IWWROCKS Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/265/blurcat.jpg Week 3, August 2012 TOP 10 STORIES OF "THE LAMBDEN ERA" Ever since Simon Lambden took over the UFC's presidential role back in January 2011, fans have been treated to the best fights, fighters and moments in the sport. With UFC 150 fast approaching, Blurcat will run down the top 10 stories and moments from Lambden's reign in charge. 10 - The Rise of Arinori Funibashi When unknown, 0-0 Japanese fighter Arinori Funibashi signed for the UFC, there was a lot of skepticism. He has proven the doubters wrong though, and is a feared welterweight just 5 fights into his career. The highlite of his record without doubt, is sending Matt Hughes to his retirment. To think that Funibashi retired the legend of Hughes just 2 fights into his proffesional career is shocking to say the least. Having finished 3 of his 5 opponents (2 via submission, 1 via TKO), the wrestler is seen as a future contender in the division, and already has a cult following big enough to see him as a mainstay on the main ppv cards.

IWWROCKS Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/265/blurcat.jpg Week 4, August 2012 Top 10 Stories of "The Lambden Era" 9 - Championship Weight Chaos Championship plans have been thrown into chaos twice in the last year and a half. Two times a challangers missed weight when in a championship bout, and both times that person went on to win. Forrest Griffin managed a decision win over Shogun, but that decision came in 3 rounds, not the 5 it would of been if he had not missed weight. Rumours swirled on the internet of a heated confrontation between the boss and the bittersweet feeling Griffin. Forrest wanted a rematch, Lambden wanted his head. In the end Griffin ended up moving to heavyweight where he has lost his only two fights in the time since. Dos Santos was seen as a tough welcome to Heavyweight life, but Heath Herring was a bit of a shock to the system. And most recently, Chael Sonnen, no stranger to controversy, finally made his way back into the title picture...and blew it. He got the win, also a 3 round decision, but his failure to meet weight meant current champion Leben retains but loses all the momentum he had. It is yet to be clear what Sonnen's fate is but expect it to be equally tough too Griffin's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWWROCKS Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Yeah just as a word of warning I do tend to stack my cards a little more than the UFC would because I run 1 a month, so have less cards to fit guys into. As for Mitrione, it's kind of a case of best available at the time. Fedor only has fought once (they'll be more on him in the top 10 series), others aren't ready to fight at this time, and one other ranked higher dosent have good enough name value to be on the main card let alone main event.

Are all the 0-0 regens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWWROCKS Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Yeah they are. I had a bit of a habit of signing regens when they first enter based on initial skills. Some worked out, some didn't. Now ive turned this game into a diary though, I wont be signing 0-0 regens unless they are crossover stars with bigger name value.

Both men too tentative to throw some strikes. Roberts wins the round at the end with a takedown and good pass to side control as time expired. Blurcat scores the round: 10-9 Roberts Round 2 Roberts takes down Krauss right away this time and attempts the Kimura but can not sink it and Krauss is able to get them back to their feet. Both men dodge and duck, still not letting their hands go. Krauss is able to block the next takedown attempt and the round is over. Blurcat scores the round: 10-9 Krauss Round 3 A quick end to this round as Krauss counters a low kick with two brutal right hands which drop Roberts.

Daniel “Ninja” Roberts via TKO (Strikes) in 1:02 of Round 3 (Decent) Dong Hyun Kim vs. Rick Story Round 1 Story quickly takes the fight to the ground with a powerful slam. He waits and waits, but eventually moves into side control with relative ease. An attempted arm triangle is blocked. Story hit’s a few knees to the side, forcing Kim to give up his back. Both hooks are in but the time is running out and Kim fights off the rear naked attempts to close it out. Blurcat scores the round 10-9 to Story Round 2 Story dodges some early strikes and shoots for the takedown but has to put up with pushing Kim against the fence. Now he gets the slam. De ja vu as he moves to side control and then takes the back. Hooks in, and this time he gets the choke applied. Kim taps. Rick “Horror” Story def.

They clinch, and Rogers is able to use his strength to push Cro Cop against the cage. A few foot stomps suffice for Rogers and then moves back. They grapple some more, and exchange some short but ineffective punches. Blurcat scores the round a very close 10-9 to Cro Cop Round 2 Both men come out swinging and Rogers gets clipped and falls down. Cro Cop rains down some strikes and Rogers turns giving up his back.

Out of nowhere Rogers hit’s a big right and knocks Cro Cop to the ground. Rogers ground and pound is good but not good enough and he has to settle for side control. Instantly he sets up an Americana, but it’s defended. Rogers takes the back. He goes for the rear naked, but Cro Cop brilliantly spins over into Rogers’ guard. The fight is over. Blurcat scores the round 10-9 to Rogers. Judge 1 scores the fight 29-28 to Rogers Judge 2 scores the fight 29-28 Cro Cop Judge 3 scores the fight 29-28 Rogers Brett “Grim” Rogers def.

Sherk hooks up with Miller again and pushes him to the cage as a dull first round ends. Blurcat scores the round 10-9 to Sherk Round 2 Same as the first round, Sherk pushes Miller up against the cage. He holds him there until the referee has to part them. Just like the first round Sherk then stuffs a takedown attempt and the round is over. Blurcat scores the round 10-9 to Sherk Round 3 They clinch and thankfully break before Sherk can excerpt his tactic. Sherk stuffs a couple of takedowns with the latter ending in another clinch. Here we go again, Miller is pressed against the cage. He hit’s a knee to the ribs. He holds him there for the rest of the round.

Cole “Margrinho” Miller via Unanimous Decision (Poor) Paulo Thiago vs. Nick Diaz Round 1 Diaz hit’s a hard kick to the side. Some missed strikes follow, and Diaz stares strongly into the eyes of Thiago. A roundhouse kick to the ribs hits from Diaz. Now he’s talking it up, asking Thiago to hit him. The bait isn’t taken and the round is over. Blurcat scores the round 10-9 to Diaz Round 2 Thiago is evasive, but when he moves in to grapple, can’t get close enough. Diaz shoots, and misses. They grapple and Thiago takes the dominant position. He pushes Diaz against the cage, but Diaz sinks in a standing guillotine. Thiago taps! Nick Diaz def.
