I'm not a big fan of it at all, my husband likes it though. From what I seen it just looks like half naked guys hugging on the ground. Lol no offense, just thought that would be funny to say. I don't remember exactly but I think he likes Chuck Ladel...is that how you spell it?

lol Its Chuck Liddell, so you were close... Yeah, it looks like one of the strangest thing you've ever seen if you're not into it, or dont understand it, or dont have martial arts background. But thats cool. To each thier own!  :)

Oh that's how you spell it, I probably should have looked it up. I didn't mean to make fun of it. It just looked that way to me. I do realize you have to be crazy strong to be in that. So I do respect it, no matter how funny it looks to me.

Its all good. Thank you for at least respecting it. When I tell people I train a lil MMA they usually think Im crazy and or a very angry person or im violent or something like that. Its just a sport. lol

I've become a fan through my boyfriend who introduced me. Now we regularly watch and keep up with the matches. I like GSP a lot. He loves Wanderlei Silva.

Yeah, Wandie is awesome! Ive never seen him in a boring fight. The guy is a legend, fading a little bit, but still a legend.

I have been doing MMA since i was eight years old, 27 years now, I'm a 6th degree Black Belt In Sho, One of my favorites is Cung Le from STRIKEFORCE, He is the current lightheavy weight champion, Me and him have the same fighting style in martial arts.
Title: Re: Any hardcore MMA fans here?...
Post by: Locoplata78 on December 18, 2009, 01:49:35 am
Hells yeah. Cung Le is a pimp!!! His striking is scary good! And all those takedowns/throws from sanshou are awesome. If he had the JJ to back it up he'd be unstoppable... Cung is gunna have an unbelievably hard time with Nick Diaz! Its gunna be EPIC when and if it finally happens! lol

OK, 2 big MMA events this weekend Strikeforce, and WEC 45...    Cerrone v Ratcliff is gunna be fun, Horodecki is making his WEC debut, not to mention Benavidez is back in action. We got Cung Le v Scott Smith which isnt an important fight, but should be an all out brawl, Josh Thompson v Melendez will be an exciting fight just like thier 1st encounter (but theyd both get eaten alive by BJ Penn, so who really care bout the outcome lol), We got The Law v Jacare, gunna be a tough night for Linland, but since im a former Team Quest member i gotta root for my boy Matt! And King Mo is gunna walk all over Mike Whitehead... gunna be a great weekend of fights!!!! so pumped! cant wait!!  :BangHead: ;D :BangHead: ;D

anyone on here catch StrikeForce or WEC 45?... great fights all around, with a few upsets! Scott Smith, i bow to your ability to take punishment and keep on going, you have the heart of a lion, and thank you for snashing Cung Le hahaha. Hey Njokuani - one of the coolest highlight reel KOs ever! And Jake Shields, you need to step up and fight Hendo, you'll last about as long as Steve Irwin in a whole swimming pool full of sting rays!!...

Only down side to the whole weekend of fights is I realized how interchangable and generic all the hyperbole in MMA is *sigh*

I am a big fan, Can't wait to rashad fight in January
Title: Re: Any hardcore MMA fans here?...
Post by: Locoplata78 on December 20, 2009, 09:52:59 pm
I just wish Rashad was fighting Rampage like hes was supposed to... That way I can watch him get KO'd again!! lol

On a side note: Im a lil disappointed with all the injuries that have sidelined big name fighters recently. I know 1st hand how much they put into the training, so injuries cant be avoided, but it still sucks!  :-[

Ill always respect Rampage and I understand why he decided to go make some $$ doing a movie, but 1st and foremost I wish he would have stuck with the fight game. Hes one of the biggest personalities in MMA, and has the skills to back it up!... Heres to a quick return for Rampage!... So he can KO Rashad, then I can see Rampage vs Shogun 2!
That fight would be EPIC!!

Hey Strikeforce, please dont make the Fedor vs King Mo fight... not yet. Give King Mo a chance to develop before Fedor gives him brain damage!! Im tired of prospects going from bottom rung to top tier after just a few fights. Give these guys time to mature as fighters before you feed em to the best fighter on the planet!...
