watched the KO vid last night, man I love this sport. Still keeping my choice of Barboza's kick though.

That kick from Stephen Thompson is up there with the kick from Barboza for me. I still don't understand how he pulled that off.

Lolwut?

Strikeforce Marquardt vs. Saffiedine Start Time:
Prelims on Showtime Extreme: 8 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT(delayed on West Coast)
Main Bouts on Showtime: 10 p.m. ET/10 p.m. PT(delayed on West Coast)
I mean it doesn't matter since I will be streaming it. But why do they insist on doing this shit? Who the fuck wants to watch tape delayed sporting events? Only part that sucks is this is the same time as the San Fran vs Green Bay game.

That is a great kick and to pull it off at that angle with KO power requires so much dexterity. The Barboza kick is so much cleaner and less awkward though.

The Barboza kick looks like something straight out of the movies. It was so fucking perfect, and the KO so devastating, that it puts it above all the others.

Ya, Barboza is one of the all-time greatest knock outs. It will be in the sports highlight package forever.

I still say Pat Barry's punch against Shane del Rosario is the hardest I have ever seen someone punched in my life. I seriously think that punch ends most normal human beings life, lol.

Remember when Jon Jones jumped backwards over....umm..Bader. Like, reverse leapfrog style?

Well, imagine if he did that into a reverse triangle?




Flying reverse triangle!

That shit was slick, looked completely seemless as if that is his regular submission to defend singles.

Was just looking at the results for the MMA Awards and you guys were right about the Barboza kick. I had to google Phil Davis and check out his opponents. Remember that one armed kimora (sp?) he pulled off? That shit was in 2010. Doesn't seem that long ago to me. I was thinking it was in the past year. I thought his last anaconda choke would've been nominated but it wasn't. Anyways, he hasn't fought much over the past two years and award shows in MMA don't mean anything. Just thought I'd bring it up.

Judges shall evaluate mixed martial arts techniques, such as effective striking, effective grappling, control of the ring/fighting area, effective aggressiveness and defense.
Noons won the effective striking part. Couture won the rest. And ate 38 leg kicks.

Also I had him picked so, you know...

So instead of stealing Schiavello from HDnet aka AXS they steal Ron Kruck. FU Showtime/CBS

It's amazing how much Jacare's striking has improved. When he was in Dream it was pure shit.

Yeah, I didn't think he would have it that easy (then again the first time I watched Jacare was vs Rockhold, where he looked flat as hell). He mauled Herman.
