ccan someone tell me where the hell this sport is going.. wec ,strikeforcen dream, wec, yamma, ufc, etc.. it seems to me everyone wants in on the pot.

why not just call bullshit and converge them all into either pro or farm league...or am I missing the point and the only pro leaugue really is the ufc. all the others arw like college basketball. they .may not have the uber skills but more fun to watch.

i've about had it with the bs politics in this sport and find it fucking ridiculus that ther are so many diffewrent organizations.

yah whatever and thus mcihigan game isa fucking joke.

It's great for the fighters, regardless. This is a good day to be in MMA. In two years, that's when you might have an answer about converging. In a few months, MMA will hit the primetime spotlight for the first time and only time will tell.

The big problem is how to universally regulate MMA. The athletic commissions in every state are fucking retarded.

Kindnugs · 03-28-2008, 09:33 PM

I like the fact that the only thing I like about the ufc is tuf...and when I want to watch some fights I can watch hdnet or elitexc... but it still seens like a massive clusterfuck. especially with whaat that bullshit was with m1 and emeil. and now yamma pretty much have ng its first event fucked...oh and all the bullshit fighbts to get the average joe interested.

clusterfuck..yah that's it. AND BTW WTF HAPPENED TO BABULU????? The last fight he had scheduylked was caneled due to the fight organ+ers not being able to cough up the cash. fuck dana for being a pussy and kcikin him out. does no reputab
e org want to sign him now?

Kindnugs · 03-28-2008, 09:39 PM

Article here

I was afraid that Rothwell would end up signing there since Monte Cox was his agent for so long. In fact, here's what I said on November 3rd when I first posted about how the IFL was trying to fuck him over.

Quote:

Considering Cox is the CEO of the new version of M-1, and they actually seem to be paying well, it seems likely he'll end up there. So maybe we'll see him fight Fedor at some point=D

It really is too bad he didn't end up in the UFC.

Who cares. M1 resides itself along the sides of Yamma and Bodog. They can have those two douchebags.

Hey now, Yamma and it's super secret cage will be the greatest innovation in MMA since Mark Coleman pioneered the ground and pound!!@#!

Leaving for Strikeforce in 2 hours. I'll take my camera and toss some pictures up when I get back.

Ameraves Loyalheart · 03-29-2008, 04:04 PM

Does anyone really care that Tim Sylvia is leaving the UFC, I mean really?

huh · 03-29-2008, 04:45 PM

He might say stupid shit sometimes, he shits his pants and as god awful facial hair but he's a legit threat to almost any fighter out there. So yeah, I'm kinda disappointed to see him leave.

The UFC is supposed to be the top of the MMA food chain, letting a top10 fighter go isn't something they should let happen without a fight.

That said, with the current state of the HW division there are better fights for Tim outside of the UFC.

My Strikeforce picks.

Frank Shamrock vs. Cung Le
Gilbert Melendez vs. Gabe Lemley
Ryan Jensen vs. Joey Villasenor
Luke Stewart vs. Tiki Ghosn
Drew Fickett vs. Jae Suk Lim
Marlon Sims vs. Billy Evangelista

Haalen · 03-29-2008, 05:49 PM

my picks pretty much mimic huh's picks:
Shamrock
Melendez
Villasenor
Fickett
The rest I'm not too familiar with, but I do expect Tiki to lose.

column · 03-29-2008, 07:41 PM

Kimbo slice is about to fight on Strikeforce. So far a pretty good night of fights.

NM I guess hes not fighting,bleh

column · 03-29-2008, 08:40 PM

Ok can anyone explain to me why Kimbo Slice is the Headline event on CBS?? that is the most insulting thing I have ever seen.

Kimbo has 2 wins, one against a over the hill boxer Ray Mercer ( wasn't even a real fight,was an exhibiton bout)and one other against some random douchebag they scooped off the street.

That garners you a Main Event in primetime?? what a joke.Fuck you CBS spend some motherfuckin money and get some good fighters.

Fedor · 03-29-2008, 09:00 PM

Fuck Cung Le.
