Silva losing was a suprise. He should stick to guys his own size, I guess. The moving up in weight thing doesn't sound like a good idea. Can't wait till this Sunday to see it myself. realkaps 12-31-2004, 09:50 AM He was rocked a couple times, he didnt want no part of the stand up with Hunt.... Nuno 12-31-2004, 09:51 AM So kaps, are you happy Silva finally lost? In a way I am. It ought to motivate him to come back stronger. Although, he better stick to being a LHW. I feel bad for Nog, because there seems to be nothing he can do about Fedor. Fedor is a monster! I really want to see the Gomi x Pulver fight!!! Nuno 12-31-2004, 09:53 AM He was rocked a couple times, he didnt want no part of the stand up with Hunt.... Can't blame him either. Hunt's has alot of power. I'm glad Hunt won though. He has alot of potential. He and CroCop will be challenging Fedor someday in the future I'm sure. I can't wait for those fights. realkaps 12-31-2004, 09:54 AM I picked Silva to win by decision, but yeah, I am a little happy he lost, it'd be better if he got koed. Hunt has really worked on his ground game. Im lookin for pics right now.... Nuno 12-31-2004, 09:54 AM Now excuse me while I go kick myself for looking at the spoilers! Nuno 12-31-2004, 10:01 AM I picked Silva to win by decision, but yeah, I am a little happy he lost, it'd be better if he got koed. Hunt has really worked on his ground game. Im lookin for pics right now.... Everyone eventually loses. When I read the weight difference, I was like, Dayum! I had a feeling he would lose, cause I knew he could not beat Hunt standing. I really doubted he could submit him, too. Prince 12-31-2004, 10:31 AM Mirko "CroCop" Flipovic defeats Kevin Randleman by Guillotine Choke Round 1. that is probably the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard in my life that makes me extremely angry Fallout 12-31-2004, 11:57 AM I have gathered a few things. 1. Gomi is badass 2. Anderson Silva can't defend submissions against small japanese men 3. Gardner sounds like he trained his ass off. I guess working with Team Quest was the right choice. He sounded like he looked great 4. It sounded to me like Silva should of won. Hunt rocked Silva a couple times, Silva got lots of takedowns and guard passes and Hunt only escape because he was damn near 300 lbs. With the size difference rule, I am surprised Silva didn't win. Props to Hunt though, he sounds like he fought great. 5. Mirko, mad submission skills. 6. Fedor is just too powerful for Nogueira to submit. Fedor is good standing, good from his back and we all know what he does when he is on top. The only people that even have a CHANCE against Fedor seem to be Mirko and Syliva, because they MIGHT land a bomb, ala Fujita. I doubt it though, Fedor is number 1. I can't wait to see some of these fights. Espically Silva vs Hunt and Nogueria vs Fedor. Tanner Rhoden 12-31-2004, 05:25 PM Hunt v.s.

He proved it once again against The Punk. Choi Mu Bae vs. Giant Silva -- They need to give Choi some better competition. Maybe then we'll get a better idea of how good he is. IMO, I think he probably could've finished the fight quicker. Ryan Gracie vs. Yoji Anjo -- Pudgy Ryan should've been DQ'ed after swinging at the ref. Please feed this guy to any of the top 10 Pride middleweights. I'm tired of seeing him against b-level Japanese fighters. Ryo Chonan vs. Anderson Silva -- Chonan basically neutralized everything Silva threw at him. Silva had somewhat of a shot at a rear naked choke, but after that it was all Chonan. That last sub has to rank up there with Sato's flying armbar. Makoto Takimoto vs, Henry "Sentoryu" Miller -- Blacked out. Glad to see I didn't see this one. Rulon Gardner vs. Yoshida -- I don't think anybody in the heavyweight division will be able to take Gardner down. He's got a super quick sprawl and tremendous upper body strength. He'll have serious problems against strikers, though. Mirko "CroCop" Flipovic vs. Kevin Randleman -- Disappointed to see that this one didn't go longer. I think a third fight is in order. Dan Henderson vs. Yuki Kondo -- Decision Dan needed that last takedown in the final minute to pull out the victory. Otherwise, Yuki Kondo might have did enough to win. I've never seen Dan full mounted twice before in a fight. I guess he really was sick. Takanari Gomi vs. Jens Pulver -- Wow. Awesome technical stand-up war. I knew Pulver could box, but Gomi showed some serious stand-up skills. He was crisp, quick and simply too strong for Pulver. I think Pulver hit Gomi clean more than twice, and nothing happened. He just walked right through him. Mark Hunt vs. Vanderlei Silva -- Silva tried to trade with Hunt and paid for it. Silva did get the takedowns in round three. But when he did, he didn't do jack **** to Hunt. I think he was still feeling the effects of that right hand Hunt landed in round two. And Hunt's "atomic butt stomp" was ****ing classic. Emilianenko Fedor vs. Antonio Noguera -- Nog just can't beat Fedor. Simple as that. |
