MMA Lovers

[Josh_R]

MMA is the world's quickest growing sport, and it is also an important part of my life. So I decided it was time to make a fan club dedicated to this sport.

Before joining I ask that you answer these questions.

1. Do you train in any of these style's.

2. What is your favorite style of fighting.(ex: Muay Thai kickboxing, BJJ, and wrestling)

3. What is your favorite MMA organization.(ex: UFC, Strike Force, WEC, Pancrase)

4. Who is your favorite fighter.

5. What was the first fight you ever saw.




I will go ahead, and answer the questions so you all can get a feel of how I feel about it.

1. Do you train in any fighting style.
Yes I am a brown belt in BJJ, a former junior golden gloves boxing champions, I was on All-State wrestling team, and I am a blue belt in Judo.

2. What is your favorite style of fighting.(ex: Muay Thai kickboxing, BJJ, and wrestling)
For me it is Sambo-Combat. It is a style that is taught mainly in Russia, and many parts of Europe, but if I ever had the chance I would love to learn it.

3. What is your favorite MMA organization.(ex: UFC, Strike Force, WEC, Pancrase)
Pride Fighting Championship. It was the real deal. I love the UFC, but they baby their fighters to much. They put rules in place to where no damage comes from the fight. In pride soccer kicks were a major thing, also my favorite. In all other organizations it is illegal.

4. Who is your favorite fighter.
My favorite fighter is the king of Pancrase himself Bas Rutten. While he is loud, and very obnoxious he is a very skilled fighter. He helped make the sport what it is today.

5. What was the first fight you ever saw.

First fight I ever saw was Frank Shamrock Vs. Royce Gracie. Gracie took Shamrock to the ground, and the fight was called at around 36 minutes in the first round. While this was not a exciting KO filled fight it was still rather good, and got me into this sport..

So fill these questions out, and enter the world of MMA...

Rankings will go by how active you are, and how many post you have in the club. Rankings go by Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu standards.

Members & Ranking
~Josh_R: 7th Degree Red Belt
~Chrono: 6th Degree Red & Black Belt
~Treize: 3rd Degree Purple Belt
~Silver: 2nd Degree Blue Belt

New rule. If you are unactive in the club you will put on probation. Once one probation you need to post. If not you will be removed from the club.

Probation
~xTidus: 2nd Degree White Belt

You have to register the club in the registration thread before it can be post so that we can approve or deny the club before it is officially created. I'll close this down for now and please go through the registration thread first.

[chrono]

do you train any art
Brazilian jiu-jitsu under 5th degree blackbelt Roberto Traven.

Favorite styles of fighting
Brazlian jiu-jitsu and catch wrestling. Judo newaza. Jiu-jitsu teaches postion before submission while catch wrestling emphasizes strength and standing entries into subs( exciting to watch). Grappling arts up until recently have not got the attention they deserve. Like i tell all my buddies, "If you do not know how to grapple then you do not know how to fight". you could be the best striker in the world but if you do not know how to defend agaisnt clinches, takedowns, and ground techniques then all your striking abilities don't mater. Learning to defend yourself off your back is crucial.

What is your favorite MMA organization.(ex: UFC, Strike Force, WEC, Pancrase)
Pride while it still existed. UFC and the Dream organization. Strikeforce(as long as they have moussai, fedor and Jacare).

Who is your favorite fighter.
awww shit.....to many to name. Demian Maia, George Sotiropoulos, Kazushi Sakuraba, Anderson silva, George st Pierre, BJ Penn, Jacare, Fedor, Shinya Aoki........ and a whole lot more .

What was the first fight you ever saw.

hmmm....I really do not remember....uhhhhhh....something from the UFC.

I had a friend growing up who was 5'3 135 and was a wrestler who loved to get into fights. He won all but 1 fight that i know of and that was to a college football player. Anyway his recipe for success was always the same clinch + takedown + mount + maintaing mount + raining down blows = winning everytime. His opponents were clueless once the fight was off the feet and he would just dominate taller, stronger, bigger guys.

That showed me the power of grappling. The gracies showed me the power of submission grappling.

[Josh_R]

Nice...Nice accepted. A blackbelt under roberto traven that is impressive my friend. The spider damn... I have a brown belt under Butch Hiles.

