Miesha’s ass jiggling, tits being squeezed together and groped by marloes, and camel toe made it difficult to pay attention to the fight. Instead of “oh did you see that takedown?” it was “did you see that? Did you see that ass jiggling all over when she did that? hold on I’ll rewind it”.

Sorry, i watched live on Showtime. but yes, it was a very solid puffed puss ground fight. Pretty sure others might have screen captures, i do not.
Bsnl jto previous papers

@XENOPHON,
Were you on Ambien when you wrote your UFC "A" and "B" synopsis?

Would still like to see Hendo defend the belt against Mo Lawal. Would be a good fight. Mo couldn't hump and grind on Hendo like he did Mooseassey, and with his quickness I give him a decent shot at beating Hendo on the feet. Give Hendo his requested 1billion doillars and make it happen!

Is menage a trios Canadian for menage a trois?

I'm not going to say Fedor wasn't taking some hard shots, and honestly, I don't even know about the back of the head talk, but what I'm shocked to hear nobody mention is the pelvis thrust Hendo pushed "in" after/during the first hit. It was a good shot that likely wobbled him a bit, but Fedor was face planted by a (likely) tiny steroid affected penis. People who are "out" do not roll over instantly, and Hendo was not letting him up from the stoppage when he rolled over. As for the flailing arms, you can see he is trying to adjust them under the weigh of his Pooh-Bear self, and Hendo, to push himself up or over. I do agree that his style lately hasn't been the best approach to fighting the modern MMA fighter, and he should go back to his Sambo roots. I expected a submission from Fedor. That's how he's beaten every other wrestler.

Even after watching the gif I still think the stoppage was early.

Regarding the Strikeforce Champion Situation: Business as usual (tm). /trollface

Have to agree with antfarm on this one, Lesner was active and never showed any sign of being out. Edgar was at all times scrambling, which is the fight i have to assume you are refering, he never fought griffin. Fedor was out (look for the side camera angle showing what Herb saw, eyes closed, hands at side and flat)i do not see the situations comparable at all.

How does Carwin/Lesnar compare? Lesnar actively defended the entire time, he was blocking punchs, kicking Carwen off of him. Lesnar was never ko'd, never went limp, never faceplanted, and never stopped defending himself.

"Watch it in slow motion, watch it a lot."

That's the problem. When you watch it in slow motion he appears planted to the floor. When you watch it regular time his inaction is less than 1 second. How many fights would have been stopped under similar circumstances? Carwin/Lesnar? Maynard-Griffin?

I understand the stoppage but ultimately the fight should have continued.

@intercept440 & ArmFarmer

Hummm I appreciate the tips.

I passed Freaknomics in the book store just the other day but decided to drop $100 bones on a rare 3 disk Jap flick about Miyamoto Musashi (sp?) instead.

I've been to Japan twice, yet I don't know much about Sumo. I will make it point to follow the advice as I re-consider the off the changes I suggested.

Possibly I am all fucked up, but from what I have experienced most all fighting is business - and most all business is corrupt at some level.

When living in Thailand I spent quite a bit of time at the Muay Thai pits. One fine establish in Pattaya Beach had 5 rings with concurrent fights all night. If you have never been or heard of it, check it out.






The only thing that was better than the local matches was the 500:1 ratio of hookers to customers and the cheap whiskey. I hear twin-sister strippers are cheaper by the dozen. GRIN

Your points are well taken as I don't know what was shadier. The hookers with adams-apples or the fighters pocketing cash from the bookies as they entered the ring?

Absent the book purchase, I have a Netflix account and will give it a look tomorrow night for sure, thanks.

As a final note,i'd like to say that Dan showed me something special last night.With a balanced diet of testosterone replacement therapy, illegal blows to the back of the head, and early referee stoppages, any old bastard can beat Fedor.

Good article, sums up the situation

And yes that sumo shit is shady as hell, that was messed up how they beat that one dude to death and nobody did anything about it.

I watched freakonomics it's on netflix instant stream. Interesting shit, I liked it a lot.

Plenty of female talent out there, but Bellator has most of it because they built their divisions around more than two women. If Dana lets them all go, I'm sure Bjorn will be happy to pick them up.

@xenon , what your describing sounds like a mirror image of jap sumo wrestling. which is so fucking rigged its insane, that would be a disaster i think for the ufc. go read that freakonomics book that numbers cruncher dude wrote. it would make the system fucked up i think for ufc.

just my two cents though

look, hendo is good , but theres a reason he is in strikeforce now, that simply being he wanted to much cash, the ufc said "look guy, your good, but just because you knock of spitsbing doesnt make you billy badass, then he went to SF dropped one to shields then beat up bablu and calvantecate or something then fedor. remeber he already got beat by rampage and silva spanning two divisions in the ufc add the loss from shieldzzzzz in SF and he's lost to three top tier guys (although shieldzzzz in my view is just a blanket he is highly ranked in the system s of ranking.)
.
IF he does end back in the ufc , i can Guarenteee he will indeed be taking a pay cut, he isnt going to get andersilva of brock lesnar money
.

