Jose Aldo is for real

April 26th 2010 14:09

The WEC featherweight title was on the line Saturday night. In one of the most explosive mixed martial arts events ever, featherweight champion and Brazilian phenom Jose Aldo makes the first defense of his title when he takes on former world champion “The California Kid” Urijah Faber

The fight opened up with these two great fighters really respecting each others talent. But Jose Aldo used his range and his premier Maui Tai strikes and did a number on Urijah's right leg. In the midst of the second round after taking numerous leg kicks, Urijah was sent to the canvas after a horrific blow to the right quad. Aldo was chopping down the tree that was the California Kid. These leg kicks totally immobilized Urijah hindering his explosiveness and striking.

The latter rounds Aldo was still teeing off on Faber's legs and caused Urijah to have to switch stances because his inability to withstand the leg blows. Urijah was unable to fight to his strength which is explosiveness and creative striking. Aldo crippled him with the leg shots and caused Urijah to try and take the fight to the ground. Unable to explode into a double leg, Urijah was powerless. Jose Aldo sent Urijah to the canvas late in the fourth round and got him in a mounted crucifix and rained down elbows and shots to Urijah's face. He wasn't able to explode out of the mount and spent the final minute plus of the fourth round just trying to survive the barrage of blows Aldo was firing down on his forehead.

Mounted Crucifix

The fifth round Urijah was completely incapable of landing blows to Aldo and was continually dropped to the canvas with leg kicks. The round ended and the decision went unanimously to Jose Aldo. Aldo is beginning to solidify himself as one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world.

And New Lightweight Champion..

April 12th 2010 02:22

Holy Shit. Well people, I am certainly not going to say that I predicted this. After watching my man BJ pick apart Diego in his last championship fight I wasn't giving this kid a god damn chance.

Shane Mac, you want a shout out, so here it is. You did not call this fight, so I cannot give you that much props, but I will say you are the only person I know that gave Frankie "the answer" Edgar a chance. You called that the only way he could win would be to stick and move and win by points. And that is what he did. Edgar looked fantastic. He came in there looking confident. The first thing I look for in a fight is whether they come out at the start and dap each other up. Not that it has any deciding factor in the fight, I just want to see 2 guys in there who are ready to kick the shit out of each other as soon as that bell rings. They aren't suppose to be friends in the ring, they can save the comrodery for afterwards. And this is exactly what happened, they came out ready to bang.

The fight went 5 rounds. Each round was spent on the feet. They were bangin right away and didn't stop all fight. Edgar got stuffed on the majority of his take down attempts, but did manage to scoop Penn once. He was the first fighter in lightweight history to take BJ down. Even though BJ got right back to his feet after the one take down, it shows the heart and ability that this kid has.

Usually when Penn is fighting in lightweight it looks as if the challenger doesn't even deserve to be in the same building. But Frankie looked as if he knew he was going to win. He was in there throwing his quick combos and using every inch of the ring to stick and move.

I don't have much to add. I was amazed by Frankie's performance. The fight was spectacular. Penn looked great, but Edgar looked better. The better fighter on that night won. And I am looking forward to this rematch more than any other fight I can think of. Let's see it Dana.

Anderson Silva disgraces Main Event

April 12th 2010 01:54

A live crowd, in Abu Dhabi, "ferrari world" which paid a total enterance cost of $3.5 million as well as the hundreds of thousands of people who purchased the pay-per-view, would have posted their tickets on craigslist after the BJ Penn vs Frankie Edgar fight if anyone was able to forsee the asshole performance put on by the so called best fighter on the planet.

Anderson Silva completely disgraced the UFC last night. I'm not sure if the spider is familiar that the UFC stands for the ultimate fighting championship, and not the world wrestling federation. I mean this asshole as been in the UFC for years now and he still can't speak a word of fuckin english. But none the less. His performance would have been an epic main event at Wrestlemania. But the UFC is no fuckin Wrestlemania. The antics were decently entertaining in the opening round. We realize that he is a dominant fighter and he shows no one respect. Which I love to see. But to the extent that this mother fucker did is utterly unexceptable.

The break between the 4th and 5th round UFC President, Dana White left his seat with Silva's belt and threw it at his manager. After a brief explosion of obscenities towards Silva's manager, Ed Soars, White wanted nothing to do with presenting Silva his belt. White was sick to his stomach by the disrespectful performance put on by Silva.

“I’ll answer the questions about what a disgrace the main event was and what an embarrassment it is,” White said almost immediately upon taking the lectern postfight. “I don’t think I’ve ever been more embarrassed in 10 years of being in this business. It’s the first time I’ve ever walked out of a main event.” - Dana White

LEARN FUCKIN ENGLISH

“Unfortunately, not every fight turns out the way everyone would like,” Silva said through Soares, who was interpreting for him. “I came here well-trained, but Demian disrespected me, not as a person, but he disrespected me as a fighter. I take that very seriously. I came here to do my job, which was to beat him up and punish him. That’s exactly what I did.” ...Well first of all no one knows what the fuck Silva actually said because his interpreter says what ever he probably thinks is best. And wanna talk about disrepected? What in the world were you doing in there Anderson? What you were doing wasnt disrespectful? Not only to Maia but to everyone who spent their money on watchin your ass clown around.

Silva dodged the question several times, but finally said vaguely that he felt Maia disrespected him in prefight interviews when Maia, a jiu-jitsu black belt, talked about breaking his arm. What did you expect? He is a 2 time world Jui-Jitsu champion. No shit he wanted to submit you.

“The way I feel, my mission was completed,” Silva said. “I came in and dominated the fight and did what I had to do. That’s how I feel.” Dominated the fight? Fuck off dude. You ran like a pussy for the final 2 rounds. You had the chance to make good on your clown act but instead you delayed the fight by horsing around. An absolutely fuckin pathetic performance.

Silva was landing shots at will in the first 2 rounds. While he was dickin' around none the less. He had a far more varied attack and broke Maia’s nose with a flying knee in the second. Maia's face was lumped up and bloody, but the kid kept moving forward. He tried to stick with his game plan which was clearly to impose his fantastic ground game. I know if I had some asshole jumping around like a fuckin idiot infront of me, I'd lose it.

Silva cost himself a big chunk of his reputation as well as a lot of money. He lost the respect of the ownership of the UFC, who were embarrassed in front of their new partners, the investment group from Abu Dhabi who bought a reported 10 percent of the company. And we know you don't want to fuckin with Dana and his cake. He's all about the paper Anderson. Don't be surprised if you'll be fighting for free for the troops. White said that Silva may be the first champion to be fighting on the under card.
