dude that fight was way good, like what else would you be looking for …
i can say i hope im never on the other end of one of kimbo’s punches, and his ground work deff improved.
i was laughing my ass off when kimbo was down in the end of the second and took maybe 50 punches/elbows to the dome
Hrm, you bring up a good point. December had some good fights… and after reviewing a couple of events I feel as though 2007 was definitely much more entertaining. Sure, my favorite fighters are winning this year, but that doesn’t make it FOY worthy.
That feel good fight sucked ( since I wanted lutter to win ).
My feel good was Nate subbing that douchenozzle “Batman.”
I had super high hopes for the JZ / Aoki fight, but Aoki bitched out in the first one ( Not an illegal elbow imo… ) and the second one he was just controlled
I watch it all and just have my own favorites. I definitely liked Pride more than the UFC when it was around, so maybe I’m slightly bias.
I like Liddell moderately, don’t like Hughes, don’t like Franklin.
I have a lot of favorite fighters, but my absolute favorites are Mirko, BJ and Wand. I forgot how much I liked Lawler though, he is so fucking violent. Especially his KO of Trigg…
maybe you didnt see the expression on thompsons face.
Or how about the fact taht thompson couldnt choke out kimbo for almost 45 seconds. Thompson had a full wrap around kimbos neck and he couldnt choke him out.
thompson is a fucking chump. one of the worst, BUT he fucking annihilated kimbo. 25+ elbows the face and it wasn’t stopped? Hell, you could hear the ref saying “Come on kimbo, only 5 ( or whatever ) more seconds” etc etc etc…
Furthermore, Kimbo doesn’t even have the power to knock Thompson out!! And… Thompson has the worst chin in MMA history, lmao.
Why should he fight fedor? That’d be terrible. Remember I hate Kimbo, but if they want to try and legitimize him, they need to put him up against other bangers. Like the black guy that won the first televised bout… bangers with shitty chins and no interest in going to the ground. During this time, he needs to lose some mass, gain some cardio and wrestling… then we’ll see.
If you have never wrestled or done BJJ before, you are in for a wild shock at how taxing it can be on your endurance. Treadmill cardio doesn’t play that big of a role.
