When it comes to the Gracies I think there is some kind of "I didn't tap, so you didn't win" arrogance. If you're caught in a choke, OK, go ahead...
If they put Royce in with Demian Maia there wouldn't need to be any punching involved. Maia would school him on the ground.
He's somewhere between 5'11-6'0. Almost the exact height Couture is.
What is this, 1994? Fighters (should) train multiple disciplines these days. This is it, exactly.
The Diaz brothers can't wrestle, Shields can't strike. What exactly are they doing over at Caesar Gracie MMA?
Agreed. GSP's take down defense is second to none. A lot are pointing to the Henderson fight as evidence that Shields can take down GSP. Henderson...
It would be interesting to compile serious injury statistics from BJJ, amateur wrestling, and judo competitions. It might give some insight into...
Yeah, Rampage really whooped Machida's ass in that fight.
Cain vs. Lesnar. Cain took away Brock's greatest weapon (wrestling) and beat him into the fetal position. Brock also has a scar on his face to...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr9sydLyCbU&feature=related Thoughts? Marquardt has always been seen as a big 185er, so this is pretty unexpected.
I think Penn put on an amazing performance in the first fight, but he's not going to do any better than what he did the first time around. Fitch...
I would love to see Bones fight in K-1 and get knocked out. I like him but that is just foolish. There's little similarity between the two as...
The interesting thing is that neither Silva or GSP are clamoring for this fight. They wouldn't talk about it if others didn't bring it up. I...
I could see Henderson/Liddell going both ways. Henderson could catch him with a right, or maybe bring the same game plan Rampage brought against...
You can't see Chuck Liddell beating Renzo Gracie? Really? I'm certainly no Liddell fan, but Chuck would easily avoid Renzo's take downs and...
Japanese MMA CLEARLY has roots in pro wrestling. The UFC does not.
This isn't really rule related, but I do know that the Gracies knew full well who would be fighting in the early UFCs against Royce, but none of...
You might be right about that, however, if Shogun is mobile and has good stamina, Jones will get credit. The guy that fought Coleman in the UFC is...
Shogun is a wild card at this point. If he can regain top form, he's one of the best, and looked to be putting it together against Machida after...
The Sambo agreement was a MAJOR compromise on part of the UFC. That played a big part in Fedor not signing for quite a while. Then they finally...
No, they won't let Overeem do whatever the fuck he wants. If he still wants to fight in K-1 (it's my assumption he will, but maybe he accomplished...
Terribly obvious agenda you have. Mixed Martial Artists are more skilled and better athletically than they were 10 years ago, and I think if those...
It's a trend these days to say that the Pride guys couldn't cut it in the UFC. Look at the rankings for both organizations and look at who is...
He'll talk a lot of shit for the rest of time, but the fact that he never signed Fedor irks him, guaranteed. Overeem won't sign to the UFC because...
Ummm, the guys that were top dogs in the UFC while Pride was at its peak aren't doing any better. They've gotten old or haven't evolved, simple as...
I love it when Anderson Silva is listed as 5'11". I mean, how can that get fucked up so badly? I believe he was listed that same height against Leben.
This is such a tricky fight to pick because of Shogun's knee problems. Obviously, if Shogun comes in the same shape he was against Griffin and...
Nice win for Jones. I think Bader is decent, but a bit of a product of hype. If Shogun is in good health, I think he'll take Jones.

The interesting thing about Diaz/Daley is that, like Shields, Diaz can tap Daley no problem. However, Diaz is content to stand with anyone. Cyborg...
