Alistar Overeem LOL

So today I was on a forum and was trolling around and I wanted to put some fun in the forum.  I seen Alistar Overeem's name and I wanted to make a thread of him. 

Honestly, in my opinion, I always thought Alistar Overeem has been juicing or taking some substances that makes him super huge.

 So I asked this dumb question on the forum asking "  Where do you think Alistar Overeem gets his roids?"









This one guy says that he gets it from the horse stables.

Another guy says that he gets it from eating drugged horse meat.

Another guy actually replys with a picture of this.

I was dying cuz of the picture of the horse.

Shinya Aoki Thinking of quitting MMA

So after this beating Shinya Aoki took from K-1 Kickboxer Yuichirou Nagashima, sources say that Shinya Aoki is contemplating to quit MMA.  The fight took place at the Dynamite New Years fight card.  It was a special exhibition match with a hybrid mixed rules.  The first round was a kickboxing round.  The second round would be an MMA rule round.

So during the first round Shinya being a girl that he is, did not want to strike with the K-1 vet Nagashima.  Shinya threw flying kicks and drop kicks, so that he would intentionally fall on his ass.  Since it was K-1 rules the referee would tell him to get up.  Shinya would take his time getting up, which meant he would eat up the clock.  Letting the clocks time run down was such a wimp thing to do.

As soon as the 2nd round (MMA round) Shinya shoots for a double leg takedown in less than 5-10 secs.  Nagashima hits him with a flying knee and rains down hammerfists against the unconscious Aoki.  Finally, someone put this cocky basturd to sleep.

 

Its funny right?

Reports say that Shinya Aoki even closed down his twitter account and made a private one because of all the Nagashima fans harassing him.  It said he wants to focus on his teaching duties instead of MMA.  After getting embarrassed like that, I would lay low especially because he's been so cocky.

What I think of the Randy Couture vs Lyoto Machida Match

Honestly, I think that the UFC did not need to put this match on.  I know the UFC is probably doing this to generate money, due to Couture being a fan favorite and a great Pay Per View Draw.

There's really nothing for Machida to gain from this but he has the most to lose from it.  Losing to Couture may mean that he gets cut.  If not, he goes down the light heavyweight ladder.  Winning this fight doesn't really put him to top contention or anywhere near it.  Beating Couture maybe an accomplishment only for Lyoto.

Couture is not a top light heavyweight despite having a 3 fight winning streak.  He's beaten Brandon Vera, Mark Coleman, and James Toney.  None of them having a significance in the division.  Especially defeating Toney, which was kind of like a sideshow fight.  Couture has the most to gain from this, if he wins, he can continue fighting top tier fighters if he chooses to.  He may retire, but who knows.  Losing does not do anything for him since, hes getting older and older, people will not be surprised if he did.

Bottom line:  Its a great way to draw more attention to the card and build the fight card up.

UFC 129 Headlining Bouts

UFC 129 will be taking place at the Rogers Centre at Toronto, Ontario, Canada on April 11, 2011.  As of today, the only official fights are the headliners, Canada's own George St. Pierre against his challenger, Cesar Gracie product Jake Shields.  The other headlining fight will put two former light heavyweight champions against each other.  Randy Couture will be facing Lyoto Machida.

The welterweight champion George St. Pierre will finally facing Jake Shields.  Shields has been fighting in many other places besides the UFC, now he will be pitted against his toughest test to date.  Jake Shield's base has been in his ground game and will probably try to get the champion to his greatest strength.  The concern I have with Jake Shields, is if he'll pull off the same stupid stunt he did against Martin Kampman.  Shields had trouble making weight and it showed during the fight because his cardio looked really bad, gassing out.

George St. Pierre, coming off a dominating performance against his nemesis Josh Koscheck.  GSP used his stand up to neutralize Koscheck, by jabbing his eye shut.  Thus, making Koscheck basically fighting with one eye for 3-4 rounds.  As in his last fight, it took place in his home country of Canada.  It was sold out very fast.  So, I'm expecting that this will sell out quick too. 

Randy Couture finally got what he asked for, he'll finally be facing Lyoto Machida.  The 47 year old Couture will take a shot at the karate master. 

Also, if featherweight Mark Hominick gets past George Roop at UFC Fight for the Troops, he will be getting a title shot against Brazilian striker Jose Aldo.  There has been speculations that if that fight were to take place, it would happen at UFC 129.

The Ultimate Fighter Season 13 Coaches

NEWS just came in that Heavyweights Brock Lesnar and Junior Dos Santos are going to be coaching the Ultimate Fighter. The season will consist of a welterweight only season. This will seem to be an exciting season knowing that Brock Lesnar is very vocal and his personality may not be liked by others.

I'm honestly expecting him to add some WWE flavor into the show with the showman ship. He loves the camera. It's just in his nature to entertain. On the other hand, Junior Dos Santos seems like he will be the chill one and don't forgot we'll likely have subtitles for him speaking. So all the entertainment should be coming from the one man show named Lesnar.

By taking the coaching job for the season, it will cause them to battle it out for a June showdown for the interim heavyweight title. Since, UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez will be out for some time, Brock and Junior will square off for the title.

By reading on forums and on the internet, people are already counting Brock out of the fight. But lets face it, when you lose, a person can do two things : come back stronger or not. Honestly, I think Brock is a competitor, I think he will learn from his loss, just like when he lost to Frank Mir. We'll just see when it comes down to fight night.

What I learned from the lastest MMA Hourshosted by Ariel Helwani

So today, it was probably longest edition of the MMA hour with Ariel Helwani. It took around 3 hours and consisted of 9 guests. There really wasn't any breaking news from it but learned a little more detail into the fights and things that are going on.

WHAT I LEARNED:

Josh Barrnett actually contemplated to stop competing in mixed martial arts. And he didn't like what Dana White says. I guess you can say they're not close friends.

Fabricio Werdum hates cocky people. He said Overeem and Barnett were a little to cocky.

Scott Coker gave a little insight into the Strikeforce tournament. It will consist of 8 heavyweights. The details about the championship bouts are not final and he said it will be announced soon.

Hershal Walker wants a MMA union. Too bad this isn't football, its most likely not going to happen.

Anthony Pettis will be getting a fight instead of waiting for the title shot. Hopefully, he wins or he'll pull off a Josh Grispi 2.0.

The best part was the Mitrione Minute segment. Due to technical difficulties, Mitrione could not get on the computer and had to call in. He didn't even have material and was funny to listen to improvise.

THATS WHAT I LEARNED TODAY.

Fights Targeted for UFC 130

A couple fights are being targeted for UFC 130. It's not official but here are some of the fights that are targeted to be on the May 28th card.




Rampage Jackson vs Thiago Silva

The fight will most likely be that the winner will be catapulted into the light heavyweight contention. Thiago just came off a one year layoff to rehabilitate his injuries. Coming off UFC 125, Thiago dominated and smashed his opponent Brandon Vera.

Rampage also won his last fight against Lyoto Machida. Therefore the winner will be taking a huge step up in the light heavyweight ladder.

Frank Mir vs Roy Nelson

This match looks to be a very exciting match up in my opinion especially, both being Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belts.

Frank Mir's job will also be on the chopping block, after Dana White ripped his performance against Mirko Cro Cop.

I'm guessing the whole contract issue with Roy Nelson is resolved. He just came off a gutsy performance against Junior Dos Santos. He took a massive beating and showed a ton of heart.

Also, there is a rumor that Frankie Edgar and Grey Maynard will have their rematch on this card. Its only a rumor, besides Frankie needs to be medically cleared due to the fracture in his nose.
