If Corey loses, is he the new Mirko?

[Johnson]

Johnson I was referring to the fact that he's never been a title holder in any organization he has been in. He has always came up short of the mark except for one tournament. Then he came to the UFC to be the next big thing and got beat by two relatively unknown heavyweights that weren't even in the top 10. Not only did he get beat, he got DOMINATED in both fights. And he got beat by Gonzaga with his own trademark left kick to the head.

And Johnson... what the hell did predator saying that was out of line? He didn't say anything negative about Cro Cop and said that he and his country were pulling for him. And you come out and say he doesn't know anything how his history? You need to check your attitude just a little.

if u watched the grand prix, you'd see that he won a big ole belt for the open weight grand prix TITLE, shogun won the middleweight grand prix and most people consider it to be worth more than the belt that wanderlei wore for like 6-7 years, wanderlei fought a lot of cans as did fedor, yes he got dominated by GG because he didnt train for the cage but he wasn't completely dominated in his last fight and he did break a rib in the first round so u could say he was pretty unlucky along with bein tentative

mirko is probably a national hero and it's a shame that one of his country men couldn't bring up the fact that i did as well as support his man when he's down, i'm not from croatia but i know i would, i don't care how many fights the guy DUMPS he's still 1 bad mofo

For those of you who think UFC is real nowdays i have some bridges for sale, 4 years ago it was but no more-sad to say. I'm indirectly in the biz and I hate the fact its like wrestling now selling the drama nad hype, there are other MMA fights that are real still.

 

[DeadPoked]

Fatboy you are going to have to go in a little more detail. Do you mean before Dana and the Fertida brothers that the UFC was real? 4 years ago the UFC wasn't that much different than today. I think that was before TUF got big so that could be what you mean.

What's so fake about the UFC today?

would u care to elaborate on this? i'm not gonna totally disagree with u and the biggest reason is that the way the ufc judges fights and another is how dana white favors his friends (liddell/couture etc.), it's funny how the iceman is a household name in america yet rampage has owned him twice and you'd be lucky to find 1 person out of 10 that knows who he is because dana hasn't promoted him 1 iota, the sad thing is rampage sells himself better with his personality than chuck ever did with his fists, u also have the ultimate fighter(90% are cans) reality show, which has helped them to find new fans and also bring in fighters that are already well known but they don't have to pay them jack

i remember a quote that dana had about saying this was the golden age of mma and the boxing promoters were gonna ruin it, i think the golden age has already passed and in large part due to guys like mr. white

Right

I Think You Are Right About The Judging Factor, I Actually Thought Mirko Was Going To Win When It Came To The Decesion. I Also Thought Dh Would Beat Rampage. If Earl Plays Shane Who Will Put Up The Money For Him? Are They Going To Have Any Of The Over Seas Players In This If It Continues?

 

[Johnson]

mirko lost the fight but he actually won it because kongo should of lost a point for kneeing him in the gonads, he was warned once, then warned again and right about the time he was warned a 2nd time he kneed him again! funny how in randy's fight GG grabbed the fence once and was penalized a point, yet i've seen numerous fights with guys grabbing the fence 2-3-4 times without any penalty, so clearly there's exceptions to the rules of the ufc

He is a national hero, oh yes. Believe me, he gets plenty of support from everyone. He got slightly negative critics from the press, but that was nothing compared to how he was disgusted with himself. Hopefully he'll bounce back!

Anyway, it's nice to see that CroCop has many fans around the world.

I really never thought I would see a cage fighting comparrison on a pool messageboard

If only pool could achieve the meteoric rise in success that MMA has in the past few years.

Well, being "directly" in the biz, I would just like to say you have no idea what you're talking about. It's 100% real.
Sometimes the decisions suck, but that's more of a case of state athletic commisions appointing boxing judges that don't properly understand mma.

Another know it all. You probably have never even been to a fight!

I hate to post this reply on this thread on this NG, but here goes:

I loved you on News Radio, Joe.

Thank you for responding to this nonsense Joe. Btw, no chance Royce taps you by the time he counts to 3, lol.
