What's that supposed to mean?

This show really got me into the UFC, I watched all of season one and I have been getting the ppv stuff recently also.

They also have an 8 fight live event on spike like once a month, not really sure on the schedule but it is called Spike Tv's ultimate fight night. I think Unleashed is going to be moved to another night now that the season 2 is starting, which looks good.

He definetly has a good record, 36-2-3 so he is a good fighter, but anything can happen on this show.

So far these guys pale in comparison to last years guys. 2 friggin quit before they even got in the ring, another already injured his leg...Just...wow...This oughta be an interesting season...

newmexneon

08-23-2005, 09:43 AM

Yeah last nights episode sucked because of the guys that quit. It will be interesting to see the new heavyweight that is being brought in. I kind of felt bad for the guy that hurt his leg, looked like he was gonna start crying.

That guy who had to lose 20 pounds in the sana quit...wuss. After all of that, he couldn't take a little heat. I have some news for him. He'd have to go through much worse in the ring...Come on! I mean middle aged men can do that!...Seinfeld does it. Seinfeld!!!...And only 5 pounds away too...Damn.

Tough to say, he seems inexperienced and only has a record of 4-1 but he is definatley well trained physically and mentally, and he is also quiet and you always have to watch out for the quiet ones.

As far as the Welter weights, I hope Luke wins. Rich Franklin said he is last years Diego Sanchez. I think the new coaches are cool, I was surprised when I seen Rich Franklin.

newmexneon

Rich Franklin is propably one of my favorite fighters, I like watching him and Andre Arlovski.

Savage

08-29-2005, 10:43 PM

Looks like this is gonna be a good fight. Have a feeling Melvin's gonna back up his words though.

EDIT: Aaaand I'm right so far...Although it's becoming very close. But Melvin is missing alot.

Cubs Fan

08-29-2005, 11:15 PM

I think that if Melvin would have let his hands go from the start he would have won. I thought for sure that would be his plan.

newmexneon

08-30-2005, 10:08 AM

He let the pressure of being on tv get to him, I thought for sure that he was gonna start throwin his hands and the fight was gonna be over real quick, but he said it himself, he froze up and got gun shy. It was also easy to see that he needs some wrestling training, he did alright with a couple of his throws but once he was on his back he got kind of lost on what to do.

Cubs Fan

08-30-2005, 11:51 AM

Yeah someone with more experience would have made him tap in the first round.

brainchild81

08-31-2005, 01:45 AM

I think that if Melvin would have let his hands go from the start he would have won. I thought for sure that would be his plan.Yeah he choked. I honestly think he's better than the winner was. He choked up something awful. That joke they played on Dana was pure comedy though:) I'm gonna miss him.

newmexneon

08-31-2005, 09:21 AM

Yeah he had broken his hand in the second round, but I still think he should have won that fight in the first round if he had put some effort into it.

Cubs Fan

08-31-2005, 09:22 AM

wasn't his hand broken?? i got mad respect for melvin though.

Yeah he broke his right hand sometime during the fight, but even before that he wasnt swinging a lot like he should have been.

J-MAN_Begins

08-31-2005, 02:59 PM

but he kept fighting. thats the important thing. Everyone is nervous once they walk in to the ring and in the first round. Especially since the first round the other guy was waiting to get in close quarters. If melvin stood infront of him throwing punches they would have been on the ground the entire fight.

Savage

08-31-2005, 07:36 PM

Melvin should have taken more initiative. Thrown more strikes. Less reaction and more reaction. I mean look at the guy when he's training. Guy's got skills. Then he got in there and he got all timid...I understand why of course but...yeah, after getting your hand broken, that's kind of incentive to stop worrying about the cameras and stop screwin around.

J-MAN_Begins

09-01-2005, 10:02 AM

did you ever break your hand during a fight. i box and i just sprain my wrist during a 4 rounder and i was in horrible pain every time i through my left hand. he broke it!!!!!!!!!!!

Cubs Fan

09-01-2005, 10:34 AM

I dont think any one is saying it doesnt hurt. My point is that before he broke it he should have been throwing it a lot more.

Off topic a bit, but in the third Gatti vs. Ward fight, Gatti broke his right hand early in the fight and after a couple of rounds he started throwing it again. I know its different cause Gatti had boxing gloves, but it was a fight that went the distance.

