Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou is a fucking piece of dreadlocked dogshit. Throw this turd in the gutter where he belongs. I can't believe that Team Quest would have anything to do with a fuckheadded looser like this guy. At Dream 9 this week, he faced Jan "The Giant" Nortje. Fast forward to 2:40 to see his 'victory'. In a fuckin douchebag maneuver a-la Gomi, Sokoudju continued to beat on a downed opponent even AFTER the ref dove between them, waving his arms. I loved Sokoudju in Pride. Even when he sucked in the UFC, I remained a fan. When I heard he was facing Babalu at Affliction, I was itching to see Sokoudju school his ass. Like most, I hate Bablu because of his late submission release at UFC 74, which might go down as one of the most cowardly acts in the history of MMA. Sokoudju, Babalu and Gomi can go fuck their respective mothers. The only place they should be fighting is in a girls league, because clearly none of them know what it means to be real men; let alone sportsmen.
Not much to say about Carlos except that he's the man. He was amazing in both the Pride and UFC promotions, but dropped out of sight for quite some time. He recently made a comeback in Canada's W-1 promotion, defeating Nabil Khatib in the first round by KO. What's more, Carlos looked to be in the best shape of his life. Could this be the start of a comeback from the Ronin? Only time will tell.
Well there haven't been any posts in here in awhile. Partially because I have other shit to do, and am the only writer here; and partly because nothing interesting is really happening in MMA right now. Machida/Evans will be a snore, Sherk is a washed-up roid-freak, and Serra vs. Hughes involves Matt Serra and Matt Hughes. The only thing that makes this match even remotely interesting, is the possibility that they could both mortally injure one another. I know the odds are slim, but a guy can dream. Can't he? Anyways, Hughes is an asshole and a member of the KKK, and Serra is a lispy, whiny douchebag (and possibly gay).
Everyone loves seeing someone kick someone else in the head. It's even better when the man doing the kicking is Peter Aerts. I visited Peter's shittypedia page. You have to scroll down for five fuckin' minutes to see his whole record. This guy has fought the population of a small town. 3 time K-1 World GP Champion. 3 fuckin' times! And he was up against tough motherfuckers like Sefo, Hoost, Bojansky, LeBanner etc etc. He's known as The Dutch Lumberjack because he cuts his opponents down like trees with his insane kicks.
You look at a lot of the athletic achievements made by Kyle Maynard, and you'd have to be a fool to say that the guy is not exceptional. Having attended UFC 97, I can easily say that I would have rather seen an amputee getting his ass kicked than Silva vs. Leitis. The fact that watching old people sleep would've been more interesting than UFC 97, does not change the fact that the recent Maynard match was and is a freak-show, with no real place in MMA.
It's hard to believe that I'm actually writing a posting trying to convince you that beating on amputees is a bad thing. Kyle may have done some amazing things in his life, and I definitely wish the guy all the best, but there has to be a line; if not for the public's sake, then definitely for his. If Maynard is allowed to continue competing in MMA, he is putting himself in a much more dangerous position than any other competitor. When he gets hurt (which he definitely will if allowed to continue), who will be to blame? Of course he has made this decision on his own, and he is ultimately responsible for his own well-being, but athletic commissions and fight promotions need to shoulder at least some of the burden for safety(as they do with all fighters). A blind person would not be allowed to drive, so why should an armless, legless amputee be able to compete in what is arguably the most dangerous sport in the world? Like a farmer needs a field, an MMA fighter needs arms and legs.
And who is the guy in this picture; bending over to punch the armless, legless Kyle in the face? What kind of 'fighter' would take a fight like that? That guy sucks. If you have to give Kyle a fight, why not put him up against a blind fighter...or a midget? Even the odds a little. Heck, why not start up a disabled fight league? I'm getting a woody just thinking of two hulking tards pounding the shit out of one another with their deformed limbs; drool flying all over the place. And all for our general amusement.
I for one, look at a picture like the one above, and I get a real deep sense that amputees simply shouldn't be competing in MMA; at least not against able-bodied fighters. I often go with my gut when information is erroneous or absent, and while there is no lack of substantial info here, there is just something about amputees competing in MMA seems very wrong.
