Karo looked great in the first round. But seeing how the second round went it seems thiago was finding his range. Something very curious about thiago. Anderson silva was always a good fighter but it wasn't until the last few years that he found his power. I'm wondering if thiago is the same animal. When i saw him hitting the pads when he was training at my gym he was a beast. Then i learned he cuts like 20 lbs of water. For a 170er that's incredible. Karo was more pissed that he has to wait even longer for his title shot. It wasn't as much of the stoppage imo.

Maynard was like HUGE compared to edgar. I never realized how small edgar was, probably cuz he was able to beat guys like tyson/spencer. Maybe if i had seen that i'd have picked Maynard. In any case i wonder how maynard would do against the wrestling and pace of a sherk. He's got some serious wrestling.

Joe lost cuz he wasn't used to the altitude plain and simple. First round he was doing all sorts of stuff to kenny and i felt he had the advantage. Second round he was gassed and kenny was in shape and against a bjjer of kenny's level he's just gonna mount you and own you. I've lived in colorado for like 11 years now so i don't notice the altitude anymore obviously but people who get here for the first time even if they are in shape are like "wtf" if you don't show up here at least a month or so in advanace or aren't already training high altitude that can be problemsome. I think Joe training in Hilo, HI paid the price for that.

Irvin vs houston went exactly like i predicted. Someone got knocked out in super fast time. But it was a coinflip.

Hammil won and i was pretty happy. After Tim's debut people thought he was gonna be some super beast. But i mean against hammil who's like so freaking strong at 205 i didn't know if that would be the case. Condiditioning played a part in this as Tim did his best to hurt hammil and couldn't finish him and Hammil got on top, i didn't think he'd stop Tim but nice job anyway Matt.

I'm going to do the card for the upcoming ufc as well i need to think it out a bit more though! Omaha is rough shit btw. Set vs wrap variance can get pretty gay.

you and i are in huge agreement on the fights too :D!

and the endurance required for MMA, which has actions like punching and kicking bone and muscle with 1000-2500 PSI. - Taco

It's sad to see Houston Alexander come crashing down to earth so violently. I thought that the elbows from Florian were illegal since I thought you couldn't hit the top of the head with elbows. What was that all about?

Raise me and die.

If you read the rules they are actually illegal blows. You are not allowed to com down from a 12 to 6 attack using the point of the elbow which is why he's doing.

i'll find a post where thsi guy breaks it down but basically it seems some of those strikes are illegal.
