hey gang im a huge fan of mma and was wondering if any of my fellow darksiders had any opinions on what you think the best mma matches of the past were.

Yup i like MMA too.... i like brandon vera. well his not the best MMA fighter but his half filipino thats why i support him....

the best match would be crocop vs vanderlei silva. for far... there lots of great match... too hard to say....

im a pinoy too! well just half anyway,
so on a whole wich ufc # was your favorite or maybe i should ask, "if i havent seen it already, wich one should i watch?"

I am a BIG fan as well ..

My favs from the past

UFC 1

Ken ShamRock vs. Royce Gracie

also

6'2" 410 lbs Teila Tuli vs. 6'5" 216 lbs Gerard Gorean

UFC 2

Remco Parddel vs. Orlando Weit

UfC 3

6'8" 618 lbs vs. 5'11 1/2" 200lbs Keith Hackney

For sure BEST TKO

UFC 6

D.L. "TANK" Abbott vs. John Matua

Clay Guida.....

Love the slam thing Matt Hughes

Love the UFC, was going to watch the Michael Bisbane fight in Birmingham until I saw the prices of the tickets
My favourite fight had to be Forrest Griffin Vs Stephan Bonner The Ultimate fighter 1 final, was an awsome fight,
That says alot for the fight as I'm a BJJ fan and that was mainly standing and trading the whole 3 rounds.

Best UFC fighter for has to Royce Gracie (Legend)

I also used to work with a guy who went to school with Kenny Florian and Alex Karalexis, I thougt that was pretty kool

I dont know loads about ufc, but I have to admire the pure determination of Forrest Griffin, he is a true fighter. He gives everything. That ultimate fighter final was indeed awesome.

So does anyone have any predictions on ufc 91

UPDATE : UFC Headed Back To England For UFC 95 Liddell vs. Silva

I've never actually seen any UFC but i'm told it's worth the watch.

Anyone care to recommend me a good one to watch?

91 is going for Lesnar

HUGE randy the natural contour fan.. so he's my pick for sure

Stephen Bonner vs Forrest Griffen, always a fav.

Lesnar, for sure.



Any of the first 10 UFC's are great, well to be honest all of them are great. I just love the first 10 because there aren't as many rules as there are now.

Moved from members discussions

Really going to be interesting seeing Brock and Randy. I have to go with lesanr on this 1 for the fact that coutures strengths have always been his wrestling and him using that ability to get on people and ground and pound them. His wrestling isn't going to be much use against a good wrestler like Lesnar.

That being said i wouldn't be surprised at all to see Couture expose a weakness on lesnar and use it...it's what Couture does.

I think kenny will win against stevenson. His speed and submissions will be too much unless stevenson can take him down and control him.

As for the rest i will have to continue later as now it is time for work

Sry about that quote..was in a rush :P



Where did you find this...i would love to read up on that a little :)

If Lesnar wants to stand up against Couture, Couture will use that against him. If he wants to go to ground against Couture, he'll use that against him. I reckon it will be a first round win for Couture and hes going 2 win by a submission, probably an arm bar.

dEVIANT

Best one to watch

Just watch it all but its moment number 1 that will be worth the wait. Easily, I'd say, the greatest fight of all time!!

my favorite MMA fighter is Jerome LeBanner, i love Fedor Emelianenko , Mirko Filipovic and Ernesto Hoost too, all from K1 and PRIDE FC league (the best MMA league i say)

I think if Brock stands with couture we will see Couture try and get in close and use some dirty boxing which he is outstanding at. Trick is avoiding lesnars speed and power coming in.

On the ground i don't think couture will be able to control lesnar he has come a long ways since the mir fight. I hope randy proves me wrong i would love to see him win and stuff the shit that lesnar has been talking about him down his throat.

I believe Randy can do it, if he can take it into to the later rounds he even has more of an chance ... but sh*t it is 265 lbs so one clean blow could end it soon.

I also think kenny will win against stevenson

Amir Sadollah, (hella good fighter sure surprised me in the ultimate fighter) over Nick Catone

Gabriel Gonzaga - i was not impressed from his last fight, if he can really put it together he has the ability to get a win over Josh Hendricks

oh snap we are in for a good fight with Matt Riddle vs. Ryan Thomas .... Matt from the ultimate fighter really impressed me even though he lost..

you got to give it to randy i hope i'm as half as fit as that guy at his age, but just look at the size on lesnar OUCH he's huge! if randy can keep away from him in the early stages i recon he's got a chance of winning, randy is such a inteligent fighter always looking for the weakness and openings in his oponnent, good luck to him i want randy to win but i'm not so sure up against a monster like lesnar.

Gabriel Gonzaga vs Josh Hendricks fight should be another good one, i love the heavy weights!

Frank Mir proved though that he has a serious weakness in his defences so I reckon Couture will deffo exploit this and shut that big mouth for good. He really annoyed me, by the way he got on when fighting and beating Heath Herring

i hope couture wins , he will have to dodge them big hands lesnar has for sure, but lesnar is still has so much to learn which is coutures strength as for the ground work i think thats more even than we think yes lesnar has strength but couture has some much skill to offer the other big factor, is the conditioning there isnt anyone that is as well conditioned as couture expect maybe gsp?? well for sure this will be one hell of a fight

I like both these fighters alot, I've been watching ufc since day 1 and I really think Brocks going to get this one, even though Randy has been in this along time, can't wait to see it :)

any fight with pedro the rock rizzo, if you like stand up boxing stle fight look him up, also one of my favorite fights was tito ortizand frank shamrock, they were both angry with one another :)

of course shamrock and gracie thats classic and seeing tank knock out matua's tooth was kool too
ufc 90 was one of the most exciting events i have seen in a long time, tyson griffin and sherk's fight was amazing. peace!

oh wait was that "tulis's" tooth

if you like slams, check out Rampage Vs Arona if you've not seen that fight before.

one of my favorite fights is Bas Rutten Vs Warpath. it's really nothing special, i just love how smart Bas fought.. if you can't knock him out, chop him down.

