He's hungry powerof0ne 02-01-2011, 10:31 PM I'm hoping Hallman loses and expect Silva to win unless the old Belfort comes to the fight. I expect Bader to win and would like to see Pham and Ludwig win their fights. Realized I mixed this up with the tickets I have for UFC fight night in Seattle in March :rolleyes:. Can't believe Bader fought like he did, Jones seemed to have so much more strength than him! Osu! ushideshinidan 02-01-2011, 10:31 PM Silva-Belfort... I think that Silva will win this one. I like both fighters and even if Silva is known to be one of the best fighter pound for pound in the UFC his last fights were for me not at the level of his talent. I think that Silva as something to prouve and Belfort plays his career... It should be a good fight! Osu! Fedor 02-02-2011, 02:40 AM expect Silva to win unless the old Belfort comes to the fight.Osu! LOL i saw an interview today where Vitor was saying he's sick n tired of hearing about the old and new Belfort. He says he's always been the same person and nothing's changed.:D Silva-Belfort... I think that Silva will win this one. I like both fighters and even if Silva is known to be one of the best fighter pound for pound in the UFC his last fights were for me not at the level of his talent. I think that Silva as something to prouve and Belfort plays his career... It should be a good fight! Osu! Well Silva didn't perform to his best ability cause he had a broken rib plus Chael was roiding so can't blame an injured guy specially with such a bad injury for mobility and power generation in martial arts puttin on that performance against a roid cheat:p gotapex 02-02-2011, 02:54 AM I'm guessing Silva. Others I expect to win: Franklin, Jones (departing from what folks above thinks), and Yamamoto. harukaze 02-02-2011, 06:36 AM Good Lord I hope Omigawa wins and tears up his division in the UFC (unlike the first time around). :o And Kid Yamamoto, well, I wonder if he's eaten enough humble pie yet... :D As for Silva, I think he'll make fairly short work of Belfort. :o gotapex 02-06-2011, 07:40 AM Wow! What a front kick. Havamal 02-06-2011, 07:52 AM The best UFC ever! Now, maybe my kickboxing instructor will let me use my front kick during sparrIng. It's not just a push kick: (Well, maybe he thinks just mine is). harukaze 02-06-2011, 08:37 AM The best UFC ever! Now, maybe my kickboxing instructor will let me use my front kick during sparrIng. It's not just a push kick: (Well, maybe he thinks just mine is). Man, who's your kickboxing instructor? :confused: No front kicks?... :rolleyes: :o wullie 02-06-2011, 11:15 AM I'll bet on Ryan Bader. He's hungry must have been hungry because he sure ate that mae geri ;):D lol! FredInChina 02-06-2011, 11:16 AM LOLLLLL Wullie :D:D Osu! Dent 02-06-2011, 02:34 PM Osu! Excellent fights on at 126. I think there has to be a game revision when it comes to some of the Japanese fighters chosen. Loads of technical skill and even more heart, but there seems to be a missing ingredient right now. And Anderson Silva? Man..... Anyone facing him has to have their defense turned up to "Whoa!"! :D Osu! Genma 02-06-2011, 02:37 PM I missed the match but did just watch the highlights. Awesome front kick. I had been arguing/wondering aloud with my son why this never gets used more and he said it just doesn't so it must not work. Going to have to show him the clip from this one! :) :) :) OSU! FredInChina 02-06-2011, 02:50 PM Can someone share a link to the match? :) Thanks OsU! wullie 02-06-2011, 03:00 PM Can someone share a link to the match? :) Thanks OsU! check your facebook, only got a clip of the ko but tagged you to it OSU! FredInChina 02-06-2011, 03:17 PM Thanks Wullie, getting on facebook is going to be a mission... I'll try. osu! wullie 02-06-2011, 03:29 PM if i get in bother with the Mod's i'm going to tell them Fred made me do it:p:D well that didn't work, so i'll try this- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6VgF0XrA6A powerof0ne 02-06-2011, 03:54 PM I don't think it was the best UFC card ever but the Jones/Bader and Silva/Belfort fights were good. I was disappointed by Torres and Bader's perfromance...Yes, Torres won his fight but he is such a better fighter than what he showed last night. Bader seemed like a totally different person, don't know what was going on with him compared to his past performances. Tip my hat to Anderson Silva, my favorite MMA fighter for the last few years, he is the best well rounded fighter in MMA right now. I thought it was classy of the UFC to give Griffin and Franklin that fight with each other. They're both coming off of a long time off and needed a fight to get the ring rust out and what better opponents than each other who are both rusty as heck. To me that does show that the UFC will stand behind certain fighters and try to develop them for their careers. I have heard Dana White talk about this before and thought he was just a sleezy promoter talking out of his rear, saying that they try to develop fighters but this Griffin/Franklin fight really showed that to me. To all the Rogan 'haters', I think he did a pretty good job commentating for this card, the only time I found something odd with him was when he was talking about Silva's mae geri, he commented that he's never seen that done in any type of martial art competition (kickboxing, karate, etc.). Oh well, nobody is perfect, I'm sure I would have made two dozen crazy mistakes to Joe's one crazy mistake if I was commentating....while seeing those ring girls so close to me humina humina humina..