Phil Baroni signed with Titan Fighting Championship, whatever the hell that is!? Glad he's employed.

I don't care, I like the NYBA. I'll always remember that 18 second destruction of Dave Menne where afterwards Baroni hopped on the fence like "I'm the best, EVA!!!".

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Same here man, win or lose Phil brings it and puts on a show, weather hes punching someones face in or getting his face punched in Phil comes to fight.

 

[Devil_666]

And Strikeforce continues with their idiotic ways.

The SF HW title will NOT be on the line in their makeshift GP tournament. Instead.. the winner will get a newly created GP title and then a title shot.

Um.. so what if Overeem loses then?

Yeah.. he retains his title then faces the winner of the GP. Makes perfect sense. In crazy land. Just like Gomi when he'd lose non-title fights back in PRIDE FC. What a joke.

Then the other fishy aspects: They plan on having a 4th judge at ringside scoring the bout independently to determine who advances in the event of a draw. Maybe it's just me.. but I can see Fedor, Overeem, Barnett (if he even fights) and Arlovski ALL benefiting from this if they happen to fight to a draw. Because somehow I don't see that supposedly independent judge voting against Strikeforce's favorites.

Other thing is, there's also going to be 2 alternate bouts for replacements in case a fighter gets injured. Which is definitely a good idea. But NOW Coker says they'll have a panel that will determine who advances if a winning fighter gets injured: One of the alternates OR the fighter who lost. Huh!? The fighter that just lost.. will be considered as a replacement to advance!? Why even have bouts to determine alternates then!?

SF = assbackwards sometimes.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah I agree, that kind of stuff doesnt make sense to me. I remember watching Shooto a few months back and I dont remember his name, but he was one of there champions and it was a non-title fight and he lost. Not living up to the title of Champion and out of sheer respect for Shooto he gave the belt back when he didnt really have to at all. Major props to him for doing that. I was really surprised by his actions, but thought it was cool that he did it.

When a champion loses non-title or not...the champion lost and in my opinion is no longer champion.

So its like an interim belt ... even though they dont need one. Strikeforce is runned by chimps.

Lol....who the hell comes up with these rules, and who else gives the thumbs up and says it's a good idea???

Met Baroni at an event a few years ago. The dude is just awesome. Signed auto's and took picks with a ton of us.


I'm a Baroni fan for life.

 

[NASEDO]

I could care less about belts I just wanna see the fights happen,

As far as Borni, I never liked him. Thought he was a "C" level fighter at best. UFC had to let him go.

If only Strikeforce felt that same way.

UFC Fight Night 24 (March 26)
Tito Ortiz vs. Lil Nog

Tito is on a 4 fight losing streak and hasn't had a win since 2006. And that was over Ken Shamrock. After he gets raped by Lil Nog will he just retire or will he get cut and sign with a smaller org? I think he could actually be LHW champ in Strikeforce.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah I have a feeling he'll lose again. I mean he just doesnt have much going for him anymore. His gnp is outdated and his striking is sub par and well, lil Nog is going to more than likely lay him out on the feet.

 

[NosferatuBill36]

Tito has never been KO'ed if I'm not mistaken(TKO'ed, yes, but not KTFO) and has always had a great chin.

I do think Nog will take it, but Tito always has a chance...

 

[Devil_666]

Well Tito could always mimic Bader and win like that I guess.

Lol...Yeah I almost feel bad for Tito. He's like Rocky except that he keeps losing.

 

[NosferatuBill36]

True. But Bader has sick one punch KO power.

Tito's power probably ranges a slight notch above Griffin's.

5 year old girl's fists > Griffin's fists

 

[TOE]

it's official. Jose Aldo will be fighting in UFC 129.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah Im so looking foward to watching Aldo again. That guy is fantastic. That guys striking and foot work are just on another level.

 

[azurepred]

its a good thing he didnt fight Grispi, that would have been a quick fight. Hopefully, they put someone in their that can at least make it out of the first with Aldo.
