Just seen the K-1 card.

Mirko CroCop vs Hong Man Choi

CroCop really has gone down the pan. It seems now he is just living off the "CroCop" label and fighting fights he can easily win. He did say when he left the UFC that he wanted to go back someday, but if this is the way he's going, I doubt we'll ever see him hold a title worth anything.

Nope :rofl:

The knockout of Silva was sweet by Jackson and Kongo beat the **** out of Al Turk, but Mir and Nogueira was the fight of the night if you ask me. When they replayed it and showed Lesner's reaction that was great :D

It's too bad about Griffin though, the guy's kicks are always dead on, but oh well that's how things go!

About Lesnar, it's a good thing he doesn't consider himself an actual champ yet until he can defend it. If he wins it against Frank, things will look pretty interesting.

Evans should be thrown out of the UFC. When he grabbed his crotch at Forrest, that showed beyond a lack of class, that showed hes a complete POS. Who cares how well he fights, if hes such a horrible human being.

3713166d.gif = :no:

It's not the first time is it tho he has done something similar to this? I remember not to long ago he was commented on here about his celebration.

Yeah that did suck, but then I remember Roy Jones Jr. in his prime when he used to constantly diss his opponents.

It's UFC, that's what happens when you go mainstream and have a president like Dana White

Yeah, he did some nipple tweak crap. I mean, its 1 thing to be confident and mess with someones head, its another to just act like some ghetto trash.

Dana white can't be faulted for this.. and you can't say it's because UFC is mainstream either because that's just ridiculous. I've watched the UFC since the beginning and other then a FEW names, everyone has been incredibly classy compared to other sports. This is a problem with Rashad, nobody else. He did this with Chuck when he knocked him out, by showboating after he won, and never once going to chuck's corner to see if he's ok. Don't see the problem with that? Well even rampage went to see if wanderlei was ok, and they don't like each other. Now, his latest antics are even worse, sure it's fine to smile and let the other opponent know that you can take what he got, but to act the way he did is not ok imo. What really gets me about the way Rashad acts is that out of the ring, the guy is so calm and well spoken and you never hear him say a bad thing about anyone, he's actually a really nice guy. I don't understand why he turns into an ass when in the ring sometimes.

I give the guy credit though..i've doubted him for ages, i thought his early fights were boring and he wouldn't become much in the LHW division. His last fights he's really shown some growth and real talent. However, that said i really, REALLY do not think he stands a chance against the top people in that division, if you look at his track record, Griffin and Liddell are the only 2 people that possessed any sort of threat. I really don't think he stands a chance against someone like rampage, or even wanderlei for that matter. But hey, i might get proven wrong again.

Please, Kongo murdered no-one. He should have been DQ'd. That wasn't even close to an accidental knee. And it's funny, how all over the internet, the only people that found what Evans did funny, are his fans. People who have no attitude whatsoever about him find it crude. Oh, and Bubba, I think the reason he is such an ass in the ring, is that is the time when the real him shows through. He has a great facade outside, but when e gets in there and gets worked up, its all reality.

How does that make no sense? Evans cannot keep up his nice guy facade when he is in the ring and his blood is pumping. So the punk ass that he really is comes shining through. Pretty simple to understand.

As for Kongo, why? Because he split dude and there was so much blood? Hell, Evans' on Forrest was better, because it took real skill. Kongo was shown for the chump he is by Herring.

A little debate that has been popping up on some of the MMA forums:

Did CD Dolloway tap?

l_c4ee6646c34441888939d87fd5db369f.gif

I certainly thought I had seen something during the match, and in the GIF it is looking slightly like a tap at the 3:53 mark. Notice how Yves takes a look just after the alleged tap. Although he wasn't positioned to see the tap at the time, I'm thinking if he was, he may just have called the fight TKO by Submission for Massenzio.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