Once we get some more members, which I am sure that we will. I mean more people than us have to enjoy MMA. We will start weekly trivia contest.

For mow I guess we can discuss whatever. So have any idea's Chrono.

Ohhhhh nooooo i do not have a blackbelt under traven(god no). I wish....Maybe in 8 years...mwahahaha. Traven will have you at white belt for ages.....then blue belt for ages....then purple for a millenium.....then brown for eternity(lol).

I am working on my blue, i will have it by the end of the year. Black belt....i wish.


Edit: i got a topic big Nog vs cain velsaques: That really broke my heart seeing big nog put away like that. If i had some money i surely would have lost it that night.



and George Sotiropoulos vs joe "daddy" stevenson: George is amazing on the ground. he just dominated stevenson that was a beauty to watch.

Here is some of the squad. It is a WHOLE lot more than this but these are some of the guys and gals. Sadly when they took this picture i was not there that day.

Ahh ok. Bout to say shit Traven is a bad sum bitch. If you got a black belt under him then damn. I have a brown under Butch Hiles, he is pretty good. Best I can get in my area. In the future I would actually like to train under Traven. For me BJJ is a lot harder than Judo. I have a blue in judo. I have excelled in judo. I love it, incredible style. In judo I learn not only to throw, but also sweet ass holds.

Well I actually have an idea for a first discussion. It is the Strikeforce situation. Alastair Overeem as the HW champ. I have been wondering what the f*ck is up with that. They have Fedor now who is #1 in the world. Overroid has been beating around the bush. He was supposed to of fight Fedor by now. He is using his "Roid" as an excuse... What do you feel about this Chrono.

EDIT: I missed your topic I apologize. We can do both.

I to was saddened by Big Nog Vs. Cain. It always hurts to see a fellow BJJ Practicioner get beat. Unless they are Frank Mir, I hate that SOB. I did in fact lose money on this fight. $80. Nog's main problem in that fight was right outta the gate he tried to stand up with him. While Nog has impressive stand up, it was dumb to stand up wit Cain. He should have taken him to the ground, and worked his Jiu-Jitsu.

I was happy with George and Joe. I have never been a huge fan of Joe. During the TUF I had money on Luke Cummo winning that fight. I would like to see George Sotiroupolus Vs. Diego Sanchez. I think that would be a pretty good fight. They are both good standing and on the ground. It would be a good fight...

I often wonder how fedor feels about such things. Alistair has been fighting overseas and it seems like they are not testing him for illegal substances.The guy use to have a very slim build but now he looks like a destroyer.

Fedors management(M-1 global) are saying that he is not worthy to fight fedor. Is this a ducking tactic? I do not know but i want fedor in the UFC to fight Brock(when he is back to 100%).

Come on down to Atlanta when you get a chance and train with us. Traven is a cool guy. He does not talk to much but he has a good sense of humor and he tells shit like it is.

He was telling a story one time about how they had to beat up on a guy who challenged jiu-jitsu back when he was in brazil. I dont remember to many details but it was at the school of now alliance leader Romero "Jacare'" Cavalcanti(before thay all came to america). After the guy got whooped on a lil bit he gave up, Traven then looks at us and says " if you are going to fight you must be willing to die"(thick Brazilian accent).

People say that all the time but to hear it from someone who means it was inspiring.

[Josh_R]

Yeah he hulked out in a matter of months.

I don't think it is a ducking tactic. I kinda agree he isn't worthy to fight Fedor. As for Brock he didn't do anything to earn a title shot. He lost to Mir, then beat Herring, and then got a title shot. Unworthy in my opinion. There are guys with tons of wins who shoulda got the shot before him. Whenever Brock does get back he is gonna lose the title to Carwin, cause Carwin will stomp Mir.

Come on down to Atlanta when you get a chance and train with us. Traven is a cool guy. He does not talk to much but he has a good sense of humor and he tells shit like it is.

I will eventually. I have a fight coming up in the VFL. If all goes well I will be stomping the shit out of him soon...

[Josh_R]

Sorry for the delayed post. You can definitely join up...

