Vort Posted July 14, 2008 Report Posted July 14, 2008 Hi, I'm new here. Anyone interested in MMA? Anyone think it's Satan-spawn? Any opinions at all about it? Anyone actually train in it, or related disciplines (muay thai, sub wrestling, etc.)? Anyone else think Fedor is going to dominate an admittedly underrated Tim Sylvia on Saturday? Anyone else buying the Afflication ppv just to annoy Dana White? (Speaking of which, does anyone really believe Anderson Silva's lhw debut fight goes past round 1?) Quote
Vort Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Posted July 15, 2008 Mixed martial arts, like in the UFC. Aka "ultimate fighting", "human cockfighting" (thanks, Sen. McCain), "rolling around on the mat with another sweaty guy -- ewwwww!" Quote
john doe Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Yeah, I think Jose Canseco showed his MMA skills the other day when he fought Vai Sikahema. Okay, maybe not so much. Quote
Vort Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Posted July 16, 2008 When Sikahema knocked Canseco down, did he pounce on top of him and start raining down blows from the mounted position until he could secure a joint lock or choke him out? No? Aw, that ain't MMA. That's just wimp fighting with balloon gloves. I think they call that "American Gladiator". Quote
BenRaines Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 I was called by my Bishop to go to the hospital today to give a blessing to one of our Teachers in the ward who was in the emergency room. He was leaving summer school on Friday, riding his bike, all of a sudden he was hit on the chin by a fist that he doesn't know where it came from. When he woke up the blood on his face was already dry. He does not know how long he was out but thinks it was at least an hour since he got right up and went home. Without telling his parents he went to bed and slept until the next day. When he got up on Saturday with a massive bruise on his face and his mother asked him what happened he told her what he could remember. They filed a police report and the police told them that this has happened four or five times recently and that these guys were doing this and then posting video of it on YouTube. On Tuesday the boy got up and couldn't even stand. He was taken to the hospital with a severe concussion, broken bone chips in his face and badly bruised ribs. These cowards jumped this boy so they could do a video. Couldn't even fight like men one on one but as a pack. I hope they are caught and I know a few guys who would like to go a round or two with this pack. Me included. Is this brought on by UFC, MMA and or the likes of the show Jackass? I don't know but it is of great concern. Ben Raines Quote
Truegrits Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 How absolutely horrible for something like that to happen. How cowardly and so lacking in any feeling for another fellow being. I always wonder what goes through the mind of the person that can do something like that. And to be proud of it; to video it; to show it to others? How sick! But how sick are we, as a society, that it is watched and enjoyed by thousands??? Quote
hadl Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 I agree that is awful. To answer the post I train in MMA have been for two years on my own and for awhile in USAF Combatives. I have done: Folkstyle wrestling,Brazilan Jiu-Jitsu,Tae-Kwondo,and other stuff from Muay Thai,etc. Fedor is a beast that is all I am going to say about that. Quote
Vort Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Posted July 18, 2008 Why Big Tim will lose on Saturday(Sorry about the fanboyishness. What can I do? It's Fedor!) Quote
Vort Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Posted July 21, 2008 36 seconds?! 36 SECONDS?! Un. be. lievable. I figured Fedor would win, but 36 seconds? Uh-uh. By my count: Sylvia: 1 punch thrown, 0 landed, 0 sub attempts Emelianenko: 18 punches thrown, 18 landed, 1 sub attempt Win, Fedor Emelianenko, 36 seconds round 1 by RNC. WOW Quote

Vort Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Posted July 21, 2008 Btw, Anderson Silva was off his game in the UFC event. It took him over a minute -- 61 seconds, to be exact -- to knock James Irvin out in his first-ever light heavyweight match. But after that Affliction card, the UFN event was nothing but an asterisk. Good stuff, anyway. Quote
