MMA GSD For October: Where Michael Bisping Still Makes "Toilet Store" Jokes.

[jmt225]

The problem with him winning via a strike is that he might resort back to thinking he's a K-1 Level Kickboxer, thus abandoning his greatest attribute, which is of course his BJJ.

And say what you want about M-1, but they truly do put on some entertaining shows. Those Russians really fucking bring it.

 

[Fizzy]

Speaking of M-1 and Vinny, they tried to get Vinny to come to Russia for three weeksand train Fedor for his fight. Catch is, they weren't paying him anything. They said he should be honored to train with a legend and that should be his compensation.

 

[The Best]

I really like Vinny. He was obviously one of the stronger fighters in his TUF class, and his jiu-jitsu is incredible. Just as Fizzy said, hopefully the UFC signs him again.

 

[Via Armbar]

M-1 shows are almost always awesome and are full of finishes. As far as Vinny goes, a BJJ wizard obviously but he's always come across as a guy who will be his own worst enemy. As jmt pointed out, he loves to imagine himself as an incredible striker but aside from a hefty high kick he is lacking in the stand up and at elite levels of the sport that is a death nail. I'd like to see him change camps, possibly hooking up with a camp like AKA who have a good mix of strong wrestlers and underrated strikers.

 

[INDYjon22]

I always thought Vinny was a jackass. He came off that way on TUF when he disrespected Big Nog. Brilliant BJJ practitioner, but not worth the UFC's time if you ask me.

 

[Via Armbar]

He is a a douche for sure. In the end though it comes down to having the best fighters in the world in the UFC. Is he one of them? Strictly BJJ I would say absolutely but MMA isn't just BJJ...so no I don't think he's one of the best in the world.

Hathaway is out of the UK card, sucks for them. I've never been overly impressed by Hathaway. He beat on oddly off Diego and a severely overrated Rick Story. He is a top 20 talent, maybe top 15 but will never be a contender.

 

[Fizzy]

I don't think he's a douche. I like him quite a bit, however that may be my inner BJJ fanboy talking.

 

[jmt225]

I had no opinion one way or the other regarding Vinny Magalhaes as a person until earlier today when I read the bitching and crying he did about M-1 on his Facebook page... it really made me think less of him as a man. He seriously needs to grow up.

 

[Fizzy]

Jake Shields and multiple people were complaining about how Strikeforce promoted his fight against Hendo. It happens.

Anybody who survives that has my utmost respect as a man. That's manning the fuck up right there. Plus, from what i read, he is a huge family man. That's another reason he has my respect as a man. Most people who raise, provide, and protect a family has my utmost respect as a man.

 

[jmt225]

Hilarious video...

[INDYjon22]

I am basing my opinion on his stint on TUF. That's just the way he came off. I certainly respect him as a fighter. Anyone who can get in an octagon or cage gets my respect. And if he is a family man then my hat is off to him, but he rubbed me the wrong way on TUF. The way he talked to Nog was just rude. If he continues to win then maybe I will change my tune and support him in his quest to return to the UFC. He is a very talented fighter.

As far as Guillard, never believed or bought into the hype. He has always, and probably will always, be an average to slightly average fighter with good wrestling and solid striking. Never an elite fighter and a suspect chin.

Hilarious video...

When the video started I had no idea what to expect, hot damn that was amazing.

As for Vinny I have respect for him as an amazing BJJ practitioner and a decent Mixed Martial Artist, but as a person aside from being a good father and husband I think he is a cocky douche. On TUF I originally got that kind of jerk vibe from him and then as the season went on I disliked him more and more, finally setting my dislike of him in stone when he was disrespectful to a legend in Big Nog, you don't talk to a god MMA like that especially when he's a super nice and laid back guy like Nog.

 

[Fizzy]

GSP is injured and out of the Condit fight.

 

[The Crock]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Condit4InterimChamp.

 

[Fizzy]

Hes only out for a few months. No need for an interm champ

 

[The Crock]

The article I saw said "unspecified" so I just assumed it was bad.

 

[Fizzy]

Dana said a few months on his twitter

 

[jmt225]

Now I'm sort of relieved the Nick Diaz debacle went down. What a heartbreaker it would have been to see GSP/Diaz get called off this close to the fight.

I wonder if the UFC will give Condit another opponent or just bump Diaz vs. BJ to the main event?

 

[Fizzy]

They bumped Diaz/BJ to the main event and Condit will wait for GSP to get healthy.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

LOVE how Nick winds up back in the main event.

 

[CapnKabuki]

Cesar Gracie's comment to BJ on making it a 5 round fight: "Don't be scared, homie."

5 rounds of these two going at it? I'm for it.

Interesting stuff. If this is accurate, then UFC 136 had the lowest number of buys in quite some time.

 

[jmt225]

So the MMA Community was flipping their shit earlier since Nick Diaz didn't show up to the conference call. Dana took the fall for it though and said it was the UFC's fault, and Nick did end up calling in time to take some questions. Too fucking funny.

Oh, and already a new and even better Call of Glass video:

[Fizzy]

Fucking HATE Bob Arum.

 

[JWGunslinger]

Those buyrates are interesting, I would have thought that such a big deal as Edgar-Maynard 3 would sell pretty damn well but I guess not.

Call Of Glass videos are the best, that one is even better than the last because I get to watch a giant douche get smashed after he giggles like a school girl.
