MMA Fan Strutters....HOLY F*CK

rootlesscosmo

uhhh....y'all see that Pride?wow. just wow.

yuichi

Wow is right. Tough matchups for both Champions, but even tougher considering how this was their first away match. They were both very much out of character.

Seems like the end of an era. One of the first questions asked was "Did Silva seem out of character?"

Mauricio Shogun is still dope though.

yuichi

You know what. Atleast the Americans got what they paid for. Pride seems to have officially arrived.

But what's up with the wack sluts? UFC-style. I hated that shit. 35 year olds with fake-ass titties. gross.

This was one of my favorite Prides. Up there with Prides 1, 10, 20, 23 and the 2003 MW finals. May even be one of the illest MMA events I can remember...

yuichi

This is both good and bad for Pride. I see most MMA Fans over at Sherdog are excited about this. Bad because two fan favorites in Japan were crushed. Good because interest in Pride has grown. I'll be back in a few.

Bashir

Ehhh, I'm salty about Silva getting blasted like that. But really, Shogun deserves a shot at the belt and this will give it to him. That Gomi-Diaz fight was . I don't know where Gomi's cardio was though. I think there needs to be a re-match.

yuichi

Silva is definitely past his prime. I'd like to see Shogun take it away from Henderson.

Diaz will have another shot at Gomi. Gomi should be ready next time.

Best MMA event I've seen in years! Upset after upset. Yo B*n, what happened to your dude! I didn't see that coming at all.

Seriously...facemelts all around.


PS Anyone else think that Overeem looked HUGE?

PS Anyone else think that Overeem looked HUGE?

Yes. And I was scared Shogun was gonna lose. But the great ones find a way to win.

That ground and pound entry shot was Fedor like.

yuichi

Dan Henderson is such a disrespectful hick. He really shouldn't belong in Pride.

rootlesscosmo

Yo B*n, what happened to your dude!

dude he was thrown off his game. he's not used to having a shorter name than his opponent. caught him off guard.


yeah and Overeem looks like he's on that juice. I'll say this: dude is MUCH improved over the last few years. but he was wasn't fucking with Shogun.

snicka_g

One word, MACH, he looked much bigger than that Ireland guy but still schooled him. Mach always cool under pressure, huge leg kicks and some of the illest Judo throws. I think Mach could definetly take Diaz and a rematch with Gomi as well!

I didn't read this thread so I didn't spoil it, but I gotta see this shit.

WOW

*spoiler*














































Silva got KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT! I need to start getting payperview.

yuichi

Silva's had his difficulties with grapplers that can throw a simple jab and straight.
See his match with Ricardo Arona.

Bashir

Pride sure was throwing a lot of childish shots in at the UFC last night. Those two organizations need to stop their little girl bickering and get some sort of bi-annual champ vs. champ event going.
Fedor/Sylvia
Henderson/Liddell
Kang/Silva
Mach/GSP
Gomi/Sherk... Something like that

I HATE NICK DIAZ[/b] ...great fight though. Something was wrong with Gomi.

Fedor/Sylvia

that would be a hilarious 10 seconds

Fedor/Sylvia Fedor[/b]
Henderson/Liddell Draw[/b]
Kang/Silva Silva[/b]

Gomi looked like he was playing his possum game for a while, but after a while it was apparent that Diaz had worn the fuck out of him. I hate Diaz too cuz of his cockiness, but after last night, you gotta respect the dude.

Isn't Nick from Stock-Town? That's Central Valley, right?


Nick can be a real asshole, but he's a professional fighter, not Poet Laureate. I think it's part of what makes him great. Having said that, it'll be interesting to see how Japanese fans react to him when he fights in Saitama Super Arena.


I still can not believe he beat Gomi in his Pride debut.

Diaz gets honorary South Bay status. Plus anything North of Merced and West of Turlock I consider to be my own private Bay garden.

He fights like a G. There is no contesting that.

I heard last night that Silva went into that fight with strep throat...any truth to that I wonder?

He wasn't moving very well, that's for sure.
