Robsco 1319 posts	Monday 4th February 2008 at 22:32 I only managed to catch the last 2 fights, being Frank Mir vs Brock Lesnar, and Nogueira vs Tim Sylvia. Both of which were absolutely spectacular. Brock Lesmar is obviously a powerhouse, and I must say I had my doubts, after not seeing much of Mir (although hearing a lot!). For ground-n-pound Lesmar was a devastating force, I certainly wouldn't wanna be taking that beating, although saying that it did appear a tad sloppy. Yet again the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Mir took hold and snapped a very nice knee-bar, and it looked like it was right on the button, an inch here or there would have possibly seen a different outcome - pure class. Nogueira's fight against Sylvia saw another battering taken, I'd be surprised if Nogueira could see fully from what looked like two pretty swollen eyes. After a few good attempts at a takedown, it was obvious Sylvia wasn't going down easy, especially in the 2nd round watching them dance. The biggest dissapointment surely was Nogueira getting the takedown right on the bell at the end of the 1st round. The final takedown and guillotine, with an arm inside showed the full devasting technique on show. The Admin Guy

I hope he gets another chance lets not forgot was only his second mma fight! NOG NOG NOG NOG how much punishment did he take and what a guillotine! ______________________________
spider Regular 235 posts	Tuesday 5th February 2008 at 10:31 It was a pretty good strategy for a guy with his athletic ability to swarm Mir when you take into account some of his fights. Leg lock was always the obvious weak point against larger less experienced opponent. Tim Sylvia used his usual take-down defence of grabbing the cage and letting go before the ref saw. Joe Rogan said he doesn't know why so many people hate Sylvia, I have a huge list of reasons, does anyone else?

I've not seen that much of Sylvia to pass comment personally, although I've heard things on the grapevine, I need to watch a few of his fights first I think. The Admin Guy
Kung-Fu Spectator 31 posts	Friday 8th February 2008 at 04:59 I thought the entire card was good. Earlier on, one of Renzo Gracie's students and a long time mma fighter returned to the UFC and locked in a TIGHT arm inside guillotine, won the fight. I think his name was almeada but i dont know. Mir was always one of my favorites and Im glad to see he's back to doin what he does best; submitting people fast. and of course i love to see sylvia get smashed.

spider Regular 235 posts	Sunday 17th February 2008 at 18:28 Tim has tested positive for drugs in the past. Wears his belt shopping. He talks a good fight, but then can make the most exciting match up boring. He doesn't engage, walks backwards at all times, stops the take down against the cage, then turns in and presses them agaist the cage without attempting anything until the bell. Boring, boring, boring. That was a bad ref call against Andre, lucky for Tim. He is only in the UFC for his height, he has no skill, and he's still a top competitor only because of favourable calls and scoring. His scores don't reflect that he's lazy and not attempting to fight. Lastly, the way the irritating, boring, lazy, cheating, gangly %$#@er looks. I hate him for ruining so many fights and I want him to lose constantly until he is kicked out.
