That's what I'm talkin' about !!

One of the early ones, like # 3 or 4 there was this one fight where I bet on this huge black guy that was up against this much smaller white dude. When the bell rang that white guy karated the crap out of the slower huge guy. He beat him down and broke his hands beatin' the back of his head. Did they even have gloves back then ? I can't remember because I was half drunk. I lost that bet, but what a fight !! Needless to say the white guy could not continue in the tournament that night....
i know exactly which fight your talkin about , and i cant remember the names either. it was a giant black cat (over 300ish) and a 185 ish white dude with a pure karate style. either fighter lasted very long in the ufc , but that was great.

kelly4, i loved the tournament fights , but it was only good when no one got injured and they could get back in for round two, ect...
i have been wondering what a tournament would be like now that they got rules ? i bet it would be better then ever because most guys would make it to their next fight.

just to clear it up , BJ is one of the best fighters on the planet. i agree he is not with the new "elite group" but , he was one of the first fighters to have a FULL mma game, AND use it. when bj applies himself he can hang with most fighters. BJ is not a "tank/royce" legend , he is a true mma legend. he has fought the best battles in the game.
if bj had no money/fame an had to fight to feed his family, i could see him happily steppin in the octagon with about any fighter in the ufc and doin a decent job , win or lose.

I remember when he knocked out Silva for the belt. I had just said,"Henderson looks like he's getting tired". Then BAM.
Then I said,"Or maybe not."
LOL
great fight!

hendo was/is an will be the man for a while. he has a slight chance against jones too. if any ol school fighter can beat the newer elites it will be henderson.

Yeah...injuries definately were the worst part of tourneys.

A tourney nowadays would be fun to watch.
Part of the thrill of the early tournaments though, was watching little guys like Royce get in the ring with "big monsters". LOL! Being like most, I'd never heard of Brazilian Jiu Jitzu. I don't think most of those "monsters" had heard about it either, until Royce disclocated their shoulders or elbows .LOL!

Back then they weren't ready with as many camera angles either. I remember seeing Royce on his back getting beat up and the next thing you know the big guy on top is tapping. We'd be saying wtf just happened ??

"It aint UFC", but its on at 8pm EST (16 minutes from now) -- Bellator #68. I usually enjoy half of the fights on Bellator.

Did you watch last week # 67 ?
Ford vs Santos was a good one !
Santos had Ford messed up in the first, but man what a comeback in the second...

Also that Chandler vs Gono was a kick ass fight. I normally don't like the lightweights, but that Chandler comes to fight and is a finisher for sure !! 1st round knockout for a lightweight- hell yeah !!!

I called the Saunders/Baker fight wrong. I thought Saunders would win for sure...You never know.

Good point on the camera angles.

Seen Royce once tell a guy to tap out.
Nothing.
Told him a second time to tap out.
Nothing.
The guy went home with a dislocated elbow. Laughed my ass off! LOL!

cant wait for dos santos to smash mir in just one round... too bad overeem is a steroided out cheating bitch!!! would have been great to see dos santos break his jaw in one round also... maybe when his ban lifts in a year we can see this!

its rare that a juiced up fighter beats the more skilled fighter period. overeem dont have a chance in the world with or without the dope against junior.
overeem is a big fake. his whole body is fake. when fedor passed up a fight with him , that is the only one time i had to agree with the most overrated fighter in the industry. when a guy fights 185 his whole career , then has to cut weight to make 265 , hes not just a lil fake , he is a pure wwf wrestler.
that was fedor .... you give that big ol fuck as much dope as he can run in himself and junior will still beat him in every way.

More not UFC, this is:

dont look like diaz showed up for the superfight , and thats the reason i dont like him. hes too good to be pissin all the top dogs off. and too young to live without mma.

i stole this from mmajunkie:
"Diaz is currently suspended after failing a post-fight drug test in February following a UFC 143 loss to Carlos Condit. He cost himself a title shot back in October when he no-showed a pair of pre-event press conferences for a scheduled title shot with welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre.


"He has a problem," Estima said. "He has a social issue. This isn't his first time doing this.

"This isn't letting me down. This is letting the kids down. This is like out of order."

Ya, he was DQ'd for smokin weeeeeeeeeeed. I think its hilarious. Nate didnt fight better for smoking weed, which is why the hilarity ensues for me :)

If you want to watch ALL of Nick Diaz fights:

http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/7223696/NICK.DIAZ_(2_of_2)_-_Career.in.UFC.Strikeforce.WEC.and.more

I found the "1 of 2" torrent (the first half of Nicks fights) to be a little slow and boring. At the beginning of the second torrents fights is when he started to polish up real well.........'


TONIGHTS UFC ON FUEL TV or watch it live 5:30pm EST @ http://www.firstrowsports.eu/sport/boxing-wwe-ufc.html