J-MAN_Begins

09-01-2005, 01:48 PM

yeah many fighter break their hands during fights. true champs finish. thats where i am getting at. he does deserve respect for finishing with a broken hand.

You fail to realize in order to throw a power punch you need to set your feet and plant them, if melvin did that, the other guy would have tied him up.

Cubs Fan

09-01-2005, 03:02 PM

I see what your saying, but it seemed to me like they were on the ground most of the fight anyway. What do you think Melvin should have done?

J-MAN_Begins

09-01-2005, 05:12 PM

after the second round he did have the other guy's number and he was ready to go. melvin still had his legs and 1 hand. later in the fight thats when he shold have capitalized.

Savage

Knee. Martial arts. Kept going and won...Didn't do any kicks obviously but I won. Here he has a broken hand. That's three limbs left as opposed to two if it's a leg problem where you can't support yourself nore can you use it to attack. It's painful as all hell yes(especially the knee...oh GOD especially the knee.:( ) but it can be done. When something like that happens you tell yourself "okay, calm down, it's nothing. Work through it. You were just too careless."...Well that's what I told myself anyway when I landed wrong but getting off subject here. The fact of the matter is I'm watching this fight here and I see so many openings. His defense is tight as hell but then I look at his opponent I'm like "He could have caught him there. Could have caught him there. Could have caught him there." every time this guy throws a fake or a setup combo and doesn't go through.

I'm not ragging on the guy, hell, kudos to him for even continuing the fight with a broken hand. I'm just saying that it was very possible for someone as skilled as him to win...Quick little bugger, that bloke.

Oh, I think he did fine there. Got out of them like he was oiled or something. Really unorthodox moves. I honestly thought he won this one.

newmexneon

09-01-2005, 09:30 PM

He lost because although he was able to get free from the other guy he spent most of the time on his back and was not controlling the fight well enough.

Savage

09-01-2005, 11:16 PM

Yeah, the thing is even when he WAS on his feet, he didn't do too much.

Cubs Fan

09-02-2005, 05:33 PM

I think it was the right choice by the judges, but I do think Melvin is a better fighter. He just didnt have much offense.

I might be influenced by who I want to win, but I am going with Brad winning by TKO.

Wow. Tap out. Triangle choke. Nice.:)

Yeah did not see that coming. I was half right Brad won, but by submission.

So what do you guys think would Rob have won if his shoulder wasnt hurt?

Savage

09-05-2005, 11:15 PM

Oh hell yeah. He had him. Any longer and he woulda tapped.

Cubs Fan

09-06-2005, 09:16 AM

I think so too. Hopefully next fight will be injury free.

Yeah that would be nice, so many of the fighters have injuries i'm wondering if they are going to have to keep bringing in alternates.

I don't think there's even gonna be a final round. Just one survivor. Whoever has the least injuries wins.

I was glad to see that s**t talker get beat last week. He was probably the stronger of the 2, but the other guy had him beat on technique. He could've choked him out at least 2 different times, but failed to do so.

I haven't seen last night's episode but I hear it's good.

I was glad to see Adam Hughes and Rich Franklin take over as coaches, both guys are phenomenal fighters.

Cubs Fan

He just seemed so arrogant. Like the way he was flipping off the treadmill, and when he was doing the pro wrestling thing. I can definitely see why that guy wants to fight him.

0neDisturbedSOB

09-08-2005, 12:41 PM

That new guy needs to go. I completely agree with Jorge that he just doesn't belong....he's WAY too arrogant for never showing anyone his skills.

The guy last night with the torn shoulder was a pussy....all he did was keep complaining about how bad his shoulder hurt, and how he would "try"...you could tell he was scared and knew he was in WAY over his head. Matt Hughes was right when he said he tapped out to a move that could've been easily avoided.

newmexneon

09-08-2005, 02:42 PM

At least he had the balls to step in the ring with a 6'8" 270 pound fighter and still put up a good fight. He fought with everything he had and came up short, and the way his muscle tore and fell down into his bicep was sick, I don't know if you have ever tore a muscle but it hurts like hell, way more than breaking a bone.

brainchild81

09-08-2005, 06:30 PM

Yeah. I think he was really in pain.