So anyway not sure if you all have heard, but Strikeforce has been going through some contract negotiations. Andrei Arlovski is for sure signing with them, which gives strikeforce the ultimate Heavy Weight division.

There have been a few rumors that Jose Canseco is trying to go to Strikeforce. Me personally I think he needs to retire from everything. He has had one professional fight, and got beat my Hong Man Choi, who is a less than spectacular. Hear is something Jose said in an interview while he was shit talking Herschel Walker.

Walker should be honored to fight a fighter of my calibur. He has done nothing to establish himself in this sport, while I have

The only thing he did was embarass the sport by getting his ass beat...

Jose Canseco brain is fried from prolonged steroid abuse. Have you heard about James Toney being signed by the UFC.....I wonder if they will feed him stand up guys or throw him in there with a wrestler.

QFT

Have you heard about James Toney being signed by the UFC.....I wonder if they will feed him stand up guys or throw him in there with a wrestler.

There are a couple rumors about it. He wanted to fight Kimbo for his first fight. But Kimbo has had to take a few weeks off cause of an illness. Which is why he has pulled out of his fight against Matt "Meathead" Mittroine. Randy Couture wants to fight him. This would be a good fight just cause Toney would get introduced into the world of MMA. Couture would win as long as he could keep Toney on the ground. If Toney is standing up he will rock Couture's world. Guess we will just have to wait, and see who they give him as an opponent.

Have you heard that Brett Rogers is getting a title shot against Overeem. Seems kinda f*cked up seeing as how Fedor KOed Rogers.

wha....wha....no i did not hear about this!!!!! Did logic take a day off or something. This makes no sense what so ever!!! Scot cokeer must be doing lines....

ahhhh yes i forgot that i had read that fedor and strikforce are having contract problems. I am not sure if this is still going on but it is something i have heard. If this is true then this makes a bit more sense but still who gets a title shot after getting ko'ed?


Hi Treiz, nice to have you on board. Do you have any streching tips? There is a Tae Kwon Do teacher that trains jiu-jitsu where i do and he is pretty flexable but he comes in the morning(i am an evening guy) and i cant ask him about these things.

[Treize]

1. Do you train in any of these style's.
I did train in Tae Kwon Do for some years. I ended up getting a high-red belt, the belt before black belt, but eventually I had so many other things going on in my life that I didn't have the time to practice Tae Kwon Do anymore. I would love to start practicing again, but since I'm joining the military, I might not have the free time that I would need for a few years.

2. What is your favorite style of fighting.(ex: Muay Thai kickboxing, BJJ, and wrestling)
I guess I have to pick Tae Kwon Do because that is the only style that I've practiced. I may like another one better, but I would have to actually practice it for a while in order to tell. It might seem like one thing watching it, but to really know if you like it, I think you would need to practice it for a little while.

3. What is your favorite MMA organization.(ex: UFC, Strike Force, WEC, Pancrase)
I don't like watching MMA on TV that much, and I've only sparred against other people using Tae Kwon Do, so I don't really know any of the organizations.

4. Who is your favorite fighter.
Again, I don't really follow MMA, so I don't know any of the famous fighters.

5. What was the first fight you ever saw.
I don't really watch MMA, but I have seen a lot of sparring in Tae Kwon Do. The first one that I've seen would just have to be a practice match at the local dojang I practiced at.

I doubt that I'll be very active in the club because I don't practice Tae Kwon Do anymore, and I don't really watch MMA on TV, but I thought I might as well post this to show that more people on this form actually practice(d) a martial art.

[Josh_R]

Well then Chrono it appears that you're predictions were very wrong. Carwin quickly put Mir down. At almost 4 minutes in the 1st round. He whooped his ass.

Also GSP beat Hardy. It was a rather uneventful fight. GSP had 2 unsucessful submission attempts. A kimura, and an armbar that almost snapped his arm..

Yes...very wrong.

Palhares might have ended someones career that night. Heel hooks are nasty.

now it is almost time for fight night 21.....and strikeforce with Aoki and Melendez. I got Aoki and Gegard is going to be to much for king Mo.

god that heel hook pissed me off. He is suspended for 90 days then he gets to come back. His opponent may never fight again. He said he didn't feel him tap, 7 of his wins are by submission, he is also a life long praticioner of BJJ. You and I both know that you can feel someone tap. Plus what did he think the ref was doing when he tried to pull him off,,,Bullshit is what it is.

