[daikkenaurora]

I can't wait

Picking Machida

I'm not sure who I want to win I just wanna see a good fight which I think we will. Machida is on the fence right now. Hope he trained like a beast.

Don't you mean Mosley>Clottey

My bad. Yeah.

The biggest thing I have always hated about boxing is the seemingly 100's of divisions it has, its like their compensating for something. Its not very impressive for a champion to have a crap load of titles when you only have to put on like 3lbs to go up or down a division. That can done in one day.

Yeah.. not to mention the bazillion "World" titles each division has. I still love Boxing though.

It looks like Jon Jones vs. Vladimir Matyushenko at UFC on VS. 2.

This is one of those hard to watch fights for me. I'm a big fan of both fighters, and I don't want to see either one lose. Jones will destroy of course.

Damn on VS again. Wish I had that channel. Guess I'll have to wait and watch it online.

Jones is going to fire the Janitor. lol

5-21-10 - Tim Sylvia vs. Mariusz Pudzianowski (5x World's Strongest Man) in a freak show fight.

This is a pic of Pudz in case no one knows who he is:

Also:

Ricco Rodriguez beat Travis Fulton by head kick this weekend.

KTFO!

Ricco's riding a 6 fight win streak and he's down to like 215 - 220 lbs looking to make his debut at 205 (LHW) soon. Seems to be getting back on track. A far cry from a couple years ago:

I think I love this chick

I wanna see Pudz in the UFC, that full is huge............its ridiculous

 

[kobayashi93]

I'm looking forward to the Pudz fight.

Ricco was pimping his own UFC 103 after party when I was at the weigh ins. The floor was littered with the promo cards he was handing out. It's good that he has gotten himself back in shape.

And believe it or not, but Travis Fulton actually disputes the stoppage.

Interesting article with Erin Toughill:

https://www.fiveknuckles.com/mma-ne...g-I-dont-think-shes-the-greatest-fighter.html

FiveKnuckles.com: Are you ready to go for your next fight? When will it be... I've been hearing some buzz about it.

Erin Toughill: I don't know. I don't know anything. When I pulled out in November 2009, I said I'd be ready to fight in January. And you know what they told me? I might not fight for SIX MONTHS. SIX MONTHS? So that is why I asked to fight for another promotion (still being under contract with Strikeforce) and the let me fight for FCF in late January. And you know, that did not work out either. Some people with Strikeforce were holding up the process for weeks. It was basic stuff that could have been handled, but it was put off for weeks. So by the time it got closer to a fight, then it got harder and harder to find an opponent. Potential opponents were still given four/five weeks to train, and seven people STILL said no. So I trained six weeks (again) for another fight that did not go through.

I was not fighting for money, because if people knew what I was getting paid they would be blown away. I was fighting because this is a passion of mine and I NEED to stay busy as a fighter. Then I still get flack because people are questioning my "level" of opponents that were being asked lol. All these women had experience; all these women has several fights or more; and several of the women we asked were in the TOP TEN in particular weight classes. I find this sport to be more and more disappointing because lots of women "say" they wanna fight...but they don't really want to.

For those who do NOT know, Showtime has the final say for Strikeforce, so they pulled me again for this April card in Nashville, TN. So I had done ANOTHER FIVE WEEK camp, and then I'm told (again) I might not be fighting. This was the THIRD time this happened with Strikeforce, and this is what prompted me to "pull out" completely from Strikeforce because I could not handle this anymore. So I plan to fight in the coming months, but I cannot say who it will be for, because I do not know. And frankly, I do not care; just want to FIGHT. People just really need to stop coming down on me, especially for this most recent April fight. It goes all the way back to Gina vs. Cyborg undercard! I was ON the website, on the card... Toughill vs. TBA. They never sent me a bout agreement because they decided not to use me. Then I was a "stand in" for that card; I was never sent an agreement of any kind.

In November 2009, I pulled out for a LEGIT INJURY. In January, I was stopped from fighting for the THIRD time. The final one was this April Strikeforce card. In late February, I was told I was going to fight... then weeks before? Once again, told I was "not fighting." But when I pulled out completely, they said they had an opponent. They did not have one at that time and my representative was not informing me correctly, which once again, led to miscommunication and me not fighting for the FOURTH time. What people need to know, is Scott Coker does not make these decisions - it is SHOWTIME. So Showtime has basically pulled me from all these cards, yet people are wondering "WHY" I could not take it anymore? LOL

How can someone train for nine months straight, have FIVE fights fall through, put their whole life on hold and just train... and not make a single dime? I could not keep going; I needed a break. I was financially, emotionally and physically tapped out. So perhaps people can open their eyes and realize if I could snap a finger and have a fight - I would. But I do not have control of this nor does Scott. SHOWTIME decides. This is also "why" they barely have any females on their roster and "why" we are barely on any cards. A lot of fighters are going through the same thing as I am, and it's really unfortunate.

I think A LOT of people don't get that. CBS Corporation runs Strikeforce when it comes to televised events. They call all the shots, make all the decisions and have the final say in what airs and what doesn't. Not Scott Coker. CBS Corporation wanted Gus Johnson doing PBP. Not Scott Coker. Basically the sacrifice for Strikeforce being on network TV is Scott Coker gave up the right to run HIS OWN company.

Forrest Griffin has withdrawn from a co-headlining light heavyweight contest against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC 114 on May 29 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

TMZ.com was the first to report that the former UFC light heavyweight champion has bowed out with a shoulder injury

1. That sucks.

2. What's up with TMZ all of sudden reporting/covering MMA heavily!? I mean it's cool.. but kinda weird.

 

[915stag51]

Forrest out is a good thing IMO, he is boring to watch...

 

[Devil_666]

I was actually looking forward to seeing lil Nog whupping that ass.

Yeah, I bet he was gonna run out of the ring again after that ass whuupin....

 

[daikkenaurora]

Yeah, I bet he was gonna run out of the ring again after that ass whuupin....

bye forrest. He would have gotten beaten anyway.

 

[kobayashi93]

Lame. That was my most anticipated fight this month.

I don't know why, but I really don't care about this weekend's fights. Maybe Kos vs Daley, but meh to the rest.

what about the rematch? You dont care about that?

And dont you want to see Kimbo gas out in the 1st round?

 

[kobayashi93]

Not that much, I'm still going to go see it... I think Machida is going to take home a decision. Machida and Shogun haven't done much for me lately. I'm a Kimbo hater, so I guess I wouldn't mind seeing him get whooped. ...but who knows how good or bad Meathead is.

As of right now it's all about Rampage vs Evans for me.

Nash this is for you. Not sure if you have it or not, but for the price it might be worth picking up a second.