Cubs Fan

09-08-2005, 07:12 PM

I think he was too, and he has heart for fighting like that. Still though it seemed like he complained about it a lot.

Cubs Fan

09-13-2005, 09:12 AM

I wanted the Marcus to win but I figured that Joe would beat him on the ground. Wasnt much of a fight. Nothing happened while they were standing. I know that Marcus had to be careful because he didnt want to get taken down, but it happened anyway. And I know that the show is a reality show, but really hate the whole alliance thing.

newmexneon

09-13-2005, 12:05 PM

Yep, last nights fight pretty much went how I expected it to. It was a bad idea for marcus to think he was hot stuff and pick one of the best fighters on the other team especially when he had minimal wrestling experience. I am still anxious to see Luke fight, but I think he will propably sneak thru to one of the last episodes without having to fight.

Oh yeah, and I just want to say that I think Matt Hughes is a prick and I hope his team loses.

Cubs Fan

09-13-2005, 10:16 PM

I want Hughes team to loose too. Not cause I dont like Hughes, but I just like the green team better. I think its funny the way Hughes is giving that guy a hard time.

Cubs Fan

09-20-2005, 09:40 AM

Well I was dead wrong with this last fight. I thought Tom was going to win, but he really didnt do much. The fight wasnt very exciting. Next weeks episode looks pretty good though.

Savage

09-20-2005, 10:07 AM

newmexneon

09-20-2005, 12:36 PM

I don't think the fight was that bad. Rashad was doing a lot more attacking in the clinch than Tom was and It was clear that Tom wasn't in the fight. I am glad that hughes has lost another member because I hate Matt. All I know is if Rashad tries to fight the next guy like he did Tom, he is going to get his ass knocked out. If Tom had been a little more aggresive and taken a few more chances he would have easily knocked Rashad out, especially those last thirty seconds after he hit Rashad with that big elbow.

Cubs Fan

09-21-2005, 09:20 AM

Yeah. Dana actually called it the ****tiest fight he's ever seen. For guys who want this so badly, they sure didn't act like it. When I saw him walk in the ring, I thought he was gonna eliminate both of them.

I think Dana must have been exaggerating. I mean he's seen hundereds of fights, so thats saying a lot. It would have been funny if he would have eliminated them both though.

Cubs Fan

Jason vs. Jorge prefight predictions

I think Jorge is going to win, but I think Jason will give him a good fight.

Cubs Fan

09-26-2005, 10:56 PM

So far I am wrong. IMO Jorge is going to lose if this fight goes to all the way.

Cubs Fan

09-26-2005, 11:09 PM

Great fight, total opposite of the last one. Jason really impressed me. I would like to see his connect percentage from that fight, because a lot of what he threw hit right on target. Unless I am forgetting a fight from last season, this one was the best from both IMO.

Jason Blood

09-27-2005, 07:35 AM

Cubs Fan

09-27-2005, 08:36 AM

You have to give some credit to Jason. He won that fight because of his striking. Jorges knee might have stopped him from moving around, but theres other stuff he could have done to not get hit as much.

Savage

09-27-2005, 09:35 AM

I was so pissed off that Jorge lost to Jason

the only reason it even happened was because of Jorge's knee

I'm really just waiting for Rich Franklin to punch Matt Hughes in the face for being such a ****
Exactly the way I feel. If Jorge was at full health, I'm sure this fight would have been cake for him. Guy looked more distracted with his knee than anything else. Wasn't dodging blows or anything. Just stood there throwin em.

newmexneon

09-27-2005, 11:49 AM

Awesome fight, I was waiting to see a good fight on this season, The first season had a lot of good ones and this season was starting get boring but I am pleased for now. I think Jorge lost because he was outclassed, they said he had come up from 155 to fight on this show and I think that is what hurt his striking, it seemed like he ran out of gas in the end of the 2nd and 3rd round, although he did make a good effort to try and come back at the very end.

Jason Blood

09-27-2005, 02:29 PM

If you do BJJ using your legs for submissions is important

if your knee is hurt as bad as his was, you can't hold on that well

Savage

09-27-2005, 06:23 PM

Exactly.:up: God damn did he put up a good fight though. Any other guy would have just been down and out of there.

