Kuri you have all the dirt, got anything on Bill or JP?

kuri · 10-02-2006, 03:13 PM

Hartman has no known dirt, other than his man crush on Sammy Hagar

JP however is very open in his past involving rubber balls.

Matt Serra is a great coach.

I hope he fights Shonie next week and punishes him.

kuri · 10-06-2006, 12:37 AM

Ah Shonie would just give him another spinning byatch slap

It was a pretty good fight tonight. Is it me or has Cote improved his ground game?

Jorge on the other hand didn't seem to be in the best condition. Or maybe it was that nice up kick cuz after that he was moving at half speed.

And does anyone else think Chuck's unique windmill punch may invite a broken hand? Watching that I was thinking that using that you'd probably connect with the top of the other guy's head. Ouch.

ko67 · 10-06-2006, 01:03 AM

He has definitely improved. i don't think Jorge did, that and he got clocked.

I just love listening to Matt's instructions during the fight. It is perfect. Just what a fighter needs to here when he is under duress. Simple, calm commands and encouragement. Beautiful coaching.

Chuck's punch could definitely lead to a broken hand, but if you do land it...

Lights out.

dos · 10-06-2006, 06:53 AM

I too loved the way Cote was able to listen to Matt and do exactly what he said. The problem was more that Jorge was not doing much in the guard therefore Cote was able to look at, listen to matt. If somebody is very active on top of you, and raining down hammer fists, elbows, shoulders etc. you won't be listening very well. I was surprised that Jorge fought so poorly although I kept thinking 'watch out for the up-kick' and then BANG,

Shonie is going to be a handful for ANYBODY in the semis....experience, experience, experience...

kuri · 10-08-2006, 01:11 PM

So who do you guys pick?

Welterweights:
Shonie Carter
Matt Serra
Chris Lytle
Din Thomas

Middleweights:
Patrick Cote
Pete Sell
Edwin Dewees
Travis Lutter

Obviously it depends on the matchups but Shonie can make anyone look bad with his style and sub defense. That said a good boxer such as Lytle is a bad matchup for him. Shonie might do best against Serra and Thomas.

I'm giving Cote as good a chance as anybody. I think he could take out Dewees and possibly Lutter. Sell might be a bad match for him though. However, Lutter's ground game could nullify Sell' sub attempts and Lutter could probably beat him standing.

That's what makes MMA so fun to watch.

ko67 · 10-08-2006, 08:13 PM

I think Din Thomas is the best all around.

I would not be surprised to see Serra fight Shonie in the semis. I think Dana want that fight as much as Serra.

Sell is going to be tough, but I think that it's anyones game in the middleweights.

Irishdazza · 10-09-2006, 04:08 AM

Serra and Dewess...don't ask me why on the Dewees!

Chris D · 10-09-2006, 02:57 PM

Lytle (for the hell of it) and Cote.

ReadyDad · 10-09-2006, 03:21 PM

If Shonie faces Serra or Din, he will lose -- but that winner will be too gone to win the next fight.

Cote gets it in the MW division.

ko67 · 10-12-2006, 11:21 PM

I have ABSOLUTELY no respect for Matt Hughes.

I hope St. Pierre chokes him out.

Irishdazza · 10-13-2006, 03:31 AM

Just caught up again...good fight. Was strange how often Cote looked away from the fight towards Serra for instruction!?!?

kuri · 10-13-2006, 11:33 AM

I only caught the fight and missed the first half, but ko, are you saying that Matt is acting like a good 'ol Midwestern jock? Now theres a shock

That was a good fight though. Lytle and Din both fought hard and you can't ask for more than that. Probably the best fight of the series. So far.

Better set your TiVos for Shonie vs. Serra! I have a feeling that's gonna be another classic.

dos · 10-13-2006, 12:24 PM

Pimp Shonie KO by spinning backfist! ; - )

Gotta be shitty for Serra to have to live with that punch on every fucking UFC highlight ever shown....

The "big lips flappin'"comment was just plain wrong.

It was a good fight, but I was expecting more from Thomas.

Irishdazza · 10-14-2006, 05:08 AM

Damn it! I'm another week behind and I just caught up yesterday!?!?

Patricia · 10-19-2006, 11:33 PM

Good fight. Serra almost got caught though.

Edit: Dammit using Pat's laptop.

This is really Ko.

getgot211 · 10-19-2006, 11:48 PM

that was probably the best fight of the season.

kuri · 10-20-2006, 11:33 AM

Definitely the best fight of the season. Shonie's escapes and reversals were so slick.

There is no way Dana will NOT have the rubber match on an upcoming PPV.

Patricia · 10-20-2006, 11:50 AM

Yup, definitely best fight of the season. Wholly agree with that sentiment.

(and this is really Patricia)

dos · 10-27-2006, 02:52 PM

BTW, Travis Lutter is one boring-ass fighter. He can't do what he did last night to either dewees or Cote....sure as hell aint gonna do that to Anderson Silva.

kuri · 10-27-2006, 03:49 PM

I thought Sell had better JJ than that. I agree that was a boring fight and was surprised they weren't stood up more. That said Lutter carried out his gameplan and dominated.

But yeah Dos, I don't see him going very far in the division if that's the extent of his skills.

ko67 · 10-27-2006, 11:00 PM

Lutter gassed big time, and his BJJ wasn't good enough to put Sell in danger.

Sell had just enough BJJ to stay alive, but not enough to get any offense going.

Boring.

Dewees looks tough, but it may be another bloody one.

Irishdazza · 10-28-2006, 06:42 PM

Caught up! Yup, the only take away is Matt Sera is a damn fine corner man -loud, positive, and aggressive! He can be in my cheering section any time!

But yes - the fight sucked!

dos · 11-03-2006, 12:24 PM

Man what a boring fight between bam-bam and cote! Looked like Dewees didn't even want to be there. Looked defeated from the get-go.

Finals will be good....I like Serra based on his experience although I think Lytle DEFINATELY has a well versed repertoire. This fight is a toss-up in my opinion. With Cote and Lutter, I think Lutter is as good a BJJ guy as anyone but if Cote can keep him standing (which I think he can), he will probably win a decision.

kuri · 11-03-2006, 01:37 PM

I'm picking Lytle and Cote. I see Lytle being able to nullify Serra's game and winning via stand up. Likewise for the Cote/Lutter fight. But in any case I don't see any of them challenging the top dogs.

And what's the deal with Dewees laughing while on his back getting smashed with elbows? If it were me I'd be shrimping like hell to try and get out of there.

I think there was an inside joke between the two about opening the cut on Bam-Bam's head.
