UFC is now the event to watch freak fights like Kimbo vs Houston Alexander and Mirko Crocop fight guys with one day notice like Anthony Perosh.

While it is clear that there is enormous growth and potential, what's murky is how MMA should be approached. What makes MMA a sport are the rules that keep the fighters safe. Things like Vaseline on the body, outside of the brows, jaw and nose, may give another fighter an advantage and lead to additional harm http://talkbets.blogspot.com/2009/02/mma-becoming-sport-or-returning-back-to.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Talkbets)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897245754754665953.post-8645079219669203056Fri, 06 Feb 2009 09:15:00 +00002009-02-06T04:21:17.112-05:00Fedor knows how to unwind.http://talkbets.blogspot.com/2009/02/why-fedor-is-best-p4p-fighter-in-world.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Talkbets)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897245754754665953.post-6379538740242523734Thu, 05 Feb 2009 09:22:00 +00002009-02-05T04:22:55.390-05:00Since when did applying Vaseline to the jawline become standard mixed martial arts practice. Oh, Phil Nurse, you have been caught with your hands on the jaw and various other places. Make no mistake though, BJ Penn got thoroughly dominated by Georges St. Pierre. Even BJ's brother, JD Penn said, "We Are Not Making Excuses, GSP was the better fighter"However, I'm not sure if he was really thinking http://talkbets.blogspot.com/2009/02/greasy-georges-goes-to-greasetown.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Talkbets)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897245754754665953.post-7489141165107791105Thu, 15 Jan 2009 05:56:00 +00002009-01-15T01:06:54.364-05:00Chris Lytle vs Marcus Davis looks to be a good scrap. Both guys are sluggers and can take punishment. I trust Lytle's chin over Davis. In the power department I give it to Davis. But Lytle has fought better competition and usually handles guys who leave openings like Davis does.Lytle's last performance was utter shit due to his cardio giving up.

Yoshida is a prize to the Sengoku organization. More wins for him means more viewers. He is, after all, Olympic GOLD! Sanae Kikuta doesn't have the power to knockout Yoshida. Kikuta can't submit Yoshida. Kikuta is smaller than Yoshida. So what the hell can Kikuta do? Maintain top position and draw out a win? Fuck, Kikuta is so boring.

If there are any sharps in MMA betting, the lines will move in favor of Daisuke Nakamara. Currently the line is +125 at Bodog. Nakamura should be the favorite against Tokoro. Nakamura is way larger than Tokoro and has faced better opponents. Nakamura is insanely huge. No way Tokoro should be in anyway a favorite.

Okami is a contender and unless Lister pulls off some miracle submission. Okami will bear down his power on Lister over and over. You would think Lister worked on his standup or act least invest himself on a much more active and dynamic submission game. I don't see how Lister has any chance in this fight barring any Okami ankle breaks or slips.

This fight should be closer than most expect. Chonan doesn't have the KO power to finish Blackburn and will likely take this one to a decision. Blackburn on the other hand is no slouch in the experience department, losing most of his fights to decision or getting TKO'ed. I don't see Chonan doing this to Blackburn.

Florian's worse matchups come from guys who can take him down and control his offense and elbows. A couple of factors here are holding me back from a larger wager. Namely, Stevenson's old cuts that might reopen from Florian's elbows and Stevenson's gas tank.

Koscheck will jab a bit to set up his takedowns. Alves will get taken down and Koscheck will do his business of controlling the fight and punching his way to a win. It will be important for Koscheck to pace himself but I believe he has a better tank than Alves anyway.

Both guys have good chins and are durable. Leben get rocked a lot in his fights and wins with a big shot. Bisping can be relentless and pick him apart. Leben's takedowns are nonexistent and quite amateur. Bisping is also the larger opponent and that will test Leben's cardio and energy.