GLfan

09-27-2005, 09:20 PM

Maybe Jorge will get a chance to come back the way Leban did last season. It does suck that he lost though, I was rooting for him all the way and it was a hell of a fight.

Good fight tonight. The smaller guy did an awesome kick

Cubs Fan

10-04-2005, 08:10 AM

The best part about that fight was that kick. I have never actually seen a spin kick(dont know what its called) work. I didnt even watch most of the fight. I wanted the other guy to win, but from what I saw he didnt do a lot.

What are those thing they wear around their necks?

Savage

10-04-2005, 09:08 AM

Crrrazy good fight last night. Rarely see a spinning anything connect but that hook kick was...wow. And the roundhouse the tall guy gave to his head that knocked him down was sweet too. This fight was just...off the wall. Best fight so far. Easily. :up:

And those combos were crazy good. Finally, someone who remembers that there are KICKS in the martial arts. They're your longest reach. You'd think that'd be the first thing they go for. But hey, maybe they're not that fast in that department. To me the punches are riskier though. When doing one properly, you kind of lean in and if you miss, and sometimes even when you connect, you better be able to counter quick 'cause your face is wide open.

Cubs Fan

10-04-2005, 10:17 AM

Why dont body punches work as well in the UFC as they do in Boxing? It seems like when the fighters are on the ground one of them is always hitting the others body, but it doesnt seem to do much. But in Boxing body punches seem to usually have a long lasting effect on the boxer. There must be something I'm not thinking of. Can anyone explain this to me?

newmexneon

10-04-2005, 01:16 PM

When you're on the ground you don't have the leverage to throw really hard punches so when they are punching to the body on the ground it is mainly to score points and distract the other fighter. In the last UFC event Nate Quarry knocked a guy out with a punch to the body while they were standing. He hit him right in the gut and the other guy just slumped over and the fight was over.

Cubs Fan

Wow. I thought Mike was gonna be real aggressive, but he was the exact opposite of that. Do you guys think its something that Rashad does in the ring to make the other fighter not be aggressive?

brainchild81

10-17-2005, 11:08 PM

He's good against takedowns. When he does get taken down, he always seems to land in a way that he can easily recover. He's unorthodox also.

newmexneon

10-18-2005, 10:57 AM

Once again Rashad proves himself, and another one of Matt's heavyweights gets cold feet. Maybe Matt is putting to much pressure on his fighter's. They seem to be more worried about not losing and avoiding confrontation rather than doing anything they can to win and being more aggresive. Mike seemed like he was trying way to hard to not get knocked out rather than going in and trading punches.

Cubs Fan

10-18-2005, 12:40 PM

Rahad did look a lot better this fight. I dont think its Matts fault, because all of his welter weights have won(I think).

Is it a welter or a heavy weight coming back next week?

newmexneon

10-18-2005, 02:02 PM

A heavyweight, propably because of the cut Brad recieved in training.

Cubs Fan

10-19-2005, 10:19 AM

Thats what I was thinking too, but they showed the guys legs and it looks like a welter weight. But I dont know if they need another welter weight.

Who would you guys like to see come back?

newmexneon

10-19-2005, 01:35 PM

Dan would be the only guy I would like to see back, out of all the eliminated heavyweights he seemed to be the best overall fighter.

Cubs Fan

10-19-2005, 08:40 PM

I honestly cant remember most of the heavyweights. Was he the one that had the shoulder injury, who fought Brad?

newmexneon

10-19-2005, 10:57 PM

No, Dan was the other really big guy. He fought Seth and lost in a decision, it was the match with the big roundhouse kick that took him to the ground.

Cubs Fan

10-20-2005, 09:08 AM

Yeah I remember him now. I wouldnt mind seeing him come back, but I'd rather see the guy shoulder injury, if its healed up.

I agree, usually it's a guy getting submitted or if they do throw blows it's no more than several before a guy is dropped then he get pummled. Once that happens the ref steps in before the other guy beats the guy into a coma.

Most fights that I have seen are over in the first round or early in the second. Their still a lot of fun to watch. But I will never order a UFC ppv, because chances are most of the fights will be over quick.

Well I have seen just as many that go the distance. I would rather pay for a good UFC match than a good heavyweight boxing match these days.

