He won the fight clearly in my eyes. He's a proper character aswell... I also scored it for McCall. (04-03-2012 15:21 )groundnpound Wrote: Unbelievable error from Thiago Alves in the main event. The fight was won with 40 secs left. If he'd kept striking Kampmann the decision win was in the bag. A tko wasn't out of the question either... Kampmann was in trouble. Couldn't believe he went for the take down and got himself submitted. He looked good though and made Kampmann look average. Like i've always said, if he can cut out the odd rush of blood/mental lapse, he could be in business. Aye. Alves hurt Kampmann but decided to take him down and was tapped out. Very stupid. Guys, check out the Miesha Tate and Ronda Rousey fight from Strikeforce: Tate vs. Rousey.

With 3 Brit fighters, Ali Maclean, Belfast, Andy Ogle, Tynemouth & Mark Glover Liverpool as well as 2 fighters from Brazil & Guam. There's NO UK tv date as yet so it looks like it'll have to be posted on here, I'll do it on Saturday unless someone beats me to it. TUF Brazil starts on March 25 I think, it's not on over here so it'll have to be posted on here for us to watch. I just can't get into womens MMA but it was a good performance & that arm looked nasty!!! Miesha Tate v Ronda Rousey http://www.mma-core.com/videos/fights/Miesha_Tate_vs_Ronda_Rousey_Strikeforce/10027196 Also on the card Paul Daley lost a split decision as well as young Randy, Ryan Couture.

Wouldnt have known it was on. Poorly promoted here mate. All the UFC events are PPV here too. Costs $40 an event. Robbing bastards!!! RE: UFC - Gaz "AV1" Aston - 05-03-2012 16:43 Not UFC but BAMMA related... http://updates.thenec.co.uk/IN/k1jgHhuSBehdOSh6L2HDx9IHEEIvRKsd47VsBLV3NiM/WebView.aspx I'm sorry but the ticket prices are ridiculous. They equate pretty much with the UFC prices for the event i saw at the NEC in November! At least with UFC you are getting to see THE very best in the world! How can they expect to grow this countries MMA brand if they price people out of a ticket? RE: UFC - mitchell - 05-03-2012 18:27 MMA shows in this country are ridiculous, the way the venue is set out isn't even fan friendly with the 10 seater tables they lay out thinking if we charge £75-£100 a ticket for a 3 course meal & the MMA card. It just spoils the atmosphere. Look at a Ricky Hatton fight, fight or even sports fans in this country aren't like the American & Japanese spectators, we don't go to a boxing or football match to watch & woop & holla or sit & applauded, we go to take part & the way the fans have to sit spread out at tables doesn't let you get involved like the seating at UFC/concerts do & meal tables always attract the wrong crowd in my oppinion anyway. RE: UFC - mitchell - 05-03-2012 21:47 Strikeforce fighter Brandon Saling (8-6) is being investigated for links to NEO-Nazi white supremacy gangs after his 88 SS (Lightning bolts) tattoo was brought into question at this Saturdays Strikeforce event, he's also alleged to be a convicted sex offender. Strikeforce’s Scott Coker Says Investigation into Brandon Saling’s Background Underway There seemed to be an upsetting discovery during the event at Strikeforce: Tate vs. Rousey on Saturday as undercard fighter Brandon Saling’s background came into question. Several sources reported Sailing had a criminal background, which included a felony conviction, and also links to being involved as a Neo-Nazi, have brought up the fighter’s colorful history. Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker says that a full investigation has been launched into his background and the Ohio State Athletic Commission is on top of the situation. This has sparked a war of words amongs US fan on some forums with some calling Cain Velasquez's 'Brown Pride' tattoo into question. H is the eighth letter of the alphabet & 88 is the number used by NEO-Nazi's to signify 'Heil Hitler' & the SS lightning bolts are the badge of the Hitlers Waffen-SS. Brown Pride is a phrase used by a number of US based Mexican street gangs in the states of California & Arizona. Cain Velasquez isn't under investigation nor has he been linked to any street gangs. RE: UFC - groundnpound - 06-03-2012 00:50 There's nothing wrong with Cain's tattoo! Think it's pretty boss. Why has it taken them til now to notice Brandon Salings tattoo? Was it his debut? Nobody wants to see that shit. RE: UFC - mitchell - 06-03-2012 20:54 (06-03-2012 00:50 )groundnpound Wrote: There's nothing wrong with Cain's tattoo! Think it's pretty boss. Why has it taken them til now to notice Brandon Salings tattoo? Was it his debut? Nobody wants to see that shit. It was his Strikeforce debut, he's had 1 fight in Bellator & all the rest are local shows. It looks like both Frankie Edgar & Anthony Pettis will have to sit tight, Dana White has said the winner of Nate Diaz v Jim Miller who fight at UFC on Fox 3 in May are in line for a title shot. Dana said “Well, I’m still obviously still dealing with the whole Frankie Edgar thing. I’m talking to Frankie and we’ll figure this thing out,” White said, before adding, “We did, we said the winner of (Diaz vs. Miller) would get the shot.” Things don’t always go as planned, though. Injuries always play a factor, timing… possibly shifting weight classes. The Ultimate Fighter Live Debut to Air Simultaneously in the UK Good news for fans of the new Ultimate Fighter Live in the U.K. as the show will broadcast in England with no tape delay. The show will begin airing on ESPN in the U.K. starting Saturday morning March 10 at 2 am local time in England. It’s the first time the show has aired in the U.K. at the same time as in the United States. There will be further announcements regarding future episodes and their air times soon. The new Ultimate Fighter Live will debut with a 2 ½ hour episode with 32 fighters battling for 16 roster spots to be coached by UFC bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz and top contender Urijah Faber. The show will run for 13 weeks culminating in a finale show in early June before Cruz and Faber battle it out on July 7 to close out their trilogy of fights. Strikeforce TV Ratings Continue to Flounder; Can it Survive Dana White’s Exodus? While the UFC is still pulling in a million-plus viewers for even its Fight Night broadcasts, the TV ratings for Strikeforce, which airs on Showtime, are still mired below half a million. The UFC on FX 2, emanating from Sydney, drew an audience of 1.4 million viewers on Friday night, while Strikeforce: Tate vs. Rousey, featuring a high-profile title bout between Miesha Tate and Ronda Rousey, garnered just 431,000 viewers, according to MMAWeekly.com sources. That number is fairly typical for a Strikeforce event on Showtime. The promotion hit its peak viewership with Fedor vs. Silva early in 2011, drawing 741,000 viewers. Other more common showings for Strikeforce were the likes of Henderson vs. Feijao at 412,000, Diaz vs. Daley at 528,000, and Melendez vs. Masvidal at 460,000. Zuffa, which operates the UFC and Strikeforce, recently renewed Strikeforces agreement with Showtime with a promise from UFC president Dana White to step in and help built Strikeforce to something comparable to the UFC. His efforts to help improve the brand were recently rejected by Showtime officials, however, leading him to go back to being all-UFC all the time. “Tell Showtime, they run that shit, not me. I’m out. I’m 100-percent UFC,” he tweeted. The UFC has already raided much of the top-tier talent from Strikeforce. Now, without the support of the UFC brass, that trend will likely continue. Can Strikeforce on Showtime survive?

RE: UFC - groundnpound - 07-03-2012 15:44 Great news on TUF15 Mitchell. Looked all over trying to find some info on it. Should make up for 6 weeks without an event!! Benderson vs Edgar 2. Sounds good to me. |
