Didn't know where to post this so I thought to stick it here whilst visiting and hopefully more experienced users can pass the word.

My Norton Software has in the past picked up links from MMAWeekly.com that contain malicious software (Tito Ortiz's interview about TRT is one I remember). My Nortons has now banned me from visiting MMAWeekly.com due to these concerns.

Just informing others incase they aren't using updated and good internet security software.

Cheers.

Dem whitebois gonna get raped. Most impressive winner gets next shot at title too, which would be sweet.
 
UFC on Fox 4

Don't you guys argue and blue before and after UFCs?



Just finished watching Machida v Bader. Thought Machida would catch him around round two. Nice short right hand by Machida, the same as what Tito caught Bader with, both times were due to Bader not adjusting upon distance closedown, albeit Bader rushed Machida with a one two (or a weird superman punch), as opposed to Tito rushing Bader the last time. Machida brilliantly slipped and blocked Bader’s stepping in one two (or weird superman punch) then drilled him. Wouldn’t fight Machida with a baseball bat lol, foot speed, hand speed, great defensive skills and accuracy! You can see why Machida gets next shot at the title ahead of Shogun. (Bader then tapped against Tito within seconds of Tito getting the guillotine choke). Are these signs Bader hasn’t fully made the transition from wrestler to MMA fighter yet. Fighters like Jon Fitch will sit defending a full on guillotine choke for half an hour without tapping. All easy for me to say sitting on my couch eating peanuts!



Seen bits and pieces of the Shogun v Vera. Vera looked more powerful. Might have been his undoing cardio wise. Fourth round Shogun locked on. Vera to get the pink slip (followed by Forrest and Hughes???).
 
Machida fight went as expected, but what was Bader meant to do.. He did have to rush/close at some point. Machida does seem motivated too. Hope he beats Jones, or Dan beats Jones.

Shogun looked the same as against Dan, but thats not good enough to be ready to fight Jones. Jones doesn't exactly go into wars/slug feasts.

150 this weekend, I think Benderson takes it, got to much over Frankie. Guillard vs Cerrone should be FOTN though...


Edit: BJ vs Rory is out for 152, sucks so badly, huge BJ fan (like everybody else), be awesoem to see him fight again.
 
I would have thought Bader would have gone for a power double, even though Machida would have trained for it in his sleep. He went in high, no level change or angle, I think he stuffed up. It didn't look right or logical. Not saying a double would have got Machida down, but Randy is a Greco Roman specialist and he couldn't use upper body (Greco) wrestling to get Machida down, doubts Bader (Freestyle wrestler) could have.

Jones v Hendo. Long versus Short. Sniper versus Bomber. Unless Jones has self destructed (DUI etc.) I thinks Jones should win.

Whats with the other Hendrsen, 150 pounder??? looks bigger than Forrest Griffin!
 
just finished watching Shogun v Vera. I rescind my previous comments about Vera to get pink slip. He has heart, he's smart, usually well prepared! Dana/UFC you can't.

I have not watched the fight yet due to IRL events. But just from personal experience defending against a rear naked choke and guillotines are one of the simplest things to do(Saying that the defensive action is simple actually stopping the choke is another story) and taught very very early in many martial arts also most trainers will pickup on it easily and its not like I get advice from UFC trainers, So I can only assume his trainers are a lot smarter.

As you said people can defend against them a long time. I have sat in one where they never got the choke but held me down so long and hard there thighs bruised my ribs.

On that note I doubt he just let it happen usually the opponent will pull a little move to get them off balance or just drop concentration so they can get under that chin.

Some things you can do to lift that chin are very annoying. All your concentration on keeping your chin down while there squeezing your ribs like a snake. Its tap, Take a breath and get choked or against someone like Tito option three would be let his legs break your ribs lol
 
Cheers NoOpen. I knew Tito had underrated BJJ and would probably feel like a gorilla grabbing onto you. Just know Bader is a work in progress.... GoldenBoy Nog used to call him.

Just watched it again (who needs lunch). It was a superman punch by Bader that Machida countered.
 
Ufc 150 This weekend bitches. Some decent fights even in the undercard. Not a really big name card but l think it will surprise some people

Main Event: Benson Henderson Vs Frankie Edgar
Jake Shields vs Ed Herman
Donald Cerrone vs Melvin Guillard
Yushin Okami vs Buddy Roberts
Max Holloway vs Justin Lawrence
 
Benson Henderson Vs Frankie Edgar -> Benson is a beast - dictionary definition. He'll knock out (KO) the hapless Edgar in the 3rd.
Jake Shields vs Ed Herman -> I just don't rate Ed Herman, and I don't rate Shields much higher, but I'll plump for Jolly Jake in this one.
Donald Cerrone vs Melvin Guillard -> Guillard has had him ego bruised and brought back down to earth. I expect him to soldier on now and pick up all the wins he needs. Guillard
Yushin Okami vs Buddy Roberts -> Buddy who? Big Boy Yushin takes one (about time).
Max Holloway vs Justin Lawrence -> Jezus..care factor? Ummm.... Lawrence!
 
Benson Henderson Vs Frankie Edgar. Henderson via tko. Too big, too strong, too powerful and his gas tank is a little higher then the little engine that could's as well. Dont see how frankie can finish him either as Bendo's borderline impossible to submit.

Jake Shields vs Ed Herman. Im going for another roughie as l have been in the past few events. Even though l think shields is going to be back to nearly his best at middleweight im picking herman. l think he has 'good enough' grappling to fend off shields enough to either get the tko win or decision.

Donald Cerrone vs Melvin Guillard. Gotta go with Do-Nald Cer-Ron-Nay in this one. Yoda would have put together a most boring gameplan to combat melvin in this one and that leads to donald via decision

Yushin Okami vs Buddy Roberts. Okami.... Its a lock.... Roberts should be fighting in KOTC still... The thunders going to win pretty easily via tko in the 2nd.

Max Holloway vs Justin Lawrence. Holloway. l think his mentally a world tougher then lawrence. If things arent going his way(lawrence) he buckles. Max via unan decision. Battering Lawrence on the feet and ground the last 2 rounds after weathering the strorm

RV tried to get all CandyFlip up in this bitch. Putting a little bit more thought in them. Still went for a herman roughie but l think hell pull it off. Need to get some points back.
