Awesome fight IMO. The whole greasing thing is ridiculous. What Jackson did was SO nowhere close to the realm of greasing its laughable. Guy put vasoline on GSP's face between rounds and while talking to GSP rubbed a small spot on GSP's back and then tapped his chest as a sort of ritual ala the "nipple tweak".
If he were greasing GSP he would have rubbed it on his entire back and not one small spot on his back. IMO dude just forgot he had vasoline on his hand when doing it. |

I don't know if this is really going anywhere. If the NSAC doesn't come up with much they won't do anything, and I don't know if III will attract as many people as II did.

Wanderlei Silva will move down to 185 lbs for his next fight. Even if he has some cardio issues from the drop in weight, I still would put him in the top three in the UFC's Middleweight Division behind Anderson Silva and Dan Henderson. He just could not take the punches at Light Heavyweight anymore. When he was younger, he ate a few shots each fight and kept coming forward. At Middleweight, he should be able to withstand most of the strikes without being concreted (obviously A. Silva and Dan Henderson's right hand are exceptions).
The move also will put some excitement back into the Middleweight Division. He's a real threat with his size and knockout power. Anderson Silva has made a living beating up guys who couldn't knock him out with a sledgehammer. Against Wanderlei, he'd at least have to respect his striking. They should put Wanderlei against Yushin Okami first. It would make perfect sense. The UFC doesn't want Okami to be successful, but he keeps winning. Let Wanderlei knock him out then you don't have to cave in and waste an Anderson Silva fight with the inevitable beating he'd give Okami. Plus, Wanderlei has a long history of pounding the hell out of Japanese fighters. http://rearnaked.blogspot.com/2009/01/wanderlei-to-185-lbs.html

Good point, I think demian maia is one of the top middleweights in UFC and should fight one of those three if he defeats sonnen in his next fight.

Good card with some good subs and ko's. I was watching with tw3nty and he said something about Stephens looking good and I said to wait and that Lauzon would catch him and he did.

According to GSP Penn is a chapter in his book that he isn't turning back to. And he shouldn't.
I really wanted to see Lauzon lose, so maybe he'll get another shot at having his butt handed to him be Ken-flo again. ![]() Looks like Frank Shamrock is making his way back to the ring and taking on Nick Diaz. Shamrock should have this covered, though Diaz usually puts on a good fight, so it should be something to watch. Anyone going to the Arnold Grappling Championship in Ohio? |

Saw this posted on another site and got a chuckle, thought it deserved a post here.
Quote from Dana White (UFC president) on Fedor Emelianenko: "Fedor sucks, He's not even a top 5 Heavyweight in the world. Guys like Randy Couture, GSP, and BJ Penn and Anderson Silva are the best fighters" LOL of course other "legends" in the MMA world shared their thoughts on Fedor ![]() Fedor is the best P4P fighter in the world -Randy Couture, UFC HW Champion Fedor is Pound for pound the best fighter in the world -George St. Pierre, UFC LW Champion Fedor is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world aside from BJ Penn, those 2 are the best fighters in the world. -Rampage Jackson, UFC LHW Champion As far as Fedor, I think that guy is the baddest mother****er on the planet, that guy's a savage. He's one of those rare HW's that's dangerous on all positions....His submissions are nasty...he can **** you up from any position. -Joe Rogan, UFC commentator and BJJ brown belt Fedor has no weakness! I have seen so many fights, and even the best fighters in the world have a flaw in their game but I have yet to find one in Fedor Emelianenko. – Bas Rutten, former King of Pancrese and UFC HW Champion FSN Probably the best ever lived….he’s a living legend right now and I don’t think there’s a man on this planet who can beat him; the man is unreal. Pound for pound the best in the world –Diego Sanchez, hooterandgreenway radio show "What do I think of Fedor? I think Fedor is a phenomenal fighter. He's extremely well-rounded.... And skill-wise he's probably the top guy in the world right now" -Big John McCarthy, legendary referee Fedor is my favorite -BJ Penn, former UFC Welterweight Champion and BJJworld Champion, NWFS 7/9/06 Fedor is just too dominant, too good at punching people in the face. The way he punches people man he's trying to kill people, with both hands. He's in a whole different class by himself. -Brandon Vera NOBODY wants to fight fedor -Wanderlei Silva, former Pride MW Champion and GP winner Our great champion, he is the BEST in the world. -Josh Barnett, former UFC HW Champion and adcc Champion He hasn't really ever lost and he's pound-for-pound the best fighter. -Jeff Monson, ADCC Submission Wrestling World Champion He is the BEST -Mark Coleman, former UFC HW Champion and Pride GP Champion "It's between Fedor and my wife" -Gary Shaw, Elite XC President on who the best fighter is The best in the world, no doubt -Phil Baroni Look, I’ve fought many people from around the world, so I’ve seen many strong fighters. But like him, never -Renato Sobral Fedor would be absolutely great in K-1 -Ernesto Hoost, 4-time K-1 World Champion Fedor is the most incredible fighter you'll ever see -Frank Trigg Fedor is pound-for-pound best in the world -Shamada (Pride referee) The best fighter to climb into ANY areana is Emelianenko Fedor. He is in his own league and you can't compare nobody. -Kevin Randleman, former UFC HW Champion He is the best and undefeated... His striking game and his ground game is the best, so that's why he is the best... He is the **** -Mark Hunt, K-1 World Champion He’s the total package; looks can be deceiving. He’s incredibly strong, his hips are amazing, probably his best asset. Hard to hold down, hard to do anything with the guy………**** he’s just the best, that’s why he’s the best. He gets in position to throw the big bombs, he throws just as hard on the ground as he does on the feet. That’s why he’s the world Champion. – Mark Coleman, former UFC Champion and GP winner He’s the fastest I’ve ever seen. Much faster than Mirko. And he’s got a great reaction Technically he may not have such a big advantage, but physically he is the fastest heavy guy in MMA history. He tries a punch, misses it, then immediately shoots again, Cro Cop for example didn’t even see them coming. He must practise that a lot, because it’s not easy to improvise that kind of thing. He is really with a good combination of styles, he can go from one art to the other, that’s what makes him different. – Antonio Rodorigo Nogueira, former Pride Champion, UFC Interim Champion He has a fast eye, good for counter-attacking. And in every fight he shows up with something new under his sleeve. Against Filipovic he used a great clinch-strike combo: he’d go for the uchi-mata, quickly following with a powerful hook. - Pedro Rizzo I love it, 3 out of 4 people Dana mentions say that Fedor is the best LOL Last edited by LasciviousXXX; 02-12-2009 at 05:34 PM. |
