[jmt225]

So this is what James Irvin is up to these days...

Very well may be the most ******ed shit ever.

Ah man I saw that on Middle Easy last week and forgot to post it, yeah it's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

I remember about a year ago I saw an article on XARM, I couldn't believe it was real. The guy who helped found it, who I believe was one of the original UFC guys, said it was the next big thing in combat sports

 

[INDYjon22]

I don't get it. Is it arm wrestling, but with punches?

 

[JWGunslinger]

I think, that's what I've gotten from it. I cannot believe that any one single person could think its a good idea/cool. But it's good for some laughs.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

There is one video I saw, it was brutal. One guy just kept kicking the other in the head and the other guy was out on his feet, but he kept his grip with the others guy's hand, and the guys doing the kicking refused to pin him, and to my slim understanding of the rules that means the fight has to continue

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Anyone see the Jones/Hendo preview? They actually used sound bites from the Hendo/Fedor fight, including mentioning Fedor by name

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Edgar's moving down to 145 and wants to fight in December.

God, I'd LOVE to see him fight Aldo. Mendes would be a good first fight for him.

Post the vid. I HAVE TO see this.

Around 3:50 the kicks start.

[JWGunslinger]

SO glad Edgar's at 45, definitely need to see him against Mendez then Aldo. So excited to see it him there and 55 free of point fighting!

Watch some people see this and say stuff like, "look how stupid MMA is!".

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Miguel Torres has been released again. He has already signed with Titan FC and has a fight in November

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Ugh, I was hoping we'd get the Faber vs. Torres matchup. Made a lot of sense for both guys.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

As a fan of both guys that would have been a fun fight

 

[JWGunslinger]

Cody's picking a fight with Edgar on Twitter, you'd think after that embarrassing loss to Mendez he'd slow down a little on the trash talk. But thats part of why I love him.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

He is a crazy bastard and I can't help but root for him.

 

[JWGunslinger]

Thats how we all feel

 

[Fizzy]

Rumor has it that Hendo is out of 151. Fucking old man...

 

[Turd Ferguson]

I was getting as psyched for this fight as I was for Silva/Sonnen.

GAAHH

 

[Richard Blonoff]

I haven't heard anything yet. Kinda worried, can't think of anyone they would bring in on short notice other than Machida and Jones came out a few days back and said Machida didn't deserve another shot

 

[Da Prophet]

Well that sucks. I was looking forward to seeing Jones vs. Hendo.

 

[Fizzy]

Just a highly subjective rumor at this point, guys.

 

[Fizzy]

Press conference is being held by Dana regarding UFC 151 at 2. Nobody seems to know what happened, but it's safe to assume it involves Dan Henderson and is not a good thing.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Sonnen is pushing for the fight. Let's do it.