(don't tell my gf I just said that). Crap, I just realized I got her a ticket for the UFC Fight Night (tito vs. nogueira) in March..I must remain strong to not stare at the ring girls too much :cool:. Osu! ushideshinidan 02-06-2011, 04:13 PM Missed UFC 126 last night @#$?%#%!!, got cut in a snow storm with wife and kids driving back from a family dinner reunion... Will order it today from PPV and watch it tomorrow, got to watch the superbowl tonight...;) Osu! Steffen 02-06-2011, 09:02 PM I do not know if this was the best ufc I've seen, but it was much entertaining to watch. Many good fights from a good fight card. I would really wish that the UFC took a little more time between each gala and make fight cards like this more often .. Joe Rogan, who Powerof0ne mentioned above, is doing a okay job commenting on the fighting I think. I hung up a little in what he said about the front kick to :) hehe also remember a while ago he commented that inside lowkick would not hurt anything, just the ones on the outside ..:rolleyes: well not to ignore that it's going to be Ultimate FrontKick Championship from now! :D but seriously, do you think MMA fighters will begin to work more with the kick of this kind after this? Dent 02-06-2011, 09:08 PM Osu! but seriously, do you think MMA fighters will begin to work more with the kick of this kind after this? They should, but so should we! :) I think Kanku lamented the lack of solid Mae Geri some time ago. I must agree. Osu! sandman 02-06-2011, 10:34 PM I've always thought the front kick was often under-utilized. Silva didn't have that problem though! :D powerof0ne 02-06-2011, 10:57 PM Silva has said in post fight interviews that he learned the kick from Steven Seagal: http://www.fighters.com/02/06/steven-seagal-helped-anderson-silva-learn-the-front-kick-that-defeated-vitor-belfort Interview with Seagal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcNgrp2Ftew&feature=player_embedded For those of you that don't know, Seagal also holds a black belt in shito ryu under Demura, I don't know what his Dan rank is...but what I find weird is how Seagal said he learned this in Japan 30-40 years ago and modified it. Someone explain to me what he modified? Osu! knuckleheader 02-06-2011, 11:01 PM ..but what I find weird is how Seagal said he learned this in Japan 30-40 years ago and modified it. Someone explain to me what he modified? Osu! He just took the technique and made it his own. like we all do with all technique:) epking1 02-07-2011, 09:21 AM I heard the UFC commentator say that no one ever gets knocked out by a front kick to the face.... I beg to differ, watch the second KO as Trevor Mariott scores a KO by Jodan Mae Geri http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSPpcrQRUFY Rocket 02-07-2011, 12:29 PM I heard the UFC commentator say that no one ever gets knocked out by a front kick to the face.... I beg to differ, watch the second KO as Trevor Mariott scores a KO by Jodan Mae Geri Ahhh man the British Open use to be so much better back in the day when the guys from the 1st Ko use to turn up! It was one of the main reasons I stayed in Kyokushin, seeing all these other MA styles turn up and leave on a stretcher! It made me realise why Kyokushin is labeled The Strongest Karate! GimpTron 02-07-2011, 01:41 PM I'm going to say to say this...Van Damme & Michael jai White>>>>>>>Steven Seagal. :p Also I found this quite funny. I hope I don't get in trouble for this. http://i.min.us/icikxI.gif Deaken 02-07-2011, 05:45 PM I find it hard for Stevan Segal to say he invented this kick. I didn't see anything with it that was not what we all do hundreds of times each week. sandman 02-07-2011, 07:29 PM I didn't see anything with it that was not what we all do hundreds of times each week. And we all have Steven Seagal to thank for it ;) Deaken 02-07-2011, 09:29 PM And we all have Steven Seagal to thank for it ;) Thank god for that or what would we do with ourselves?:rolleyes: jcbel 02-07-2011, 09:38 PM And we all have Steven Seagal to thank for it ;) Thank god for that or what would we do with ourselves?:rolleyes: You mean I missed out on the fact that Steven Seagal time travelled and taught Bodhidharma (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodhidharma) how to do a front kick? How's that for a time paradox? :eek: wullie 02-07-2011, 09:40 PM trailer for the BKK British Open 2008, at 30secs Thomas Conroy of KSK Scotland (Senshido's club) with a Jodan Mae Geri- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hth5GDk5_js&playnext=1&list=PL54EBD3F85F84D2FA ushideshinidan 02-07-2011, 09:43 PM Maybe we should start a new tread "Thank you Steven Seagal " for the Jodan mae geri... ;) Osu! Havamal 02-07-2011, 09:56 PM so Seagal helped out Silva on that "killa" front snap kick. that's nice. now i wonder how many will be aiming that "snapper' for my chiny-chin-chin: I will forthright report if I get KO'd. gotapex 02-07-2011, 10:04 PM trailer for the BKK British Open 2008, at 30secs Thomas Conroy of KSK Scotland (Senshido's club) with a Jodan Mae Geri- Wow!

