Dan vs Fedor - Bad Stoppage
MMALinks
As a ref, you have to be very attentive to what's going on, if a fighter is unresponsive and is getting pummeled you have to get in there and break it up. Fedor was unresponsive and took two punches to the head, I seen the fight and the replay confirms Herbs stoppage. Safety is the number on key in the UFC and is something that the organization claims to strive for. Herb dean was just doing his job and realized Fedor was done and although it was a short nap - Herb was there to ensure the Fedors safety despite anything and everything some of you believe and fail to comprehend.

James Toney to Return to MMA...Perhaps?
MMALinks
If you haven't heard - Quinton Jackson called out James Toney in his interview with HDnet Inside MMA...James Toney had this to say via Fight Hype: "The only thing that Fake Mr. T has to do is sign a contract. Rampage is a decent club fighter and if he thinks his club fighting style can match my skills, then he is crazy as hell." Also "What? Is he mad because I called him an Uncle Tom or because I said Detroit wouldn't accept him?"

Georges St-Pierre vs. Josh Koscheck - UFC 124
MMALinks
The second, third, fourth and fifth round was no different than the first round. Pierre had a huge advantage over his opponent. This is due to the fact that Koscheck swollen eye made it next to impossible for him to gauge depth and land effective strikes on Pierre. This fight was a little frustrating because it's not every-so-often we get to see one of the top contenders in this weight-class showcase their skills and with that said - the early swelling of Koschecks eye made for a lackluster fight. Had this injury not occurred - I think we all would've jokingly seen what we wanted to see and that is Pierre putting an [***] whoppin' on one of the top [****] talking mofo's in the UFC.

Daley Makes Debut Against Smith In Strikeforce Event
MMALinks
After the fight, Daley called out match between himself and KJ Noons as a means to get him closer to a title shot - and to that I say "As [****]ing if" ya clown. You lost your keep - how about you earn the respect of your fans again before you "think" you have the privileged of calling out ANYONE. Previously in a press conference, Daley was asked if he felt any added pressure to appease his fans due to the Koshchek incident. Daley said he wanted to forget about it and just fight. Perhaps he should have answered the question to appease his fans. Sure he may have acknowledged his fault in the past, but if it's important enough to have been brought up during a press conference - perhaps it was important enough to be answered.

Rampage Jackson Wins Via Split Decision Against Lyoto
MMALinks
Rampage Jackson stuck to his style UFC 123 and that was of course "Aggressive" not knowing how to do much more than brawl making use of his wrestling background. Jackson put on a display the best he could and as 1 dimensional as he could against a backpedalling side stepping Lyoto Machida. Machida backpedals and side steps more than a skank avoiding backhands and head butts from a pimp. I mean give us all a break Machida...you might as well be invisible as you are untouchable. Machida in my opinion is a reactive fighter - he sits back and he throws his punches and his kicks wisely. That would explain why he is the least hit and holds the highest percentage of punches landed on his opponents...hell he just frustrates the crap out of you enough until he finds an opening.

Penn Ruins Hughes in 21 Seconds
MMALinks
Hughes has a professional record of 46 and 8 and I hope that this fight proves to him that he is done. Yes, I know Hughes has won the last three fights up until tonight (UFC 123) but c'mon now Penn and Hughes are no longer relevant. However I think Penn just bought him some life in the MMA game or at least the UFC. Dana will keep him around. That right hand of his proved that his tank is not yet on E. Penn coming off his loss to Frankie Edgar, Rampage Jackson to Rashad Evans and Lyoto to Shogun - Hughes was the only guy in the main event who actually had a win under his belt coming in to the event. I am sure a lot of people realized this and stacked the cards against Penn as the underdog.

Jean Claude Van Damme and Kickboxing
MMALinks
I would rather hear "first" that Van Damme is training hardcore in his attempt to redeem himself as a "real fighter" not just some actor portraying the role of a fighter. Sounds backwards to me and it makes you think what he was doing when he came up with the thought of returning to the ring....eh never mind, but in the words of Rick James "Cocain is a Helluva Drug!!! Ah Ah Ah Ah"

Rampage vs Rapper 'The Game'
MMALinks
Why is this even an issue? Some of you may not know this and perhaps some of you do, but Jackson and The Game were both considered for the part of BA "Baracus" in the movie A-Team. Obviously Jackson got the part, but The Game is pissed because he thinks/thought that he would have made a better BA. I don't know about all that!! Jackson looks the part of BA a lot more than Game does. This could have been solely a decision based on the directors choice. (in regards to appearance). Either way it seems both these guys want to get at each other.

Race: A Determining Factor in MMA
MMALinks
Mixed Martial Arts is not about RACE and or RACE superiority within MMA. It is the ability to perform that makes a person superior in MMA.
People are always going to be drawn to competition. Whether that be by comparison, competitiveness, agility, power, strength, speed...the list goes on.
When you hear people resorting to negative comments about race in MMA- it's pathetic at most. Un-educated attention trolls is what they are.

Tito 'These Boots Are Made For Walkin' Ortiz
MMALinks
When I heard that Tito was fighting I asked myself "why"... What does he have to prove, then it dawned on me. "Ohhhh he wants to prove that not only can he beat up on his wife that he can also beat up the hearing impaired". Now it all makes sense. I think it's down hill from here...I just hope he doesn't take it out on any one. [cough] his wife [cough]. However, he didn't beat up on ole Matt Hamill now did he.