This guy is truly amazing, and he makes me want to watch standup MMA(which is what K-1 is regardless of what Dana the douchebag shitheel says)exclusively. Mo is known in some circles as "The Giant Killer", and for good reason. He's defeated the likes of Jan "The Giant" Nortje, Hong Man-Boy Choi and Gary "The Jobber" Goodridge. What really sets him apart from the herd is his frightening power and highlight reel finishes. I have never seen anyone with his kind of punching power. He has a wide, looping overhand right that can turn a man into a drooling quadriplegic. I'll be doing a full piece on Mo later, but for now, here's the highlight video complimented by a video showing him knocking out Choi:
While he might not be a mainstay in the boring old UFC, Josh Barnett is nothing if not one of the busiest fighters on the MMA scene. A well rounded heavyweight with a solid amateur wrestling background makes him dangerous, his desire and ability to strike makes him downright frightening.
Josh has fought in pretty much every promotion out there. From pro-wrestling (aka fake-wrestling) in Japan, to Pancrase. From Pride FC to the UFC Heavyweight Championship in the US, he is truly an international superstar of the sport. As is already widely known, Barnett beat Randy Couture for the UFC Heavyweight title back in UFC 36, only to have it taken away for failing a drug test. To this day, Barnett denies these allegations. After being stripped of the title, Josh headed in search of greener pastures. He found a home in several Japanese fight promotions, but his real success in Japan would come in October of 2004, when Josh began fighting for the Pride Fighting Championships. While his first two matches in Pride would consist of back-to-back losses to Mirko "Cro-Cop" Filipovic, Josh became a mainstay in the organization. Fans fell in love with his entertaining style, both in the ring and out. In Pride, he would go on to defeat the likes of Aleksander Emelianenko, Mark Hunt, and Antonio Minataro Rodrigo Nogueira. He would also be defeated a thrid time by Cro-Cop. I remember seeing these matched myself. While these losses may look bad when you look at his record in a general sense, the matches themselves were fuckin awesome, and Barnett has nothing to be ashamed of from his performances. Within the past two years, he has defeated Jeff Monson at Sengoku 2 and both Gilbert Yvel and Pedro Rizzo in Affliction.
What's next for The Baby Faced assassin you may ask your stupid fuckin self? He's going to be fighting Fedor Emelianenko at the next Affliction event, for the WAMMA Heavyweight Championship. This is an extremely interesting match that I can't wait to steal from my illegal satellite dish. Barnett already defeated Fedor's cousin back in Pride, yet unlike Fedor, Josh couldn't get past Cro-Cop. We can count on both of them wanting to keep it standing, and they can both strike like hell, but if it does go to the ground, they are both masters of ground and pound and submissions. This match is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. As far as predictions go, I just cannot say. There are too many factors. I am leaning towards Fedor due to the fact that he is seemingly unbeatable, but then I think about Barnett, and I think that if anyone can beat Fedor, it would be a guy like Josh.
Dana White is a piece of shit. This crown prince of douchebags has fucked up the UFC so much, that abortions like UFC 97 will soon be the norm. He can shove his weak, half-hearted apology up his loose, fucked-out asshole. In his self-proclaimed efforts to turn MMA into a sport (which it was and is already), Dana has been little more than a hindrance to the development and entertainment-factor of the UFC, and MMA as a whole.
I am sitting here, trying to organize all of the many valid reasons why White is a faggot and an incompetent piece of shit; but I have decided against that route. From sassing GSP for wanting to be the REAL champion before wearing the title, to rejecting the fans' desire to see Kimbo compete in the octagon (regardless of wehether or not he would've sucked balls). From trying to alienate UFC fighters from their management, to insulting and rejecting the greatest heavyweight ever in Emelianenko Fedor; White has proven himself a shit-heel in so many ways, that any explanations from me would not do him justice. Sufficed to say, Dana White is like that turd that lingers in the toilet no matter how many times you flush. Did I mention that he used to be an aerobics instructor? What a fag.
His blogs sucked. I'm glad they're gone. He gives faggot-hating chauvanists a bad name. I may be crossing some invisible line by suggesting that Dana White is a filthy, child rapist, but...