Hendo not selling fights is solely because the fans in the States have their heads tightly shoved up their asses. Every American male should be aspiring to be half as tough and skilled as Dan Henderson, even though he's at the end of his career in the cage. Who's the next generation going to look up to, a bunch of Brazilians and a cocky black guy? That's lame as shit.

Personally I thought that was one of the most boring cards I have watched in a long while. Also thought the main event stoppage was poor. He may have been out for a fraction but he had recovered. Either way, terribly disappointing night of fights.
Whats the point of keeping Strikeforce around if the standard is so poor outside of the main event. If these guys want to get a chance to move to the big show they have to stop all the wrestlefucking. Quite enough of that goes on already in the UFC.

@ ArmFarmer

Yes, StrikeFarce seems to soon be but a shell. Top talent is heading to the big lights, and straight into the White wolf wearing sheepskins lair - liar?

I am already anticipating that as StrikeFarce talent is picked over, which will get a pass, and which will be sent knocking on the Bellator door.

Here is an idea for the UFC...with nearly all the top talent in as many divisions locked up, the fact is their are too many fighters in each division. I am tired of seeing the same people jostle, play safe, or lay and pray for each division belt.

Why not change it up a bit and at the same time make it better. Instead of shitcanning those that talk back, or those who drop 3 fights keep them all.

Split the UFC up into a much better and bigger structure. Keep the current UFC as the International best. Call it UFC "A" of you want. Thin it, and glomb the less performing with the left overs along with the up and comers from PRIDE, WEC, StrikeFarce and otherz...

Have a UFC "B" that is regionally facing.

Asia
Europe
North America
South America


The UFC "A" would include only 13 men or women. Each of these 13 (or 11) individuals would be fairly proportional from the regional which supply them, and in total there would be between 77 and 91 fighters excluding women.

UFC "A" cards including championship fights from UFC "B" and the "Women's" component could or would back fill for the UFC "A" pay-per-view.

Standings in the UFC "A" would simplified by a win's to loss ratio, period. All fights here would be title fights or fan driven catch weight fights. This would help salvage the discontent with both fighters and fans over injuries or step overs.

UFC "B" would be structured to use either a 'Win vs. Loss' ratio, and alternatively stacked based on accumulated points-per round-fight history when two or more fighters had an identical win's to lose ratio.

Forcing the "total points" as an integral part of ones permanent record forces the fighters who "lay-and-pray" and the training camps that instill the "play it safe" tactic to either step-up and commit to action, or risk being knocked farther down the ladder and less of a chance of recognition and ranking escalation.

If a UFC "A" fighter's record was eclipsed or in jeopardy from a UFC "B" fighter, the UFC "A" could either make it part of the monthly pay-per-view offerings, or force the fighter in risk, to defend his standing in their region division.

These challenges are free or pay-per-view, or broadcast in the soon to be announced UFC television channel.

UFC "TUF" would, could, and should continue as a medium to bring in new talent, and salvage those that have for any reason faltered or ran into a career slump.

No UFC "A" fighter would be allowed to were pink, unless they could prove during weigh-ins that they had a vagina.

UFC "B" fighters should be mandated to organize and unionize. This removes the fight pay discrepancies all to common and all to often despised. At the same time, it would allow an individual committed to the art of mixed martial arts the ability to earn a fair wage as they hone their skills, talent, technique, and records.

In one fell swoop allowing fighters to organize legitimizes the career and removes all kinds of headaches and problems that management is forced to deal with.

Acceptance of UFC "A" ranking immediately removes union protections, and forces by default a negotiation for pay. Lets face it, as it is now the UFC only really pays the top talent anyway.

All other catch weight and regional bouts would also allow for pay negotiations to commence. Also catch weight matches force fighters to master warfare from all angles: short, tall, skinny, fat, and size.

MMA people have been lulled into the Boxers mindset that a fight is not fair, unless the two fighters weigh the same. This is bullshit think, yet for title fights it makes sense. For practitioners of hand-to-hand combat, to be tough one must take on all comers, period.

Catch weight fights should be more frequent, and they should be promoted. It's a waste of time and talent to let a fighter stand idle because at the last minute his opponent became injured. Such matches can be used as a management plug, and would not affect one's standing in weight class.

It's a first pass, but if you have a better idea, pop tall. Lets hear it.

Caption Of The Year!

