1) VGA cable from laptop to TV
2) Extended desktop (effectively giving you two displays, one for the TV and one for the computer)
3) Drag stream over to the TV screen, full screen it
4) Open live commentary on laptop screen
5) Snark away

Least that’s what I’d do if I didn’t have a fucking exam right in the middle of it. Any way we can watch the fights after the live stream is over?

Such bad technique on the knee-bar, still fun to watch though. Should be on the other side, under the head, feet together and back arched. Maybe he’d have been better off if he’d gone for an ankle lock simultaneously to soften him up.

Why do they get stood up so fast? Is this a Russian thing? We’ve already seen 4-5 standups, and we are not even through two fights.

by Dev93L on Apr 28, 2011 12:49 PM EDT reply actions  

Especially since the greatest Russian fighter ever is also perhaps the greatest G’n’P’er ever.

It makes little sense, but this is how Russian MMA looks. A Brazilian BJJ whiz with zero striking would probably clean up here. I’m seeing so many openings, loopholes and missed opportunities that I’m wondering if I could go over there and try my hand at it.

I have never seen two things that have happened in this round:

1) Guy in triangle manages to stand up, but while the other guy keeps the triangle, he hangs down all the way and the other guy just presses him into the ropes. Very nice visual, but still silly.

2) Ref stops the fight mid-triangle to clean up blood.

Can M-1 be #2

They have Eastern Europe on lock, have for now a NA tv deal, could they fill the void after the strikeforce contracts up and continue on showtime on their own and become the #2 promotion?

by milliondollardreams on Apr 28, 2011 1:24 PM EDT reply actions  

They could be the KHL of MMA

KHL takes some decent hockey players from the NHL (nothing great, usually) and keeps a lot of the young Russian talent and Euro talent who are just not quite good enough to make it.

If they could be that type of organization, it would be great to have around.

by Jonathan. on Apr 28, 2011 1:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

I agree, they could fill that void, because realistically strikeforce main fighters will all go to ufc the scraps could round out M-1 or Bellator, But me personally M-1 > Bellator

Pros of this M-1 show: Great tv production, good match-making, willing if not supremely skilled competitors, exciting fights, progress displayed in getting wrestlers into M-1, referees who do fighter safety checks pre-fight and display awareness of back of head strikes. And hilarious commentators who speak the truth.

Cons: Early on, some very bush league refereeing in terms of stopping fights to clean up a nosebleed and while a fighter was threatening to work a sub. No elbows on ground.

Things that would be great if changed, but probably won’t: the ring.

I think the ring is great, now wrestlers can’t rely on just smashing people into the fence and guys on their back can move their hips freely anywhere in the ring

The cage was just a gimmick that stuck around and is now accepted

Always worried about fighters falling out of the ring – and we saw Temirkhanov cheat by going outside the ropes to escape being finished by Suarez.

We’ve also seen two or three bumps of the camera by the fighters.

by Ben Thapa on Apr 28, 2011 2:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

I've always wondered why they didn't just put more ropes in the ring

and use a couple more of the ties that hold all of the ropes in place. It makes it more sturdy while also keeping the square shape that benefits strikers and prevents endless circling. The thing about preventing getting finished could be prevented if the bottom rope was lowered.

To me a ring is more professional where a cage feels like u r suppose to look at the fighters like 2 caged animals out for blood, it was just to give the early ufcs that extreme aura and feeling, they should have also done the moat with alligators like suggested by the original seg promoter when they planned ufc 1, they were just trying to use something edgy to draw fans

The DREAM white cage is the best MMA environment possible. It was clean, it was visually beautiful and constructed just right.

Enomoto’s Ruff Ryders with dancers and samurai masks was awesome.

Zavurov’s weapons demonstration dancers with song was cool too. Must be a Russian thing I don’t get, so I’m appreciating the theatricality of it.

Good entrances though. Better than Yakovlev’s borrowing of the ring girls for the live performance of that song.

This totally reminded me of that fight.

They really need to change the rules, Enomoto was more effective than Zavurov. All Zavurov did was get takedowns.

by av1o3 on Apr 28, 2011 3:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don't really agree with that.

Accomplished nothing off of his back, landed a handful of good shots over the entire fight. Maybe he won a round here or there but there is zero argument for Enomoto winning the fight overall.

Same can be said about Zavurov

When he got the fight to the ground he was completely shutdown. If it weren’t for the current rules that are set, I thought that Enomoto would win for the submission attempts and just shutting down Zavurov.

It might just be me but I hate that takedowns take fights but only when the fighter doesn’t do damage on the ground.

by av1o3 on Apr 28, 2011 3:50 PM EDT up reply actions  

Enomoto should just throw hands and avoid the takedown..

This is not a good referee. Had no idea what position Zavurov was in and where Enomoto’s hands were before the reset. It was apparent during the reset and at least they bailed on the reset instead of giving Zavurov a better position.

Except he was off to the side and instead of pulling it straight up he was pulling it to the side. He had pressure on the side of the neck and throat and was pullling the head to the side similar to the twister. Modified GOGO
