it wasnt that bad.

striking in mma will never look as "clean" or "Technical" as striking in muay tai or boxing. but they are completely different disciplines.

smaller gloves, the threat of takedowns, the different stances, and the scoring system, will make mma striking different.

Anderson, Machida, Mousasi and Manhoef never come close to that ugly. Anderson alone kills that myth.

Melvin caught Mark coming in similar to Pac vs Marquez. I'd love to see Hunt vs Nelson or Hunt vs the winner of JDS vs Overeem.

struve is a straight up dumbass. he doesn't use his size and reach enough and it's like he just doesn't give a fukk about defense. he's way to happy to just eat punches. he either just keeps his hands down or he does that weak ass cover-up and takes a straight line backwards till he runs into the cage.

he would be so much better if he stops fighting like an idiot.

Sad part is, the fight never even shouldve reached that point. Struve had a full mount, raining down str8 punches on Hunt, only was a matter of time till herb dean stopped it, and the dummy gave up the prime position to go for a half assed arm bar.

I'm glad Struve lost, he isn't that good, way over hyped. With the size that he has the fact that he's had now 13 fights in the ufc, and he still jus doesnt get it. He must be mentally weak, or has the worst coaches/training team in MMA.

:what: hes kind of a walking attraction but other than that hes rarely mentioned at all. Hes not good at any discipline, never had a ridiculous winning streak and hasnt achieved a career defining win..So who is this person hyping him?

This is the best Fuel card imo and a great card in general.

Struve has the longest win streak (4)in the HW division right now and Hunt has the 2nd longest (3). This a huge fight for the HW division.

Struve is a so called black belt in bjj, but if you have top control on mark hunt and can't submit him, your black belt should be taken away. and really who has struve tapped out, Lavar johnson, pat barry, chase gormley. these aren't exactly the who's who's of bjj skilled fighters.

Put Struve vs Gonzaga, let them duke it out, maybe put da fight in brazil. If bones jones ever comes up to hw, let struve be his 1st fight. dat would be interesting.

Finally get a rematch between Shogun vs. Lil Nog. No way the fight can live up to the original (one of the fights that really made me a fan of the sport), but I am glad to see it happening.

Words can't describe how good Shogun/Lil Nog I was.

Hendo/Rashad has been verbally agreed to. Plus, best of all we have:














:whew:












Leonard Garcia vs. Cody Mckenzie :wow:
