Did you bump your head and forget about Rich Franklin???

Diego Sanchez has dominated everyone he has faced including Nick Diaz who is a warrior (KO'd Lawler).
I think Mike Swick will prove to be the real deal as well.

[wedgylx]

if you like MMA you should watch Pride instead of UFC. The fighters ar emuch bigger and much more talented in Pride.

My favorite style has to be BJJ.

My favorite fighters are Shogun and CroCop

[Cyber Ninja]

Saku is the man! Liddell is also great to watch, never know when he's gonna KO someone. Back in the old days, Ken Shamrock used to be the man. Never really liked the Gracies though... probably one of the reason's why Sakuraba is so likeable. Ha Ha Ha.

I do like Pride, I don't get to see it as often cause its not on TV like the UFC is, I have a bunch of UFC DVDs, but I want some of Pride too, cause I love Wandy Silva.

[Dizzle1]

Like it , I did it for a long time.

Any predictions on the Hughes vs. Gracie fight? I say Hughes via submission.

Yeah should be a good fight but hughes is so strong and gifted, I take hughes by submission, now if it were the young gracie I would take him.

What about my boy Andrei vs Slyvia? I say Andrei by TKO(strikes) this time.

[italionstallionl]

I got to see a GFC event and it was a ton of fun. A bunch of the gracies fought, and a lot of them lost. I was only impressed by one of them, i have no idea which one, but the guy could take a beating like nobody else. He was getting the shit kicked out of him, then the other guy was getting tired from punching him and Gracie just attacked and knocked the guy out. It was great.

[UNCfan1]

Yeah I saw this clip of one them fighting and he was toying with the other guy he could have submitted him like 10 times but instead he kept on putting different moves on him it was awesome.

Andrei will kill Sylvia. Never been impressed by his skill. Would like to see Fedor vs. Andrei.

[Dizzle1]

I started doing this stuff arounf the time the first UFC came out and trained w/ a guy who used to fight in Japan before pride. Over in Japan their is Shoot fighting which is basically MMA. I trained for a long time and was going to fight a stand up fight in Long beach back in 96 I was going into my senior year in college and started thinking what the hell am i doing . My body was taking a beating from training and lifting I took a long hard look at reality and figured I might win this fight ,but my talents were not good enough to go all the way. I've never lost a fight when it counted (had the piss kicked out of me from some guys that ended up going to Japan though) I never got knocked out in training, but i had my shin split pretty deep and my nose bent a bit. I would rather save the brain. I really enjoy it i Still trainin off and on and have practiced many arts . I think the goal at least in my case was to be able to protect what was mine, and i accomplished that. I might take up Judo soon, and up in N. hollywood there is a guy who is the legend in grappling named gene label and Gokor, also larry hartsell is one of Bruce Lee's top living students and he teaches trapping which is very practical for street figting. I took trapping for a few years off and on and it is great because it is a nasty inside fighting technique that leads to locks and holds.

Yeah Andrei is so underrated I hate it, I wish he would go to pride or some of those like Fedor, CroCop, Rua, Rampage or any of them come to the UFC and fight him he so fast with his hands and everyone seems to forget that he was and is a Russian Sambo champion so he is and has shown he can take care of his self on the ground.

www.sherdog.com is one of my fav MMA sites.

[Cyber Ninja]

Hey Dizzle,

You live in SoCal? There are some pretty cool schools there. Scientific Wrestling is starting up a training site, Gene and Gokor are excellent from what I hear, and my teacher runs a traditional Japanese Dojo (nothing against Judo, but I highly recommend u check out my teacher instead). PM me if you want the web address.

I actually read the article about him posted on the UFC website. Never knew he was a cop back home.

[UNCfan1]

Yeah I know he doesn't look like he would be a cop, Flex had a nice piece on him, He started lifting weights cause kids use to beat him up, and when he was 18 he join the force and got into Sambo and became a champ, awesome shit he's the man.

[Dizzle1]

Where in So cal? No offense taken. I have done full contact all the way to non practical get your ass kicked karate. I know what works and what does not. I usually lose in the ground fighting if it's just that w/ my buddy who was a college wrestler and went to state. All around my game is tight, but if i jsut picked one my stand up is much better , I have wicked Tai kicks, and I love the head- butts, there is nothing better than hitting the soft part on ones nose with the hard part of your head, shin kicks are great ways to drop someone lower to go for a knee to the face, and i'm not beyond stomping someone's nuts, I go a little nuts and I refuse to get beat when it counts.

[UNCfan1]

U da man Dizzle, I wish there was somewhere around here where I could learn some BJJ and Muay Thai. I guess I will have to buy some instructional DVDS lol.

[Cyber Ninja]

You guys ever check out Vladimir Vasiliev's website. They have a pretty effective style as well. Similar to the martial art I train in (except for the fact that Vlad's style is Russian). I have been considering cross training in Systema (Vlad's style) for a while now. Check out the site and definitely watch the videos page.

You mean the stuff from the academy was not good enough, lol. One of my favorite things was getting back at some cops that F-w/ me as a kid. My teacher taught ground fighting and full contact to some of the swat guys and local cops, I had a go w/ some of them. Most of them could barely kick.

That's cool Dizzle. I have been involved with MA for nearly 23 years now. Would love to open up a gym and have an area inside the gym for MA training.

How old are you? That would be cool to open a gym, I feel the more you practice the more you avoid trouble all togther, it's kind of cool , its almost as if it grounds you mentally.

[Cyber Ninja]

Will be 30 this year. Started out with Japanese Goju, moved on to Tae Kwon Do, dabbled in JKD, Silat, Eskrima, Judo, Jujutsu. Japanese Kobudo is my passion though. Wish I were like Neo in the Matrix. Hook me up and let me learn every fighting art known to man...

I do avoid getting in trouble mostly because of my training. 1- You don't know how badly you can hurt someone. 2- It would not look well for you in a court of law, since you are trained to hurt people.

No, there was a place in Costa mesa. There are so many schools in OC it's hard to keep track of which ones are good and which are crap.

Honestly, I have never seen Gomi fight. It has been atleast 3 years since I have seen a Pride pay per view. Who did he fight?

[UNCfan1]

I forgot the dudes name but he pulled off a submission on Gomi, I never knew who Gomi was till last year when I started to follow Pride.
