Sad he tested positive... but I mean as much as he has tested clean, one look at that time line of his transformation I feel is evidence enough of him using something.

But anyways, I'm hyped about UFC 145.

Cerk · 04-05-2012, 04:26 PM

Yeah what a shocker, eh?

Vcook · 04-06-2012, 11:05 PM

that knee barely tagged Larsen, he acted like he was a real warrior for toughing it out. Then he acted confused that he lost? The first round was a wash because Chiesa won it but got a point deducted so 9-9, then Chiesa won the second round so it's an easy 19-18 victory. Not sure how else you'd score that. I was surprised that Larsen had decent scrambling and take down defense but he got beat.

Vcook · 04-06-2012, 11:07 PM

Looking forward to next week to see if Tickle is a big of a wuss as he seems.

Kruz · 04-07-2012, 06:04 PM

The skinny/hairy guy is waaay overrated.

Vcook · 04-07-2012, 08:07 PM

yeah neckbeard didn't look that good. No standup per se, and his takedowns were meh, his ground control needs a lot of work too.

Kruz · 04-23-2012, 01:16 PM

Frank Mir to fight Junior Dos Santos? How does the champ Overeem get booted when his hearing is this week?

Anyone catch UFC 145? Spoilers!!!!!

Pretty mediocre main event..."Suga's" game plan of standing in Jones' striking sweetspot and taking a beating didnt work so well with a 10" reach disadvantage. He did land a handful of stunners but never charged forward.

Oh well....back to the bottom of the heap.

Is Hendo really next? He better be able to take him down quickly or its going to be a short fight.

And what's with the TUF: Brazil going on simultaneously with TUF: Live but not airing until maybe June?

dub shih · 04-24-2012, 09:20 AM

Yea, Dana announced that he will be fighting Jones for the title.

Hendo has the x factor... the H-Bomb... everyone knows his signature inside overhand right... yet he always hits with it cause it's so fast. On top of that he has a granite chin and skin that never gets cut.

I think this will be a good fight.

You can watch TUF Brasil on the UFC website... it's also posted on mma-core.com sometimes.

Cerk · 04-24-2012, 12:18 PM

The most interesting thing for me with the Hendo fight is that he's known for fighting bigger guys...it's not something that intimidates him. Shit some of his Pride match ups were just ridiculous!

I think Jones has half of these guys beat before the bell rings...they just stand in front of him and let him dictate pace, range...everything.

Rory McDonald...

Kruz · 04-24-2012, 01:14 PM

JBJ's weakness has to be those tiny little toothpick calves. Why cant someone just kick the crap out of them and snap one?

Kruz · 04-24-2012, 01:16 PM

Looking forward to the free UFC on Fox come May 5th...

Pretty good card. Not huge names but the matchups are solid and could bring some good action.

Ive been watching one of my gyms fighters prep for his UFC fight...crazy what goes into fight camps.

cause they get elbowed in the face as soon as they're within kicking distance?

Vcook · 04-27-2012, 08:17 AM

his body shape is seriously imbalanced, those legs look my 4 year old daughter's.

dub shih · 04-27-2012, 08:24 AM

Those toothpick legs can kill though.

Kruz · 04-27-2012, 09:19 AM

Hands up!

Cerk · 04-27-2012, 09:26 AM

Similar build to Anderson Silva.

Chicago Performance · 04-27-2012, 09:51 AM

Jon Bon Jovi is fighting MMA now? Man I'm out of the loop.

Vcook · 04-28-2012, 12:28 PM

It's hard not to like Cruz. "I got the belt", as he drives off with Rhonda Rousey in the front seat of his Skyline GTR.

Cerk · 04-28-2012, 02:13 PM

Rousey in that house was frickin' hilarious

Vcook · 04-28-2012, 02:39 PM

All the dudes were afraid to be by her, bunch of sissies. She was clearly so disappointed that the first dude that hit on her would have had a solid chance of scoring.

Cerk · 04-28-2012, 04:59 PM

Agreed. No one walks (in heels) in to a house full of hard up dudes like that NOT trying to get some.

There are others who have come to train ground work at our gym, but they are not necessarily members. Kruetz, the old center from the Bears does a lot of training to. His a big mofo.

Kruz · 04-29-2012, 11:27 AM

I wonder how different they would have acted it they were told ahead of time that she was coming over?

Finally watched that episode. The GTR and Rousey were best part of the show. The fight was OK. Little Mark Coleman dude was tough and took some solid shots to his head like that kick.

Rhonda threw the fuck outbid those dudes. Getting launched sucks. Lol

Vcook · 05-11-2012, 11:19 PM

Chiesa looked a lot better tonight, but mostly because Lawrence was too stupid to keep it standing. Dude was dumb enough to take it to the ground where despite the fact that he was on top for a lot of it he still took a serious beating, he seemed to be trying to get caught in a triangle or a kimura.

Kruz · 05-12-2012, 08:42 AM

Yeh he did but still a far weaker striker. his gas tank was empty in round two.

Not sure if that third round reversal was more skillful or just Lawrence not having a clue on the ground, but it sealed the turnaround.

Vcook · 05-12-2012, 09:18 AM

the reversal was a result of Lawrence not having a good ground game. I mean he seemed to be TRYING to stick his head in a triangle.

Cerk · 05-13-2012, 09:32 PM

...despite the fact that Cruz lost his voice screaming STAND UP! for 3 rounds.
