Its the fastest growing sport in the world, any fans?

I'm a big fan of Urijah Faber, devastated to see him lose to Mike Brown again last night after dominating him in the first round only to break his hand and have to resort to throwing elbows the rest of the fight. Seeing Jose Aldo win in 8 seconds after one flying knee to Cub Swanson's face.

Who are your favorites?

[CROoney]

hopefully cro cop will come back stronger and demolish that british fella


highly doubt it he'll make it there tbh

he's passed it

[dlan4327]

[CROoney]

Any vids of those fights?

I'd suspect they'd already be taken down by now. All I can find are the trailers for stuff. CroCop is way passed it, and he was never on Fedor's level anyway.

no one was, and especailly not anyone from the UFC tbh

and the fact that he was amoung the top 3 at some point of his career is enough i think


btw he was the only one who gave him at least some beating ( fedor confessed it himself ), and i think he is still along with minotaur the only one who lost by decision... I just wish he has been better prepared for that match

Cro Cop's ground game was awful, as most of the guys with kickboxing training. Pound for pound, Mirko wasn't even close to people in terms of technical ability. He's just ridiculously strong, and has that crazy left high kick.

I've never actually watched this, but It does look really awesome. Is this shown in the UK? If so what time, channel & day.

I'd imagine it should be, there's a show called UFC: USA vs. UK, it'd be pretty weird if they didn't show it there. Sorry I can't be of much help otherwise though.

Oh yeah. I know of the USA vs UK. Its been on for a few weeks. I'm gonna have to catch up with that.

Its a good show, its a shame Mike Bisping is the only guy the UK could get to coach. Nobody likes a scouser.

[rydersonthestorm]

How is bisping a scouser he was born in cyprus and used to live in lancashire, he just fights out of the wolfslair gym in liverpool. I have trained with bisping and dan hardy before when i lived in nottingham with coach paul lloyd davis.
My favourite current fighter is probably eddie alvarez his fight against hellboy hansen last year was amazing.

Fight out of Liverpool, you're a Scouser in my book.

Faber v. Brown II was a war, Urijah would have won had he not broke/dislocated both hands.

What fighting style would you say you are since you've trained with them? I'm taking Brazilian ju-jitsu in a week.

You are not born in liverpool and only train there not a scouser in my book.
Not sure faber would have won without the broken hand, as third fight is a must though.
I prefer striking to grappling but mma is the style nothing specific.
Also nice win by dan hardy last night.

[dlan4327]

This is MMA in all it's crotch breaking, tea bagging glory.

I agree, rumor is its gonna be Brown v. Aldo and Faber v. Grispi with the winners squaring off. I think he'd have definitely won, he was hammering him with those rights in the early going, not to mention he had the guillotine all but cinched near the end but he couldn't finish it because his hands were too messed up.

[piazza]

Was the finale of USA v. UK on last night in the UK as well?

And did anyone catch Guida vs. Sanchez? What a war that was! One of the fights of the year for sure.

have you heard bisping talk ?????? sounds more like chorlton of the wheelies crossed with geoff boycott --- he couldnt be less scouse if he tried --- i love the way he has been winding the yanks up btw

It was pretty damn hilarious. Especially the part where he gave the interview and said "I just love winning, and I tend to talk a lot when I do" which is hilarious considering he didn't fight.

Can't wait to see Henderson kick his ass though.
