Cool Video: Rousey vs. Carmouche thoughts…

Leave a comment

I didn’t watch UFC 157, last night because the ppv was a bit pricey. $55, so I couldn’t afford it. I only wanted to watch that ppv just for the women’s fight alone so I decided to wait for it to land on youtube. The video below is a bootleg video but you can still see it and hear it fine. So watch it quick before, UFC pulls it for copyright.

As I’ve been saying for a while now, I knew the women were going to put on an incredible fight, and they did exactly that. I had a blast watching this. Ronda is one tough chick. She may have used the arm bar technique a lot, but it was smart and she had a reason to do so in order to survive and get the win. Even though, Carmouche is more muscular and stronger, Ronda somehow managed to get the win, anyway, so this fight was impressive.

Yet, there are still a lot of jealous men in facebook hating on this fight, but they need to grow up and give the women a chance. I give props for Dana for doing something risky, and it’s a good thing he’s doing. It’s an opportunity for female fans of UFC and to help grow a larger fanbase with women. Women in UFC will be good for the business and the sport. Men may hate women in UFC now, but give it time. It’ll take a while to get used to and maybe men will respect the ladies fighting in the future.

Since, this fight was a major success, you can very well believe there will be many more women fights in the future. I’m sure there are a lot of angry women out there who want to take that title from Ronda now. So get used to it.

Thought: Sorry, but there are other guys more deserving for the UFC Hall of Fame than Tito Ortiz *yawn*…

6 Comments

I can’t believe they’re doing this but yeah, they’re doing it. Dana White, announced he is officially inducting UFC icon, Tito Ortiz, into the UFC Hall of Fame. I do know that the UFC Hall of Fame isn’t that big yet, they only have 8 inductees so far. I don’t like the idea of adding Tito to the Hall of Fame and I’m sure everyone else feels the same way. As the title of this topic says, there are other guys more deserving.

What about BJ Penn, Anderson Silva, George St. Pierre, Mirko Cro Cop, Frank Mir, Quinton Rampage Jackson, Forrest Griffin, etc.????

Tito is not a very good fighter, never was, plus, the guy is an asshole as well. Yes, the guy is an icon and legend, but he is a woman beater who don’t deserve to be rewarded like this. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who feels this way. I’m sure this angered a lot of UFC fans.

I haven’t been watching UFC ppv’s anymore. I still love the fights, would love to watch them still but the ppv’s are too fucking expensive. I had to stop watching them for that reason. I stopped watching UFC ever since the last Brock Lesnar fight.

What’s next for Brock Lesnar’s career? I can think of 5 possibilities…

Leave a comment

Brock Lesnar’s sudden retirement from UFC certainly got all the fans talking on what he’s going to do next in his professional career. The question we’re all wondering is, what is he planning to do next?

I can think of 5 possibilities…

  • WWE return – This is the most talked about, of course. As soon as he announced his retirement, a WWE return for Brock is all over the place online.
  • To be an author full time – His first memoir, “Deathclutch” was a success. I haven’t read his book yet but I’m meaning to read it soon. He could write books full time for a living.
  • Start an acting career for TV/Movies – UFC great, Randy Couture is already an actor, he has been for a long while. If Randy could be a successful actor out of UFC, so can Brock. Could Brock be a great action movie star? I can see it, yes.
  • Continue to work for UFC as interviewer or color commentator for fights or maybe become a trainer and manager for other fighters – I can definitely see Dana finding extra work for Brock if he chooses to continue to stay at UFC even if he won’t fight.
  • Retire from everything for good and just enjoy life with family – He could also not work at all and just enjoy the time for his family. He seems to love and care for his family too much. I’m sure he is already rich and loaded enough from his past WWE career (which I’m sure he still gets paychecks from) and UFC. So Brock will get by fine even if he won’t get work.

That’s all I can think of. Don’t get your hopes up on a WWE return, he could choose to do something else.

Thought: Did Sable talk Brock into retiring????

Leave a comment

Brock Lesnar, said he retired ’cause he made a promise to his family that he’ll hang it up if he lost his fight against Overeem last night. When Brock made the not so surprising announcement last night, I kept thinking that Brock and Sable must have had an argument about Brock continuing to fight even though he has health problems. If it wasn’t for Sable, I’m pretty sure, Brock would have kept his career going, because MMA and caged fighting is Brock’s passion. He gave it up ’cause his family wanted it.

Brock retiring wasn’t Dana White’s decision, it was all Brock’s himself. Dana would probably let him keep going if he wanted to.

So all this, tells me that Sable (Rena Mero), must of been extremely worried about Brock continuing to fight, so she talked him into retiring and begged him to stop. When Brock was out there, last night, he didn’t look very good. Something says about him that he isn’t really a 100% that he claimed.

Brock calling it quits was probably a smart move. If he kept going, he could get killed out in the Octagon.

Everyone is already wondering what’s next for Brock if he’ll go back to WWE or do other things in his career. Maybe he’ll do some acting in movies or he could continue to write books. He’ll find himself a new job ’cause he needs the money to take care of his family. It’ll be interesting to see what Brock is planning to do next.

If he goes to WWE full time, he’ll be away from his family a lot more, so I don’t think he’ll go for a full time run. Maybe a part time run.

BREAKING NEWS: UFC sues NY government, hoping to lift ban on MMA…

Leave a comment

It was former Governor, George Pataki that first signed the bill to make MMA caged fighting illegal in NY State. He did it because he felt that children shouldn’t be watching that violent sport.

