Cain is an American born Mexican.Watching a Brazilian guy beat up a human watermelon was entertaining though lol.
Hahah sorry I guess I'm just so used to seeing the Brazilians dominate. Didn't mean to stereotype or anything. Should have looked that up lol.Cain is an American born Mexican.
Nate already kicked Thales's ass and the only reason he lost that fight is because he got several points taken away from him. He demolished him.Hahah sorry I guess I'm just so used to seeing the Brazilians dominate. Didn't mean to stereotype or anything. Should have looked that up lol.
I'm not so sure about Marquardt being the 2nd best 185er in the UFC. Thales Leites, Henderson, and Franklin would all be a pain in the ass for Marquardt. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure Leites beat Nate at UFC 85.
Uh what? If this was street fighting and not a sport then yeah sure. Kneeing someone to the head and elbows to the back of the head hardly count as playing by the rules. I dont have any doubts in Nate's abilities but rules are there for a reason. No one can tell for sure how hurt Leites was after getting kneed in his face because he looked like he was fighting Herb Dean for a second there. Honestly, I'm surprised Nate wasn't dq'ed.it was still pretty obvious who was the better fighter. Leites is hardly a top 10 talent in my book.
Didn't realize me saying, "Uh what?" would bother you that much. Not that I really care."Uh what?????????????"
Uh what I said. Do you need this very obnoxious introduction to reply to something I've said?
He poses no threat to Silva and will (likely) be easily dispatched.
He is still below Marquardt, Franklin, Hendo & Maia.
To be honest that's kind of a testament for how weak the 185 division is. Seems to me like Anderson Silva's really cleaning out 185. Silva vs. Marquardt actually sounds like the best fight at 185 and Silva v. Henderson 2 sounds good to me as well. Heh so in a way you're right.but McFedries is unidimensional B minus fighter at best :(
Mexicans tend to do decently; just off the top of my head, Tito Ortiz and Frank Shamrock are both Mexican..Hahah sorry I guess I'm just so used to seeing the Brazilians dominate. Didn't mean to stereotype or anything. Should have looked that up lol.
Because Machida has beaten 2 people of any note recently: Tito Ortiz, who was sick of fighting for the UFC when they met, so I doubt he was 100% (as an aside this fight also showed how weak Machida was on the ground, Tito damn near subbed him - Tito has a horrible sub game), and Thiago Silva.Just to mention something I've been pissed about. How is Rampage getting a title shot already? Personally, I believe Machida deserves it. Or at least have Rampage(if he wins against Jardine) fight Machida for the title shot.
Frank Mir's inconsistent. Does that mean he shouldn't get a title shot at Lesnar?Rampage just lost recently. So two wins is enough to get you another title shot? You're telling me money has no influence on Dana White? Please. Machida is 14-0! Beating names like Silva, Ortiz, and Sokoudjou. If anything Machida and Rampage should fight for the title shot. What happens if Jardine wins? HE GETS A TITLE SHOT? Please, he's lost to Wanderlei and and Alexander. He's too inconsistent and doesn't deserve a title shot either. How many fights do you have to win before getting a title shot? And it's not like he's been avoiding big names. He ALWAYS says he wants to fight the best and think he deserves the best.
Actually, Lesnar shouldn't even be the champ in the first place. He has how many fights? Exactly. Personally, I just hate how Dana White runs things. He's an idiot.Frank Mir's inconsistent. Does that mean he shouldn't get a title shot at Lesnar?
Thales Leites is inconsistent. Does that mean he shouldn't get a shot at Anderson Silva?
Anyhow the point is it's all about timing. Winner of Rampage v. Jardine is going to fight Evans next it appears. If Rampage/Jardine has to fight Machida that would take even longer to set up a 205 title fight. I don't think anyone wants to wait that long to see Evans defend his belt.
Besides, I'd rather see Jackson meet Machida in a 5 round fight. Personally I'm not sold on Machida just yet though. 14-0 is amazing but I'll be impressed if Machida can stay undefeated once he starts beating guys like Rampage, Griffin, Shogun (yes I said Shogun), Evans, etc. Only guy that Machida finished that really impressed me so far was Rich Franklin. Sokoudjou hardly counts as a big fight, but I'll admit I was amused by the way he frustrated Ortiz. If this was the Tito from 4-5 years ago I can't say I'd expect the same result.
On on another note, it looks like UFC Undisputed (the video game) wont be as great as I thought. Unless I'm misunderstanding something it looks like you cant even fight guys from different weight classes in exhibition mode unless they've previously fought in different weight classes. That's just retarded. Why the hell can't I beat BJ's face in with Lesnar if it's in exhibition.
There better be cheats or something lol.
It's not unheard of for champions to get an immediate rematch after a close loss, as is it seems he has to fight through 2 tough contenders (like or not, Wanderlei is still very dangerous, he's lost a fair few recently but he's got a lot of KO power).Rampage just lost recently.
Machida is 14-0 against B level fighters, Silva never beat any top guys, Ortiz didn't have any desire to fight anymore (and honestly, was never that good, see: Frank Shamrock handing him his arse) and Sokoudjou has beaten one quality fighter ever; little Nog.Machida is 14-0! Beating names like Silva, Ortiz, and Sokoudjou.
The thing about Jardine is.. he seems to fight infinitely better against quality fighters, I don't understand it, it's like he has some kind of superpower that only activates when he's in severe danger of having his arse handed to him.What happens if Jardine wins? HE GETS A TITLE SHOT? Please, he's lost to Wanderlei and and Alexander.
Dana White has said he'll probably get a title shot in the next year, get over it, he might have to fight Rampage instead of Evans: he'd have to fight Rampage at some point anyway.How many fights do you have to win before getting a title shot? And it's not like he's been avoiding big names. He ALWAYS says he wants to fight the best and think he deserves the best.
hes not an idiot hes getting alot of money, hes just a dick. brock is the champ because of all the WWE fans that watch brock could get hooked onto ufc which means more money and mainstream attention.Actually, Lesnar shouldn't even be the champ in the first place. He has how many fights? Exactly. Personally, I just hate how Dana White runs things. He's an idiot.