Karma I am pretty sure the hype train derailed a long time ago..

The stoppage was God's will.

@ El Guapo

I don't Fedor has ever been cocky - when compared to his peers, but as your said " ...I don’t see these losses as a reflection of his skill as much as his discipline. Or lackthere of..."

As for the Miesha Tate win during her championship bout, didn't Tate use the same technique that Lesnar used when Carwin tapped?

How gassed was Woodley in the third round?
Answer: He was so gassed he almost let a muay thai fighter sink in an omoplata.
I'm glad I saw this as I will betting against Woodley in his next fight.
@ballkick
Agreed.
Funny that I brought up Charles Darwin a year ago when explaining why TRT should not be allowed in MMA....
Fedor's GnP was ahead of it's time in Pride and I think today the game has evolved renduring his bread and butter, especially right before Hendo caught him, less and less effective with every passing fight. I can't tell you how stupid I felt telling my friends how Fedor had Hendo right where he wanted him after Hendo went down from a flurry of Fedor shots, the words "legendary ground and pound" came out of my mouth. Next thing I know Fedor's planking and I'm trying to explain how Fedor used to be known for killing guys he got on top of like that.

Early stoppage complainers.. Please see "featured articles" at the top. Look at that picture, that is why it was stopped...

As for Fedor, it's like he's too cocky. Think about it. He had Dan in trouble, he got sloppy/overly aggressive and ended up paying the price. It was the Werdum fight all over except he got caught with an H-Bomb instead of a triangle of doom(Get it? Doom, as in Wer-dum? Anybody?)I dunno, I could be in denial, but I don't see these losses as a reflection of his skill as much as his discipline. Or lackthere of..

Today in the news Renown MMA Hype Train Fedor "The Last Emperor" Emelianenko's flame was extinguished as Survivor host Ted Danson Screamed out "You are the weakest Link". It has been said Nutthuggers around the world have locked themselves away for the remainder of the weekend to mourn the loss of their beloved Fedor. Once a Champion of the people and a leader of the free world "The Last Emperor" seems to have lost all hope as he has yet to be seen since the event. Arms limp and Facedown in the Canvas a picture perfect ending if you ask Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion Dan Henderson who said shortly after putting his False teeth back in his mouth "Five time, Five time, Five time, Five time, Five Time WCW CHAMPION". It has been said that July 30th will be known as Hype day all across the United States so that all may bask in the Glory and Hype that once was Fedor.

Strikeforce gave Hendo WAY too much money in the first place IMO. Didn't he make like 500K fight or a something? No way anybody's paying him anywhere close to that much. Paycut or retire, Hollywood.

Fedor's last 3 fights have reinforced my belief that Darwin was right. Evolution is the only way to secure a successful future in life and in MMA.
If Fedor is to continue in this sport and want to return to the winning ways of his past he needs to get out of his comfort zone and train somewhere else.
If you lose a fight to someone lighter, older and shorter than yourself,....then it's broken and needs to be fixed. Fedor's fight game has not changed since he started fighting in Pride,.....and the rest of the sport evolved and passed him by.
If he Fights again,......and I think he will........Albert Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results,....that pretty much sums Fedor up at this time.
My advice,.....evolve,.....or retire.

I wanted the fight to go on longer just like everyone else, but it's hard to argue when a fighter is face down on the mat with his arms at his sides. He got caught with a big shot he didn't see coming and he went limp, it is what it is.
Miesha's ass jiggling, tits being squeezed together and groped by marloes, and camel toe made it difficult to pay attention to the fight. Instead of "oh did you see that takedown?" it was "did you see that? Did you see that ass jiggling all over when she did that? hold on I'll rewind it".
As for the future of strikeforce, why bother? They have nothing to offer anymore, just absorb them into ufc already. Overeem is gone, fedor has been exposed, diaz is gone.. they are falling apart so why try to salvage it?
Also the announcers and interviewers are terrible. I thought fedor's interview after the fight was painful to watch. Maybe it was just me but I thought the dude was basically rubbing salt in his wounds the entire time. He might as well have just said "you just got owned really bad, see the replay? Pretty humiliating huh, why don't you hang up the gloves now?"

@Mongrel: This was pulled out of *my* ass. Henderson was "amongst the big names from Pride" back when he was cut from the UFC and they still let him go. Yes, he dropped a couple of fights, but he rebounded and there was no doubt that he could compete in the division(s). The "disagreements" they had in the past weren't about who was better looking, they were specifically about Henderson wanting more money than Zuffa was willing to pay him. You know, kind of like the situation I outlined in the post. I'm not saying it WILL happen, but it's completely plausible and in my opinion likely to go down.

