If someone finds the video and can post a link, that would be great.

 

[Gaucho]

Yeh, vid would be sweet!

Lee is the most entertaining MMA fighter I have seen, without a doubt and I was talking to a friend the other day saying he would destroy Shamrock. Friend disagreed to say it mildly!

Also liked Diego Sanchez back when he was an animal!

MMA fighters are a bunch of freakin animals and they PROMOTE violence.

How can you cause serious physical harm to someone in a ring when that person has done you know wrong?

 

[ThunderMaverick]

Because he made a choice to get paid to block his opponent's fist with his face?


Did you watch the fight? Very smart and very technical.

If they were being animals they'd bite each other and rip each other's skin off. The winner would the go on to set the loser's body on fire and eat him.

Give me a break. It's brutal yes. It's awful yes. It's a sport. A lot of training and strategy to go into it.

That much I respect.

They are still animals and I don't respect them.

I respect Martial Artists and I am ALL FOR self-defense, but not this nonsense.

Are you also a vegetarian? What about a Communist? How about this transfer of taxes to investment bankers? What about Che Guevaro, do you respect him?

They dont care what you respect.

Involves immense skill, heart, courage and spirit. Just like boxing.

They probably dont respect you because you have never stepped into a ring!

So each to his own.

Good point thunder love the vid I had the chance 2 c chung fight when he was just a kick boxer but thought nothing of him safe to say he has been d most underrated fighter in the game.They both fought well cro cop and sakurabe r both my fav's

 

[BMX]

STUKKA PLEASE! I remember watching and learning what Cung Le had to teach from a purely muay thai/tae kwon do perspective way back in middle school, when he wasn't cagefighting. He's a legend and I'm glad to see that he's still around dominating.

It's funny how the newscasters start losing the arguments. Yea, football does have more injuries, they must be animals.....

 

[Ken785]

Post the whole fight...i was there live, and to be honest...it was the most amazing thing i had ever seen...i was literally shaking all three rounds. It was incredible. Very inspirational.....

...and stuka is an idiot.

 

[Trinitron]

Stuka you're gay. Grow a pair.

Also, beating Shamrock isn't such an accomplishment any more.

Gay? you guys are sub human for supporting that stuff.

Two guys in the ring acting like animals.

Atleast boxing is more sophisticated and has class.

I love the UFC and their fighters and favor the octagon fights over the ring type fights.... best dam entertainment I have ever watched but something tells me one day we may well witness a tragic end to a good fighter where he dies in the ring or octagon....

Thanks for posting the video link.

Stuka, you respect "martial artists" and boxers, but mma fighters are simply a combination of the two. Boxing is even more bloody and brutal than mma - cuts are just as bad, brain damage is worse from getting a long pounding to the head from those big padded gloves.

LS, to my knowledge, there have been two deaths resulting from mma matches, but both instances involve a fighter having a previously undetected heart condition. Any strenuous activity will kill a few people.

I've been training mma four nights a week since December, and am looking to have my first cage fight in Sep-Oct of this year. Almost a year of training will go into a fight that will probably be over within a minute or two. Given that I'm already 32, I've never going to make it to the UFC. People keep asking me why I am doing this. The best answer I can give is "to see if I can." I train with the best dojo of fighters around. For the first couple of months, I got my ass kicked up and down every night. Now everyone says I am getting much better, and I have started to actually be able to make other fighters tap out on occasion. Despite my body being a constant rainbow of bruises, I'm now in the best shape I've been in since high school. I started out at about 170 pounds. Now I'm 160, but look 185, body fat keeps dropping from the intense cardio, arms and chest getting bigger. Submission grappling is one hell of a workout.

Training to fight has actually taken much of the fight out of me in daily life, made me much less of an animal. I tend to just laugh at tough guy sh!t talkers these days. I don't need a chance to prove anything, as I get that chance on the mat at every mma class. I've also learned that there is an inverse relationship between sh!t-talking and actual ability. Every time we hold a cage fight, there will be guys in the audience talking about how big and bad they are and how they would kick all kinds of ass in the cage. But then after they go home and sober up, we never see them again, lol. It's only outside the dojo that guys talk sh!t, because inside, they are forced to back up their words.

mma is swallowing other fighting sports. Boxing goes downhill every year; big stars are going to the UFC. Other than Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which has exploded in popularity due to its success as an art in the octagon, other martial arts like the various types of Karate and TQD are all declining in popularity. Bruce Lee saw all of this happening thirty years ago, which is why his art of Jeet Kune Do preached that the best style is no style. Modern mma has become just that - no style, formed from a mixture of every style.

Pfft. Almost all of the guys I meet training MMA are gentlemen, unlike kick boxing and boxing where the egos are massive (in some clubs).
Many of these fighters in UFC have degrees and stuff. There's that guy Rich franklin he used to be a math teacher has a bachelors in math. And that other fighter who does the commentary sometimes.

Anyway wilst you're preaching and posting about not being an animal. I'm out getting animal with your little sister untill she calls me daddy and tells me to stop in a little girls voice.

Your a total GIRL stuka...jesus man...youre 31, grow a penis already!.

 

[LoneSilver]

BB I think what your doing is cool and hope your first fight you come out a winner

You properly already do this but in your weight training concentrate on Front Squats they mimic an oppoents body of sorts...when you do the Front Squats clean the bar from the floor to your upper chest not from the rack. You'll get stronger faster and the grapping and taking the oppoent to the floor stuff you do will be a bit easier to handle as it builds those muscles you need the most and coupled with your MMA skills you'll be a force in the ring but start out light and work your way up in weight until you get use to them as they are a bit awkward to do.
