[Centraal] MMA Topic #64 Taking Toronto

Jammer dat de Engeland card meestal niet zo best is. En meestal gratis in Amerika, en dan een week later een grote "echte" PPV.

Zo neemt niemand het serieus natuurlijk.

No offence, maar dat is een flinke prijs die je per les moet betalen. Gelukkig ben ik goed voorzien hier in het oosten

Maar wie betaalt er nu per les (10 euro)? De all-in prijs (50 euro) is redelijk en haal je er dik uit met 4 dagen in de week les. Al zijn de tijden iets minder (20-22), waarom niet gewoon 18.30 of 19.00 beginnen?

10 april heeft onze dojo (R-Grip) meegedaan met een MMA evenement dat werd georganiseerd door Mike's Gym.
Onze boy Gary van Lange had van één van Mike's students gewonnen... en hoe!

Check de slam @ 3:50 die de ring een flinke deuk heeft opgeleverd...

Gary Van Lange (R-Grip) vs Junior (Mike's Gym) - 10th April 2011

Grappig, kwist niet dat Hans Nijman (gast in die groene trainingspak) nu bij Mike's Gym zit.

Geen idee of deze eerder is gepost door iemand maar 31 maart kwam Fedor langs bij sportschool Kops in Amsterdam.

Paar bekende gezichten:
- Gegard Mousasi
- Remco Pardoel (neerlands eerste UFC fighter )
- iemand die op Ruud Gullit lijkt (gigantische bos rasta haar )

Nijman doet dit al een tijdje. Ik heb hem in ieder geval al eens bij Manhoef in de hoek gezien en volgens mij zelfs een keertje al bij Badr Hari.

Qua drukte in LW heb je zeker een punt, maar het blijft toch wel krom mijns inziens.

Ik dacht dat Gerard Gordeau de eerste nederlandse UFC vechter was, aangezien hij in UFC 1 zat
Maar dit is niet gebaseerd op veel kennis hoor

Gordeau zat in UFC1, Pardoel begon bij UFC 2. Maar voor mij maakt het weinig uit iig, allebei UFC vechters vanaf het begin. Verder was Orlando Wiet ook een halve Nederlander en er zat nog een Nederlander in de eerste UFC's, ben zijn naam even kwijt. Hij heeft slechts 1x gevochten toen en die partij ook gewonnen.

Vind het juist lekker! Gelijk na werk eerst ff rustig eten, en daarna op me dooie gemak naar de gym. En dan na het trainen gelijk naar bed

Misschien dat Nottingham's finest Paul Daley weer terugkomt bij de UFC?
En dan ff als Main event tegen Dan Hardy

Wordt er nog ergens in Europa (liefst zuiden van Europa of Duitsland) een MMA fight gehouden in de zomer?

Wij willen namelijk met een vriendengroep er op vakantie naartoe.

The last time we talked about Ray Sefo, he was telling a story of the day he almost fought Alistair Overeem in a breakfast buffet in Japan. Story goes that Ubereem confronted Sefo at the table of a hotel restaurant to ask Ray why he cheered when Badr Hari defeated him at the K-1 Grand Prix in 2009. Ubereem told Sefo that 'he was next on his list' and Sefo told Alistair that he already contacted FEG about fighting him in an upcoming card. Apparently the conversation became so heated that their entourage had to separate the two.

Now in a strange twist of events, Ray Sefo and Alistair Overeem are linked once again, only this time they're both out an alleged six-figures a piece. Check out what Ray Sefo said tonight on Tapout Radio regarding K-1 owing him and Golden Glory an enormous amount of money.

"At this point they still owe me $700,000. From what I heard they're having some major problems. Their situation still hasn't changed. So it's still a waiting game, whether we're going to get paid or not. Like I've said to them after the last fight, I said 'Listen man, I am not fighting for K-1 ever again until this money is paid' -- I hear a lot of staff members, someone that worked for them for the last fifteen years just resigned. Right now, the email I got was that all further communications will go through Tanigawa, well the guy doesn't speak English so how are you going to be able to communicate with us?"

"The biggest problem is we go after them legally and they go bankrupt, then I'm stuck with attorneys' fees. Then it's a lose/lose situation."

"From what I hear from an inside source is that they actually owe Golden Glory $800,000. They're in such huge debt that I feel mad, angry and sad at the same time."

Props for Ray Sefo being owed $700,000 by anyone. Wish I could say the same, unfortunately the only thing that's ever been owed to me was a Barnes and Nobles gift card, and I collected it. Easily.

Crocop will have a UFC retirement fight!!!

This is from croatian sports site

Here is the translation of the most important parts!

According to MMA-Bay, President Dana White said that they will allow Crocop to do the last fight in his contract, for his retirement.Crocop already started to prepare for the fight!
Rumor has it that the opponent might be one of the legends of the sport, like Randy Couture and Antonio Minotauro Nogueira (Big Nog)

"Cro Cop has started training. Plans to do another fight as he doesn't want to finish his career with a defeat, but wants to leave as a winner", the MMA-Bay .

19/04/11 - Belfort on Anderson: "It was a lucky shot, I want a rematch"

Anderson Silva and Vitor Belforts recent fight generated a level of coverage never seen before in the Brazilian media. It captured a mainstream audience, with the event being reported on even by regular daily newspapers and TV programs. a boom for the mixed martial arts in Brazil which is still being talked about.

As if to underline that, Belfort appeared on UFC Sem Limites this week - an MMA program broadcast on RedeTV - to explained how he was caught by surprise by the Silva front kick which knocked him out early in the round.

The unique thing I did badly in that fight was not moving, [standing still] for too long. In the moment that I stopped, I didnt expect that he could land with that kick. Nobody, not even himself, expected that. He was shocked by the way he landed the kick and with the result of it.

"But I was doing very well and trained very hard. All the Brazilian and American fans, people from the whole world know how much I dedicated myself for that fight. I came from injury but I didnt feel scared to face him.

"On the contrary, I was in the fight but then that hit landed by chance. I believe what happened was just a one-off moment he had in the fight. He made the most of that and conquered the victory.

"I dont believe in luck. The more you train the more luck you have, but certainly that was a hit that he will land once out of one thousand attempts. I would like to get the rematch to be sure. It left a bad taste because I know I was feeling very well. Everybody says I was superior in the beginning of the battle, looking for the fight, and I know he was insecure to trade with the hands.

But Anderson is a very versatile fighter, he is very intelligent and has been coming off a sequence of wins while I came from injury. His timing inside the Octagon weighed a little. The moment I stood still, he caught me and executed me. But obviously I would like a revenge, a second chance. I think not only me but also everybody from Brazil and rest of the world wants it.

Belfort waits for news on his return to the Octagon and doesnt rule out the chance of performing at other weight classes if it pleases the organization and the fans.

Pffff.... Belfort
9 v/d 10 partijen tegen Silva verliest hij
