ufc 53

50...........

Maybe some day I'll try out for UFC but only if everyone here signs up for my jeans site and promotes the shit out of it to pay for my medical bills when I'm done.

hehe

I liked UFC 53, but it was pretty sad when Eilers blew out his knee. The Cro dude was pretty impressive, and Rich Franklin surprised me by beating the crap out of Tanner.

But honsetly, I caught the last PRIDE Bushido PPV, and that was way better. First time I ever saw Gomi, and I came away impressed. I thought he was going down (fuck, he was giving away like 25 pounds) before he unleased that wicked knockout.

And it looks like Baroni was gassed (as usual) but found a second wind. At any rate, his fight was perhaps the best of the night, even though I cant stand that guy.

As a fan of both UFC and PRIDE (and K1 and anything else I can watch), I would say CorCop isn't the monster he once looked like. I would say Fedor will hammer him, and I'd take Orlovski over Mirko right now, too. I know Mirko and Silva fought to a draw, but that wasn't under the regular PRIDE rules.

Also, I would have to say I think Igor can take Silva, and I am really hoping that they make it thru their brackets and this fight happens. I think it will be a slugfest, and Igor will put him to sleep.

I like both announce teams (UFC and PRIDE). Yeah Ruttan talks a little shit, but he was a great fighter, and he brings a lot of good insight. Just from the Bushido PPV alone, he pretty much called at least three of the knockouts, as to how he thought the one fighter was setting up his opponent and/or a flaw in the fighter defense that left him open for something.

I do think PRIDE will throw guys to the wolves, putting people in fights that dont belong in the ring (at least at this time) just for filler. UFC has much more competitive matchmaking, and more weight classes, again - less mismatches.

The bushido 7 event rocked... lotsa kos... Yea and the gomi is a fireball his KO was sick!

Awesome pics....

are you superglued to crocops nutsack or just holding on really tightly?

oh man gomi is the shit... you shoulda seen the gomi vs pulver fight... kicked ass... yeah i think igor can take on silva especially after how much weight silva lost when he fought yoshida...

Hey Steve...you should try to get a copy of the last Pride New Years Eve show. Gomi vs. Pulver is awesome!

Randleman is a great athlete and may have been world class if he would've branched out his training more, but Hammer House isn't known for its submission defense. In his fight with Sakuraba he rolled right into the armbar. The Cro Cop guillotine was just sad. I think he's 1 for 7 in his last fights.
