Unfortunately I could not watch the fight between but even in defeat Lyoto Machida is a world class act. He said, 'I respect Rampage and think he is an incredible athlete." I personally didn't watch the fight but I know how the UFC works and since Rampage has the more popular name they usually give the close decisions to the more popular fighter. It's interesting that we don't have more karate guys like Machda but it's very effective because Karate is mainly how to defend and counterattack on strikes.
Since last year I have been doing BJJ so I like guys like Showgun, ANTONIO RODRIGO NOGUEIRA, BJ Penn, Nate Diaz,Shinya Aoki, etc too many to list.
I am no black belt and I have probably another seven years to go before that but I am getting the basics down. You really need to be in great shape and jugitsu is really a pure chess match. You need to have a lot of stamina and that is why in order to do bjj I swim for 30 min and I run for 30 min a day.
If you have a background in wrestling jugitsu should be easier for you than someont like me who has no wrestling background. The reason why I pkcked bjj is because most fights end up in the ground so if you can get the guy in an arm bar or a rear naked choke the fight is over. I also lost a ton of weight in the last year I was 227 lbs and now I am down to 180. I still have another 20 pounds I want to lose. It's really an awesome sport does anyone else here do jugitsu. Oh and yes I know it's called brazilian jugitsu because of Gracy it's really Japanese Jugitsu.
The one thing though I don't like about the UFC is Dana White. The guy screws the fighthters and how UFC is just getting too big. Now Pride and I know other entities are combining with the UFC and that is not good because White now has a monopoly of the best athletes, ahd he can basically screw them and give them jack. He get's so much money from these PPV events and the money that even the top fighters get is really nothing compared to what he pockets.
FU Dana White.
By the way DOES ANYONE HAVE A CLIP OF THE FIGHT?Comment

Split decision to Rampage?! Hell NO! The first 2 rounds were equal, the 3rd one was clearly for Machida. If anything, it should have been a tie, or otherwise definitely a win for Machida!Persian Pride running through my veins!

Yep I talked about that in my post and I was surprised to see Rampage lift Mechida's hand and give him mad respect. You coudl tell even Rampage was shocked by the decision complete bull$hit decision by the way.Originally posted by toofan View PostComment

Last fight I know of was UFC 122 where Amir Saddollah beat Peter Sobboda by unamious decision. By the way I didn't know he was 1/2 Irish and with a hame Amir Saddollah at first I thought he was of Arab decent. I always thought to myself why don't we have more Persians in MMA? Almost every Persian I encountered has some form of martial arts background. I"m doing BJJ and my friends are either in Mui Tai, Hapkido, Judo or something. I think perhaps it is because Persian mom and dads probably think it is a low class thing. After all if you are not studying engineering, law school, or med school anything else is uncivilized.Originally posted by EKBATAN View PostComment

Persiantiger, Im likin what uve said bout the machida fight.. I thought Machida won it as well.. really his style made him lose through the judges.. I wish he had just finished it in the 3rd.. maybe if he had not gone for the armbar and just kept tryin to ground n pound he couldve?
anyways I cant wait for WEC 53 when Kamals fighting.. and GSP ***CHECK fight for ufc 124.. good shitComment
