I was very disappointed in Franklin. He seemed tentative, almost afraid, to exchange with Henderson. Henderson easily controlled him on the...
Based on the Rua that showed up this past Saturday night versus the Liddell that showed up against Evans, I like Liddell.
No kidding. Herring presented a pretty serious threat to Kongo in his fight immediately prior to Lesnar yet somehow Herring ISN'T a threat to...
Yes, my error. Also, it should have read "Nearly 30 MMA fights" and not "30+ MMA Fights". Sometimes my extensive research can't help avoid...
Snipes developed a reputation as a big puncher due to early career knockouts and the massive shot that made Holmes look retarded for about a...
....and the same for McCallum at 154. Right? :lol:
I don't care who you are or who you fought. When you have 30+ MMA bouts and 3 out of you 4 loses are to Silva and Machida, you're doing something...
That's why I can't agree with picking Arlovski. I've seen Arlovski stopped by punches so I can envision that. But I can't say the same about Fedor.
The dude was 23 years old when Douglas knocked him out. Age may explain the latter loses, but not Douglas. Everyone talks about how Tyson would...
Tyson happened along at a perfect time in HW history for a puncher to quickly become a star. For better than a decade prior to Tyson's arrival the...
Yep, that's my main problem with justifying the additional punches by claiming Silva was nasty back in Pride. Silva was a nasty beast in Pride....
Agreed. Pryor just wasn't significant enough when Duran sailed past 140. And unlike other guys, Duran wasn't coming back to 140. Ever. That...
Yeah, but not in a gay way..
McCallum at 154. Give me any opponent and I'll make a case for McCallum beating them. Marciano at cruiserweight. Same as above.
Beat me to it.
I agree. Lesnar just comes out like a hurricane and whatever happens, happens. You know Mir is smart enough to learn from the first fight and...
No you can't. You can spin it however you want, but at the end of round 5 it was clear Griffin won that fight. And I know you've seen enough...
Don't discount the talent of Frank Mir. When he's dedicated, he can be a beast. And the thing that impresses me is how improved his striking...
Beside having 5 fights, don't forget the dude had a serious cut just back in July. I didn't know much about Alvarez until TFK ranked him in his...
Well, you really touched on the theme of this thread. While the idea of defending leg kicks seems simple, it's not as easy as it sounds....
Indeed.
Torres has got to be at the top of my list with Cung Le and Faber close.
All he needs to do is schedule the fight during Hurricane season. That excuse never gets old.
What a gem. It's like saying you don't have to defend against the jab, jabs don't end fights, power punches do.
It's not bias on my part Reed. I am a very old boxing fan. I just like the way the UFC doesn't coddle fighters. If there are two guys that need to...
Really? So the 2nd round submission of Former Pride MW and WW Champion Dan Henderson isn't bigger than Franklin? And trust me, comparing apples...
But Hanzy made a great point in response. While not every MMA fighter is world class, there is very little 'building' of records especially in the...
Unlike Roy, Silva has no choice but to fight the best competition.
Ditto here. Henderson is an animal. You just can't debate that. Franklin has lost to 2 guys (Anderson Silva and Machida at 205) in almost 30...
This dude is like a conversation with Mr. Miyagi Daniel: Hey Mr. Miyagi.. How do I avoid punches? Miyagi: Try move your head. Daniel: OK....
