Well it looks like a live stream beacause it is streaming right now lol. So i am just assuming that it is.

Watching it on
Justin tv here.
Was Sakurai just fighting right now?

No
broadcast is on delay. K-1 match… I think it’s Urabe vs Kusakabe
Oh yea i saw boxing gloves instead of the mma gloves.
by bigislandboi808 on Dec 31, 2008 5:44 AM EST reply actions
These K-1 kids know how to go at it…
And it feels weird calling them kids since they are probably 1-2 years younger than me.
yup
all U-18. I wish there was an amazing talent in these kids matches to get me interested. A Tyson sort just dropping bombs
Yeah I spoiled the Hari/Oveereem
fight for myself. Not checking it again.
Oh by the way is Sakuraba the main event?
by bigislandboi808 on Dec 31, 2008 6:14 AM EST reply actions
I'm just waiting on Alvarez/Aoki
don’t know about you.
Yeah me too, and idk why but i find the Cro Cop match to be real interesting. Too bad we have to wait a while before that comes out.
by bigislandboi808 on Dec 31, 2008 6:19 AM EST up reply actions
I heard there’s a stream of the Cro Cop Hong Choi Man fight in Croatia, anyone else know about that?
Just wondering what you guys think
But who do you think kicks harder. Antoni Hardonk or Cro Cop?
I know kinda off topic but i just wanted to know. :D
by bigislandboi808 on Dec 31, 2008 6:47 AM EST reply actions
Yeah i was thinking that
But damn both guys hit like bulls running into you. Thanks just wanted to know.

That looks exactly like the knock out of wanderlei that Quinton did to him.
by bigislandboi808 on Dec 31, 2008 7:09 AM EST reply actions
I’m just waiting for the results of Aoki/Alvarez on Sherdog then im off to bed lol. Yes i know i’m cheating lol.

Why is the other guy wearing a mask? And a costume looking thing?
by bigislandboi808 on Dec 31, 2008 7:27 AM EST reply actions
Oh
I’ve never seen a person do that before. Wear a mask while fighting.

Well when you’re watching a fighter dressed as a character from a cartoon who is supposed to be a pro wrestler from another planet you kinda throw your normal sensibilities out the window.
The shoes make kicks softer
the shoes provide grip on the mat. He didn’t wanna slip cause he didn’t wanna have Choi sitting over him throwing punches. Choi wanted to take him down the entire time
HMC was looking only for the TD
If he had mirko on his back he had a damn good chance to win. Standing up Mirko was gonna be too fast for him. Same as Sefo. Choi is DANGEROUS if he can get somebody onto their back though.
Fedor has some of the worlds best armbars off his back
95% of the rest of the worlds heavyweights do not.
good fight kids
I think the guy in blue won the last round through controlling the action as everything else was pretty even.
It seems Fields
is in the business of building giant robots like the ones from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Its good to know what they do finally.
Man i can’t handle this lol. I’m pussying out guys. Have fun watching the rest of it.

Kawajiri winning was the only HUGE shocker
Overeem winning was definately a surprise too… But I believed all along that Mousasi had a good chance.
Ass Wipe
Did Aoki really wipe his ass all over the ring floor???
… reminded me of my dog when it had worms…. disgusting.

Or it could be the fact Melvin
Hits as hard as anybody in MMA and throws like that in combination. HE IS A FUCKING ANIMAL. There is a reason Mousasi took him down instead of standing with him. (Mousasi that beat the everloving crap out of Musashi)
No doubt he’s a beast on the feet, but to top it off with a KO of Hunt of all in people in under 20 seconds. Holy shirt man. Hopefully his ground game and defensive wrestling comes along.
Why will it refocus him on MMA? The fact remains that he is a dog when it goes to the ground. How did this fight (Where he KO’d a K-1 guy) have anything to do with him getting back into MMA? if anything it allows him to continue getting K-1 fights because of his strong stand up.
Um
Hunt is a Mixed Martial Artist too… And it would refocus him on MMA because now he KNOWS he can put down anybody in the world with 4 oz gloves on.
Hunt is a Mixed Martial Artist the same way Manhoef is a Mixed Martial Artist, which is to say, a dreadfully one dimensional one.
I’m sure Zimmerman can take out just about anybody in the world with 4 oz gloves, but he lost to MINOWA in a MINUTE. KO power just doesn’t matter for shit when you get subbed within ten seconds on the ground. And Manhoef’s ground game just isn’t good.

Mousasi did stand with him. He just ended up getting his legs around Melvin from the feet and then when Melvin tried to shake him off they ended up on the ground where he triangled him. Mousasi would beat Melvin standing ro on ground. He’s 10 x more skilled.
LMAO
Dude you need to rewatch that fight. He didn’t stand with him at all. He clinched and worked the takedown immediately. He wanted NO part of Melvin standing up. Melvin was pissed because he said he and Mousasi said they were gonna throw down on the feet then Mousasi immediately clinched and went for the TD. THE SMART THING TO DO

I haven’t watched the event yet, but WOW bizarro world. Overeem, Mousasi, and Kawajiri winning K-1 fights? Manhoef KOing a man with a HUGE chin and 100 pounds on him?

Overeem!!!
Damn, just when i thought my man-crush was under control, lol!
Seriously, AO vs Fedor in Affliction please! Not saying AO would win, but I think this is the best fight out there at HW. Unfortunately, not even a remotely big draw amongst the masses.
Eliot Marshall: Bader won. Like I said in the episode, I'm not going to make any excuses. It's my job to be able to deal with when somebody's doing that. It's not his job to change up his tactics.

I'm a fan of Overeem too.
Even back in his LHW days. He wasn’t always a good performer but I knew on the basis of his striking that he had the potential to be very good. I’m just a mark for Dutch-style strikers I guess…
Manhoef vs. Hunt: $200 dollar bet with friend
Manhoef KOing Hunt at 100 pound weight difference: Priceless
Calling my friend at 8 AM to hear him say “GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE! MANHOEF WON?”: Even more priceless

Dave Meltzer posted up a pretty preposterous review of Dynamite
Titled “New Year’s Eye not MMA’s Shining Night” On Yahoo Sports, aka the online PPV provider of UFC events. He decided that the real focus of the event was Bob Sapp and his admittedly lame matchup, then takes a crack and K-1 for booking one-sided K-1 vs. MMA fights in one breath, while giving the MMA guys who pulled the upsets no credit in the next, dismissing the wins because Hari was “banged-up”, and Musashi is “long past his prime”.
I thought the event was totally awesome, and the real story of the night is the direction of K-1 and DREAM becoming even more intertwined than could have been expected. I can understand if some people were turned off by a couple inconsequential fights and the single true “freak show” fight in Sapp vs. Kid MUSCLE, but Meltzer’s review is simply brutal.
yo smoogy did you see my gif request?
Unlike UFC, DREAM doesn’t send cease and desist letters for the judo chop! Help a brother out.
