Did you see that Kimbo is back in the UFC though?

Seriously, he only knocked out Silva because the Ref snapped his fingers really loud when he was up against the fence. If ol boy hadn't looked, shit wouldn't have gone down like that. I call rematch.

I actually like that song. So when I get rick rolled, I'm just like, 'jokes on you.'
Surely you are joking ?
You could see the legs of the fighter in the one you posted were not Silvas. Had me leary before the cat was let out of the bag.

what makes me a true mma fan is the fact i respect the sport and the fighters. i pay attention to whats going on in mma. i am tried an tested bro.
so just because i admit fuckin brock can fight a little , i am not a fan? if you dont recall frank is due for ANOTHER title shot because of his skills. So you HAVE to be legit to beat someone of that caliber more then once.
yea so he is a giant wwf fag. i agree with that BUT, he can still fight a little whether its from size or skill. i dont like brock for the fact that him and dana just automatically decided he needed a title shot with a couple fights under his belt. YES that was kinda wrong of dana , but at the same time not only was he short a bunch of HW's , he made a good business decision and the very next year brock sold the biggest ppv of the year. (beating boxing!)
i bet any kind of money that dana would have made him work a lil harder (not much) if there were more HW's to fight. we are still short hw's ...bigtime.
Kongo , cant fight, we all know that. yet he is STILL on the co main event twice a fuckin year! IF he was in ANY other weight class he would have been fired 10 losses ago. (look at his build... future fans like to see big dudes)
its not the true mma fans dana wants , its the wwe's whole fan base he is after, its boxings whole fan base he is after , he has already done a great job turning the sport into what it is now , so lets just keep letting the wwe fans foot the bill for us to watch it on the net free.
im sure you didnt know this , but just a couple of years ago (and still today) you couldnt get an athletic commission to approve a ufc event. not in the U.S. or Canada. the old guys on the commission just dont accept fighting as a sport. its dana with all his rules that has convinced these guys to approve the fights. so no matter the reason he had for putting brock in there with the big boys , it worked.
its not like he stole the danm belt, he took it and defended it and if he stayed training an shit then one of these days he could have been a good fighter.

in fact i did know that. everyone knows that. mccain called it "human cockfighting" if i recall correctly. dana is trying to get the bill passed in new york yada yada. i said it was good business by dana i just felt that it cheapened the sport somewhat by fast tracking him. also brock is huge and mir has off days. (he has a title shot now because nogueira is a tard and tried to submit him for no good reason instead of pounding his face in)

i agree , it wasnt cool for the fans at all, and yes we got somewhat cheated , but with as low as we are in the HW division , it worked.... i guess.
mir does have off days , that and he cant really handle a wrestler. He still learns and improves though and i respect the shit outta that, but i just dont care for frank. he can beat anyone on any givin day , but the day he runs into junior is not gonna be one of those days! junior is gonna smash him at his own game. if frank can get it to the ground he will get beat up there too. NOG(not even gonna attempt to spell it) jitz is under rated. nogs black belts roll with the best in the business. (not quite damian mia status, but good enough for silva to still win after getting smashed on for 4 1/2 rounds)
Big nog has super off days , sometimes i wanna see him retire. that being said he is one of my favorites.

cant fault any of this. i agree about nog's jitz they are akin to the gracies in my book expert jiu jitsu practitioners, remember pride? nog would freakin pull fights out of his ass from nowhere using his BJJ

i respect frank, but i dont like him and think hes always gonna be a mid-level / gatekeeper type of fighter, he has no chance vs cigano.

If you think mir has NO chance against my guy 'cigano' You are mistaken. Because if mir can get JDS down we will see what JDS ground game is like. Mir is a premier Grapple and submission artist at HW. he could easily snap cigano shit. But i ride wit JDS,

He is a champ. or has been, thats not mid-level.

in todays game he is mid level. his last 4 wins were kongo (shit) nelson (love the guy but come on) cro cop (LHK FOREVER, but hes over the hill) and nog (who should have won). hes getting a title shot for those wins? hes gonna get smashed.

So if Mir cannot beat JDS. Who will beat any of the champs standing at the moment?? The opnly one i see is Edson Barboza beating benson Henderson whenever he gets a shot. other than that, its locked up for a while, right?