Fight Night. I got Gomi 2nd round KO, and then I got Stefan Struve 3rd round by submission. Ken Flo is a good fighter but Gomi is intense, and if he brings the same fire that he had in Pride then it is over. Roy Nelson isn't that great of a fighter. Struve is a beast when it comes to submitting guys, he is gonna break big belly nelson.

Same here. I never count out Aoki. He is a bad lil motherf*cker. And Gegard Mossasi is just an all around bad ass. King Mo has no idea what he is getting into.

TUF 11 premiere's Wednesday right after Fight Night 21. How about we all do our picks and we will see who wins. I pick the Aussie Kyle Noke. He is a bad little son of a bitch. One of the only men to beat George Sotiropoulus, aside from Aoki. He also used to be Steve Irwins bodyguard. He has a win of fellow cast member Kyacey Usacola. And if it one thing I have learnt in my time, never count out an Aussie they are bad ass people..

[chrono]

Ken Flo was hittin Gomi with that stiff jab all night.....gomi head was snapping back with every jab.

Ken Flo shoots get the takedown then slaps on a RNC for the win......damn gomi.....

Big country just nailed the skyscraper!!!! He just looks so out of shape though. The skyscraper will be back though he is still a young guy.

I watched a lil of TUF 11 but i was at a girlfriends(not romantic) house and her and her friends wanted to watch something else so i did not get to watch all of it(i dont have cable at the house).

Ken Flo was way to fast for Gomi. The few hits that Gomi did land were huge and damn near took Kenny out.

I hate Big Country so damn much. He pisses me off. I don't think he is that great of a fighter. He catches people. Anyone has a punchers chance in a fight.

TUF was pretty exciting. All the guys on there are damn good. They all have very impressive takedowns.

The fights i did get to catch were pretty entertaining. Usually the trial fights at the beginning are a snooze fest but these guys came ready to bang.

That one guy who quit after the first round(forgot his name)....i think he was French....that guy needs to quit.

Here you are with a chance to fight for one of the largest orgs in the biz and you quit. I am not a tough guy by any means but i would have gave it my all. I would have fainted in that bitch from exhaustion before i just gave up.

[Josh_R]

That one guy who quit after the first round(forgot his name)....i think he was French....that guy needs to quit.

His main thing was that he was gonna come in and show all americans that French people are not pussies. Well he quit after 1st round so what does that tell you.
After he quit Dana said

Well his main goal was to come and show us that the French aren't pussies. He quit. So ehhh. I'm not calling the French pussies but come one.

[chrono]

Did you check out "big dog" Almeida at 170 against Matt Brown? Big dog looked pretty good.

Nate Diaz put on a clinic against Rory Markham. Nate is one of my favorites and i think he looks better with the extra weight.


Almost time for UFC 112 invincible......

I got Maia by flying triangle!!!!! seriously though i do have Maia by some kind of miracle sub.

I got penn over edgar.....penn is god almighty at 155.

I got Renzo over matt hughes because i can not go against Renzo.

Edit: check out this gogo HL

[Furore]

Figured I might apply, though my knowledge of proper competitive MMA is currently pretty much nonexistant. Saw a few fights on TV a while back and it actually wasn't too bad even if not up to seeing the more qestionably legal fighting live.

1. Do you train in any of these style's.

In MMA terms I'd be considered a 'Streetfighter'. No holds barred, I use whatever works and discard anything that doesn't.
I'm mostly self-taught but have a few Judo moves and the like from Security courses and have done Shaolin Kung Fu in the past (no belts, master taught people moves at their own pace).

2. What is your favorite style of fighting.(ex: Muay Thai kickboxing, BJJ, and wrestling)

A freestyle fighter I saw in a local underground league's fights a while back. His moves strongly resembled Capoeira and he'd use them to both dodge and attack so well I would have hated to be the poor bastard getting thrashed by him.

3. What is your favorite MMA organization.(ex: UFC, Strike Force, WEC, Pancrase)

Don't have one yet unless you include proper underground fighting (that which doesn't make headlines) in which case I'm a big fan of Port Kembla's PKSF. I figure I'll pick up a fave professional one with some recommendations from this club and some viewing.

