[Centraal] MMA topic #81 Evans vs Ortiz

Voor de mensen die de serie Breaking Bad volgen.
Het viel mij op na het zien van Countdown to UFC 133 en ook in de rustpauzes bij Tito's wedstrijd dat zijn boxing trainer bijna precies op Jesse Pinkman leek en klonk.

Dana White saves the day

Considering the first five preliminary bouts on the card went to the judges’ scorecards, White had plenty of time on his hands to peruse his Twitter account for messages. One fan who was already inside the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania notified White that the UFC’s lighting equipment was severely obstructing their view:

quote:

Fan: ayoo @danawhite!! Look whats in our way. Can you help us out please?

DW: holy [expletive]!!! What seats are you in?

Fan: @danawhite yo row 8 section 220 seats 13-16…id appreciate it!!

DW: on it!!!!

Fan: @danawhite damn bro this is absolutely crazy!!!!! I cant thank you enough man..Def made it worth the drive from long island lmao! they moved us to better seats where it wasnt too close or too far that we had to look up at the monitor. #insane. guys a #boss.

However, White’s ticket-wielding ways didn’t stop there. Another couple had their passes stolen prior to entry and sent out a desperate plea for help:

quote:

Fan: @danawhite some [expletive] just stole my wife and i’s tickets.I don’t want to call the cops coz we got them from a tout.This was our 1st event! What a bad day….. Last time I go into Philly!

DW: where are you?

Fan: @danawhite we went home about half an hour away. My wife is pretty upset.

DW: if you want to come back I will take care of u

Fan: @danawhite are you serious? Where should we go? It’s my wife and I?

DW: call me right now at [*** *** ****]

Fan: @danawhite sorted my wife and I amazing tickets after ours were stolen! Thanks Dana! we got amazing floor seats in section 1. Close to brad Pickett. @danawhite hooked us up big time! More than we ever expected!

@danawhite is the man. He turned a very bad day into an amazing night for us!

Dana is dan misschien een enorme lompe boer soms, hij heeft wel absoluut het beste met de sport voor

Matt Hamill RETIRES

[ Bericht 2% gewijzigd door THEFXR op 08-08-2011 19:51:22 ]

Today is a sad day for me. After six years and 13 fights in the UFC I’m ready to hang up my gloves and retire from this amazing sport.

The UFC has been extremely good to me and given me an opportunity to make a great living. That exposure has allowed me options outside the Octagon as well. I just don’t have it in me to fight anymore and my last two performances have shown that.

I was ready to make this decision after UFC 130 but my friends, family coaches and most importantly my daughter encouraged me to give it one last chance. My career has been plagued by injuries starting with The Ultimate Fighter and disrupted my training ever since.

There hasn’t been even one training camp where I’ve been able to train without training around an injury. I have not been kind to my body and it has nothing left after 28 years of non stop competition. It’s time to finally give it a rest.

I can’t continue to fight without having the hunger and desire to do so. I can’t let my performances reflect on my coaches who are the best in the world and the reason I’ve made it this far.

I have fallen in love with the sport of Mixed Martial Arts and I will continue to coach at our gym Mohawk Valley MMA along side my teammates and help the next generation of fighters make it to the UFC. I also look forward to continuing my business ventures outside the UFC including “Hamill” the movie based on my life story set to be released this fall.

I want to thank Dana White, Joe Silva Lorenzo Fertitta and everyone at the UFC for the opportunity to make something special out of my life.

Thank you to Duff, Holmes, Bruno Tostes, Dave Kingwater, Renzo Gracie, Tim Greene, Daniel Gracie, Pat Popolizio, Ron Gross, Doug Blubaugh and Mark Dellagrotte.

Thank you to all my training partners who have shared their blood sweat and tears with me along the way. Thank you to all my friends and family for their unconditional support and most of all thank you to my fans! It’s the fans that have made this the truly special experience it has been.

The UFC has become family to me and I hope to be involved with the number one mixed martial arts organization in the world as a coach, ambassador and fan for a long time to come.

Maar zat er aan te komen

K1-Final 16 in okt

Matt Hamill was een redelijke goede MMA fighter die in zijn persoonlijke leven heel veel tegenslag
heeft overwonnen, maar ik denk dat het nooit een écht 'fighter' is geweest.

However, het was een leuke gast die bij mij de boeken in gaat als winnaar vs. Bisping

Matt Hamill

Alle respect voor hem en wat hij toch bereikt heeft. Wens hem alle goeds toe met wat hij verder gaat doen!

Dennis Hallman Explains UFC 133 Speedos: 'I Lost a Bet'

Ik geloof er niks van.

En als het al zo zou zijn, dan ben je toch totaal niet serieus met de sport bezig?

Dat ligt eraan wat de tegenprestatie van de persoon waarmee ie speelde was

Zin in!!!!

Struve moet Barry echt meteen neerhalen, op de grond is HD echt wel te pakken.

Heb er echt alle vertrouwen in dat Struve deze pot kan pakken.

Brittney weg en Chandella blijft
Onrechtvaardig soms deze industrie

Heeft Dana soms poep in zijn ogen? er moet toch een mooiere (donkere) vrouw te vinden zijn dan Chandella

Zolang hij zich niet mee laat slepen in Barry's stand up absoluut, zelfs Cro Cop kon Barry submitten, en die heeft echt een magere groundgame.
