Am interested to know how many of you on here, are buying UFC 126 PPV this weekend. Considering that there also isn't any big boxing fights this weekend either.
This look like it's gonna be UFC's Supercard of the year.
was it worth fifty? not really but atleast Torres showed how you can dominate with a jab and right cross! Jones is talented and Silva remains at the top, decent fights but ofcourse Griffin vs Franklin was a tired sparring session and if it wasnt for some nice ice cold Beck's i would have snored off. I give UFC a chance every once in awhile, and so far its been a letdown for the money, i wish they would throw a freebie in there sometimes, i would probably watch more often and be a more avid viewer of the sport but shelling out $$$ every damn month just to see tired wrestling is not winning me over. THANK GOD FOR DONAIRE VS MONTIEL NEXT WEEK!!!!
Thats fine I'm just pointing out that the UFC back then is nothing like it is now. And the stand up has gotten a "little" better? You do realize that they can do more than just throw punches right? The stand up has gotten way better to the point that being a good boxer is nowhere near enough to be a good striker in the UFC. The better strikers are usually Mu Thai or champion kickboxers. Marcus Davis was a pro boxer for 10 years and guess what happened? He got Knocked out by a wrestler and got released by the UFC. You need a lot more than good boxing to make it in MMA.
Wtf?
Who said anything about boxers in the ufc? Not me.
If you want to talk about it, diaz was doin pretty good just boxing with cyborg. Yeah i know he tapped him out but he was doin fine just boxing.
I don't have any problem with the ufc i just don't like it. Sorry
Yes, I do realize that.
I was just anserwing the question that was asked.
Damn, are you one of those annoying mma fans?
I would say the stand up is a little better now, but not nothing to get all excited about, mostly they just got guys with better chins.
Everybody here loves mma, I tried to get into again but sorry I couldn't. I went to my friend who has all the Tapout gear and stickers on his car. Was a punch of young kids who seemed like they wanted to fight, talking about they could fight in the UFC. Asked them what they thought about Pac, they didn't know who I was talking about.(this was 5+yrs ago)
Just not my thing. 2 different sports, just cause you like football doesn't mean you'll like rugby.
Calm down.

You do realize that was 15 fuking years ago and Gracie would be eaten alive nowadays because of his inability to fight standing up?

Yeah,such a "heavy handed monster puncher" that an exhausted,doped up Mark Kerr went the distance with him.Fujita was in perfect position to finish him of but couldn't.His punches were so weak and so ineffective - it was pathetic to see.
Just watch the clip and see.Fujita was backed up,was looking away with his eyes closed and just threw that arm punch out of desperation.It was a short right to head and yet it almost knocked Emelianenko.
Thats the thing almost almost almost you know how many people "Almost" beat Fedor? He only fought more top level Heavyweights than anyother active Mixed Martial Artists and hearing how so and so "Almost" beat him has gotten really old over the last 10 years!
And that Mark Kerr fight you forget how much of a fuking ass whooping Fujita took before he turned the tables on Kerr. How convinient that you forgot that little detail!
Ufc is zzz now, the first few were great but it went from style vs style to a bland mixture of martial arts now more it's own style than a "mixture" at all, and when it comes to pure styles nothing Beats boxing IMO
Yeah I like how marcus Davis who was a Pro Boxer for 10 years got knocked out by a fuking wrestler and was released from the UFC just last month LOL!!!
What the fuk are you talking about Fujita was widely known for his power. He was a heavy handed monster puncher and was once the Pride world Champion dummy. He landed the punch behind his ear with 4 ounce gloves and it was fuking flush!

His neck would have been broken had he been dropped on it.He landed on the back of his head - which has nothing to do with having a great chin.There's a difference between recuperative powers and punch resistance.
The Jap landed landed a grazing short right that wasn't even thrown properly.A guy with "one of the greatest chins ever" wouldn't flopping around like a fish.

Seriously you fuking idiots watch half a fight and you think you know what you are talking about.
Saying fujita doesn't have power is like saying Samual Peter is a Marginal Puncher.
And whats this he didn't throw a proper punch? You watch boxing and now you are a fuking trainer that knows about techique? Get the fuk outta here with that stupid bullcrap!
voted no.
I actually ordered UFC when it first came out. Gave me something to watch when USA tuesday night fights wasn't on.
Once Royce Gracie started winning that was it for me. I know mma guys love him but cmon, who wants to see how long you can lay on top of someone? It's not very exciting. I think it was the UFC when he hit Shamrock in the nuts I decided that's enough for me.
The fans can be pretty annoying also.

Well, there's not a lot to watch on TV on certain hours of the day, so once in a while you get to watch past UFC match ups re-shown on S***e TV. There's this guy who seems invincible, Anderson Silva. Unbelievable display of confidence. He always makes his opponents look like amateurs. I might be tempted to order this one, for the first time.
A Flusgh overhand right with power behind right on the temple with 4 oz gloves by a guy with power in Fujita and still didn't drop and held on?
The same guy that got dropped on his neck and was completely unfazed and won the fight 15 seconds later? (every Boxing trainer will tell you your neck is connected to your chin...
The same guy that was getting hit with Cro Cop's Left High Kick which would literally knock a normal man's head off and kos everyone else?

One of the Greatest Chins ever...
You mean the guy that got rocked and flopped around like a fish out of water by the stubby armed Jap has "of the Greatest Chins ever"? Are you serious? What is wrong with you?
i will be watching but im waiting for a 720p cap of it. i never buy ppv's unless i can get a few people to chip in which is pretty much never anymore.
i dont get why so many boxing fan got a problem with it. so what if somebody likes mma. i like boxing and mma but i like boxing more of course. doesnt mean i cant like other combat sports. you can be a true fan to both as well. at least BxFanViento isnt an ass about it even though he doesnt like it. all the ones always saying mma gay or ignorant crap like im not a bender must have homophobic issues. grow up.
i hope Belfort knocks Silva's head off. like both Franklin and Griffin so hoping just to see a good scrap. going for Bader since Jones already said hes won. i dont like that arrogant talk from him.
As a true fan of the sport of boxing,I will not be watching this MMGAY event.I really don't see the fascination in two glass jawed grapplers molesting one another inside of a ring/cage.There is an art to fighting - and swinging wildly with your chin in the air,just hoping to land one haymaker(and that's all it takes to knock one of these fragile guys out) isn't an art in my view.
