How's Taste My Tweet Tweet? Mixed Martial Arts on Twitter for the 4th Week of October

2itlilk_medium
A few updates on what's been going on in the MMA Twittersphere.

Promoted from the Fan Posts by Kid Nate.

1-OH-4 SPELLS CONTROVERSY!

"Dad, Mom and Unkle: They were able to make it down from Sac. Time to rock! http://bit.ly/cw3WV"  -Joe Stevenson, will get some moral support from his family come fight time.

"I sat front row an saw it in person, tv doesn't do it justice. Machida nvr rly got hit clean an machida rocked shogun several times... So what ur sayin is shogun shld win cuz he was walkin forward into kicks an punches? U see fighting u don't know fighting pple! Geez! ...Watch the dam fight again. Machida won 3rnds an shogun won the last 2. Shogun did get rocked an mayb u cldnt see it as well on tv."  -Josh Thompson, on his thoughts on the controversial decision.

"I had UFC 104 rounds 1-2 for Machida and 3-5 for Shogun. I disagree with the decision but it was a very close fight."  -Michael David Smith

"Judges must have given Machida the first three. Will be interested to see the final scoring. Had it 48-47 Shogun. Not a robbery, but he won... One thing I hope we can dial down is they hyperbole. Everywhere. UFC commentary. Fan, media reaction. Let's just take a step back. Breathe."  -Josh Gross

"Re-watching fight w/o sound. R1 was tight as can be. Can score it either way. Have no problem with Machida or Shogun winning that round... Competitive R2. I had Machida doing enough to earn it 10-9... Combo by Machida at the end of R3 is the difference. 10-9. I can see how judges -- w/o hearing commentary -- gave 1-3 to Machida... This was not a robbery folks. R4 was close and much slower than I originally thought. Shogun slight edge w/a couple solid kicks. 10-9 Rua... Fifth was the best, most decisive round of the fight. It goes to Shogun (10-9) because of aggression and landed strikes... No real issue here with the judges' scoring. Live I had R1 for Shogun. Replayed it was effectively 10-10. Rematch please... Yet another example of how much influence commentary holds over the way you see a fight. Watch it again people. And mute Rogan and Goldberg."  -Josh Gross

"This is why... You NEVER leave it to the judges! When you finish your opponent, you don't need to worry about judges! "  -Joe Lauzon

"I'm sorry but shogun won that fight easy"  -Efrain Escudero

"great night of fights. further proof you have to finish as the judges just can't score MMA."  -Shane Carwin

 

 

"I actually LOL'ed at this RT @alcky: @joerogandotnet WELOME TO THE MAcHIDA ERROR!!!"  -Joe Rogan

 

 

"I hear you all. They have both agreed to a rematch."  -Dana White

"Once again reminded to never leave it in the hands of the judges...great week ready to go home...first stop the rink, second stop my couch.."  -Mike Goldberg

"Shogun got robbed last night IMO."  -Denis Kang 

"Waking up in LA a little sore, got the win, coming back to AZ tomorrow. Thanks to my trainers, teammates and fans!"  -Ryan Bader

"Watched it again this morning and still just saying wow. I guess the next guy might just need to bring a sword ~ Jon "bones""  -Jon Jones

"Shogun is back. Very impressed, Muay Thai 1, Karate 0."  -Miguel Torres, now has a twitter account folks.

"I dont know karate, but I know Karazy!!!!!"  -King Mo

"I guess they don't take to many leg kicks in karate practice! 4-0 shogun (the bat)... 50-45 marico BATMAN rua for sure good job to him... Karate I guess isn't all it's cracked up to be... Congrats rua... No effing way that was BS!!!!!!!!!!!!! ..Hands down worst decision in Mma or even fight history! -Jamie Varner, so is it cool to hate on Karate now?

"Shogun won that fight"  -Frank Shamrock, that's it, the family man, good businessman and teacher has spoken therefore I am neutral.

"To me that was a bad decision. Rua was more active and the aggressor. I thought Machida had this one in the bag (guess he did)."  -Benson Henderson, also on the list of WEC guys not liking the decision.

"I like Cecil as a person, but his judging blunders are legendary... We need much better judging in MMA. It's going to be an awesome rematch, though!"  -Joe Rogan, NICE Leg Kick!

"The 10 point must system sucks. The PRIDE scoring system in Japan was far superior."  -Joe Rogan, Shogun would've won on those rules for sure.

"For the record, I'm a HUGE Machida fan, but I thought Shogun won that fight. Majority of fans online agree with me, but for a few rude f*cks"  -Joe Rogan, I thought majority of fans are douchebags with crappy shirts?

Star-divide

DREAM

"I love Overeem almost Vince Cartering himself on the top of the cage with the flying knee."  -Jordan Breen

"Whoa what a KO. Flew out of his corner with a jumping knee. Missed. Seconds later a perfect shin to the jawline. Marius: collecting scalps."  -Josh Gross, is Marius the new Mirko?

"Sakuraba was getting throttled. Nice knee bar tho."  -Jason High

"Just cried. Saku is my favorite fighter of all time. One of the main reasons I'm in Japan. That was too much, holy shit."  -Dan Herbertson

"Tank Abbott tried to throw someone out one time... RT @IRodC: @JoeLauzon Have you seen anyone fly out of the cage like Overeem almost did?"  -Joe Lauzon, I almost forgot about that.