Not too long ago, it was former Governor, David Patterson was the first to bring up the interest to help lift the ban on MMA in NY, just to help the State’s budget. The NY Government, kept denying the ban to get lifted in our state for a quite a while and this state continues to refuse to lift the ban to this day. We’re trying really hard to lift the ban on MMA caged fighting here, but no success.

Well, it’s pretty obvious that the UFC company have been keeping an eye on it, and now they are doing something about it themselves. Dana White’s, Zuffa LLC, and UFC Champs: Jon Jones, and Frankie Edgar sued the NY Government, hoping to get the ban lifted.

Read the full story, here.

This really shows that Dana really loves the New York fans. UFC is extremely popular here and it is unfair it’s banned here. What will our new governor, Andrew Cuomo, do about this? He was the one who helped lifted the ban on gay marriage here, could he do the same to MMA caged fighting? I really don’t like Gov. Cuomo too much but if he’ll un-ban MMA, he’ll get a lot of respect from me and I’ll have a change of heart with him. Hopefully our Governor will do the right thing. We NY’ers deserve our MMA.

When MMA becomes legal here, I would so like to see a UFC ppv event live. I’m sure UFC will do ppv events at the Times Union Center or the Glens Falls Civic Center, they’ll make their way there, but the first arena they’ll hit in NY is the Madison Square Garden.

This sport shouldn’t be banned anywhere at all.

Thought: Another Brock Lesnar in WWE thought…

Leave a comment

Since Vince McMahon is doing business with Dana White that he got Brock Lesnar as a playable character for “WWE 12” video game, there could be more projects with Lesnar for the WWE. Maybe a DVD of Brock Lesnar’s WWE career is coming up ahead and things like that. So this means that Vince and Brock are already on good terms. It just proves that Vince still likes Brock Lesnar after all these years despite that fallen out they had in the past.

Vince wants Brock back in WWE, it’s just that Dana doesn’t want to mess up Brock’s UFC career, understandably. Who knows, maybe Dana will allow Brock to make occasional WWE appearances, and not a full time run. Like they all say, anything is possible with the WWE.

Report: Brock Lesnar finally reveals if he will ever return to WWE or not…

Leave a comment

IGN.com did an interview with Brock Lesnar since he was included as a playable character for WWE’s “12” video game, and he was asked if he’ll ever return to WWE in the future.

Lesnar said:

“It would have to be under the right circumstances. I don’t know if Mr. McMahon and I could come to the right circumstances. If it was good for me and good for him I think that we could do something. At the end of the day, my life, my character and my profession – I take them very seriously. At the end of the day, if it doesn’t help me or my family out, and it doesn’t make sense for me to do, then I don’t do it. Everything would have to fall in the right place, but would I consider it? Absolutely.” 

More on it, here.

I think it could be possible that Brock could make a WWE return in the future too. Just give it time, if Lesnar keeps losing UFC fights and if Dana puts his UFC career to an end, I’m sure he’ll want to return to WWE then.

Vince and Brock may not be in good terms now, but they can always re-negotiate.

BREAKING NEWS: Brock Lesnar set to fight Alistair Overeem on Dec. 30th in Las Vegas…

Leave a comment

Well, once again, it looks like Brock Lesnar is about to make another UFC comeback. Is this Lesnar’s 2nd or 3rd comeback? Anyway, I lost count.

Lesnar is set to go against, Alistair Overeem, on Dec. 30th in Las Vegas.

More on it, here.

I never watched Strikeforce, but I heard a lot about, the Reem. I hear he’s a monster of a fighter and he’s a beast. While I do like Brock Lesnar, I’m rooting for the Reem on this one. Brock is just a wrestler and brawler, the Reem has more martial arts experience that includes kickboxing. Could Brock actually win again? Note sure, Brock lost miserably to Cain Velasquez the last time. I’m actually looking forward to this fight.

Report: Dave Batista opens his own MMA gym…

Leave a comment

Dave Batista’s MMA dream is dead? Not yet. Even though his “Strikeforce” deal is never happening, he is still doing whatever it takes to fight in the MMA. So to keep his dream alive, he just opened up his own MMA gym. He just opened an MMA training gym in Tampa, Florida called, “Gracie Fighter Jiu Jitsu”.

TMZ reports.

His “Strikeforce” dream maybe dead, but do you think Dave may have a chance at UFC??? Dave would certainly be headliner material in UFC. I can definitely see a Dave Batista vs. Brock Lesnar in a headlining UFC fight in the future for sure.

Much respect for Dave for going after his dream. If one door closes on a dream, more doors will open for him up ahead!

BREAKING NEWS: Lesnar is sick again!!!

Leave a comment

Shocking news broke today in the world of MMA. Yes, you heard that right. Brock Lesnar is sick again. He had a relapse of Diverticulitis, which forced his fight against Junior Dos Santos to be canceled at UFC 131. Shane Carwin is set to replace Brock for that fight.

More on it, here.

This is very sad. Look like we’re going to get another long break from Brock Lesnar in UFC. Even worse, his career could be over soon.

He really loved the company and was hoping for another title run. Look like another title run won’t happen for him anytime soon. I hope he gets well.

He’s not everyone’s favorite athlete. You either love him or hate him, but I respect him for a lot of reasons.
