kos will lose to a good bjj guy im telling u ive seen a lot of his fights thats his hole in his game see how easily diego took his back he might be a good wrestler but i think he has a big hole in his game and its BJJ
I dunno if Kos came up with that strategy, but if he did, i have alot more respect for Kos, considering i didnt have any to begin with lol.. Kos isnt a great fighter by any means, he just exploited a weakness in Diego with great results..
he still needs to go through the ranks like karo and even bj penn im taking penn before karo even though those should by awesome matches
Diego proved himself already beating all those guys, but Kos just exploited a weakness, id still say Diego is a way better fighter than Kos. Koscheck needs to fight Riggs before id even consider him a B level fighter, Riggs is the gatekeeper at 170 heh.
i liked diego right from the start but he is a nut case and like BV says hes gotta get his mind right. they call chuck liddell the iceman because he a cool m*therf*cker. no games he says he gonna come in the ring and knock some one out and he does it. take notes kids someone like chuck liddell takes the pressure off him self by just being confident. i never got in a fight i thought i would lose not even the one i did lose i chased that f*cker with my eyes crossed and my hands down and i took such a beating. he never wanted a rematch because he said i could take to much abuse LOL i walked that boy down like the terminator and he just kept hitting me. so what was it that made him scared of me? confidence, there was no way i could allow some one to beat me till i quit. but on the diego side of this coin my pride would allow me to grab this guy and hang on for a sec to get my sh*t together. i just kept thinking as soon as he gets close enough he’s gonna eat a huge left. i lost that fight.

IS THIS RUMOR TRUE THAT GSP MAKES 350K PER FIGHT ALSO?
@PATRICK,
Not sure but I would doubt it. GSP did just resign a new contract, but since Texas hasn’t released the salaries from UFC 69, we really don’t know what he is being paid. I can’t imagine it is $350k though. Its probably more in the $150k – $200k range I would think
UFC 74 (8/25/07)

Y DONT U DO A TOP TEN SECTION????
@Patrick,
What do you mean? Have me do my own top ten every month? Or have an MMA HQ top ten for all you guys to vote on and decide?
DOC
I WOULD SAY BOTH …. THAT WOULD BE A KICK *** ADD ON TO YOUR SITE….. THAT WAY WE CAN VOTE AND U CAN SEE WHAT OUR VOTES MATCH UP TO YOURS???
yea that top ten is much much better
Hey Doc,
Let us vote……..we can’t do any worse than the dumbazez.
Yeah its not a bad idea. I’ll have to try to put something together that will allow us all to vote. I’m sure I could just have everyone email in their top 10′s to me but then I’d have to go through them all and calculate it all out. Thats what computers are for, haha.
I’ll try to put something together if I can.
yo yo everyone/anyone, can anyone tell me where i can see the tito/liddlell 2 fight again, i went to youtube and dailymotion and i can find it?
@todd
lol you gotta do like me and record the fights on dvd right from pay per view.
@dr j
yes top ten voted by the real fans thats a hell of an idea
The top ten voting post is probably the best idea I have heard in a while. Please do that Doc, it would be really cool.

it’s here, but too many commercials….
http://www.buzzhumor.com/videos/6141/Chuck_Liddell_vs_Tito_Ortiz_2_UFC_66
I think i know why chucks takedown is so great, i think it is because while and during his sprall he underhooks his opponents arms and that prevents them from even still grabbing him still even when he spralls i wonder why i havnt seen anyone else do it, im gonna have to look a little closer and fights and how they sprall though.
@patrick
yeah man noticed that! pretty neat.
LOL Dennis, no its not me in the avatar.. its a cartoon drawing bro lol. Is that you in your avatar? you bear a striking resemblance to the iceman hehe.
Man i hate getting on after work no ones ever one but.Patrick ur idea on the mma top ten for mmahq fans is a great idea.And the top ten for mmaontap is so much better MMAWEEKLY IS G*AY
FINALLY……………….we all agree on something!
YES SIRS
DOC
DO YOU EVER SEE CARLOS CONDIT COMING TO THE UFC? ALSO DO YOU THINK HES A GOOD FIGHTER
@PATRICK,
funny you mention condit. I just posted about his next title defense in the WEC on June 3. I think he’ll be in the WEC for a while since he is the title holder.
WHEN WE GONNA SEE JOE RIGGS?
Joe Riggs had to pull out of the last WEC where he was supposed to fight John Alessio. Had some serious back problems that he finally had surgery to correct. Hopefully we’ll see him back in a couple months.
riggs is one of those guys who dominats smaller shows but will never be a champ
