Blame Dana

Silva is not Fedor. Nor is Fedor Silva. People needa stop comparing the two. Silva’s said 1000x he’s not #1 and Dana keeps shoving it down everyone’s throats and bashing Fedor because:

1) He’s not fighting the best of the best
2) Fedor won’t massage Dana’s balls and join the UFC

as for #1, Silva is not facing the best guys either. I think we both agree that Leites was a HORRIBLE challenger, we knew that going in. And I think that Leites greatly exceeded everyone’s expectations with his amazingly garbage ass performance. Dude wasn’t even at the post-fight press conference. Cote i’ve NEVER liked either.

No, Silva didn’t do wat everyone wanted him to do (Silva…Smash). But as long as the ENTIRE MMA community wants to compare him w/ Fedor, when was the last time you’ve seen a challenger for Fedor’s title just fall on the ground 1000x or just run away from him the ENTIRE fight. Leites only landed 17 strikes, less than 25% of his total shots whereas Silva landed 104, 70% of his shots.

If you want the fight to goto the ground, go for the takedown or jump guard. No fighter in MMA will come inside a persons guard unless he was taken down (ur pulled into guard) or his opponent got knocked down. Tha’s how MMA WORKS! If Fedor was fighting Leites and Thales just sat down in the ring. Fedor would look at him like “WTF?” too. Tha’s the most redickulous mess ever.

Even when Silva was in Thales’ guard, he got out EASY more than once. When Silva was on his back, he was controlling this dude. What does this say? Silva is a STRIKER, w/ some damn good Jiu-Jitsu, but at the end of the day, I think anyone would be frustrated if ur stuck in an organization w/ a president who’s using u as a marketing tool when you’re CONSTANTLY saying U ARE NOT the #1 P4P.

I just want him to Fight GSP (if he beats Alves), kick HIS ass, and move up to 205. Cuz the 205ers aren’t gonna pull that same kinda crap Cote and Leites did. Most 205ers are pretty scary. 185 has went to the s*** tank like the Heavyweight division did a few yrs back. Thank goodness, that ‘s changing now (hopefully).

Fail: UFC Judges

It’s been quiet around here for the past few weeks. But just when you start to have faith in people’s judgment, someone fucks it up. This past weekend, I went to go watch UFC 86: Jackson vs. Griffin, a fight that I knew would be an extremely interesting matchup. Although, with the media portraying this thing like David vs. Goliath, I had my initial worries. Read more

The Monster vs. The Warrior

Tommorow, Forrest Griffin and Rampage Jackson, two of the most exciting mixed martial arts wrestlers will square off in the octagon to capture the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship. For me, the matchup itself is something that a true fan could only hope for. Griffin’s got the heart of a champion and the conditioning of a racehorse. The kid’s won matches on will power alone, while Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is well…a monster. When I say Monster, I’m not talking about the big guy who’s all muscle and no brain. I mean, for a wrestler, this guy sure is pretty well-rounded. Jackson’s ground game is lacking but history’s shown that anytime this dudes on the ground, you’re getting your ass slammed. In my opinion, if Griffin’s gonna actually beat Rampage, he’s gonna need to rely on his speed, well really his legs to outkick this guy and if the fights taken to the ground he’s gonna need to end it quick if he ain’t tryina get powerbombed.

Either way, this fight has gotten me so krunk, I had to write about it a day early. One one hand you got Rampage, a man who fights like a juggernaut and looks like a lunatic. But Forrest is a cat that looks almost too comfortable bloodied, almost like he likes and is unphased by it. I got my money on Rampage, but Griffin has a very good chance of shutting this one down if he can stretch the fight out a little.

As Jackson said it, “There’s gonna be more fireworks on July 5th than on the fourth”. Be sure to watch UFC 86. Yeh.

Afrothought Salutes: Gina Carano

This past weekend, I lay back and watched Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and to my surprise I see that one of the main events on the night’s card are women! Somehow I missed when women started competing in MMA and was expecting to see a “match” that was absent of intensity (women’s boxing) and as anti-climactic as the WNBA. Read more

Afrothought Salutes: Kimbo Slice

That’s right, Kimbo f*ckin’ Slice!!

Now, there are some cats you know you’d rather not fight if you can avoid it. Sure you’d try if you had to but you know you wouldn’t win. Like Mike Tyson… he has made it clear he wants to eat your children. Maybe it’s that slight bit of crazy that puts a dude into that category. For instance, Kimbo Slice. Read more
