but he sure doesn't like the camera...very shy at times.
Unlike your avatar ...... :biggrin: hopefully you:clue: didnt get a call to move them :eek: out of the road.


Going for the underdog Rampage !!!!!! I just want to see something more than big ol' punches coming from round the outside' round the outside'. I'd like to see Chuck go for some take downs himself.

Rampage decked Liddell. The counter hook put Liddell to the floor but it was one of the punches on the ground which put him out.

Good fight. Karo Parisyan was a better one.

I was waiting to see it and Sports Center had it on last night! Wow, UFC on Sports Center, that speaks volumes for how well it fared compared to boxing title fights.

I still want to see the fight. I also am looking forward to Karo's fight as well.

From the highlights, there will be an ugly rematch. If Chuck gets beat again, I don't see anyone else beating Jackson at 205 anytime soon.

yesterday was a monumental day for MMA...first time it's been covered on sportscenter (mainstream)...it was also weird seeing the post-fight stats...they even talked about it on around the horn too...

at least all the uneducated people in America that think MMA is just a bunch of babboons beating each other to a bloody pulp will catch a clue and understand the skill and intelligence it takes to be a top contender in this sport...hopefully...I think I'm giving too many people the benefit of the doubt...

btw...there will be a rematch...and Liddell will get his azz beat again...I think the Hendo/Jackson fight will be sick...but there were previous rumors it was going to be Shogun...that probably would have been sicker...

WAR RAMPAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAR DIAZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAR COUTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MMA is now bona-fide. And while i was a little suprised to see the mainstream coverage, i wasn't overly so. The absolute failure of Boxing to provide any worthwhile matches, Hockey's failure to provide a worthy product, and Basketball and Baseball being mediocre the timing is perfect for MMA to fill the void.

It's around to stay.

I like Jackson as champ. His maniacal posturing won't be make him as popular in the States as it did in Japan but he speaks frankly and he is well connected in the MMA community. I liked when Hendo got in the ring and made a comment to the effect of "these guys are all my friends... it's time for us to go at each other and make some money with our friends".

Karo's judo is sick slick. That fight was good cause Burkman is such a gamer too.

Dana White/others have been working on getting the sport more main stream and having the fighters seen as skilled athletes for 6 years or more....this includes getting some of the sports media to see it this way...

Don't insult the mods on here, you'll find ya'self banned right quick.

hey, if the shoe fits :brows: ...and I find that getting banned on here is quite hard...

what's funny is that the American fans are too uneducated to know better than to boo Hendo and Jackson...they'll soon come to see that Pride had most of the best fighters in all weight classes...I'd say 90% of those people in the crowd booing didn't even have a clue who Hendo was...nor Jackson before he moved over to the UFC...

Hendo's a class act...the Karo fight was good...that new guy Houston Alexander is hardcore...funny he knocked Jardine out, cuz Jardine was talking crap about how he didn't think he should have to fight some no name guy like Houston...he deserved that KO...

Random thoughts:

1) Karo should fight whoever wins GSP-Koz for a crack at whoever has the belt after Seera-Hughes. War f***ing Karo.

2) Hendo/Little Nog/Shogun coming to the UFC should make for some crazy LHW matches.

3) Jardine got a full fifteen minute beating crammed into 57 seconds or whatever. Damn.

4) I was up in Knoxville riding Windrock this weekend and caught the fight at a sports bar next to the hotel (I usually watch the PPVs with co-workers who are also into MMA). It's funny how clueless most folks are - a couple of times guys would be within an inch of getting a sub and the crowd was quiet but when somebody did a wrestling 101 takedown, the place would go nuts.

Like Frank Drebin says, "All I know is, never bet on the white guy."

right....



Good fight though. Quick, but good. It realy could have gone either way, as both Liddell and Jackson are at the top of the game and have KO power + accuracy, but it is cool with Rampage at the top as we'll get some more interesting title shots / matches.

+ this also means a Liddell vs Silva.

Agreed... as much of a GSP worshipper as I am, I really don't think the winner should get the title shot.... I think they both need to go through one more SOLID opponent before they get their (next- in the case of that handsome frenchman) shot. Karo is just the guy.

Word. I don't like quickie title rematches like Hughes got. I'm glad to see FRanklin have to face Okami before potentially getting back in the cage with Anderson, too.

I bet Rich is also happy about that considering the ass whooping he got last time :D

After watching all the fights over again yesterday, I was still impressed by Karo's talent. I think that he has come a long way and has a lot more skills than he is given credit for.

Rampage is an absolute animal, as soon as I saw him come out with that chain and he started howling at the moon all I could think is its not looking good for Chuck. I've only been into watching the UFC and other mma for about a year but I've got to say I really like it.

He's a bad mofo but search out rampage v. Wanderlei Silva on Youtube. One of the worst beatings I've ever seen.

I just watched that one.
It was like watching paint dry until the ref made them stand up.
Do you guys honestly like all to watch all that ground stuff? Its constant dry humping and leg locking.
On pay per view that makes for expensive porn.
When they are standing and punching, kicking and kneeing its exciting as hell though.

Have you watched Chuck Norris Presents ? World Combat League? It's bad ass. The fighters aren't as good and I wish they used lighter gloves, but the idea is kick ass. 4 minute round, nothing on the ground, no clinches, lose points for avoiding contact and stalling. It is a team event with one round for each weight class per half. So you swing for 4 minutes, then have about a 45 minute rest before you fight again.

I'm not a huge fan of the guys that take guard and just hold out (worse are the guys that stay down and try to just kick you from there). But when you see guys who work at getting position or real ground and pound, it's cool.

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought it was about a court case.

Like Miranda Vs. Arizona
or Plessy VS. Ferguson
or Matt Vs. Ohio
or Brown Vs. Board of EDU

I spend too much time on my homework...
