UFC 101: Declaration

[deathdealer]

who the fuck cares

they're 2 of the greatest fighters in the world

what a stupid fucking argument

 

[Anthony]

Arlovski left the UFC because he heard Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin were coming and he didnt want his face to end up like Humpty Dumpty.

I know you're being sarcastic, but to those who think you're serious...

Arlovski plays russian roulette do you really think this guy cares what happens to his noggin.

P.S. we all know Andrei can't take more than 2 blows.

 

[Bmore]

Oh I see... So beating Cro Cop, Nog, Coleman, Randleman etc while they were in their prime in dominating fashion doesn't count, By the way, Arlovski's departure was due to a contract dispute/the lack of respect & attention Zuffa gave him while he was nearing the last fight in his contract (I also believe his last fight was in the undercard) Plus, he also wanted to fight the best HW in the world.

P.S. It's not that the HW's now & back then were/are not good, Fedor is just that damned good.

'til next time

Fedor
Silva
GSP

Well saying that its crazy for me to put Silva ahead of Fedor is stupid. I'm not the only one who thinks that, shit check sherdog.

Silva is now the only man in MMA to beat a top 5 fighter at that weight class. Thats a hell of a feat, specially now-a-days when MMA is bigger then ever.

Sherdog?, I've been posting in sherdog for about 3 years now & it's a shame that place has become troll-central & sherdog has banned almost everyone who actually has any bit of knowledge when it comes to MMA - Forrest is or WAS from what you're saying a God in sherdog not too long ago, like Kuzzy said. TUF noobs now have a new messiah - he goes by the name of Anderson Silva & he hails from Curitiba, Brazil.

p.s. I haven't been to sherdog in months, Jeff Sherwood is a tyrant.

Well Forrest did beat Shogun and Rampage back-2-back. So he isn't exactly a push over, even though he looked like shit last night.

Truth, BUT! In all fairness he beat an injured Shogun. A healthy Shogun would eat his lunch 365 24/7.

After last night, I can't name anyone who can't beat Griffin. Dude was swinging and couldn't hit the broad side of the barn.

If that's the case, the same can be said about Rashad Evans & we all know that's far from the truth.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Its just that guys like Machida and Silva are elite.. they're on a different level of mixed martial arts. Rashad and Forrest are great fighters.. but when you're talking elite you're talking Penn, GSP, Silva, Machida, Fedor.. I think the champs we got now are going to hold it down for a while.

Its amazing that people are already doubting Machida again now against Shogun when we all know that Machida is a samurai warrior jedi mother fucker... Shogun struggled against a fucking 50 year old Mark Coleman.

Machida will yam his food. Shogun can be wreckless and Machida will make him eat knee for it.

I don't doubt Machida one bit, I'm just a huge Shogun nut-hugger.

 

[SHOGUN]

I don't think anyone is doubting Machida against Shogun, but I'm cheering for Shogun because I have a massive mancrush on a fighter who was the most dominant 205'er ever and wants him to return to his former form.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

BTW Miguel Torres is also considered "Elite", easily.

There are other "elite" fighters in MMA obviously but these guys are all bar-none the top of their weight class, IMO.

FW is debatable between Faber and Brown still IMO, but Brown obviously has edge right now.

 

[Liquidrob]

Rob, far as I know, you are 0-2 in main event fights as you swore Mir would kill Lesnar and Forrest would kill Silva. I'm sure you had Hendo over Bisping, but who didn't.

Pretty much went exactly how I thought it would. Rob kept hyping up Forrest's new and improved ground game and how he will come in with a ground game attack. Forrest is a fighter, I knew he couldn't resist standing and trading with Silva, and I knew Silva would pick him apart.

That said, I'm sure Forrest regrets not trying to take this fight to the ground and trying to stand and trade with Silva. I don't think even he or anyone in his camp realized that Anderson Silva is the most technical boxer in MMA.

I really want to see Silva Vs. Machida.

lol @ rob picking Bisping, really man?

I think people get too caught up in the x-factors of the fight. The weight difference with Silva or BJ's cardio, Henderson's age, etc. Just pick who you think is the best fighter. That's all.

lol @ this, Penn/Florian was the main event, so thats 1-1, also Hendo/Bisping was the 3rd fight, GSP/Alves was the co-main event, stop making shit up! lol

Thats the fun part trying to figure out the gameplans and matching skill set, styles make fights, plus Silva was going up a weight class, so just saying 'he is a better fighter' and going with it is not that simple and you would just pick the favorites every time anyway

Forrest didnt even try and go for a clinch, TD, anything, if someone told me he was just going to kickbox than I pick Silva all day, I even said Forrest has a overrated chin and Silva is to precise for him, oh well, Forrest made a bad choice

 

[Liquidrob]

Silva is better now because of Machida and Machida is better now because of Silva, these 2 are just helping each other out all the time, to say Machida has nothing for Silva is a joke, plain and simple, they are both making elite fighters look silly right now

 

[Liquidrob]

also, with the Bisping over Hendo pick, Dan has KO power but his KOs usually come off aggresive fighters standing there and trading with him

Bisping is a runner and he could have out pointed Dan in a 3 round fight if he could avoid the 1 big KO punch, he just didnt

I thought so too but evidently we overrated Bisping. He does not have what it takes to beat top flight fighters.

I thought the same, but Bisping got cocky and paid dearly for it.

 

[Liquidrob]

but this is MMA, it only takes that 1 punch, so predictions are always a crap shoot

Bisping has the skill set to out point a guy like Dan, it just didnt happen, doesnt mean I think Bisping is better, just thought he could win 2 out of 3 rounds by points

 

[Anthony]

Not a Bisping fan.

Not a Bisping fan.

and? I'm not really either, its just how you think fights will go
