What a great UFC. There were many knockouts on the card. They ended within the first round. I was a bit disappointed with the Couture/Befort fight. I dont think the doctor should've stopped the fight,but Belfort was bleeding very badly. Anyway,the next UFC has a rematch with Ortiz v. Metzger. Thats going to be a war.

Hey Chico, does that mean there wasn't much mat work? I haven't kept up with the sport in years but I don't like watching too much mat work. I know because you fight you might see things and appreciate it more than me but I much prefer the punching and kicking techniques.

There was only one submission tapout,one doctor stoppage and the rest were K.O's. Couture called out Vanderlai Silva, who is the Pride middleweight champ. He was in Belfort's corner. Silva is one of the most dangerous fighters now. I wouldnt fuck with him. Hopefully they can unify the belts. Btw, I prefer ground fighting cause I got mad skillz.

Forgot to mention Yves Edwards knockout of Josh Thompson was beautiful. Thompson was going for a reverse backspin and Edwards caught him on the side of the neck with a kick for the K.O

I may start following this stuff again, I was flipping through the channels last night looking for football news to use in whupping your ass next week, and I stumbled upon some taped K1 fighting which I had never seen. It was that immense black guy who is so popular in Japan( i can't think of his name) and a much smaller black guy. It was all action, at least until they tiresd a little but it peaked my interest in your sport again. The only thing is I hate PPVs so I will have to keep up via tape delays after the fact. What do you think of the K1 promotion?

K-1 rocks. It pits the best kickboxers in the world in a tournament format. They have to fight 3 times in one night to win. The big black guy was probably Bob Sapp.

Watch the UFC. You will get hooked. I also like Pride (from Japan). Its like the UFC, only with slightly different rules
(soccer kicks,headbutts,elbows-LEGAL!) and its in a ring,not a octogon. There are so many smaller promotions,

I just like combat arts. Jujitsu,wrestling(pro also )boxing etc. Im just a sports junkie.

yup, it was Bob Sapp. That guy is huge but he got his legs taken away from him in this fight.

Thats the easiest way to bring a bigger opponent down. Kicks to the thigh hurt like a motherfucker. They swell up and cant support your weigh after all that punishment.

Whats the deal though? No kicks to the joints like the knees. Hitting on the joint would work best but would definitely damage the fighters- so that is against the rules right? Have you ever thought about going overseas to fight in tournements and other promotions Chico?

You can kick to the joints. But its not effective. Those are what we call "movie kicks".They look painful,but the chances of hitting your target are slim. Otherwise,everyone would do 'em.

I would love to fight in Japan either for Shooto or Pride. But those guys are on a different level. I'd have to train hard for about a year to even come close to their level. Im going to start training again next month. My goal is to get to King of the Cage first. We'll see how it goes after.

Well good luck to you and maybe i'll be seeing you on the tv next

Thanks.

K1 rocks!! It's too bad it never made it big in North America. They tried to push it in one PPV when they got Roy Jones Jr. to do the expert analysis in the States.

I don't see Metzger beating Ortiz. Ortiz will just ground and pound him all night. I think Ortiz is stronger then Metzger but who knows, stranger things have happened in the octogon.

I like Metzger,he's a good fighter. Ortiz NEEDS to win this one,or it would 3 in a row he loses. He is scheduled to fight Belfort at UFC 51 in Japan. Thats in December. He cant lose or the Belfort fight would lose its appeal.

K-1 is starting to grow now that ESPN has an intrest in it. It sponsored one of the events not to long ago.
