MMA fan?

[CrnCnn]

So I have held out from talking MMA here because I am on another forum about it and didnt know who all were fans.

Well if you are a fan and dont like paying high prices for PPV and dont have showtime, you will have it available on CBS soon.

Here is a link for anyone interested. SHERDOG (http://www.sherdog.com/news/news.asp?n_id=11528)

[Toad80t]

I read that in the news earlier today. Heck yeah! I wish it could have been the UFC, but I will take what I can get. I have seen almost every PRIDE and UFC since 2000. I'm just hooked. And being from Iowa, I love to see the Militich camp whoop butt. Not that it has happened lately.:rolleyes:

[tomdietrying]

You know it! I AM A FAN!

So who do you like in the big showdown this Saturday? I thinking upset. Well, not much of an upset since he is Dan Henderson, but he is the underdog in this one.

Peace.

LOL Dan Henderson is going to throw Silva around like a sack of potatoes. Yes I am showing favortism but look what Lutter did. Y i know i know he didnt make weight and yes he lost and here comes the excuses but Lutter doesnt like to hurt people and if he can end it early he will as some fights will go in to hurt them and yes to win but will keep going when they could easly end it. Anyways he went for a sloppy arm bar and lost. He will have redemption when he fights Franklin...


Anyways sorry back on subject. I think Henderson will win. Its his weight class unlike when he had to gain weight to fight Rampage. Congo would be a threat if he improved his ground game. He is a scary beast of a man. As for Heath I havent seen him fight that much to know how good he is.



Sorry typing away and got excited so that is reason for run ons an such. Plus I am just bad at english lol..


As for not talking about it oh PLEASE do. Heck I wll start the post :p . Love talking MMA

[Toad80t]

I'm rooting for Dan but have a feeling that Andersen will win.

[CrnCnn]

Heath Herring should do well against Kongo but it will be a good test on his striking ability. I think that there are going to be some great fights, hopefully.

Anderson has beaten his UFC opponents at there own game so far and it will be interesting to see if he can out wrestle Henderson. I think Dan takes it.

This might be Arlovski’s last UFC fight I understand he is also tired of being treated poorly be them. Tito fights next month or May and is also rumored to be leaving the UFC after his fight.


Anyone else hear that they are shopping the UFC. Latest was that they were dealing with the WWE as possible buyers. THAT WOULD BE HORRIBLE!!!

[JHarris1385]

Big fan here........WWE take over...wtf?

[CrnCnn]

Its all rumors at this point but this is the same thing that happened before Zuffa bought Pride. Lots of rumors and then a denial by Dana White then BAM no more Pride. I really am nervous to see if they buy it and what they turn it into.

ya I was listening to Jason Ellis show and he had Mayhem on. They were talking about how ufc was losing money. With Cuban suing and other places trying to grow maybe it is a good time to get out. I wasnt using Cuban as a main reason just everything at once. It will all be intresting.

I had never heard of him, I dont get sattelite radio though. I listen to the Podcasts of Sherdog.com. Mostly Beatdown, Jordan breen has a show there too but he gets too longwinded and opinionated for me. I used to like the Stephen Quadros show too but he doesnt do them anymore.

SO,.... for us old folk, what the hell is MMA?

Milk Men of America....





LOL sorry all I could come up with. It stands for Mixed Martial Arts.

[CrnCnn]

So how about that Anderson Silva? I did not expect him to do that. He is so good with his striking too, Dan would be throwing and clip him a little but Andierson would back just out of range then unload. Never thought I would see Dan get caught that way on the ground.

Ya I was pretty pissed tbh. I mean you have 16 seconds left hold on man lol. Its liek he pulled the arm away and then gave up after that and didnt figth anymore. Seems like Silva wanted it more but good for him just odd seeing dan getting caught like that.

[tomdietrying]

I knew Silva was good, but I didn't think he would win this one. Shows you what I know about Milk Men of America. lol

Yeah he showed us.

I really want BJ to win but sherk is strong and may hold him down like he did to Franca.

[tomdietrying]

Sherk is an animal with the cardio to go the full 25 minutes. BJ is so talented he never had to depend on his cardio. Thus, I don't think he ever had to train that hard. You can see it in his body that he could have trained with more cardio. He always looks a little soft. With that said, I predict BJ will hit Sherk with a flying knee in the second round allowing BJ to ge a submission.

