Blackman Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 <p>The latest TUF announcement got me excited.

I honestly believed she was going to do it, but now he have a still largely untested Rousey who is yet to be hit multiple times in the face. But Holm is not ready for her now. It's going to be a dark year for the division.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to knock out rookie on the regional circuit, it's an other thing to knock out the best.

Kingster Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Woohoo! Gustafsson vs. Teixeira here in Berlin. That's a great fight and probably one of the biggest fights you could have made for a Fight Pass card in Germany. Considering how the card for the Poland event looks like, I had deep fears for Berlin. Hopefully they add a couple more interesting fights, but seeing Gus fight already sells it for me.

Blackman Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 The Poland guys don't care about name value. But there's Crocop involved so I'm sure it'll sell out one way or another. There was also a Polish woman who was doing well, but that might've been in Invicta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBE, they should put her on the card for a show in Poland/Germany (I don't know if the german like the polish ?) It's not like the Strawweight title is "big" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackman Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Dear God, it's actually happening! Rousey vs Mayweather set in november. Omg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I don't care too much about an over-the-hill Crocop. I'm interested in the fight, but not enough that I'd have bought a ticket for the Krakow event. As for a strawweight title fight: I had hoped they would put it on the Berlin card: Joanna vs. Calderwood or Gadelha would have made sense and it would have been perfect timing, too. Both Gadelha and Calderwood fight in April and should win their respective fights if everything goes as expected. Then a quick turnaround for one of them to fight in June and there we go. But on the other hand, I'm not sure if the event would sell that well with a female main event, even if it's for the title. Germans like heavy guys throwing bombs at each other. Dear God, it's actually happening! Rousey vs Mayweather set in november. Omg! Sorry, that's bullshit. Rousey will actually fight Seth Rollins for the WWE Championship at Summerslam.

Blackman Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they got both Rousey and Mayweather for a fake MMA gig on one of the next Mania's. Both have had their respective 'moments' in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synticha Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 So... Cro Cop actually TKOs Gonzaga. The first two rounds were horrible but he showed true killer instinct going for the elbows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 That cut on Gonzaga's face looked like Cro Cop hit him with an axe. Nasty! And I need to take back my statement I made on the previous page. Cro Cop didn't look over-the-hill at all. More like on top of the hill and not willing to climb down anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celuwyn Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Good strategy by Cro cop. let Gonzaga run out of stamina and then elbow him to the death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Maybe they took a risk with the matchmaking, but I'm sure everyone in the arena got their money's worth after that one. What an brutal KO (not that Gonzaga was defending well). And what a disappointment for Jo-Jo. Is there actually someone from the TUF women who's doing well?

Blackman Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Apparently CroCop is also 6-0 in rematches. Is that good gameplanning skills or just smart matchmaking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celuwyn Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Apparently CroCop is also 6-0 in rematches. Is that good gameplanning skills or just smart matchmaking? Second choice. First match : Fujita. Well.. do we need and explanation to this ? Second match : Wanderlei Silva. That was in special rules, and for a lot of people (me inclured) Wanderlei murdered Cro cop (with zero experience). Rematch ? Cro cop was using kicks, and boum head kick. He was MUCH LARGER, and with experience this time. Let's not forget that Wanderlei has takedown Cro cop in the first match lol. Third match : Kevin Randleman. Cro cop was leading, and boum left cross it's over. this is what i call a lucky punch. Rematch ? done in under 50 sec. Cro cop took no risk this time, he knows the power of Randleman. Fourth match : Gabriel Gonzaga. If i recall, Gonzaga was tipped as the "next legend" in UFC HW before getting attached to the cage by Couture. Cro cop was confiant, left kick in preparation, and BOUM. fight over Rematch ? : Cro cop know that Gonzaga has a weak cardio. He let Gonzaga run out of gas.. and bam elbow of death There also the two win over Josh Barnett. But it's really the only occurence where i call it a real win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Bellator 136 had a Von Flue choke. The best thing is that the ref was oblivious to it. The fighter basically had to call him and communicate that he was out, and it took a while before he confirmed it. Gods... What do they expect? That they beat an unconscious man to shreds?

Celuwyn Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Just.. Wow. it was the last thing to expect for Machida vs Rockhold.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synticha Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Just.. Wow. it was the last thing to expect for Machida vs Rockhold.. Yea. I was sure Rockhold would just be a worse version of Weidman but he actually proved me very wrong. Great ground control and good GnP. Machida seemed to be completely out of it in the second so no surprise it ended there! Weidman will still blast through Rockhold. Maybe it's time for Lyoto to start the true later part of his career and look for good fights and forget the title picture. Shame really.
