UFC 128-Shogun V Jones

JoeyJJ · 20-03-2011 03:34AM

Nice temple shot.

SDTimeout · 20-03-2011 03:34AM

Horrible loss for Mirko, just shows either how powerful Schaub is or how week Mirko is, because Cro Cop was en route to a victory there.

Horrible sportsman ship from Schaub also, Cro Cop was blatantly out no need for the extra shot

SanoVitae · 20-03-2011 03:35AM

Even I could telegraph a Mirko head kick!

Concussion city

MonkeyBalls · 20-03-2011 03:39AM

Well, that ruined my night.

Lucky punch IMO.

If only the UFC actually had some decent heavyweights to show up Schaub for the flat, boring dull fighter he is.

Hopefully this Strikeforce deal will bring some decent level heavyweights into the equation. Not that Crocop's not decent, but he is a little too old a little too small to make a real impact on that division now.

Give Schaub to Big Country again.

C'mon Miller, f*cking hate Marquardt..

Oh_Noes · 20-03-2011 03:42AM

Funeral for Miller here.

I don't think it was a lucky punch. Schaub has great timing and was taking down Mirko when he tried head kicks. This time, he telegraphed Mirko's head kicks with a punch instead.

I'm curious why Mirko didn't mix up his kicks (head, body, legs) to keep Schaub guessing - much like GSP did in his 2nd fight against Matt Hughes, i.e. lots of leg kicks and then a sudden head kick which lands heavily.

Yeah, not a big fan of Nate, though I see him winning comfortably.

ScareGilly · 20-03-2011 03:46AM

I just want to see a rematch with Palhares so he can steamroll through Nate..

SDTimeout · 20-03-2011 03:46AM

Big fan of Miller and would fancy his chances if he was coming into this fight with a proper training camp. Chance for Nate to re-solidify himself as the gate keeper here also.

ScareGilly · 20-03-2011 03:49AM

Did they just mention who I think they did? :eek:
Free Chael Sonnen!

:rolleyes:

SDTimeout · 20-03-2011 03:51AM

Nice escape there by Nate from that g/tine.

JoeyJJ · 20-03-2011 03:52AM

Nate prob gets the nod with round 1 with the last takedown.

JoeyJJ · 20-03-2011 03:58AM

Hope it's 1-1 but you never know.

how can anyone hate Nate, thorough professional, rarely talks smack, been in the game for years and always comes in top shape.

i hope he calls out bisping if he gets the decison though

Never really liked him, but after the Palhares fight, he's just a scumbag in my books. No worse than Paul Daley..

Oh_Noes · 20-03-2011 04:07AM

Was hoping to see Marquart win this because he'll be matched with Bisping and destroy him but I think 30-27 is a bit much.

can't agree mate, i've seen palhares break legs and hold on way way too long after the tap, seen in cage rage and ufc.

now paul daley i can agree with, he is bad news

I don't see the logic in this. Palhares basically stopped fighting to make silly protests to the ref and got punched in the face.

You think Marquart was greased up or something?

conor678 · 20-03-2011 04:22AM

After the last fight I'm really enjoying this fight. The Persian chap has come jaw!

Holding submissions I don't really have a problem with.. The referee should be there to pull them off the second they tap, when Palhares has held on it was until the ref pulled him off. That's because he's been screwed over by referees before. And I think he has been taught by Bustamante
who was also screwed because he let go when his opponent tapped, yet the referee continued the fight...

Palhares stopped fighting, Marquardt saw it and dived on top of him, he saw Palhares turn to the referee, and he jumped at his chance to win and never apoligised. Only difference between him and Paul Daley is Paul Daley's was after the fight imo.. Same as Bisping with the knee recently..

I think that Marquardt took a page from the GSP book of having a bath in Vaseline the night before a fight..

SDTimeout · 20-03-2011 04:28AM

Great defense there, Miller was getting frustated with the sub attempts but his back take was sublime. How easy he locked that body triangle was fantastic

how about the maia fight when he could have hit an unconscious opponent ?

although i remember an interview with Maia soon after where he said " i was not surprised he did not throw an extra strike, as many times when you are unconscious a follow up strike can wake you " :eek:

i kid you not

SDTimeout · 20-03-2011 04:32AM

Not going to help my Miller 8/1 for Sub of the night. I really think he should be next in line for a title now. His stand up has come on so well in his past 2/3 fights. BOOK IT DANA

SDTimeout · 20-03-2011 04:36AM

Side note, Damian Maia has just put on his twitter that he is fighting Mark Munoz next. Winner gets a title shot ?

I'd say Paul Daley's done that too... That doesn't make me forget about the suckerpunch. I believe Marquardt suckerpunched Palhares.. But thats just my opinion :rolleyes:

Faber's corner man looks like the Chinese guy from The Hangover.

conor678 · 20-03-2011 04:43AM

Come on Faber then I just need Shogun and I'm going to be a very happy man and William Chandler won't be!

Miller defo deserves a title shot. 7 fights undefeated! That's unbelievable stuff. Maybe because he's so humble that he doesn't get a shot but either way it has to be done!