Cubs Fan

10-24-2005, 08:26 AM

You must have seen more UFC fights then I have. Heavyweight fights can be kind of boring. I know there has been a lot of good heavyweight fights but, sometimes you get the two huge guys that have to rest on each other every 10 seconds. It depends on who is boxing for me. The only heavyweight that I would pay to watch fight right now is Vitali Klitschko.

newmexneon

10-24-2005, 11:48 AM

The last UFC event had the Heavyweight champ defending his title, Arlovski landed one punch and knocked Buentello out 15 seconds into the first round. But you don't just pay for one fight, there are usually 7 or 8 fights on the card and there will be at least one really good fight and that is why I always get the UFC ppv's.

I know that there is a lot of fights on the ppv things. I guess I'm just not a big enough UFC fan to order a ppv, and I am also kind of cheap. Do you know if Forest Griffon won his last ppv fight?

Diego Sanchez, who is from where I live, ABQ, New Mexico, won his first UFC fight and fights again against Nick Diaz on the Season Finale of The Ultimate Fighter. I think Nick is going to kick his ass.

I think I have seen Nick Diaz fight once. I think I'm not sure, but I think he knocked out Robbie Lawler.

Yeah he did knock out Lawler. Great fight tonight, Luke fought Sam and knocked him completley out with a knee in the second round. I think this was the first real knock out of this season. They brought Marcus Davis from the welterweights as an alternate for Jason because of his cuts, so it is either between Joe and Jason or Joe and Marcus.

I was dissapointed because I thought we were going to see two fights, but the fight we saw was probably the best one this season. I think this is the first fight of the season that both fighters got rocked. I really hope Luke wins it, but I dont think any one is going to beat Joe.

I just watched last Monday's episode with Luke VS Sammy and I was floored by the fight. For awhile I thought Luke was in trouble, but he managed to take everything Sammy threw at him (no pun intended). When Sammy went for that body stomp and Luke caught him I was glad because to my knowledge body stomps like that aren't allowed in UFC....it's almost like Sammy was just out to show off.

When Sammy caught Luke with that right, and Luke went down I thought "oh ****", but man Luke NAILED him with his right and as soon as Sammy staggered I knew he was done for. Luke hitting him right in the temple with that knee was brutal...he knocked Sammy COLD.

Probably the best fight so far, both guys were great but Luke is my pick to win. He's an inspiration to nerds everywhere.

Body stomps and Hammer kicks are legal as long as they are to the body.

Last nights fight was pretty good, Rashad won again and had a tough time with Keith. I was surprised with how well Rashad took those heavy right hands from Keith. I thought for sure that Keith was gonna be able to put Rashad away in the second round when he repeatedly landed punches on Rashad even causing Rashad to lose his footing at one point, but Rashad recovered quickly and was able to take it to a decision. I think if Keith had been a little more aggresive after he landed his punches and tried to finish Rashad he would have won.

I was glad to see him admit that he was being an idiot and thank Matt for being a good corner man. He talked A LOT of s**t on Matt Hughes, and I'm pretty sure that's one of the last guys you'd want to piss off.

Joe tried to stand with Jason for about two minutes and then got a cut on the side of his face and decided to take Jason down and after about another minute or so got Jason in an arm bar and forced him to tap.

I can't wait to see the fight between Diego Sanchez and Nick Diaz! I think this could be a very good fight and I hope it lasts more than 30 seconds. I think both of them are really good fighters but I think Sanchez will pull out the victory in the end but I'm hoping Diaz knocks him out!

I think if Joe can take Luke down then he will win. I cant remember how Luke looked on the ground in his other fights, but Joe is pretty good. Both the heavyweights looked good in their last fights, but I think Brad will win.

0neDisturbedSOB

Joe did say "I'm going to try to take it to the ground...I don't want to stand up with that guy".

0neDisturbedSOB

11-07-2005, 05:12 PM

So anyone else think that the decisions in the first 2 matches of the Ultimate Finale were complete bulls**t? I'm sorry but Luke CLEARLY won against Joe, and Brad rocked Rashad the last 2 rounds despite being knocked down by Rashad. The crowd was REALLY behind Luke, and I'm surprised Joe didn't get booed out of the building. He put up a good fight, and I like him, but Luke took everything he had and still came out swinging.

