double post too

I hope that Mississippi guy is the one guy that comes back. You cant teach heart.

I agree with Grocery in that all of the dogs are good bets. I even have a small play on Tito Ortiz as there is nothing he would want more on his way out than to take down the top contender. I think he is going to be able to take Machida down and keep him there for all 3 rounds.

I think they ****ed it up by single elimination. I think they should have left 4 slots open to dudes that lose the fight but look like badasses (I saw at least 3 dudes lose who looked better and more talented than 3 that won). That toothless dude could have been the next Forrest with some good training and would have made for at least 1 exciting ass fight during the show.

Its another upstart mma association. there gimmick is the outer edges of the cage are slope inwards keeping the action off the cage. They also have a 8 man elimination tourney like the old days of the ufc. Also have a Butterbean fight as a special attraction.

It's being developed by one of the original founders of the UFC who sold out to Dana White.

WOW at TUf...

That knockout was...ummmm....****ing RIDIC! I've never seen a dude NOT KNOW IF HE WAS IN A FIGHT!!!! 10 minutes after the fight ends! Jesus Christ, like Shake said, the dude got knocked retarded. He got amnesia, so insane.

and that Mississippi guy! OMFG he got his ****ing teath knocked out! and his face pummeled like a ****ing punching bag. Dude didn't quit.

LOL they sold the UFC for 2 million. Oops!

SEG sold to teh Ferrtitas, not Dana White

Close enough

And the kid you guys are talking about, may have all the heart in the world but the way his face looked he can't keep taking that much punishment and expect to come out ahead in the long run. Before and after pics from that fight were scary.

The Ferrtitas were losing hand over fist until after the first season of TUF.

I wasn't able to find it on youtube...but I did find that street fight I was remembering.

http://gorillafights.com/fightvideos/771/guy-gets-it.html

I remember it being much better video quality on youtube...so if anyone can find a better version of this that would be cool.

I didn't like the kid that knocked that guy out immed after he bragged to herb dean about it. Herb's facial expression after he heard that brag post was great.

Wow interesting....I would think Machida is Free money. As a fan of the sport (and Tito), I'd also like tito to win, but moneywise I would think this is an easy bet for several reasons.

My weirdest reason for machida being free money , is that I have a ****ed up theory....I THINK.. that Tito is enough of a dick/rebel that he, will not train for the fight, not do interviews for it, get in the cage, hear the "lets get it on", take a knee tap out, turn to Dana and give him the finger. Knowing that A) He'll still get a deal with any other association regardless and B.) that Dana will now have a lot of upset fans on his hands for tito "ruining" part of what some fans payed to watch. If taking a knee and tapping out can get in legal trouble for contract reasons, I would think that he's capable of diving or giving Machida his arm. I don't know, lol I just think he hates the UFC so much that I wouldn't put him past it.

So, I'm not the only one that thinks Matthew Riddle and some others are major thugs, am I?
Is adrenaline really an excuse for that?
Live, it felt like Herb took a while to reacte. Simmler just seemed so nonchalant to start the round.

I agree with Party. I thought/think they should let some of the better "losers" compete.
And Machida is the bet.

I don't think Riddle knew the extent of the injury when he was doing that. Editing can be a bitch. It certainly wasn't super aggro like some other fighters can be. You can be excited, but act like you've been there before. I have a feeling for the rest of my life when someone brings up gloating I will be forced to think of Rainkhan during the WSOP.

That was a late stoppage by Herb Dean for once. He was just in a bad position to step in. You can't blame Riddle, because you fight until the ref stops the fight. That was a brutal KO, but I've seen others similar. They all happen in that same spot along the jaw line and Simmler breathing with his mouth wide open when he got cracked certainly didn't help matters much. Apparently, he had his jaw fractured in 2 places and he was hurt for quite a while.

I really didn't understand what they were doing on TUF this year, it seemed like they matched up a lot of fighters with similar records and experience with each other. There were several good fighters that were pitted against each other. Erik Charles is an awesome stand-up fighter, but he gets matched against the only BJJ BLack Belt on there, Marrello is another good fighter and he gets matched with Gerald Harris. Then, you have some guys with 1-0 and 0-0 records fighting against each other. Really, it makes no sense if you want the best 16 fighters on the show, but Dana obviously wanted a different dynamic than just that.

You can't blame Riddle, because you fight until the ref stops the fight.

oh brother.

Being a decent human being trumps what your corner man tell you.

I really don't see how you can blame Riddler. He's in there doing his job and that's to keep fighting until the ref stops the fight. He saw Simmler hurt after he knocked him down and went for the kill, if he doesn't jump on his opponent when he's hurt, he can recover and come back to win the fight. I'm sure Simmler had no problems with him doing what he did as I'm sure he would have done the same, as would any other fighter. It's the ref's job to step in and stop the fight to protect the fighters and Herb Dean stepped in too late, because he was out of position.

wow I just got home and watched a pretty damn entertaining fight on NBC? wtf? It was strikeforce, good production, good fight, and Lon McEachern was the commentator....pretty bizarre but cool at the same time.

Also I bought the Yamma shit yesterday and it was the worst thing I've ever seen....I'd be surprised if they're not bankrupt by next month, seriously...when your main attractions are Butterbean, Ricco Rodriguez, and Mark Kerr you can't be in very good shape.

Saw that butterbean fight...just sad. Even the announcer was like "Butterbean falls down.......and now he'll never get up."

haha I noticed this and laughed during the show.

Also, every time I see/hear Steve Mazzagatti I go on full blown monkey tilt...

Plus he shows no respect for the sport.

How?

It's a money grab in MMA right now. I am shocked we haven't heard about Mike Tyson being signed to an upstart yet.

Same. He's a man in a lawyer's body.
Anyone else disgusted by the presence of Kimbo in EliteXC? Just sickened by the image he brings to the table. He gives all the 'human cockfighting' fiends their food. Plus he shows no respect for the sport. Not to mention all the feeding they do to him. I'm not a fan of them feeding Abbott to him and hyping it up like a real fight. Thoughts on Kimbo?

I don't see it.
He hasn't had enoug fights to be fighting people much better than Tank.

I think he plays up the street image but nothing I'd say was disrespecting. But I'm not a huge follower of his But I get tired of people saying he's fighting cans in his 3 pro fights

I think he's def good for the sport, I do want to see him fight a real opponent at some point though.

Shoving the ref. I wanted to puke when he did that TWICE in the Tank fight, like he doesn't have to listen to no ref.
And yes, it's a money grab. But he has taken MMA back to UFC 1. People go back and think about the human ****-fighting image when they see him.

Why is he going to take it home over Scott Smith and Robbie Lawler who are in a title fight, and a damn good one? Because they are trying to cash in on him now, which is part of Shaw's mistake IMO.

Another super hyped heavyweight new to mma fought the former UFC champion in his first fight and is fighting another former champ in his next fight.
