MMA News and Notes

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I didn't see the show but it looks like Bisping did a real hatchet job on Cung Le's face.Le is one of my favorite fighters but yeah,not sure what he's got left in the tank.He might want to stick with being a movie star.
 
first omoplata submission in the ufc last night I believe.

I've never seen one done before. it's always used to sweep or gain position. props to killa bee

anyways, I thought the main event stoppage was a tad premature. it may have not changed the outcome but I think someone like ben has shown he's able to recover. but it wasn't a horrible stoppage. just a bit too soon.

I haven't seen the Macau card but saw the results. cung le got mirked pretty bad. i'll probably catch it tonight or tomorrow. also stun gun got ko'd. I gotta see that.
 
Korean zombie pulled out of October fight due to a shoulder injury.

damn another one? this totally blows

zombie and little nog pulls out more than ron jeremy
 
Barao pulled out of tomorrow's rematch with dillashaw


apparently he passed out while cutting weight today

ufc newcomer Joe Soto set to debut against another opponent on the same card gets a title shot against dillashaw.

Overeem needs to hang 'em up now. He's already talking about his next fight. He may be the first high profile death in MMA.
Everyone I was with picked Mousasi to win; I picked Jacare to finish with a submission. Mousasi is good, but almost too calm for his own good.
 
That leg was at a pretty freakish angle.
So what's the deal with Overeem,is he washed up at this point?
 
He's a very talented striker and grappler, but he can't take a punch. Between MMA and kickboxing, he's been KO'd 12 times.
 
out of his 14 defeats, only 3 were by decision

and 9 losses came by way of ko/tko, the most for any active ufc fighter

I've always felt he was a bit overrated even though I've always been a fan. anyone who has followed his career isn't surprised at losing to higher competition in the ufc.

he does though have some good wins as well. and also in his defence, he has 51 pro mma fights so there are more chances of losing, let alone by ko/tko

but bottom line for me is, he is steadily declining in his career
 
His technique, whether standing or on the ground, has been excellent the past few years. His biggest weaknesses are his chin and his cardio. His cardio has improved, but there's not much that he can do about his chin. His chin is sliding him out of the top 10. Everytime he gets hit, I'm thinking, "is that the shot?".
