Thread: The Official MMA Thread

I laughed so hard last night. And seeing Jared Shaw freak the **** out was awesome!

edit: now with gif

Apparently EliteXC is in the business of attempting to fix fights now:

Seth Petruzelli: Elite XC ‘didn’t want me to take’ Kimbo Slice down at UFC blog for UFC news, results, videos, rumors, fights, pics and tickets — MMAmania.com

My original plan was to throw out push kicks, have him think that I’m gonna throw them more, and then to shoot in on him, obviously. But the promoters kind of hinted to me, and they gave me the money to stand and trade with him. They didn’t want me to take him down, let’s just put it that way. It was worth my while to try to stand up and punch with him.

If true, that's just ****ing pathetic.

What did you guys think of Jake Shields? I really hope the UFC gets their hands on him. I would like to see him fight some of the top 170 pounders.

I saw an interview after the fight where he said he would be willing to move up to 185 to fight Robbie Lawler. That could be an interesting fight.

I don't know about him yet. That was the 1st time I can recall seeing him and I wasn't all that impressed. His stand up was severely lacking and he seemed to have some real difficulty getting that armbar against an opponent with almost zero ground defense. I think he gets beaten badly by most of the top 10 WWs, except Karo .

Not sure if anyone else is watching TUF this season, but my God, Junie is pissing me off. I don't care what he does from here on in, he will always be THAT guy to me. Just like I LOVE seeing Chris Leben get beat down, I now feel the same way about Junie.

The worst part is, he KNOWS no one is going to do anything about it because they don't want to get kicked off the show.

Yea, not yet at least.

Maybe Dana will have Anderson Silva give him a "private lesson" on next week's show.
