Do you want some links to the fights?Neomich said:I did not get the chance to watch it. We don't have PPV capabilities anymore and a lot of the local sports bars were showing the Patriots game and/or the A&M game.
I'm glad GSP won, in a previous post somewhere I had that one nailed, although I was surprised it was from a submission instead of TKO. I wanted to see the Liddel and Silva fight but I guess I'll get the chance to see that one later.
fightguy said:Wow! No one? It was such an awesome night of fights!?!?!?
fightguy said:You missed out! It was one of the best events in recent memory
Neomich said:Did anyone else actually think Brock stood a chance against Frank Mir last night? I think with enough time, Brock could be decent challenger but going up against someone like Mir on your first big fight just aint gonna work out to good for you.
People at the bar really thought he was going destroy Mir. Me, I called it pretty much like it went. I said it was going to finish fast and Mir was going to submit Brock.
Hopefully he keeps training, I'd like to see his wrestling in the octagon.
I wasn't sure what would happen, but I think Mir is a little lucky; he's also very slick with the submissions. Lesnar was pounding on him. A little more experience and I think Lesnar could be trouble for a lot of opponents. It was a tough first match for sure.Neomich said:Did anyone else actually think Brock stood a chance against Frank Mir last night?

Lil' Sparky said:Yeah, I think he was lucky he didn't get KO'd before he was able to grab that leg.
I thought the Silvia/Nogueira fight was better. He really had to work to get Silvia in a place where he could do his thing.
Those fights show how valuable BJJ skills are, especially against the big bruisers.

So, if anyone else is feeling my pain...

That fight was awful. Tank sucks so bad and Kimbo is going to get tooled against the first "real" opponent he hascapcrnch said:Kimbo vs. Tank is tonight..

RICLARK said:Your right it was a joke. Id like to see Kimbo fight someone like Fedor So I can stop hearing about how great he is.
rdwj said:He doesn't need to face Fedor to get schooled. Just a run-of-the-mill MMA guy should take him out easily. Kimbo is basically a sideshow. UFC should put him on their next Ultimate Fighter show. It would probably increase ratings and expose Kimbo for the joke he is.

capcrnch said:And yet, it looks like he is going to go up against Shamrock next.
Oh, not the younger Shamrock, we're talking about Ken.
That should be a great fight.
Note: Sarcasm.
RICLARK said:A lot of people were saying Brock Lesnar was a sideshow which was absurd.
There is absolutely no evidence that he has any semblance of a ground game. And the comparison to Lesnar is absurd, because Brock actually had some legitimate wrestling credentials before venturing into MMA.RICLARK said:I disagree with any Run-of the-mill Fighter will beat him, HE does have some ground skill he's training with Bas Rutten. A lot of people were saying Brock Lesnar was a sideshow which was absurd. But if they want to test Kimbo's hands they should not put him up against a mid 40's Fat guy like Tank Abbot, They should give someone like Vitor Belfort who came out and Smashed Tank, when everyone was afraid of him. I mean **** They will probably have Kimbo fight Don Frye next and let him keep beating up the senior citizens of the sport.

Oh, and Don Frye is fighting Oleg Taktarov on April 11th. That should be a war between two top athletes at the pinnacles of their game!RICLARK said:o came out and Smashed Tank, when everyone was afraid of him.

fightguy said:I'm not saying that you compared the two, but the comparison by anyone is retarded.
I'm just saying that training with Bas does not indicate that he has any sort of ground game. After all, Bas was primarily a stand up fighter and with the short period of time that Kimbo has been training on the ground I highly doubt that he has acquired a skill set that would keep him competitive in MMA. I would think that until he shows them you can't really say that "HE does" have ground skills, because in all likelihood he doesn't. Time will tell, but my money is on him getting completely outclassed by virtually any B-/C+ level fighter
fightguy said:As you know, anything can happen in MMA but my money would be on Herring. Of course, he might come in and just try to bang with Kimbo and get KTFO but the all around edge would have to go to Heath
