The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- UFC 300 ON NOW

Vitor could easily fit in either division. Gotta remember that back in the day he was a heavyweight.

I think vitor's mohawk gives him magical powers as well. Liddell experienced the same thing but mohawk power eventually fades.

Wouldn't be surprised if dude comes out throwing flying knees and roundhouse kicks, dude been fighting like he entered the invincibility code
 
Rockhold my guy too but I don't know if he'll ever be the same after that :lol:

I don't know man, this one is too close to call. I was hoping they wouldn't fight until one of them got the belt. With that said, I would give the slight edge to Machida, especially if he can mix it up and take him down.
 
Anderson Silva already using crutches less than 48 hours after surgery. Also, he's been asking the doctor every time he checks in on Anderson how long until he can start training again. He started asking the doctor about training even pre-surgery. You have to respect his heart and competitive nature. He back. Trust me. He back. :pimp:
 
I just want 1 more fight from Silva. May be selfish of me but just 1 more. Hate to see him go out that way. Maybe he can come back healthy and have one last great match, just like Mariano Rivera in baseball.

Put him in a handicapped match with griffin and bonnar. He can still knock both those dudes out even with a bad leg.

Maybe the bone in his leg will heal in that time but it won't feel normal for awhile.

I don't see him fighting until December 2014/January 2015.

thats whats said at the end of the espn piece. the recovery is just 3-6 months. then gotta add on top of that training and the mental aspect of it, it'd be at least a year before he'd be back. I honestly think he'd come back for the boxing match against Jones and then be done. He really seemed to want to do that.

speaking of that..


With Anderson Silva out of the picture, Roy Jones Jr. turns his attention to Nick Diaz

LAS VEGAS -- Among many other things, the gruesome leg injury sustained by Anderson Silva Saturday night rules out the chance of him boxing Roy Jones Jr. any time soon. However, Jones Jr. is apparently still interested in boxing an MMA star.

The former boxing champion, who attended UFC 168 in Las Vegas Saturday night, told MMAFighting.com that his top choice has always been to box Silva but now that that's off the table, he's very interested in boxing Nick Diaz. Jones Jr. said he told UFC president Dana White about his desire to box Diaz, and White told him he'd think about it. Given Diaz's contract with the UFC, White would obviously have to be on board with the idea for the fight to happen.

Of course, The 30-year-old Diaz, who walked away from MMA in March following his UFC 158 loss to Georges St-Pierre, recently turned down a rematch against Carlos Condit. He has maintained that he would only return to MMA if he was offered a chance to fight GSP or Silva, but he has also always expressed a desire to try his hand at boxing.

In 2009, both Diaz and Jones Jr. flirted with the idea of fighting each other, but due to contractual obligations the fight never materialized.

The 44-year-old Jones Jr. is still an active boxer, as he most recently won a match in Russia on Dec. 21.

Assuming he comes back, which I think he will, I wonder who he fights.
 
Go away Roy Jones. Distracting these guys to be in a pointless boxing match. The f out of here. Let Diaz come back to MMA first and foremost.

Respect Anderson to the fullest, I hope to hell he comes back but I fear it's futile like expecting Kobe to come back and do what he did before the injury. Both guys have already accumulated a lot of mileage.

Does the UFC have any rule against having titanium rods? Anderson will have one in his leg for the rest of his life...

Damb, I just stumbled upon Fightville on Netflix. Features Dustin Poirier when he first started fighting in his hometown Louisiana. I'm sure a lot of you have seen it but I just thought it was ironic that I found the documentary right after he beat Diego at UFC 168. It's crazy to see how far he came up and where he came from. Kinda sad to see the other fighter who was featured Albert Stainback, I'm sure he shares the same story as thousands of others who were fighters who never panned out.

Just seeing how hard Dustin worked and how much he really focused on making it I'm not surprised where Dustin is now. Like the dude even more now after the documentary. I hope he fights for the title one day.

Any other docs out there that I should know about? Besides the Anderson Silva one, I watched that one too.

I can't believe his recovery is listed at only 3-6 months. Gruesome injury. Thought a year minimum.

Its 3-6 months for the fracture to heal. But it may take longer for "soft tissue components" to heal. The doctor said he's estimating he can start training in 6-9 months and in a few weeks he could put increased pressure on his leg. And he's already using crutches. Despite how gruesome it was he was lucky that no ligaments tore or that he didn't have to have it amputated.