There are still options for hendo in strikefoce. But there is know doubt that it is a sinking ship with there best fighter arguably( Nick Diaz) in the UFC and there heavyweight champion cut( Overeem) you hav two titles vacant and if Hendo signs with the UFC that is 3. I think he re signs with Strikeforce, there are still several matches for him King Mo vs Roger Gracie winner. Mike Kyle vs. Gegard Mousassi winner. Yoel Romero Palacio vs Feijao winner. Ovince Stpreux, Lorenz Larkin, Rhadi Ferguson( if he is ever given a fight?).

If refs are going to stop fights when a guy gets hurt by a punch like that then that means the Cheick Kongo vs Pat barry fight should have been stopped and Pat Barry should have won. It means that the Frankie Edgar vs Gray Maynard title fight should have been stopped in round 1 and Gray Maynard should have won. It means that the Brock Lesnar vs Shane Carwin fight should have been stopped in round 1 and Carwin should have won. In fact, there are a bunch of fights where a guy got his bell rung by a punch like Fedor did against Hendo and the fight was allowed to continue. The fight was stopped prematurely and Herb Dean should have let it go a little bit longer to see how Fedor could recover. IT WAS STOPPED EARLY AND IT RUINED THE FIGHT!

@mongrel, end of the day, Hendo does not sell fights, does not pull in the casual fan, and would not win a belt in any weight class in the UFC. he will get a pay cut. For us old school guys we will watch him, but would you have paid 50 for last night? i wouldn't have. probably wouldn't have even gone to BWW to watch.

I don't agree with the whole Hendo pay-cut bullshit. Not sure whose ass CP pulled that out of but it's definitely not logical. Dan is amongst the big names from Pride that is still around and still kicking ass. What ever disagreements he may've had in the past have been long forgotten as Dana can now see the cash cow he has on offer.
If he gets a pay-cut, there's no justice in the world and Dana White is quite literally the biggest asshole in it.

@ccman: I don't think he won, nor am I saying he's a future champ, I just like seeing fighters grow and make improvements. Also, if anyone finds any Miesha butt-jiggle gifs from this fight, do us all a solid and post the link.

Sorry, i watched live on Showtime. but yes, it was a very solid puffed puss ground fight. Pretty sure others might have screen captures, i do not. and the brief north south was total euro porn. just sayin.

@ ccman RE:cameltoe-- pics or GTFO

The omaplata was actually impressive, i can agree to that and a complete suprise that didn't pan out and wont work 2x. Otherwise, he looked like he thought, 'stuff a couple of takedowns and he has to fight my fight'. his stance shifted, was more upright, and became exactly what he was before. and sorry, but what was the strike count halfway thru the fight? like 3 landed? if Woodley learned to jog he would have destroyed him. Sorry but Daley learned just enough to suprise a couple of people when he claimed to have been training like this since Kos. it did not show near enough.
other thing i agreed with, Woodley is no world class wrestler, his lack of control was evident as was his lack of explosiveness. yet was still enough.

I actually found Daley more impressive in defeat than I do when he lets his hands fly. He lost, but he showed greatly improved tdd and who would have ever thought he'd roll for an omaplata??? I hope he continues to develop these new found skills.

Fedor looked like he knew he had to make a big hit and do it early to have a cance, which is messed up as the bigger man. Hendo looked like hendo.
Chick fights only hightlight was the constant camel toe show by tate... and for that we salute you.
Daley looked like he can sprawl and do ok so long as he only has to a couple of times. Actually i think he looked just like Dan "come and fight my fight so i dont look like a punk" Hardy, screw the brits. Woodley looks like he would lose to Karma.
Kennedy looked like a bleeder, duh. Lawler looked like he didn't want to hit anything but the showers.
And i knooooowwwww, smith beat Le in dramatic fasion, can we let it go oterwise?
The announcers, saying again, looked like 'to wang foo with love' minus the wigs. they try to build non-existant drama badly, Shamrock sold out so long ago Faust is calling him a sell out with dignity, Maurio has the worst half puking announcing voice ala, 70's DJ, nevermind a complete lack of understanding, and GJ.... wow. i'm headed to Barnes and Noble looking for a thesaurus for more words for 'burned out shit heel drag queen'..... hoping for a more all inclusive adding insult. that bitch needs to call rupaul for make up tips.

Bah fedor isnt done, fuck tito just went 4 years without a win, and he is still around, fedor problem is he isnt utilizing his base skill set lately he just relying on the right hand murder bomb, when was the last time you saw him actually using the skills he cultured during his sambo days?, fedor just needs to get away from his current training camp and find a new one, even if he went to holland to train with some old friends or whatever, he needs to change it up a bit...

.
Hendo looked great in that fight also, havent seen him that agressive in a long time. kudos dangerous dan.
