UFC 97: Redemption

CrownR426 · 04-12-2009, 04:04 PM

I hope everyone is going to watch this!

Anderson The Spiderman Silva vs Thales Leites for MidWeight Chamionship
Chuck The Iceman Liddell vs Mauricio Shogun Rua

Crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
I want my boys silva and liddell to pull through!

WHATSUP?!

It's a shame what's happened to chuck the last few fights. He used to be the man, and I hope he can make it happen.
I always bet on silva.

CrownR426 · 04-12-2009, 04:17 PM

Chuck's prime started thinning.
But there's a reason why they call him the Ice Man!
As for Silva, he's seriously a beast.
It's a shame he's retiring soon!

That's the way to do it, go out in your prime where everyone will remember you as the best, instead of pull a liddell and end up fighting guys people don't even know.

Wait wait wait, are you calling Shogun a nobody? Dude was practically UNSTOPPABLE until he tore his ACL before going into the cage with Griffin.

@frost regarding BJ

Well there's a reason why BJ's nickname is the prodigy. He gets a lot of sh*t for his poor work ethics but he does lay the smack down. As for his loss to GSP, moving up a weight class is no joke, not to mention GSP is a huge WW that's capable of fighting in MW no problem. Last but not least, let's not forget the greasegate scandal.

Nobody might be a little harsh since Shogun has a great record, but consider that Liddell used to be THE man of ufc, shogun would not have gotten a fight with him. I do vaguely remember the fight with Griffin, he tapped if I remember right. I don't remember them making mention of tearing his ACL before the fight, but I could have missed it.

At bj, never denied he was a great fighter, that's not up for debate. My comment was that his worth ethic is nonexistent, and I think that's lame.

lol yeah...
I think that's why they called this one Redemption.
These guys have got to prove to everyone why they are called the best in the business!

frost · 04-12-2009, 04:24 PM

Silva doesnt have anything to prove, he's the current champ. Liddell has a s-load to prove, and redeem for. Even though I like him, his training has been sloppy the last few years, like he's not taking it serious. I mean, he's the only dude I can think of who seriously fights in MMA with a beer gut.

frost · 04-12-2009, 04:28 PM

PS, Cheick Kongo is also fighting, who I think is a pretty good fighter.
Also, a little FF (fun fact) UFC 17 in 1998 was also called redemption, and featured shamrock and horn.
Liddell also fought, but was an undercard, and it didn't even get televised.

CrownR426 · 04-12-2009, 04:33 PM

LOL!
True that about Liddell. Him and BJ Penn can use a lot of conditioning before they fight!
I started brazilian jiu jitsu and muy thai because of Silva!
I remember being bullied when I was in elementary school by many kids.
Then I picked up boxing in 6th grade and that was the end of being bullied. [:
I want to compete in mma in couple of years!

CrownR426 · 04-12-2009, 04:34 PM

ooooooh!
Btw that's a very interesting fact.
How long have you been watching ufc for?
Seems like you know your stuff!

frost · 04-12-2009, 04:36 PM

I was a bj penn fan until thy did that little series of him and GSP training. GSP trained like a frackin animal where bj did some jogging with his buds while throwing up his hang loose sign at everyone.

frost · 04-12-2009, 04:38 PM

I've been watching off and on since shamrock. So I guess around 10 years. I've watched video of old stuff (circa 1993), and the sport has definitely changed. When they first started, there were no weight classes. There were just an f load of fighters, and whoever was the last dude was the ultimate fighter. That stuff had fewer rules and was a lot more brutal.

CrownR426 · 04-12-2009, 05:39 PM

LOL!
Yeah I saw the UFC 1.
My dojo is actually Royce Gracie's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!
My sensei was the student of the Royce Gracie and his son.
He still goes to brazil during the summer to train there.
It's tough but I love the feeling after you give it your all and when water is your reward!
Awesome.
