Thoughts on UFC 120?

[terminator]

Personally I loved the Condit vs Hardy fight; what a KO by Condit!

The Pyle fight was great. Pyle's reverse triangle choke/crucifix was great.

So many Brits getting beat on their home turf...overall surprisingly good night of fights.

If only the CoUNT would've gotten his wig pushed back! It would have made up for an otherwise waste of my 2 hours.

[sluggy]

Yeah, like most UFCs of late.. Crazy boring.
Only the condit fight was decent.

[nemo]

Yeah, that Condit knockout was awesome. I loved watchin' the brits gettin their ass handed to them!!!

Hell ya, I hear you brother!!! Even the Canadian guy won

[Jessep76]

I hear Condit wants the winner of the shields/kampman fight. Hopefully he gets the loser of the fight cuz I think he was robbed when he fought kampman and I wanna see a rematch. Shields will easily beat kampman.

Hardy apparently trained with Shaolin monks according to Joe and Mike. I'm sorry I find that hard to beleive in his fighting style. Unless he has totally lost the foundation I do not see any elements of powerful grounding in his style. The people I know are very heavily heavy Kung Fu styles you can not budge these guys for anything off their ground. Now I am not talking the guys who say they know Kung Fu. I am talking the guys who actually do know it. Which is probably less than 1%

In one of Hardy's earlier promo lead-ups to the GSP fight, they showed footage of him at a Shaolin Temple being trained when he was younger. Typical art-school rich-kid stuff. It's always the art school rich kids that wanna act like they're all punk and hardcore. You can spot them a mile away.

Seriously! You can spot the trying too hard, and desperation. Legit hardcore punks don't advertise.

Jeff Monson, anyone?

I bet they were "teaching him" alright. The people I know who are deep into the Kung Fu as I was saying barely if ever let out a lot of secrets or training methods to how it goes on. These are guys that though people will laugh they are traditional what can they do, I just smile and think yep keep thinking that. The problem is westernized Kung fu is nothing like real chinese kung fu. Goes along with that, ever met a Military Muay Thai guy, so much different than sport.

[Frogman]

Jeff Monson, anyone?

Funny, I was just about to say the same.

[bigwhiteguy29]

way too many decisions as of lae. I am tired of these guys not gonig all out. You cant blame them if they are winning but sometimes I feel they could finish without risk. UFC has been teribly boring lately. Each has 1-2 good fights out of 9-11. Hardy K.O. was pretty crazy. I thought his chin was Iron.

Really???

That would be a better match than the Kampan fight, but I guess they need to give Shields some warm-up fights before he fights GSP. Can't wait for GSP vs Shields!

Well some people would flip out if he got a shot right away. Thats how people are. Also people do get UFC gitters. So I think having maybe a warm up fight is a good thing and will give us the best title fight. I just dont think shields has it in him to beat GSP. GSP is gonig to really outstrike him. I could see him winning by guillotine though. Also i think Kos has a better chance at beating GSP even though there are a lot of KOs haters and dont think hes that good. That or Anthony Johnson in 3 years. 6-8 fights from now(he might be at 185 though) I think he is explosive enough knock down GSP and beat him that way. I am pretty sure he is gonig to be at 185 though : /

Even is GSP loses to any WW I really think rematch he will win with determination and game plan. I only see him getting lazy or lucky punch/sub like matt serra.

I don't know, Shields looked great against Robbie Lawler, who is a much bigger guy and a great striker.

Kampman has great striking, so if Shields beats Kampan in a spectacular fashion, I believe he will beat GSP as well.

I am not so sure he is really that much bigger at all. Just huge left hand.

I LOVE how Matt Hammil even makes fun of the dumb things that Tito says.

[bigpapa]

apparently if shields beats kampmann, his next fight is with GSP from what i've been reading.

[Mulletsoldier]

BWG is right, as Lawler has never been an especially large MW.

On the note of Shields, the fight is certainly interesting, though not from a competitive standpoint. It is interesting insofar as, stylistically, it will most likely force GSP to batter Shields on the feet ala Fitch.

Until GSP moves up, assuming he will, Fitch and Shields will be perennial contenders - which oddly enough ought to precipitate their collective move to 185, given their styles pose a more formidable challenge to A. Silva than GSP.

The fights were pretty boring. Hopefully this weekend is better.
Dumb question guys. There are a lot of nad kicks in the UFC. Dont they wear a cup? Why such pain and a 5 min. rest?

[Bionic]

Getting that cup forced up against your groin hurts like nothing else. While your coin purse is protected, it's still a rigid cup encircling it.

Oh yeah. and you gotta be sure its a very good fitting cup otherwise you can still smash a berry.

...or Koscheck: Dana White: Shields Deserved Title Shot On Day One

It looks like Shields might have debuted with a title fight if it weren't for TUF. It would have been kind of like UFC 75: Champion vs Champion when Dan Henderson debuted with a title fight.

[Tomahawk88]

If only the CoUNT would've gotten his wig pushed back! It would have made up for an otherwise waste of my 2 hours.

I know I LOVE seeing him lose. It was so pretty what Henderson did to him.

Anytime I think of low blows now I think of Cheick Kongo. Idk who he was fighting but the guy got him twice in the balls and then Kongo straight BLASTED the dude's balls up into his mouth.

[wastedwhiteboy2]

Gotcha. Thanks guys.
I'm not familiar with Shields but if he's good I'll be watching him.

[stxnas]

He's on a pretty good streak. In the last two years he's been the Elite XC Welterweight Championship, the StrikeForce Middleweight Champion, has wins over Dan Henderson, Robbie Lawler, and Paul Daley...not to mention, he is on a 14-0 win streak since late '05

Other wins include those over Yushin Okami and Carlos Condit. We'll soon see where the UFC will take him.

[TipTopShape]

UFC has been boring lately. its only the main event of the night was the only one exciting.
