(Marlon Sandro vs. Nick Denis; props to MMA Scraps.)
After a shaky start that saw Maximo Blanco get DQ’d after misinterpreting the "foot stomps yes, soccer kicks no" rule, and Travis Wiuff getting kneed in the balls about two dozen times before losing via TKO, Sengoku managed to put on a pretty damn entertaining show yesterday (or late Friday for us). The focal point of "Eighth Battle" was the quarterfinals of their featherweight grand prix, and unsuprisingly, top-ten featherweights Hatsu Hioki and Marlon Sandro advanced to the semis; Hioki was able to submit Ronnie Mann in the opening round, while Sandro needed all of 19 seconds to flatten Nick Denis with punches.
Elsewhere in the bracket, Michihiro Omigawa continued his career comeback, stopping Nam Phan with ground-and-pound late in the first round; after entering the tournament with a 4-7-1 record, Omigawa now holds back-to-back wins over two very credible featherweights. Korean fighter Chan Sung Jung wasn’t so fortunate, as he dropped a decision to Masanori Kanehara in what many fans felt was a race-based robbery.

comments...I assume your last name is LaPointe or LaPorte or something. Not only does that lead me to believe you're a pussy Frenchman, but it also verifies my theory that your parents named you "Has A LittlePenis"; hence the all caps in your dumbass ramblings as H.A.L. (which should really be switched to HALp; further extending the presumption that you need halp with the ladies, and that out of that frustration you come on sites like this just trying to piss people off to get your jollies). Not for me, guy. Not for me. Enjoy posting yourself to sleep all night, but if people stop responding to you you're just going to have to look in the mirror and realize you're nothing more than a jarsquatting loser (I strongly recommend you don't look into what I meant by this, because there's a very disgusting video of HAL in his parents' basement demonstrating what he does on a regular Saturday night...seriously, you'll regret it if you do).
Haha I see how it could be interpreted wrong, though.
I just have to reject the idea that because the INTERNET is open for the masses that one may have the right to spurt out off topic garbage [spam] wherever they may please. Not trying to sound like a b!tch but its distracting from the topic on hand.
Meh, I just had to rant and get that out [see: my last post above], it really has been pissing me off man.
To all those who care to put some time and effort into writing intelligent responses, thanks.
Although I think he's got a point, it's not going to change anything. And I think it's good. It's what the internet is there for; any retard can go on and spout off any inane drivel, and it's their right. Plus, the more people that come to the site, the better.
The way I deal with it is to just scan down, read a few words of it, if it's obviously garbage just skip over it. The funny thing is, I recognized your name, Dojima...so I must've read something of yours before and I know your heart is in the right place.
And by the way, anyone who relies on sherdog more than CP enjoys poopies and cream with his mother.
...there, I said it.
one. And the rest sit around and talk about how the old light bulb was better.
life goes on. its like when they turn your elementary school into an office building: you can never go back and relive the same old memories cuz its a whole new place.... and I guess, by me being a new a CP fan, "i dont offer any insight" or whatever it is you all whine about but really use as an excuse to mask your true feelings of resentment and "i would comment but theres already like 15 comments already and its all probably people going 'first' anyways, so i'll just pout a little bit more and then go to sherdog where I can email the writer if I have amazing insight to offer"

And now I'm a bit pissed off about you including me in that list (although I only assume it's an insult because I don't know the other members on it...and I honestly can't remember any of your posts for that matter--no offense intended). The fact of the matter is that I am actually a huge fan of mma. I love the sport, I love this site, and I do like to see good posters on here from people like OB&I, because most of the rest is just garbage. I've never gone on here posting ignorant and hateful things, so I don't see what your problem is. Whenever I post, I feel like I've got a point to make and I just want to throw it out there.
I'm just curious what I ever said to get your attention. I'll admit when I'm wrong if I am.
Please, let me know what I've done in the past that was in bad taste, or just, bad. Thanks.
Cornerman 1: Well, they're about to announce the result and he still doesn't seem to be wanting to get up.
Cornerman 2: What? Are you sure? We have another fight that's supposed to be starting pretty soon.
Cornerman 1: Nope, still not really wanting to move. ...I think we should probably bring in a stretcher or something.
Cornerman 2: Okay well, no, that'll take too much time...lets just kinda slide him out to the edge and let him lay there for a bit. If he still doesn't want to get up and the next fight is about to start then we'll bring in something to carry him off.
Cornerman 3: Ohp! Someone got the stretcher! Give him a microphone so we don't have to explain to Dana Wang (I assume that's his name over there) why it took us so long to get him out of the ring!
Too tired to elaborate, but there you are.
Bas you are the man!
Oh and to the 'spammers' and the ignorant here at CP, YOU ARE RUINING THIS WEBSITE, SLOWLY BUT SURELY! >:O!
BENS, you seriously have to do something about this. IT IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL. We all understand that the website is getting larger and with a larger audience comes a larger population of ignorant dirt bags who clog up the boards with useless bullsh!t, but there needs a system implemented to weed these fvckers out. I almost never read past the story anymore due to some of these people.
