Bloody Elbow Fight Video Challenge

Bored2_medium

Here's my situation: my girlfriend is having family in town and it's one of those situations where it's all family and not me. I'm cool with that and got a decently priced room in the Mayflower Hotel in downtown in DC (yes, this is the hotel where former New York state governor Elliot Spitzer was taxing Ashlee Dupree). Most of my friends are out of town or busy with family, so it looks like I'm riding solo tonight.

What I need from you folks is a little help. I need something to watch tonight and as lame as watching YouTube videos by yourself in a hotel room might sound, it's the kind of peace and quiet I could really benefit from.

If you'd be so kind, post links to the best fight videos to watch tonight. The only premium I place on the videos is length. I'd rather not watch 20 minutes per fight if I can avoid it. Other than that, post brawls, timeless classics, beatdowns, back and forths, or whatever you fancy.

I've certainly got my go-to's, but sometimes it helps to get a new perspective on what to focus on. Any help you folks can provide is appreciated.

Kampmann v. McFedries - UFC68

One of the most entertaining fights, in my opinion. Kampmann shows a serious chin and comes back with a slick arm triangle putting McFedries to sleep before he even realizes it.

Ah...

Zab Judah. How I loath thee. My wife worked for a high end hair salon in Chicago and his press agent (or someone involved with him in a media relations capacity…I should be careful not to misrepresent who it actually was) was a client. My wife asked me if I wanted her to set up an interview with him (back when I was writing for BadLeftHook) and I couldn’t think of anything I would want to say to the guy so I had to politely say “um…no I don’t think that would be a good idea”

Small side story while I’m talking about her old salon. Carlson Gracie lived in the same building where her salon was so he would stop by every day to smile, wave or wink at her. She was legitimately heartbroken at his passing.

yeah being there live was sick. Too bad the rest of the card was lackluster, but oh well we got to see the rise of Demain Maia.

by "Mr. NC-17" on Dec 30, 2008 3:03 PM EST up reply actions  

Demian Maia has made me plenty of money. I’ve been on him in his last 3 fights. I’m a lil’ torn on what to do against Sonnen though.

by phyteguru on Dec 30, 2008 3:10 PM EST up reply actions  

Really? I have Maia defeating Sonnen fairly quickly.

Filho beat Sonnen in their first matchup, and the only reason it didn’t end quicker was because Sonnen was able to drop Filho a few times with punches. Maia is a bit better and non-lackadasical in his avoidance of damage in the standup game. I think Maia easily avoids an onslaught, and subs Sonnen. Sonnen showed some piss-poor submission defense in the first bout with Filho.

It’s obvious as well that Filho had huge problems cutting and gassed instantaneously as soon as he had to defend takedowns. Maia won’t have that problem.

Editor-in-chief of MMA-Analyst.com

by Leland Roling on Dec 30, 2008 3:16 PM EST up reply actions  

Me too,

and it is not like Sonnen has hands of steel or anything. Maia should pretty much walk right thru him.

by dnevil001 on Dec 30, 2008 3:19 PM EST up reply actions  

Filho was just so terrible in those fights. It was obvious he was having problems cutting, and to be honest, in that first fight, Filho looked like he was done after the first flurry. The only saving grace was that Sonnen’s submission defense is atrocious.

Palhares vs. Negao

Both from Fury FC when he won the tournament. Acacio had a nice Power Bomb in that event as well where the guy literally fell out of the ring and got hurt hitting the concrete floor because it was so violent.

Highlights: Palhares shows why he could be the next Paulo Filho as far as power submissions go. Note: Two ankle breakages.

The Sanchez/Diaz fight is a great fight. It’s the fight that officially pushed me over the line from being a fan to completely obsessed.

Couple Boxing Matches

two of my favorite have to be Gerarld McCllean vs. Jillian Jackson I

and

Marvin Hagler vs. John “The Beast” Mugabi.

The shots Hagler took from Mugabi is just unreal. The fight itself is a back and forth war, same with G-Man and The Hawk.

God bless Gerald. this is him at his awesome best.

I don’t think that’s the point. He doesn’t want to know where to find the fights (I’m sure he’s well aware), but rather, he wants some suggestions regarding which fights we enjoy that he should check out. We’ve all heard of MMALinker, MMAScraps and MMARoot…

It’s true. I am a donkey.

So Luke how many videos have you watched thus far?

Luke...

If you have a hotel room to yourself and no girlfriend around, you should definitely consider indulging in some good ol’ fashioned internet porn. I’d suggest you make a new thread for suggestions on that one though. Might be a BE post record breaker.

Some more recommendations...

Luke, hope your comment above wasn’t sarcastic….
Anyways, here’s some other great, overlooked fights:

Akira Kikuchi v. Jake Shields II – Shooto:
This is an amazing ground war akin to that of Sakuraba-Newton

Akira Kikuchi v. Shinya Aoki II – Shooto

The links are getting cut off, so cut and paste the whole URL. Include -p30 to the first link for example.

Have a fun trip man.

UFC 13 Ultimate Force – Jack Nilsson vs. Saeed Hosseini
-One of the harder to find of the rare UFC fights. Considering what the rules are like today, its a pretty awesome finish, three illegal techniques at the same time

UFC: Silva vs. Irvin – Nate Loughan vs. Johnny Rees

-Nothing special, just the other random fight I had uploaded to DM

Well...

I just finished a bottle of E & J brandy while watching Pride Shockwave 2006… damn, it was a good night of fights.
