Tråden om MMA (Ufc, Pride, K-1, Shoto)

Akkurat sett nyeste stevnet til K1. Faen, de dommerene er jo helt på jordet. Får de ikke fikset på dette, kommer jeg til å droppe å følge med her. Tenker da spesielt på Remy Bonjasky vs. Stefan Leko kampen. Helt overgitt. Stefan Leko så jo helt forbauset ut. Han var jo klar for å sloss videre.

hohohohoho, det kan bli underholdene.

 

Djisus har dere sett UFC 78 carden? Bisping vs. Rashad som hovedkamp. Virker veldig svakt ut.

[ttt]

Planen er vel at BJ skal møte Sherk (viss han blir frikjent) i UFC78. Eventuelt blir det BJ mot ein annan i ein tittelkamp.

Intervju med Joachim Hansen på Mmaweekly angående karrieren og fremtiden. Verdt å ta en kikk på.

Fedor har f*en meg signert med "ukjente" M-1.

 

Kem kan utfordre han der da?

[TommyGun77]

Nei nei nei.... Dette var ikke bra.

 

Får håpe de klarer å få noen andre fightere av litt klasse og.

Dette kom som en bombe for meg.

 

Randy Couture forlater UFC pga at de ikke klarte å lande kontrakten til Fedor Emelianenko.

 

At the height of its power and popularity, the Ultimate Fighting Championship today lost the man many recognize as the face of mixed martial arts. UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture announced his resignation from the Las Vegas-based promotion, leaving two contracted fights, his job as an on-air analyst and his heavyweight crown on the table. In South Africa shooting scenes for his lead role in the upcoming feature film “The Scorpion King – Rise of the Akkadian,” Couture made the announcement official in a letter to UFC president Dana White. The UFC’s inability to land PRIDE heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko played a prominent role in the decision to walk away, according to Couture. “I appreciate this opportunity the sport of MMA and the UFC has given me,” the UFC Hall-of-Famer said. “However, I’m tired of swimming upstream at this stage with the management of the UFC. It only makes sense at this point in my career to fight Fedor Emelianenko, and since he’s now signed with another organization, I feel like it’s time to resign and focus on my other endeavors.” His abrupt departure deals a significant blow to the world’s most visible MMA organization. Couture was not only a beloved competitor – White once called him “the greatest fighter in UFC history” – but also a revered spokesman for a company that had long struggled to gain mainstream acceptance. “Randy’s contract was on a fight-by-fight basis, and that’s the way he said he was always going to take it – fight by fight,” said Matt Walker, Couture’s agent at The Gersh Agency. “His acting career is accelerating at an astronomical rate, and without the support he felt some of his peers were receiving in the fight business, this was the logical choice.” A three-time All-American wrestler at Oklahoma State University, Couture won four national championships in Greco-Roman wrestling and made four attempts at qualifying for the Olympics. He made his MMA debut at UFC 13 on May 13, 1997, where, at age 33, he won a heavyweight tournament, defeating Tony Halme and Steven Graham on the same night. Just seven months later, he toppled famed kickboxer Maurice Smith in Yokohama, Japan to win the UFC heavyweight crown for the first time.Over the course of the next decade, Couture emerged as one of the most decorated mixed martial artists in history. The UFC’s only six-time champion, he captured the heavyweight belt three times, the light heavyweight title twice and an interim light heavyweight title, as well. Couture remains the only man to win UFC championships in two weight classes.His run through the promotion included a memorable trilogy with light heavyweight rival Chuck Liddell, the only opponent to beat Couture twice. Following his third bout with Liddell in February 2006, Couture announced his first retirement.As 2007 dawned, his desire to compete returned, and a four-fight contract with the UFC – which included the opportunity to fight Tim Sylvia for the heavyweight strap at UFC 68 in March – was presented to Couture. He accepted, and the wheels for an historic comeback were set in motion.Couture floored Sylvia with an overhand right seconds into the bout and punished the 6-foot-8 giant over five rounds. Playing to chants of “Randy!” he regained the heavyweight title for an unprecedented third time in front of 19,049 fans at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. Five months later, at the age of 44, he defeated rising contender Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 74, stopping the young Brazilian by third-round TKO despite suffering a broken left arm. It would be his final appearance in the Octagon.Couture (16-8) leaves behind an unrivaled legacy in the sport. Fifteen of his 24 career bouts were title fights, and he bested six former UFC champions – Liddell, Vitor Belfort, Tito Ortiz and Sylvia among them. Always willing to meet a challenge, Couture consistently tested himself against the world’s premier fighters. The 19 men he fought (he squared off with Pedro Rizzo twice and Liddell and Belfort three times each) hold 357 victories between them.

Spør du meg så ser det ut som Dana White har ødelagt godt for UFC nå. Bare les igjennom å se hva Randy synes om han.

Så jevljg tåpelig. Hadde gledet meg stort til å se Fedor mot Couture, men neida.

[Gjest Slettet-VqMh8ni9]

Good job Dana "it's good to be" White :/

 

Ole

[TommyGun77]

Oi oi.. Dette må jeg si kom som et sjokk!

 

Dette må svi for Dana, først går posterboyen hans Liddel på to nederlag og så stikker Couture.

[ttt]

Først "mister" UFC Fedor, og no Couture. Triste greier. Det er ingen tvil om at dette er eit stort tap for UFC.

[Paull]

Må si meg enig i det. Hvem tror dere kommer til å kjempe om tittelen nå da? Vera/Sylvia?

Nougeira burde jo være med i kampen også, så det blir vel ikke en ny HW-champion før en god del uti neste år?

[ttt]

Vera og Sylvia skal møtast i UFC77. Og det er vel snakk om at Nogeuira skal møte Kongo tidleg i neste år. I så fall vil eg tru vinnaren av desse kampane vil møtast i ein kamp om tittelen. Men dette vil jo bli ei stund til.

[SnowDOG_]

Hvis ikke couture eller fedor er i UFC har eg egentlig ingen tvil om at nogueira kommer til å ha beltet en stund.

 

De mest bedritne med det hele er at couture VIL fighte fedor og hadde sannsynligvis signert for M-1 men så har dana white kommet ut og sagt dette:

 

As we all know, Randy retired before. The landscape in MMA changes every day. So when he is ready to come out of retirement again, he is still under contract with me, and I’m ready to promote him.”

[JimRamse]

Joda, men "kontrakten" til Dana går ut om 9 mnd hvisnok, å etter dette kan han gjøre hva han vil.

[Geir M]

Joda, men "kontrakten" til Dana går ut om 9 mnd hvisnok, å etter dette kan han gjøre hva han vil.

Ja, og fyren blir jo ikke akkurat yngre heller. Surt at det ikke ble noe kamp mellom fedor og couture.

 

Men hva skjer i M-1? hvorfor gidder fedor å signe der? Er det noen som i det hele tatt kan gi han en utfordring der? Noen kjente folk?

[SnowDOG_]

Ifølge frank trigg er det snakk om at han får 10millioner dollar for kontrakten med M-1. Han sier også at han kommer allerede fighte til nyttårs og produksjonen skal vist være folket bak PRIDE eventene.

 

Dog dette er forsatt rykter.

Nick Diaz vs. K.J. Noons på lørdag http://www.elitexc.com/

Ja det blir sikkert spennende, Kombo fighter også på samme card.

[JimRamse]

Må nok se stevnet i helgen, men må si jeg gleder meg mer til neste helg. Må være det dårligste Main Event noensinne, men resten av fightcardet er slett ikke galent.
