fight with Silva. The only kind of fighter that will EVER beat Silva is a wrestler, so I am excited :) I think Silva has all the fight finishing advantages, and Chael can only realistically win by decision.[/quote]

[quote=Slappiz]Say what? No famous fighters :O Ortiz vs. Griffin Cung Le vs. Cote Don Hyan Kim vs. Demian Maia Mendez vs. McKenzie And ofc Melvin Guillard, I hope he wins this time. Can't get much better imo.. Well Silva didn't look 100% in the last fight against Sonnen imo, and Sonnen was kinda lackluster against Bisping. I think Silva is going to win in the 1st or 2nd round this time.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]I'm just pumped up to see who's talk gets backed up :D[/quote]

[/quote] I find Chael exiting, down to the fact the talk the talk and walk the walk. He goes in, goes at you from first second to last. Well the only fighters that have beat Anderson, are by 2 submission and 1 decision. Wrestler so far have gotten submitted, Dan Henderson, Lutter and Chael Sonnen, but bjj guys never manage to get him down. I think bjj guy that get it to the ground will beat him or a wrestler with better bjj to survive while on the ground. Yeah Silva got a iron chin, so for Sonnen its decision or a submission that is his chance. [quote=Slappiz] Say what?

[/quote] Okay bad choice of word, famous, but not top dog and most likely over looked. Ortiz being far form the top, Griffin like wise. Cung Lee, even though I'm a fan, isn't on a role lately and Cote is forgotten sense long ago. Stun gun had his roll until he ran into Condit's knee, still a fan and like to see him fight. Demian Maia will be interesting to see in welterweight. Mendez ah well..he fought Jose Aldo, still pretty unknown and my self I cant seems to like him. McKenzie is a wild man, probably going to be very skinny. Then Melvin, gets on a roll, gets stopped and start over, still fun to watch. Not being famous is a bad word, but I think most will overlook this card until they see it, as most likely its not so appealing to the masses. Now that you listed it, it could very likely be a free card, but those are generally really good. I'm pumped for either fight anyway, even the facebook one, Yoislandy Izquierdo looked really good against Reza Madadi until the submission. Damn the globe was screaming when that happen.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Yeah but none of the wrestlers who fought Anderson fought him the right way. Chael fought him the right way, but we'll see if the way the fight went was a result of Chael doing something right, or if Anderson wasn't fighting like he usually does. It wouldn't be the first time Anderson had a lackluster performance.[/quote]

[quote=Slappiz]I think it's a top notch fight card. Entertaining fighters, I expect a magical event :P The only one I would imagine be able to beat Silva in middleweight is Lombard, 1 punch and it's over if he connects and his take downs are outstanding. Fuck yeah, UFC Sweden was fucking epic! Had ear noise for about a week because of the crowd :P haha[/quote]