Now, here is where I cover all my bases. If that flying knee does not land in the second, then BJ's cardio let's him down in round 3,4, and 5. The decision goes to Sherk.

Peace.
Tom
012009

[Dumke]

Well he is no longer known as Sean muscle Sherk to Sean flab Sherk. LOL that is what we came uo with saturday night. No more relying on the juice lol.


As for Bj he is dropped down in weight class I dont think he will eb beat but hey i was wrong about Henderson so what do I know. BJ has awesome talent alone so hopefully he wont rely on it. Sherk is a beast of a man specially @ 155 or whatever it is I forget. But will be intresting none the less.

[CrnCnn]

OK, so MMAJunkie.com has an article talking about UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva and Roy Jones, jr working on negotiations for a boxing match.

LINK (http://mmajunkie.com/news/3991/report-silva-jones-in-ongoing-negotiations-for-boxing-match.mma)

I don’t know how I feel about this. MMA fighters in a boxing match would get destroyed and vise versa. Anderson is only 1-1 in his boxing career.

Any thoughts?

[tomdietrying]

I agree. It's a different discipline. That's like asking an olympic gold medalist in wresting to go box a world class boxer or vise versa. Either way it would not be very competative.

Now to make it even for both put them in a MMA match.

Peace.

I think that would make it a little more fair but still you have a guy who really only trains one thing, throwing him in there with someone that will kick at his legs wouldn’t go well.

STEPPING AWAY FROM MMA...

Now the only reason I bring this up is cause he was talking crap about MMA. Floyd 'stupid head' mayweather is gonna "fight" in the WWE, what’s up with that.

There is a XCC(Xtreme Cage Combat) here in Reno this saturday that I am going to.

Beau you in? Bart, let me know when you find out. Tickets are 25, 40 then 200. I am getting the 25 dollar since you usually have to watch the screen anyway.

[Toad80t]

Frank got OWNED! I thought he might pull it out in the 3rd but he was getting rocked. I wished he didn't break his arm (or whatever) b/c I would have loved to see one more round. Someone was going down!

Get on a plane, doors open at 6.

I dont anticipate lots of people. I went to the King of the cage and there wasnt much there and that is more popular of an orginization than XCC.

[CrnCnn]

So, tonight’s fights were pretty good. The first was the best until Dan Molina got stomped. I used to like Dan until I saw his real careless attitude towards the fight and his opponent. He came out with a real arrogant attitude, at least he paid for it. Our local Reno boys didn’t fair too well, I think only two won their bouts.

Here are some Pics….

Pretty good seats for 40 bucks.

I havent seen a UFC octogon in person, but no it is smaller. The UFC (Zuffa) has a patent on the octogon size and to "Borrow" their dimension or actual octogon it is apperantly really pricy.

[CrnCnn]

HOLY CRAP!!!

Great night of fights last night. Granted there were a few lacklusters but all in all SWEET.

Dream 5 is at 3am. If i didnt have to work I would stay up and watch it. Busy MMA weekend

[tomdietrying]

Yeah, I watched both of them last night.

Fedor is the MAN imop for pfp, w/ Silva close behind.

Thats for sure. I truly hope Randy gets to fight Fedor before too long. Zuffa should just deal with it and let him go. They let Tim go with one fight left and look what happened.

[CrnCnn]

Did anyone watch the whole Dream 5 show yet? I know the outcome but have yet to finish watching.

[tomdietrying]

No, what was it on?

[taylorRichie]

I have avoided this thread because I was worried about spoilers... (I'm generally a couple of days late watching fights)

I always download and never pay the ridiculous PPV costs. I used to pay for them, and too many times been unfulfilled. I can generally have the fights within 2 hours of them airing... But I watch them on my terms.

Anyway, I'm a fan ;)

[tomdietrying]

Taylor, explain to me again how you get to watch those.

Well from now on I will post no spoilers. I Hate that. I finished the Affliction fight and a former coworker sent me a text saying something about the UFC fight, spoiling it. I cant wait til this saturdays EliteXC fights and then the UFC on the 9th.

