WEC 53 Thursday 12-16-10

Yep, people forget that Machida is a BJJ black belt and has actually trained in sumo for 20 years.

 

And don't forget, he is a Dragon.

 

How can I forget, it's in my signature.

 

I watched the two championship fights with a friend of mine over a couple of beers last night. And credit where it's due... although, for the most part, both fights were hideously boring, that kick off the fence was a thing of beauty. It didn't quite make up for the fact that the fights and fighters were all garbage (with the possible exception of the guy who kicked that boring black guy with the hair in the face), but that was cool.

What a coincidence that an MMA hater was watching an obscure mma event.

 

Steve will bash and hate on MMA till the end of time. But he watches every event.::

 

Henderson-Pettis was far from boring.

 

This one he has no excuse for, at least with the big UFC ppvs he can make an excuse that it was on at a bar or something, but this was an obscure WEC card, this shit wasn't playing at bars. Hell, the casual fan didn't even know about it, and even if they heard about it, they were too busy watching Thursday Night Football to care. ::

 

Exactly.

 

Not to mention the main event ran late.

 

Are you guys stupid? It was aired on 'The Score', one of Canada's highest rated sports networks. It was on at every pub in town. And no, I don't pay for cage fighting.

 

That kick was fun. Other than that? Boring.

 

NO EXCUSES! :atu:

 

You would enjoy that shitty display of cage fighting though, wouldn't you?

 

::

 

I don't care what anyone thinks. That was a solid fight card. Free on a Thursday night and getting to see probable Top 10 P4P guy in Cruz, please... It was a solid event.

By the way, if I were making a current P4P list, Cruz is 8th right now.

Jar, TLC? Where would you put him?

 

Cruz, the little guy with no defence that beat the guy with the skin condition?

 

....or the Drunken Master as TLC hilariously called him.

 

Uh...6

 

I would really have to think on this one.

 

Yeah, that guy isn't very good. But we probably have different taste.

 

Well, it would be difficult for you to really judge how good Cruz is because you don't like the sport or really follow it according to your own comments.

That being said, Cruz is a very good fighter. Most who know the sport would agree.

 

That's fair. But you and I both know he isn't very good.

 

cruz honestly has a great mma style.

probably could fuck up most people in a street fight

 

I would agree. He is a very well rounded fighter. He doesn't really have any glaring weaknesses.

 

His laughable defence isn't a glaring weakness?

 

Who cares?

 

Steve, you think everyone in MMA has laughable defence.::

 

Simple trolling. The guy adds zero to the forum.

 

Cruz probably will get KTFO if he drunken boxes an elite striker, but he'd probably just take them down. The way he charges in with telegraphed lead uppercuts just makes it seen like one day he's going to get cracked with a right hand doing that.

Cruz vs KID would intrigue.