Should I ask him to send a thank you letter to Steven Seagal? ;) Osu! powerof0ne 02-07-2011, 11:02 PM trailer for the BKK British Open 2008, at 30secs Thomas Conroy of KSK Scotland (Senshido's club) with a Jodan Mae Geri- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hth5GDk5_js&playnext=1&list=PL54EBD3F85F84D2FA Didn't Thomas fly in Steven Seagal to learn the jodan mae geri before the tournament? ;) Osu! wullie 02-07-2011, 11:22 PM Didn't Thomas fly in Steven Seagal to learn the jodan mae geri before the tournament? ;) Osu! now you mention it he did miss a few classes, not respond to any emails, phone calls, etc and suddenly appear back at class with this astounding kick that none of us had seen before........... :p;):D sandman 02-07-2011, 11:38 PM http://i56.tinypic.com/30jsp4n.jpg One ouf our fighter in his last competition...

Someone explain to me what he modified? Osu! He learned it in Japan from Chuck Norris and modified it so that it can be performed by human legs. ushideshinidan 02-08-2011, 12:24 AM LOLL! I love where this topic is going!!! :) :) :) sandman 02-08-2011, 12:29 AM Wait until you see what Seagal teaches Silva next! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEsbY1-9UYg&playnext=1&list=PL529215240B3DFB2F ushideshinidan 02-08-2011, 12:31 AM LOLL! But what do you call the guy at the other hand? ;) harukaze 02-08-2011, 02:13 AM Perhaps one of the nastiest front kick KO's I've ever seen. :cool: QoJhMYbrFcU ushideshinidan 02-08-2011, 02:46 AM That was a nasty kick indeed! Who said that Mae Geri are ineffective? :) Osu Deaken 02-08-2011, 04:20 PM Perhaps one of the nastiest front kick KO's I've ever seen. :cool: QoJhMYbrFcU That looks like Nic Pettas in the corner at 4:04. I bet he learned that kick from Steven Segal! jcbel 02-08-2011, 04:23 PM Who said that Mae Geri are ineffective? :) Whoever said it must have watched my first fight, I caught the guy straight on the jaw and I didn't even get a wazari out of it..! :D:p Havamal 02-08-2011, 04:34 PM He learned it in Japan from Chuck Norris and modified it so that it can be performed by human legs. Chuck Norris did the turn back kick faster than others' front kicks, front kick's considered too wimpy for Chuck Norris. Okamido 02-08-2011, 05:27 PM Front Kick to the face.... Sweet Technique! Osu! ushideshinidan 02-08-2011, 06:35 PM Whoever said it must have watched my first fight, I caught the guy straight on the jaw and I didn't even get a wazari out of it..! :D:p Bad judges! Bad judges! ?$##?%#*%!!!! :) harukaze 02-08-2011, 08:15 PM That was a nasty kick indeed! Who said that Mae Geri are ineffective? :) Osu A number of MT fighters actually use a mae geri kekkomi (pushing front kick or "teep" in Thai) to not just make or maintain distance, but rather to cause damage as well. It's an easily seen strategy in Buakaw's first fight against Masato and in Kaoklai's fight against Koyasu Shingo. That looks like Nic Pettas in the corner at 4:04. I bet he learned that kick from Steven Segal! Seems like Pettas was in the wrong corner! :D jcbel 02-08-2011, 08:53 PM Bad judges! Bad judges! ?$##?%#*%!!!! :) LOL... actually in the video I have you can see one of the corner judges call a foul on me for doing it. Later on in the fight I attempted a shuto to my opponent's ribs and another corner judge blew the whistle for an "illegal technique". I remember the ref turning to him and saying, "It's allowed!!!" Duh. :cool: ushideshinidan 02-08-2011, 09:05 PM LOL... actually in the video I have you can see one of the corner judges call a foul on me for doing it.