What do you use? Torrents? I havent looked for them on utorrent but maybe I will try

[taylorRichie]

http://thepiratebay.org/search/UFC/0/99/0
http://www.demonoid.com/files/?category=0&subcategory=All&quality=All&seeded=0&external=2&query=UFC&uid=0&sort=

Torrents. They're available shortly after the events. I don't mind paying for the fights every once in a while. But I think the Organization needs a serious revamping. How about some weekly fights for free. Some decent fights, not just expensive fights every 3 weeks. But what do I know ;)

(BTW I use a program called Transmission for my torrent downloads)
a torrent is basically a text file that lets the torrent client (software) know where to look for the files (being shared by others) so the actual files you're after aren't just stored somewhere on the internet. And you're able to download much faster because your computer will download the file from several sources simultaneously and then piece it together when it's complete.

[CrnCnn]

No, what was it on?
Peace.
Tom
012009

It was on HDnet. It aired from like midnight to 3 or 4 am from Japan. I recorded it but have not finished it yet. It was free if you have HDnet.

Sure did :D several good fights on that one. If you guys want I can start emailing you the torrent files so you can download them the next day.

[CrnCnn]

That would be SPECTACULAR!!!!!

[taylorRichie]

Send me a PM every sunday after the fights and I'll send you the torrent. I'd send you the actual files but the torrent files will be a faster download for you.

[tomdietrying]

Man, that would be great!

O.K..................I have a question. When you sign up for the torrent does it cost anything? Do you ever get billed?

Thanks
Tom
012009

[CrnCnn]

A simple answer Tom is no. Torrents don’t cost anything.

[tomdietrying]

O.K. just bare with me because I just don't understand. Let me see if I got this.

1. I down load this to my computer http://www.free-music-share.com/bittorrent2/index.asp?se=MSN6127-US-03&kw=bittorrent&msnid=USFREEMUSICSHARE

2. I can listen to music, movies, etc for free? I won't have some company coming to me 5 years down the road saying I need to pay $10,000 because I watch/listened to some programs over the net?

Thanks for clearing this up.

Peace.
Tom

[taylorRichie]

I'd download this instead.

http://www.utorrent.com/

Then visit www.thepiratebay.org

Search for what you want etc. etc. then you download a "torrent" file. THis is a text file that controls the download.

Generally speaking, and I'm not a lawyer.... But from what I understand legal issues come from sharing, not from receiving. ie. You buy a CD rip it, and then share with the world. Or do the same with a movie etc.

I'm personally not worried nor do I think any of the Millions of users are. The people who are worried are the "trackers" the people providing the "torrent files"

[CrnCnn]

I watched, then downloaded the next day. I will not spoil for those who have not seen, but there were some good fights.

Randy Couture has signed a three fight deal back with the UFC and will fight Brock D-Bag in November for the title, stupid.

[taylorRichie]

I also watched it...

Pretty interesting...

I can't wait to see Brock get Pummeled... and it better happen!

[CrnCnn]

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jimmylongwong/Gifs/xndksw.gif

Those shots to the spine are way illegal. I think brock needs to get smashed and never come back. I think the ref commision or whatever its called should FIRE Dan Mergliatta(SP?) for not doing anything about those knees and letting brock basically lay on Heath that whole fight.

[CrnCnn]

So, I havent posted to this in a long time. Brock is still a Douche, even though he zapped couture.

On a another note. Josh Barnett and Fedor on Aug 1st, Anaheim, CA!!!!! I wanna go so if you want to buy me tickets feel free. :)

Also, those few weeks will be good. We have Affliction the 1st, UFC the 8th.then I think Strkeforce the 15th (Gina Carano fights then;) ), Aug 29 Randy Couture fights Nogueira.

[samneil2000]

Poor Josh Barnett. Fedor is a machine.

How much longer can Randy put his body through the training/fight at his age? Incredible.

They both are beasts. I think it will be good. I might bet on Barnett. Fedor is due a loss.

Randy is the man. I think we will see how his body is holding up in this fight. Nogueira is hard to break like Randy usually does to other people.

They in jail now btw... they are appealing.. I dont have much time as I am on break @ work but if you google piratebay trial you can read about it.


Also since they are having trouble passing fiel sharing law in europe which france having one of the tougher laws. They are giving out two warnings and then no net FOREVER! Phone companies over hetre are emailing out warnings of suspected download users and threatning to remove net permantly. (in teh news I have read). Anyways theer are ways around this and I just caution risk with everything you do. Not saying it cant be done.

Also recent news
... Ok cant find story either michigan/minnesota (one of those "m" states lol) woman has to repay record company for downloads..


I know sevral MILLIONS do it and nto get caught but piratebay is last one I would be using right now.


Sorry for bad grammer which i always have had and my spelling (typing)but not much time to type and recheck on break :p
