Su Hwan Lee def. Munguntsooj Nandin-Erdene via R1 KO

Nasty headkick…

I wish Aleks could have a higher profile – he’s an awesome striker, but he’s been relegated to small shows, even before the Hep scare.

That gif of Aleks/Magomedov is essentially the whole fight.

I appreciate the recs, I don’t mind taking a little time to make some GIFs knowing people will enjoy them and get a chance to check out some fights they otherwise wouldn’t. Now that there is such an abundance of MMA happening, much of it televised in one form or another, expect a few more of these.

P.S. Check out these XMMA 7 GIFs if you haven’t already… some rad finishes there.

So you call MMANews your home?

by Simco on Mar 30, 2009 3:30 AM EDT reply actions

Yeah, I admin the forums and occasionally (not often) write some stuff for the front page. There are a lot of Canadians on the board.

It had a good board a couple years ago.
I liked when Noob was actively helping the grappling section.
He may still be for all I know. It just got too Sherdoggish for me. : /
I still update the gi review thread when I get a new one.

I have never posted much in the subforums, but the main one is still going strong. I would contest the “sherdoggish” comment, our forum tends to have a nice mix of long-time fight fans and respectful newcomers.
