I don't really keep up with UFC anymore. Hughes really said he can take on the likes Fedor and other Pride fighters?
do u really believe hughes stands a chance against fedor? i dont even think he stands a chance against arlovski...but they are in difference classes.
this is pathetic...
Aleksander Emelianenko destroy James Thompson in the first 11 seconds and this video makes it seem like Emelianenko lost

Yeah. That video was weird.

HAha. Hughes does not stand a chance at all against Fedor. Noone in the UFC stands a chance against Fedor. Crocop and Noguiera are the only guys who have a chance really and noone in the UFC could take them either.Yeah. That video was weird.
hopefully i dont sound stupid for saying this, but i believe Arlovski is the only UFC fighter who can ONE DAY stand a chance against the likes of Cro Cop, Noguiera, Mark Hunt, and Fedor Emelianenko...
i think if the guy trains more, and becomes more patient in his fights (his lose to Sylvia was cuz of his rushing to punch), he'll stand a chance.

Honestly, Chuck Liddell is probably the most skilled guy in UFC, and he couldn't even make it past Rampage in Pride. Still, Chuck is the only reason I'd ever watch UFC seriously anymore and I think he should give Pride another try.
Originally posted by StyleTimeu really think so? i like Chuck and i think he has great kickboxing skills, but the guy throws random punches everywhere and he misses most of them. still...he has a very powerful punch.
I don't think Arlovski has what it takes even with more training. The top tier guys of Pride just seem to be more polished and have more natural talent. Arlovski's is just out of his league there. His grappling is nowhere near as technical as Noguiera's, his striking is nowhere near as precise as Cro Cop's, and he is nowhere near as well rounded as Fedor.Honestly, Chuck Liddell is probably the most skilled guy in UFC, and he couldn't even make it past Rampage in Pride.

i think Arlovski can take Liddell.
i dunno why i think this, but Arlovski seems to be the most well rounded fighter in the UFC. i give him 3-6 more years and he'll be one of the best fighters. his sambo skills are nice, and his strikes are pretty fast. I just think Arlovski is impatient when it comes to fighting...his lose to Tim Sylvia was pathetic.

Arlovski could win but only because they are in different weight classes. I'd still say Chuck is more skilled.
Originally posted by StyleTimehmmmm i dont know...
Chuck doesn't throw random punches. He usually throws well aimed counter punches. Watch him against Vernon White.Arlovski could win but only because they are in different weight classes. I'd still say Chuck is more skilled.
chuck and arlovski are my two favorite UFC fighters...same with Parisyan but damn...if u really think about it....none of them will ever stand a chance in PRIDE.
Chuck showed some signs of success in pride but cmon lets be serious....he got his ass kicked.

Kickboxing is a good choice. Make it sure it's not that Cardio-kickboxing crap though. You might want to add some grappling eventually as well.
Originally posted by StyleTimeyea i know, that cardio-kickboxing stuff is bullshit. i've done my research 😛
I know neither stand a chance of being a top tier fighter in Pride. I just hate to see Chuck's skill wasted in the UFC. I think he could grow more from Pride.Kickboxing is a good choice.

yea im thinking Kickboxing...then some Muay Thai...and then if i decide to really compete i'll take up ArmenianGrappling/Jiu Jitsu.
Does anyone have the Rashad Evans KO on Salmons. I missed it.
Did anyone see the Herring vs. O'Brien match? Easily the worst fight I've ever seen. Herring looked like trash. There was stuff that I, a novice UFC/Pride watcher, knew you shouldn't be doing. O'Brien wasn't much better considering he was given about 30 chances to stop the fight. Was Herring anything good in Pride because he looked beyond amateurish in this fight?
The Rashad KO was good. Rashad is getting better and better.
As for Heath Herring, what was up with his stance? I tried to find out why his stance was so weird, and apparently Joe Rogan said that Herring had a torn MCL. Not to make any excuses, but Herring should have won. Herring was a decent fighter in Pride.
check out the fights i upload. i'll upload my Herring fights soon.
Couture is coming back, but he looks terrible at HW. Anyway, he's gonna have alot of trouble with Tim Sylvia. Sylvia has reach and height advantage. Couture has to to take him down by getting a hold of his knees and using his greco-roman strenght to take him down.
As much as i want Couture to win, i also want him to lose. If he wins and becomes champ, he's going to get murdered by Mirko Cro Cop.
