A Great way to kick off 2010!
ubereem would ko the shit out of broke
Giving us a little Moby, not bad big man
@xkillaz18x Yvel was far from “alright” Most KO’s only last a split second. sure he was movin around, but he was on auto pilot… dont come bak wit ima hater or ne thing, ima HUGE Gilbert fan, but my “FAN-NESS” dosent ever cloud my judgement on a fight… cheers.
when u look at middle weight fights and what not…like the cung lee vs scott smith…cung lee was hammering hammer punches to him on the ground and yet the fight went on not stopped…i really feel there should be a 5 second window of oppertunity to get in or get out when in a bad situations b4 the ref calls it….look at when he fought pedro lol….who ever agrees with that stoppage well i guess yahs never seen enough fights when some1 is in a bad situation…puh
bad stoppage with yvel….u cant compare the ref with the bouncers either…its either get KO or tapped out and yvel never had the chance to get out or get KO…he got clipped by one alright punch whoopy….and u can cleary see he was fine right after the ref called it…this aint at a bar were peoples a drinking an u need to break fights up
Whats the music called at the start of the video?
Rampage lost to leg kicks from forrest Griffin and many say Rampage should have kept the belt. I’ll agree about Jardine but sometimes Keith fights well. Nobody can knockout dan henderson that guy has been finished only by submission. Also many say Rashad was losing until he trapped forrest in the end. I think enough was said in the video: Rashad better be careful.
Frank Mir is inconsistent: had a heavily bandaged leg, couldn’t get out of a hold wrestling trainers can get out of, and was acting like Brock was just supposed to lose to him for some reason. For me Brock would have beaten him regardless, but when Mir loses he sometimes loses badly.
I agree with JDS being able to defeat Brock. JDS has very effective and showstopper standup, agility, speed, Blackhouse teammates, and he appears ready for a lot more. Sometimes weight is not everything.
idk if its only me but id definatly watch more of your vides if they were around 10 min long talking about 1 card
Not a fan of Lesner. But how can you say these guys would beat Brock? And I am a big fan, so I’m not hating. But lets be real, Dos Santos is what? 238 it says where I look. Mir at 255 (also BJJ fighter) was taken down and controlled and beaten. Unless any non wrestler catches Lesner when he’s coming in, how can you say they win? All these guys have chances, but I can’t say any, outside of Fedor that I would say would beat Brock.
Thing about Rampage is what if he comes in pretty rusty after the layoff? He hasn’t fought since 96. Look what happened in the Forrest fight. If ready to go I pick Rampage no doubt though. Also…T. Silva is pretty overrated, never going to be a contender, but will always be able to beat the mid level fighters. Pretty much like a Jardine..who he beat.
yo whats happening im 22 year old kid wanting to do mma ive just started wrestling in the uk can anybody tell me whats the best training i need to do to become a well rounded mma fighter
Ramapage has as many KO’s as Rashad has wins, and sayign he couldnt ko hendo is dumb no one has ever koed or even tkoed hendo, and if you truly believe rashad has better chance at koing rampage ur a moron. Rashads only chance is outwrestle him
chicken ass win for rashad
I seem to be the only one that thinks Rashad’s performance was not impressive. All he did was remind us that he was a wrestler. Rashad took Silva down for the first two rounds but, Silva got right back up and Rashad did little to no damage. Thiago was the only one who inflicted visible damage. When Rashad got rocked in the third, the whole sports bar went crazy because they wanted him to go down. Boring main event. Did Rashad deserve the win? Yes. Did he impress anyone? No.
you act as if Rampage is a KO machine but Rampage couldn’t knock out Keith Jardine even though everyone else has, he couldn’t knockout Dan Henderson & he lost to Forrest Griffen. Rashad knocked out Forrest Griffen. Rashad Evans poses more of a threat knocking out Rampage then Rampage knocking out Rashad.
Rampage will k0 Rashad, Rashad dosnt have half the chin of Rampage or half the striking abilities. Rampage has enough wrestling to be able to keep it up or get back up if he gets takendown
@quicken02 yea me 2
@Keith2800 maybe the black belt he got was a real black belt that u wear with dress pants
No.
HAHAHA
I still think Rashad will beat Rampage, probably by a decision but I think he will rock Rampage a few times in that fight. I agree with Rashad when he said Rampage is to slow, Rashad’s speed with be a huge factor against Rampage. Rashad “Purple Nurple” Evans FTW!!!!!!!!
It’s was his first day as a blackbelt give the guy a break. Thiago has been a blackbelt for how long now and when was the last time you saw him sub some guy??? The fact is why would you try jj on someone who has been doing it for much longer then you? Thats like Hazelett trying to strike with Daley and you know how that ended.
i completely agree about junior… i said it for a while.. his striking is so good
Dude I was LAUGHING MY A*** OFF during your Munoz stint. AHAHA man you are THE MAN.
Thanks for making me laugh my a** off.
