been a huge mma fan since about Pride 13, Sakuraba is my favorite fighter, I used to train bjj but the gym moved and I was too lazy to move with them cuz they went to the SE.

I watch most events, alot of rare stuff none of you have probably even heard of, Shooto, Pancrase, ETC, I might be what you call an mma nerd, I know almost every fighter out there, who hes fought, who hes lost to. I post on an mma site www.4nzix.com, its run by the guy who does all the video clips on www.sherdog.com and another guy stils who does the hl videos.

Alot of knowledgeable people there, and some with inside info, theres a guy who trains with Chute Boxe(vanderlei silva's team), Macaco's team, used to have a guy who trained with the Takada Dojo(sakuraba's team), one guy from vancouver who trains with DEnis Kang.

I try to get my friends hooked on this shit, but the fags all leave when it hits the ground for more than 20 secs.

For anyone who missed it

Finale is once once again on spike.

Kenflo is being beat up right now.

I just watched Pride Bushido Vol. 6 last week -- some great fights. I am the proud owner of all the UFC and Pride events

Kenny was out of his weight class. Also makes me wonder why Swick wasn't fighting at middleweight, his natural class -- I believe Swick could manhandle Diego.

Any of you guys had an MMA fight? I'm sort of thinking of training again and fighting. It's just something that lingers in the back of my mind. I can't shake it. I haven't crosstrained in wrestling and BJJ yet really (only 8hrs training so far). But if I were to fight I'd of course crosstrain.

I've had 3 kickboxing matches (3rd x 2 min, low kicks allowed).
-1 win (2rd KO, crocop kick )
-1 loss (DEC)
-1 no contest (low blow, couldn't continue).

1 fight was on an actual card, 2 were after hours "grudge matches".

No pics... The only pics that might be around would be from the sanctioned fight, which really sucked ass

[Loose]

Does anybody know what the card is looking like for KOTC? I guess it's really changed since they first anounced it.

As far as I know:

- Menjivar's fight is still on
- Jaymac vs Kryst. is off
- Ade is off
- Yakiluk vs Gracie is off
- Victor Valimaki (Edmonton fighter) is on

Pride middleweight tournament is going to be the biggest thing until Crocop/Fedor rolls around... UFC is the minor leagues compared to Pride. No one even cares about the undercard to UFC. Its like Boxing now. Pride MW tournament is STACKED. All good fights. That's where you should spend your PPV bucks on.

i have an MMA fight on the 23rd, first one ever.
they needed someone on the undercard and the guy was smaller than me so i figured i would take a beating for the fun of it.
ill post pictures and all if i win.
cant wait for my friends fight though.
his first MMA fight as well, but he is 14-3 in BJJ(11 subs), and 5-0 in kickboxing (4 KO's). he is a light heavyweight.

[gatorade]

who is your friend?. Glad to see some knowledgeable mma fans here, not some "i watch tuf and now I think I know shit"

OHARA BY KO!
