its legal in MMA, illegal in K1 because they think its OP

and brown is a retard lol..

that was awesome

----------

Erick Silva had to be taken out of the octagon via stretcher. He's in the hospital right now.

matt brown would finish gsp

"Erick Silva still being worked on in the cage. Lights have been dimmed and he is still laying in the cage with people surrounding him."

This was taken just after the fight ended. Dana White said Silva was taken to the hospital after the fight to check for a "concussion and possible fractured jaw." That kid needs to take a year off and tweak his skill set, or just retire. He is a beast if he gets on top of you but, he isn't too dangerous when he's on his back, and... He brawls when he's on his feet and takes a lot of damage. I mentioned earlier in this thread that Silva's striking defense sucks, and he proved it once again tonight.

Hopefully his coach (Wallid Ismail) doesn't force him to do anything stupid, cuz Silva will listen to whatever he says and continue getting hurt in the cage.

+ Show Spoiler +

where are the .gifs?

missed the event

Not that I disagree that his strikign defense sucks but we didnt even get to see any kind of defense, he was absolutelly exhausted as soon as he lost the back, he was just a clumsy punching bag running and stumbling from side to side of the cage.


His corner is absolutely retarded (but i think most corners are), those idiots kept telling him "dont fight up close" no shit sherlock, obviously Brown is bum rushing him, your guy has 0 left in the tank and his only out is to kick the body again, een if its expected just swing it like a bat to the ribs and you might win, they should have told him to do that and they also should have that towel ready, their corner should have stopped the fight way before he got taken down.

The guy who made the gifs for every event recently stopped cuz the UFC told him to. I'm not sure what other information there is with the story but, we'll have to wait until a new person eventually takes his place.

where can i find good quality streams now?

mmashare is where i watch fights after an event.

and i read that silva had a nose issue (not sure if it was an injury or an illness) that turned him into a literal mouthbreather (as if hes not already dumb enough) which likely made his already bad cardio even worse.

k1 outlawed the thai clinch and made a "one hand clinch then release rule" because overeem was destroying opponents with just that and fights become pretty shitty one sided reem clinching events. i read it somewhere before which made me believe overeem was legit. i was so wrong lol.

Real talk, if Erick Silva wasn't extremely handsome, nobody would give a fuck about him.

He's considered handsome? Reallllllly? I find his haircut to be extremely tilting... He looks like he should be wearing bell bottom pants.

Horiguchi vs Montague was awesome, Montague is tough as fuck. Main event was awesome, not sure how Erick Silva didn't die in round 2.

Thought it was because of Buakaw murder-death-killing Masato...

Won straight bet on Brown + brown by KO/TKO and a straight bet on Costas. Also had a pretty big parlay with brown/costas/daron/soa/wineland :#

Well, he's no FrozenArbiter but, many fans think he's handsome and still call him a prospect. Dana White keeps trying to push him to be a star, but he can't win more than one fight in a row against low level competition, as we saw last night.

It's pretty crazy when you think about it. Erick beat a late replacement fighter whom they hired to get destroyed, and then with that one win, they have him headline a card against the #7 ranked fighter who is on a 6-fight win streak.

Well I think Dana just sees what many of us did, he has a huge natural talent, but he has issues so big that eclipse any talent he has.

Everybody is praising brown and shit and tbh im not impressed, he got destroyed early in the 1st round and then all he did was just swarm a punching bag, so im impressed by his resilence and his cardio, but nothing more.

well, i bet his next opponent is going to hit him to the body
