Dana White needs to STFU

[Kakutogi-Gumi]

At least two guys went out on the mat to put it all out on the line to see who the better man was. Jackson was the better man that night. He was crisp, fresh and clean. He got the job done by a right hook followed by stabbing blows from the side guard. He used boxing and Sambo to procure the win and the belt.

Now, you'll probably ignore this or even call me a propogandist. All I'm trying to say is that for someone with a hand striking perspective, the fight looked weak. But from someone who understands a little bit about the respective Martial Arts used in that fight, it was an airtight gameplan.

So it wasn't as disappointing as you may think or hype it to be.

ufc's champs are crap... silva came from pride and owned franklin.. and now jackson did the same..

For some reason dana white, joe rogan, and all them chumps at ufc feel they gota attack boxing... just do yer thing and fak off..

[me2007]

i like UFC and MMA in general (i think Pride is better) but the UFC guys seem to be more hyped up and packaged as products, whereas the old Pride guys seem to be real fighters.

Everyone was saying that Liddell has to strike in that way, keep his hands low etc because of the way MMA fights happen, but when that punch from Jackson landed, he didn`t even see it....

Its like Liddell has no defence at all, he just swings and knocks out glorified bar brawlers, but doesn`t have a defence to fall back on...

I found Liddell annoying and i`m glad he got KO'd, especially that ****** thing he does where he spins around like some mongrel dog with his arms spinning after he won he's previous fights...

UFC is like the McDonalds of the fight world....**** product...but its quick

Good in terms of what?

Some people really have to do some research before posting...

What I hate about boxers is that all they think is that boxing is the greatest fighting style ever and don't even credit other arts. MMA artist respect boxing but knows that it's not the only thing available.

Now I sound like a die hard MMA fan but all these non-sense i've been reading so far is far too ridiculous. Why can't people appreciate both sport whitout bashing the other?

Insecurity?

I believe what addison is reffering to is Whites recent challenges in the media to Mayweather, then when a champion welterwight accepts instead he backs out, then he has criticized boxing multiple times for withering due to greed,which is somwhat true but it was obvious he was trying to angle for a super fight with floyd based off of pure greed. I have followed mma for a while now and enjoy it off and on. But it is a different animal than boxing, and Im sure White knows this. I think his criticims of the sport are more for financial gain than tanything else and boxing fans are smart enough to read between the lines

It's one of those challenges that White knows won't be accepted (after all the UFC isn't going to pay an ******** the $15 million it would take to secure him, when it only pays its own top guys six figures per fight) so it's easy to make. That's why a fighter like Kermit Cintron who is himself making maybe six figures to fight is turned down flatly. Dana white isn't interested in boxers fighting in the UFC, he's interested in promoting his own fighters. Cintron is a risk. Mayweather is not, because there's no risk he will accept a fight for anything less than an eight figure sum.

EDIT Why is the word "o u t s i d e r" censored?

You have to be a true MMA fan to like that fight. I though it was a very good fight. Hell any fight with Karo is.

i can't see any true mma fan enjoyed that fight. burkman walked around since rd. one gassed and didn't know if he was southpaw or conventional he confused himself more than karo

Classic case of as guy who doesn't know what the **** he's talking about, or who he is talking to..


I know plenty about MMA, KB, and Boxing - Mr. Down Syndrome.

"Air tight gameplan" WTF is that?..... Who are you trying to fool, bub?

I really can't see that from his comment.

As far as I'm concerned even if the rest of the card ******, which it didn't, Karo Parisyan vs Josh Burkman alone was worth the price of the PPV.

Karo judo throwing mother****ers is always uber fun.
