Originally posted by Dr. Leg KickMakes sense that he wasn't at his best then. He's a warrior for even showing up. Didn't hear Rogan say that 'cuz I was in a bar watching the fight. Apparently Mir heard about it & wasn't too happy about it.
Nog had staph infection and was hospitalized a week before the fight.

That's not taking anything away from Mir, but let's be realistic.
Mir wud hve us believe it was because of his newly evolved standup.heh
Originally posted by Shadow_KingIt's true. There was an article about it recently, and another one couple of years back. He has a martial arts background, but enough to fight in MMA? Not sure.
I heard the guy who was on the tv show Power Rangers is gonna join the UFC, was wondering if that was actually true or not?
He's in his mid 30's, so it's all or nothing right now.

Apparently he is a sixth degree blackbelt in karate and has developed his own fighting style "Tose kun Do"

Still he needs to train takedown defence work on his ground game if he wants to be really succesful.
WIth all the new dudes crossing over into MMA ive been considering the chances of success of WSM Mariuz pudzianowski who is scheduled to make his mma debut in a polish organization in december. He apparently already has some training in Kyokushin karate and boxing so if he can work on his wrestling then he could do pretty well imo. Hed be by far the strongest man in all of MMA thats for sure. Also with his all round strength some subs would be prety difficult to pull on him(though hed definitely have alot of work to do in BJJ).

I figured it had to be the green/white ranger. I wouldnt mind seeing him in TUF. Mostly because of all the bad jokes they could make for being a PW.

Here's a vid of his Muay Thai fight. Pretty good, considering he fought a guy out of Siam no1, which is a one of the best traditional MT schools in Toronto.
Originally posted by Dr. Leg KickI thought the exhibition was a bad idea from the start. Real fights only please. Nothing worse than getting ****ed up for nothing
My boy Mousasi has an injured shoulder. Fedor injured him during the exhibition match.They will find a replacement for Sokoudjou soon. I'm hoping it's Hunt or Manhoef.
Originally posted by dvampireBelfort looked good? Hes one of my favorite fighters. A shame I missed it. Only problem is he is sticking to 185 and so is the axe murderer. Thats Anderson Silva territory.
It looked like Belfort was in a karate stance in his fight with Franklin a bit. Franklin looked so predictable last night, it's why he got knocked out.
