UFC 72 Okami vs Franklin

its OFFICIAL

i got my money on Okami for the upset.

I'm not 100% sure about this, but didn't Okami beat Anderson Silva once?
If so then I'm going with Okami to.

the fight was stopped due to DQ. Silva did an illegal kick which KO'd Okami.

it was a short fight, and both fighters were doing good.

Anyone know when Cro Cop's fighting again??

that's another reason why i like Pride over UFC. NSAC = too strict

Cro Cop installed an octagon in his house in Croatia to train to get use to the cage.

I was wondering if he was gonna start training in a cage, If he learns to defend elbows he'll be back in the game in no time..

I'd like to see him fight Sylvia next, or maybe Arlovski.

i dislike elbows when on the ground. completley ruins the fight when fighters get a cut.

throwing elbows at stand up is much better for the sport.

Yeah. They should nix the ground elbows and throw in kicks to downed opponents. I always feel like something is missing when I watch UFC fights then I remember you can't kick the guy on the ground in head.

i miss soccer kicks to the head 🙁

that's what makes Wanderlei Silva and Shogun so great.

Yeah.I love those.too bad Pride can't have them now.

I thought they were going to let Pride keep its ruleset in Japan.

Which will lead to shittier fights to please us Americans.

Which will lead to pride having to lose the ring and have their fighters use a cage instead.

🙁 hopefully the ring doesn't get replaced by the octagon.

I hope it's not replaced either.I just have a bad feeling though.It might not be a week,month,or a year from now,but I can just see it happening.That would be a sad,sad,day.

This saddens me. What happened to all that jazz about keeping everything separate like Dana said at that Pride conference? I was just getting my friends to see the superiority of the Pride ruleset and now it's going away.

So, who's Fedor's next victim?

I'd like to see them get rid of the bows too. I hate seeing doctor stoppages. As for Pride having to switch over to a cage, I'm against it as well but I guess there has to be an even playing ground for when they do the MMA Superbowl.

Well nothing official has been said yet on Pride using a cage.I just think it's very possible.