 

TWEETS YOU MAY HAVE NOT EXPECTED

"Tekken 6 looks awesome !"  -Denis Kang, playing video games.

"Hello Twitter World!! I'm finally here. I'm not sure about "tweeting" but I'll give it a try."  -Brian Bowles, the champ is also on twitter.

"It's official: WEC signs lightweight Chris Horodecki."   -WEC, okay, that you expected.

"Hopin Dec but its lookin like Jan."  -Josh Thompson, returning from injury.

"I want to be one of the zombies from thriller for Haloween. But then I'll have to learn the dance. Who am I fooling, of course I know it."  -Amir Sadollah, dancing the thriller.

"If I were a pop star I'd be either Glenn Stefani, Jason Timberlake, or Manny Gaga."  -Mayhem Miller, for Halloween?

"So glad I learned looks don't mean crap! Its about substance people!! Seriously!!"  -Arianny Celeste

 

JORGE & MARCUS SITTING ON A TREE

"Great night of sparring. Did 10 rounds of MauyThai with takedowns. Now Jorge and I are at Kowloon eating sushi"  -Marcus Davis

"Marcus Davis just sold me out and twittered that we are out for sushi after a hard sparring session. Two minutes later I get a text from my Nutritionist, P.R Cole telling me not to eat too much salmon... Too late, lol! That's all I ordered. And I'm still around 180lbs... Haha. -Jorge Gurgel

"Jorge is whining that I twitterd we we're eating sushi. He got a message from his nutritionist not to eat salmon. His 2 plates R all salmon"  -Marcus Davis

"The waiter just referred to me as 'qwhy low' (sp) to the other waiter. Movie I saw said said that means white boy... fckn racist. I'm tell"  -Marcus Davis

"Marcus just got totally racial profiled by this Japanese dude here at the sushi place. He said the "qwhailo" was ready to order hahaha! ...If you have seen Balls of Fury, that means white boy..They are racist here, man.Gotta quit hanging out with Marcus. Too white for my taste:)"  -Jorge Gurgel

"Jorge is my Muddy Buddy"  -Marcus Davis

"Marcus calls me his "muddy buddy" quite racist, but I know he does it out old love and JEALOUSY of my looks...so many people pay tons of Money to get this dark. The Irish hand Grenade is a Haaaater...:)"  -Jorge Gurgel

"Jorge keeps saying he's bigger then me. We're going to take a picture and put it up here... he is absolutely delusional... Jorge just realized that in pictures it looks like he's a light weight and I'm a heavy weight... Jorge laughed ass off to the statement that he was so delusional he could be a ufc judge"  -Marcus Davis

Em7u_medium

"Jorge just ordered - Extenze"  -Marcus Davis

"Here we go to sushi again... I will tell on myself before Marcus sells me out.;) ...Done with another two plates of salmon again... I deserve it.;) Marcus Davis is going to have to fight middleweight... He's about 200lbs now. Of pure FAT, I must add."  -Jorge Gurgel

"Answer to my walk around weight is 200-205. Right now 195... Jorge walk around is 185... When u see this pic Jorge is still saying he's bigger then me"  -Marcus Davis, well he did order Extenze.

If the restaurant they went to is named Kowloon then it’s most likely Cantonese that they’re speaking as Kowloon is an area of Hong Kong.

no, it’s this place outside of boston. total cheese (ridiculous decorations, all different regions of food, and a comedy club upstairs!) but the food is great, and the drinks are strong as hell.

I meant that the wait staff was speaking cantonese, not that the restaurant was actually in Kowloon.

and i have my 8 million wayne’s world viewings to thank for knowing that kowloon is cantonese.

Hells yeah Wayne’s World party on. Also the restaurant does look absolutely ridiculous.

No one watched Balls of Fury? Really?

they just spelled the name wrong.. and yes he’s right, it’s not Japanese… it’s Gui Lao in Cantonese.. In japanese it’s Gaijin..

by Anton Tabuena on Oct 29, 2009 3:14 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Gaijin just means foreigner.

A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.

by iiowyn on Oct 29, 2009 11:18 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

And Gui Lau just means outsider,

But from what I understand, some of them use that as a derogatory term for Foreigners.

“Just cried. Saku is my favorite fighter of all time. One of the main reasons I’m in Japan. That was too much, holy shit.” -Dan Henbertson

Just to be a dork…while I wasn’t there live I did tear up when Nog beat Cro Cop. Nogueira WAS MMA for me at that point, I loved the sport for quite a while before that but he was just the perfect fighter in my eyes. So watching him get beat around the ring for the longest first round of my life and then pull of the win had me all emotional and screaming at the TV while I got a little extra moisture in the ol’ eye holes. So I totally feel Dan on this one

Not to be a dick nor am Id efending the decision

But if Shane sat at the judge’s table, he probably wouldn’t do a better job. And that probably goes for most fighters and fans.

Took me a few seconds of wondering why Hendo would be crying at Saku winning…then I realized it was a photographer. Makes sense.

Is it me or does Davis look HUGE right now? Someone should poison Jorges food with anti standup meds.