Roger Huerta Vs Clay Guida is one of the better recent fights IMO.

i like mma also. ufc or ecw. forrest and brandon vera are my favorites. they usually always put on a good show. but did anyone see ufc 90 with anderson sliva and pat. cote? lame ending and lame first round. anderson is a bitch of a champ.

yeh this gonna be a sweet fight. but after everything randy did i really hope to see him get his ass whooped. after he retired cuz he couldn't fight
fedor emlinko(sp). so he retired cuz he thought there was no one that could beat him. sombody gotta beat him and lesnar would be ok with me.

I liked the Vanderla Silva&Rampage Jackson 2 fight in Pride that was a great knockout. I watched the ufc 90 PPV and i really hope Anderson silva goes up in wieght class!
Or there is no reason for him to fight in the ufc anymore. I really want to see Silva&JSP

i lost my ufc virginity last night to number 90.. good stuff i'm gonna follow it more often.

at fist i thought same shit as wwf... but oooohhhh no this shit is REAL , schweeeeet!

I really want to see Silva&JSP
[/quote]

I think you mean GSP and if you do that would be a great fight.. but for sure george 'rush' st pierre would give silva a beat down..

An awsome fight I watched last night was UFC 72

Tyson Griffin vs Clay Guida

Was a wicked fight, however I felt Clay was robbed by (yet again) crap judges scoring
I think it was one of the most technical fights I've seen. There was another which I think was the Matt Serra vs Shone Carter, that was a cool fight also

Tyson Griffin vs Clay Guida


That is a GEART fight and i think clay is a very good fighter, he does seem to get screwed over from the judges alot.

K1 and PRIDE FC league FTW, best league ever. My favorite fighter is Fedor Emelianenko, no one can beat him, NO ONE!!!(maybe crocop whit chance)
I'm suggest you to see some K1 and PRIDE video... You will see that UFC fight are booooooooring.

For any new MMA fans:

Check out PRIDE FC's hardcore knockouts vol. 1 and go from there.

Fedor Emilianenko (spell?) is the best! Hands down. It's just a pity he wont fight in the ufc.

Mauricio Shogun Rua is returning to the UFC soon, hopefully he'll be back on form. All his fights in pride were amazing. He was kicking ass! and heads.

Most of CroCops fights were excellent too.

looking forward to seeing Brock getting his butt handed to him by couture

ufc in person $119 - $5500 - ufc ppv $39.95 - ufc from the darkside PRICELESS

Chris Leben admits steroid abuse, suspended from UFC for nine months.... what do you guys think of that ?

not much. i thought he looked pretty bulked up.

anyone see what Seth Petruzelli (you probably know him as the guy who ko'd kimbo) dressed up as for halloween?
http://www.thedirty.com/?p=57908

265 lbs.: UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture (16-8) vs. Brock Lesnar (2-1) - i see randy being able to fend off Brocks early fury, then finding something and capitalizing like Mir did.

155 lbs.: Kenny Florian (10-3) vs. Joe Stevenson (29-8) - not a Kenflo fan, but i think he'll take this one.

185 lbs.: Amir Sadollah (1-0) vs. Nick Catone (5-0) - Nick who? i go Amir just cause i'm sure the ufc will give him a few easy fights after winning TUF.

265 lbs.: Gabriel Gonzaga (9-3) vs. Josh Hendricks (14-4) - Gabe's pretty tough, and i don't know much about Hendricks (though he seems pretty decent) wouldn't bet money on this, but i have a feeling Gabe is just a bigger name for Hendricks to make a splash in the ufc?

185 lbs.: Demian Maia (8-0) vs. Nate Quarry (10-2) - like both these guys. Nate's a great athlete, and i've been a fan since he was on TUF. Maia really impressed me in his last fight.. after the main event, this is the fight i'm most looking forward to.

Under card

170 lbs.: Dustin Hazelett (11-4) vs. Tamdan McCrory (9–1)

155 lbs.: Jorge Gurgel (12-4) vs. Aaron Riley (26-10-1) - i always bet against Jorge. nothing personal, he's just yet to impress me.


don't have any imput for the other fights.

155 lbs.: Jeremy Stephens (13-3) vs. Rafael dos Anjos (11-2)

155 lbs.: Alvin Robinson (9–3) vs. Mark Bocek (5-2)

185 lbs.: Matt Riddle (1-0) vs. Ryan Thomas (9-2) - riddles out now (i think) can't remember whos replacing him.

now thats a good one .. haha

January 31st

welter weight and light weight campions head to head in ufc 94

ST-PIERRE VS. PENN 2

Im a GSP fan for life go RUSH!

im stoked to watch this fight .... GO RUSH!!!!

As they'd started to contain much the same thing, threads merged.

I'd have to say my Fav fighter is "Mike Bisping" but thats because I know him (I love name dropping, cause it makes me feel so special) and he'd kick my arse if I didn't.....lol

However If i had to say of all time it would have to be "Royce Gracie" ......A true legend

EliteXC is no more!
Which leaves Kimbo Slice, Gina Carano and the rest of Elite XC’s roster facing an uncertain future.
UFC president Dana White has stated he will NEVER sign Slice.

I think this sucks, We need more organizations to promote the sport.