Diego VS Nick was good....man I wanted Diego to knock him out, I can't stand Nick Diaz, all he does is whine about how much money he makes and how Diego makes more. I also thought it was funny when Joe Rogan cut off Diego right in the middle of that "commercial" he was trying to do after the fight.

Cubs Fan

11-08-2005, 09:55 AM

I thought Joe won the fight. I found myself pulling for Luke during the fight. I dont really know in the second fight. It seemed to me that they were both hurt a couple of times. I will have to watch them again. I'm very happy Diego won, and it pissed me off at the end when Diaz said something about Diego not deserving it or something like that. I dont know what the deal was with the "commercial", last time they had all the ultimate fighters in the card every guy thanked their sponsers.

0neDisturbedSOB

11-08-2005, 11:56 AM

Joe did win the fight, I was saying that the judges decision was wrong because it's apparent Luke had him beat in the last 2 rounds.

Nick Diaz is an idiot, I hope someone knocks him out.

I know he won the fight, I was saying that I thought he deserved it. But I am going to have to watch it again and pay closer attention.

Do you know if they are going to have every one else from the show fight? Like they did last season.

0neDisturbedSOB

11-08-2005, 12:11 PM

I'm sure we'll see Luke and Brad in the UFC at some point, at I was hoping that Dana would do a repeat of what he did last year with the Stephan/Forrest match and offer Luke a contract for doing an amazing job as well.

I doubt we'll see all of the people from the show fight, at least not right now. A lot of those guys need to go back and train before they can even think about competing in the UFC.

I'd kill to be able to go see that PPV in Vegas on the 19th.

I think Rashad needs to drop down to the lightheavyweight divison becuase of the new upcoming heavyweights like Tim Sylvia. He has great hands for a wrestler and I think he has a chance to become a star in the UFC. Whether you believe he lost to Brad(It was a pretty close fight so it could of gone both ways), you have to admit he is a pretty damn good fighter.

He's an ok fighter but when he was showboating I became annoyed with him. Any guy that can win 4 fights in a row deserves some credit so I respect him for that, but personality wise he's just not my cup of tea.

The Rashad/Brad fight was a close call, but Luke clearly beat Joe in the first "TUF" fight of the night.

newmexneon

11-21-2005, 05:06 PM

Well they announced the Coaches for Season three at UFC 56 and they will be Ken Shamrock and Tito Ortiz, who hate eachothers guts so you can expect a ton of drama on the next Season.

Rich Franklin and Matt Hughes both won their Title defenses.

Matt beat Joe Riggs by Kimura in the first round.

Rich Franklin knocked out Nate Quarry in the first round and it was a brutal knock out. Rich landed two good punches on Nate which knocked him to the ground and left him stunned. Quarry was able to get back up and Rich came in and landed another real big right hand which knocked Quarry completely unconcsious and clearly broke his nose. Quarry's muscles locked up and everything when he got knocked out, it was pretty sweet.

0neDisturbedSOB

11-21-2005, 05:49 PM

Yeah, I can't believe Quarry actually thought he could beat Franklin. After KO'ing Shamrock Franklin has more than proven himself in the UFC.

I bet Riggs was PISSED with himself that he could drop the 2.5lbs needed to keep that fight as a title match, guess it wouldn't have mattered either way.

Hughes and Franklin are among my favs....Hughes is just a f**king animal, and Franklin is a tough bastard.

Can't wait for TUF 3. I thought the Ortiz/Shamrock fight was bulls**t, and I can't wait to see how they interact together. I also think Ortiz has beef with Dana White too.

I think I went to Highschool with Ortiz, he's older than me but we both went to high school in Huntington Beach, Ca.

That's cool that you went to Tito's school. The one announcement that pissed me off was that there gonna be another Couture/Liddell Fight at UFC 57 which I think is stupid considering they just fought. I wanne see somebody else fight for a change and I think Liddell is gonna knock Randy out just like last time.

Hey, they're 1-1 right now so they need to fight again. And I wouldn't count Couture out, the guy is beast and he beat Liddell once, although Lidell is one scary mother. I think it will be a good fight, but I hope Couture wins. He is the wrestling coach for Centenial high school in Gresham, Oregon which is real close to where I live. I have seen him at tournaments a few times. Pretty sweet I thought.

A funny story, one of my wrestling coaches had his first matches as a freshman in college against Couture during his senior year. Rough.
