The MMA Thread of 2009-Forever

He said he knew he was dangerous already with his BJJ background and recent fights and what he had heard, but fighting him made him realize he was a lot tougher for being a fat ass bum.

Sucks he seems to crumble when he fights the top HW's, who do you guys think he will fight next?

[Matthias]

i remember the wikipedia entry for sexyama used to say he had one of the toughest chins in the business. what stats could they have been referring to? hasn't that guy been knocked out a few times?

[Rhyis.]

Sexy/Manhoef. Melvin was brutalizing Sexy until he pulled off Judo Jesus in the ring. He's taken shots in most of his fights though. Belcher/Leben/etc... I can't even think of how many times he's been KO'd. Not a lot.

[Matthias]

ahh never saw that fight. he crumpled against vitor, i was really disappointed.

[Rhyis.]

Why lol. He's old as hell, nobody thought he'd win. That was squash match. Sexy has been losing his way to the top since he joined the UFC (and I say this as a supporter)... Also Belfort hits like a truck.

[Matthias]

yeah i know haha but i guess i see him the way i look at roy nelson... just holding out feeble hope that he'll turn things around and start achieving some glory. despite all the controversy around him with the slippery gi's and all, i've been a fan since his hero's days.

though i thought he was robbed of a win against jake shields... that should have been his return to form of sorts.

[Rhyis.]

Sexy's sport was Judo. Everything he does in MMA is for giggles and cash.

Roy's actually a pretty decent gatekeeper in the world of MMA. Him and Kongo should scrap.

he doesn't, never did, silly to think so. solid chin but Misaki and Belfort starched him bad in a way you don't see out of the best ones

Shit's just a hobby for the sexy one, don't get it twisted. The guy is a mega-celebrity in Japan with a banging ass super model wife.

[Rhyis.]

I didn't even know Sexy and Misaki fought. I should check that out.

[Andalusian girls]

p dope fight. ends with an unfulfilling disqualification but both guys get dropped and rocked prior to that. nice tactical matchup seeing Misaki with his distance point fighting and the Sexy One stalking him with that big power

[Rhyis.]

Misaki is always in a war. I've seen most of his fights so I'm surprised I missed that one.


I just noticed, what is this lol. Nigga you crazier than I am.

i have not forgiven Tim for uppercutting Yushin into oblivion yet i am morally obligated to pick against him

[Matthias]

is there any way to install First Row without installing the Incredibar toolbar, making it the default search engine, and making it my homepage?

[Hitoshura]

Install first row? You're doing it wrong.

[Matthias]

ahh yes i am, i found the streaming link.

[Matthias]

there's one weigh in video where joe rogan is standing between the two fighters, and you get a clear, unobstructed view of his face, with no one really standing in front of him, and he looks completely spaced out, it was hilarious. i thought it was silva vs. belfort but i just looked it up and it wasn't that one... gah i can't remember which one it was.

speaking of silva vs. belfort, what was with that staredown? i don't recall them talking trash or anything leading up to the fight, or did they?

[tyven]

sexyama's chin has been shot ever since misaki kicked his head off.

Prelims starting in an hour and fifteen minutes, going to get beer and head to the friends. I wish I could join the insanity in this thread. I will later!
