Does anyone besides me and Dana White think that fight last night was a bit sloppy?

I mean, I enjoyed the slugfest, and Mike Nicols took a lot shots to the face- I thought he was done a couple of times, but he never handed over his arm like "Ultimate Fighter" Danny, but it wasn't exactly a showcase of technique and style.

Not the greatest fight technically. And that mike guy sure gave the deaf guy his back alot of times on the ground, thought mike was supposed to be a black belt BJJ and gold medalist, didn't look like it.

That was a messy fight. If Matt hadn't been about 100x stronger than Mike, Mike would have killed him. The kid just couldn't keep his hands up and kept getting poked in the face for it. If he'd fought a real striker, he'd have been knocked the fuck out.

Mike looked like he just wanted to give up. He just fell down and spent at least half a round turtling.

All you could hear in the background (apart from Shamrock screaming "Knee! Knee! High kick just one time! Knee! Knee! Knee! Knee!") is people saying "He CAN'T submit him -- he's not nearly strong enough."

It's too bad...I sort of wanted Mike (the underdog) to win, but he just looked sloppy and totally amateurish.

Exactly... he could have won the fight too if he had listened to Shamrock and tried that high kick.

The semis should be interesting.

Both these guys had under five fights, so thats an excuse I guess. Their boxing was horrible.. Matt walking in Mark Hunt style with his jaw wide open..WTF??? this is the guy in practice who complained about every injury and then feared nothing come fight day!!! Very strange.

That was a good fucking fight.

And again I notice one thing with Tito's guys: by the end of 2 rounds they don't look nearly as gassed as Shamrock's guys.

"This is why we work hard!"

I liked that one.

And I knew that fucking shiteater would be happy to come back. I just liked Dana giving him the same speech as he gave the other two while he's going on the whole time "Yes. Yes. i want to fight. Yes. I know. Yes." and then finally "Tell me who you want me to fight and I'll fight him."

Then Dana, "I know someone who'll fight"

I thought it was cool that they brought Ross back even though I think Bisping will destroy him. I liked that too Sean- he was like "Yes, I'll fight." right away, even looked annoyed when they kept asking him.
I was surprised Tait didn't want to fight, but not Kristian. He didn't look like he wanted to be there from day 1.

Too right- and even Kaleb said he didn't feel good about his cardio because of the way they'd be training, but something Shamrock said pissed me off- right after the fight outside the ring, he's going "You gotta be in shape, only you can do that." or something to that effect.

WTF- he's the coach. He's supposed to be making sure they're in shape- or am I wrong?

Another thing I noticed was Tito's guys listen to him during the fight and in the corner and have respect for him.

Regardless, some more good fights coming before the 24th.

I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing. I was like "WTF ASSHOLE. You're their TRAINER! YOU set the pace."

I hope Tito slaps his stupid ass around AGAIN.

Well, if Shamrock's training himself, it's a lock.

"Maybe in the future you should not tell the guy your fighting he just broke your rib and then point to the one that's broken."

I wondered what the hell he was doing there myself.

No fucking doubt. I couldn't help but think that a guy who really wanted it might have kept fighting.

Of course, he'd have been fucked for the next fight but showing some heart might have got him a shot to come into the UFC anyway.

If his rib was really broken though he'd have had a hard time doing anything, and being in iffy cardio shape would have made it that much worse.
I was surprised when he threw it in though, all the same- but at least he didn't give up his arm like Danny- "I'm scared, submit me!"

Kalib talks Shamrock


" Thank you for your interest and criticism. The injury to my sternum occured in the first round from a roundhouse kick, however it wasn't until the knee in the second round that I felt it was appropriate to bring it to the attention of the referee, as I thought that the doctor should look at it before the fight continued, fearing permenant injury. The referee however ignored me completely as did my corner and the doctor in between rounds, the only people who seemed to care were Tito and Kendall. The injury I suffered was a costo-chondral seperation, as two of my ribs were torn off of the catilage of my sternum one more severley than the other, and it will never be the same as bone and cartilage do not grow back together so easily. Most people are unfamilliar with this type of injury, which takes longer to heal than broken ribs. For two weeks I could not sleep on my sides and it took approximately 10 weeks before I could do a single sit-up. It was extremely disappointing to see Ken Shamrock attack my character like he did, and to have him ignore me after the fight, one would think that he would give me the benefit of the doubt until some contradictory evidence presented itself. Forming opinions and making assertions with little or no evidence however is what made Ken into the great genius we see today and we should not expect this to change any time soon. I like Kendall and none of this should take away from his win, I still talk to him and wish him the best. "
" Ken does excellent circuit training on the weights, the best I've ever had. We did it once in seven weeks.

Dan was a very nice guy.

Roman was an excellent boxing coach.

We had no wrestling or jiu-jitsu training to speak of. Ed and I taught Soloman, Tait, Mike, Jesse etc. at the gym and in our spare time at home on the carpet. We were only allowed to train at designated times, which was absolute crap if you ask me. I came there in excellent shape and left in the worst shape I've been in in years, this is not an excuse for my loss by the way, I was beaten fairly, it's just a fact. In the seven weeks prior to my semifinal fight I had about two weeks worth of good training. Ken stopped me from training with Ed, my best sparring partner, because he thought we may end up fighting later on. Every day going to the the gym was a disappointment and I did not want to be there at all, which is not the way I am usually"

Well, not being fight experts, how perceptive are we?
not that it wasn't obvious.

So the bodybuilding nutritionist wasn't much of a help then?
