Embarrassing doesn't even sum up The Silva/Griffin fight. I've never seen someone get clowned that bad in MMA, ever.

On a side note, WEC is on Versus tonight for free. Lots of good, exciting fights. Check it out.

And I thought KenFlo was putting up a good fight, but Penn is just the bigger stronger guy and he showed it as soon as he took Florian down. Just needed to wait until the 4th round for that to happen.


Kenny Florian should have listened to his corner, and started throwing combinations to set up those takedowns. Pressing BJ was the right idea, but someone who isn't a takedown artist isn't going to get BJ to the mat. He should have mixed in his strikes, in which KFlo has good stand up, and tried a more varied game plan.

I think mentally KFlo was overrun by the fight. It looked like he wasn't entirely willing to press. I'm not saying he would have won, but I didn't understand his game plan at all.

haha, where do you find these collages?

But I feel bad for Griffin; seems like a good guy, and he was very badly outclassed.

Yeah, KenFlo was disappointing, I expected more of a show.

Machida has the belt.
I didn't hear about him being set to fight Shogun.
Hmmm, when is that one scheduled?

This will be interesting, though.
LHW is a fun division to watch.

From the Sherdog Mixed Martial Arts forum. Probably the biggest MMA forum online... Ever since Chuck Liddel was KO'd very badly by Rashad, people have been photoshopping nasty knockouts or other silly moments in fights in threads called " Shoop that ( insert fighter's name here ) " ... I don't know why they say shoop instead of shop, but that's how it rolls.

http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f7/shoop-forrest-1029349/

That's the current thread for Forrest

One of my favs, if you remember Forrest ran like hell out of the ring:

There should be a Bisping/Griffin fight now. For credibility.

Griffin would destroy Bisping. 2 different weight classes, Griffin 205 and Bisping 180. Plus, Bisping is a small 180, where Griffin is a pretty big 205.

Yeah, Griffin would wreck Bisping. Although Bisping could submit him.

Guys, I think he was saying they should fight for credibility since they both lost nearly all of theirs, not that they should actually fight.

Besides we all know Bisping would get killed if they actually fought.

Anyone going to watch the Carano / Cyborg fight tonight?
I don't have Showtime, so I'll cath the UFC100 re-run, since I missed it last time.

Regarding Carano / Cyborg; who will win?
Cyborg is pretty tough. Carano's training under Couture, right?

Should be a pretty close call, but I am going with Cyborg, just because she seems meaner.

I hope Carano wins, she's too damn pretty to take too many shots to the face.

Thx for the vid.
I kind of suspected Santos would win, though.

I have no idea why Gina let Cyborg stand up when she had her mounted, she threw like 2 punches then stood up.

If it was any other fighter who had a clue, they would of capitlized on such an oppourtunity.

In my mates house the other night we were all wrecked and some pretty girl got mashed up by a dyke in an MMA fight and it made us all really uncomfortable, haha.