4. Who is your favorite fighter.

Don't have a professional one yet.

5. What was the first fight you ever saw.

No clue tbh. Saw the better part of it at my mate's place (I don't get cable).

And whether or not I get accepted, any chance some of you can reccomend me some of the better DVDs/Blu rays of past fights? Cheers.

[Josh_R]

Ahh yes a new applicant. Of course you can join. Feel free to join in on whatever, or start a topic of something you know.

Did you catch episode two of TUF. My pick Kyle Noke fought the first fight. Caught him late in the 1st round and choked his ass out wit a triangle. I have learnt never count out a Austrailian MMA fighter. Noke, and Sotiroupoulus are two that I never count out. He is also very down to earth. He used to be security for Steve Irwin, and his fanily. When he was getting started that actually paid for him to train wit Greg Jackson. Real cool dude.

Silver: I will find you some good videos of past events that i think you would really enjoy. Just give me a few days to compile the list.

[Furore]

I look forwards to those videos...

New topic, eh?
Well anyone into underground local events?
They've always been my favourite due to most of them basically having no rules bar what counts as a win. Haven't participated myself in a while, but that's mostly as I have a well paying job and would rather not screw myself up at this point in time. I've noticed with MMA as a sport getting more popular here some of the underground fighters are sporting MMA gloves and clothing even though locally there are no clothing requirements (hell my signature thing was flexible trousers or denim shorts [it was a sad day when I split the crotch of that pair] with either a hawaiian shirt or leather jacket and bike gloves).

I think most are questionably legal as they seem to operate on the outside, though most places the last few years have waivers and the like to cover their asses legally if there ever is a crackdown on them.

Oh and I remember going to some fights at Redfern one time at the advice of a mate who moved up there. No paperwork whatsoever and it was brutal as hell. Even had knife fights, though I've never personally been game to try that shit outside of a self defence scenario. Nevertheless it was interesting to watch and I think half of them must have been on drugs or just super psyched up watching what they could take.

I think the reason I find the idea of MMA so appealing of late was being involved with those types of events in the past, maybe kinda like a grassroots thing. There's just something so much more interesting about watching everything a fighter can do as opposed to specific movesets with a ton of regulations. Never got into Wrestling because of it...

[Josh_R]

Had my pro fight finally. Winner by 2nd round submission VIA Gogoplata. I plan to give Aoki a run for his money. jk. My trainer is trying to schedule me a fight with Robert Drysdale. F*ck that. I don't wanna get a bone snapped by his ass.

Well anyone into underground local events?

Hell yea. I run our local underground fight scene. It is very organized. We have some rules. But they are ones absolutely necessary. It is called the WWFL(West Wood Fight League). We have fights every other Saturday night. You come put up $40 a fight. Winner takes all. Sometimes were do tournaments. $100 a person. Winner gets all of it.

I've noticed with MMA as a sport getting more popular here some of the underground fighters are sporting MMA gloves and clothing even though locally there are no clothing requirements (hell my signature thing was flexible trousers or denim shorts [it was a sad day when I split the crotch of that pair] with either a hawaiian shirt or leather jacket and bike gloves).

The only clothing requirement we have is no shoes, and no blue jean pants. Other than that you are good. Shoes wouldn't be a problem, but we are throwing head kicks and shit. And we already gave some guy brain damage cause he got kicked by a guy wit shoes on.

As for myself I am always wearing fight trunks. Shit I am sponsored by RVCA so why not.

I think most are questionably legal as they seem to operate on the outside, though most places the last few years have waivers and the like to cover their asses legally if there ever is a crackdown on them.

Hell yea wavers are essentially for things like that. We make every fighter sign one before a fight.

Do BJJ has opened up a world of movements, and techniques that I never knew I could do.

On a side note. UFC 112 was awful. I am a little happy that B.J. Penn lost his title to Frankie Edgar, but the Silva V Maia was awful. After the fight Dana stood up, and apoligized to the fans for the fight. Hughes V Gracie turned out how expected Hughes by TKO. Call him the Gracie Hunter now. Give him Royler, and Rolles and call it a done deal..
