Pulling for Cung on this one

Axle kick to the gut, Le the winner!
This guy is a great fighter, gonna be nice watching a worthy opponent take on dramaqueen Frank Shamrock.

For anyone who hasn’t sen Le fight it’s awesome. It’s like watching a martial arts movie scene, except it’s real and he’s beating the crap out of other real fighters. I shan’t be missing this.

I don’t know. Frank has been waxing his chest for weeks preparing for this fight. He’s going to be tough to beat.

Anybody know if this will be aired, and if so, what channel? Thanks for any help.

Shamrock by TKO rd 2

chefdaddy, it will be on showtime. Just regular showtime. Not PPV Showtime.

I really hope to see Cung Le kick Franks head off! Le is right, his unorthadox style should give Shamrock some problems. Le throws kicks that aren’t used in mma, and thats very hard for Frank to prepare for. Le can deliver a nasty kick, from all kinds of ackward angles with a lot of force.

If Le can keep the fight standing than he has a great chance of winning. It will all come down to if Cung can keep trhe fight standing, and if it does go to the ground, will Cung be able to defend the submission.

Should be a great fight, but knowing Shamrock, it could be a flop!

Anybody know if this will be aired, and if so, what channel? Thanks for any help.

It will be aired on Showtime on the 29th. Gonna watch it for sure!

An awesome fight would be Anderson Silva vs Cung Le. Two elite strikers, THAT would be fireworks.

 *CroCop to fight Sergei Kharitonov in June*
http://www.index.hr/sport/clanak/cro…se/378537.aspx

The article is in Croatian and I will summerize it. Article states that CC was supposed to fight Sergei at Dream 1 but CC declined the fight stating that would be too tough of a match for him after a six month break. Now they moved the fight to Dream 4 which will take place in mid-june and it will apparantly be made official in about a month possibly on April 29th which is Dream 2. That is when Dream is supposed to announce the fight. In one of Mirko’s quotes he said " I am not approaching these fights in Dream as practice for UFC comeback instead I am treating every fight seriously."

I think CC vs. Sergei would be a great fight. Sergei is without a doubt one of the top heavyweights in the world. I have always wanted to see this fight. Cro Cop is going to get his ass kicked by Sergei!

Who cares! Let’s talk UFC ONLY

Forget the minor leagues.

Go away! MMAmani! No longer UFC mania!

Mania, is this the 1st exclusive interview featuring a non UFC fighter?

I have to confess, I like Cung Le, the guy is a breath of fresh air.

I’m rooting for Le on this one too.

I can only imagine how a fight with GSP might transpire, which I think would be an even bigger war than Silva.

I gotta go frank on this one. Mainly due to experience. I think shamrock will catch him and if he doesnt catch him, he will get him to the ground and sub him.

Shamrock, r3, rear naked choke.

chung is great and i can not see frank doing well at all. he frustrates his challengers to no end with his styles and their inablity to get in his head at all. he is so damn calm and strong. he is going to beat the crap out of frank.

Why are you posting on a Strikeforce article if you only care about the UFC???

Its called MMAMania for a reason.

Yeah I don’t know if Cro Cop is going to pull off this one. I just watched Sergei beat down Pedro Rizzo, damn good fight.

Cung Le all day!

I like Shamrock….but this fight will make Le a name on the MMA scene, everyone thinks he is just hype….but he will outpoint Shamrock to a decision

All Shamrock will be able to do against Le is lay n pray….I don’t think Shamrock can sub Le, and I don’t think Le can KO Shamrock….

Thanks. But my d@mn cable package doesn’t get Showtime. AAAAHHH!!!!

Think yourself lucky.

In Britain we get UFC fights only, oh and we have just started showing WiRED. But WiRED is broadcast on Setanta which you have to subscribe to. All other programs on Setanta aint worth s#_t.

Have a look at our UK version of the UFC website and view the full schedule………sucks!!!!!

We also get Cage Rage and TKO MMA archives that are about 5 years behind the current schedule.

I watched GSP in his 5th professional MMA fight a couple of nights ago :(

When you guys mention new up and comers, I have to wait 5 years to watch them fight lol

Im pulling for you le…but dont worry TITO will be there soon enough to take out shamrock and run strikeforce….shamrock TITO will be there as soon as he beats this last UFC BUM that there trying to promote…..C…YA SOON!!

This is great news John..I hope it is true…It seems like DreamStage is rebuilding PrideFC, with their new promotion Dream-1, and I love it…
They are re-recruiting some of the PrideFC fighters already..and they even got the little “pimp” looking ring announcer too.

For people who dont know who Sergei Kharitonov is’..Look him up..

Sergei is one of the MANY fighters that need to be in the UFC..

Quiet you.

AnyTime! i am also very happy with the agressive event schedule that DREAM has booked for the next 6 months. I really hope that they can be successful so that the organization could grow to be a legit competitor to the UFC, just like Pride was. I am very excited about the middleweight tournament. It features a couple of legends as well as Akiyama Kang, dong sik yoon. I am also really excited about cro cop vs. Kharitonov. Its a great fight and a win/win situation. If cro cop can beat Sergei, than we can start taking him serious again. If he looses, then put a fork in him, and people will have to start taking more notice to what a great heavyweight Sergei really is!

Stagger Lee: Sergie is NO JOKE!!! He is still under the age of 30 and is a very tough guy with really good stand up and a Combat Sambo background. I would have loved for him to be in the UFC, but if DREAM is going to stock up on Heavyweights, like Pride did, we will see some great fights out of Sergaie in DREAM.

I also read today on other threads that DREAM will be looking to put together a Cro Cop vs. Fedor fight for the new years event, as long as cro cop and Fedor continue to win.

Last week I read that Fedor was negotiating a 1 fight deal with the UFC. Then reports surfaced that Randy doesnt want to fight Fedor in the UFC, so I wont be too surprised If Fedor does land with DREAM. I wont be mad either, if DREAM stocks up on heavyweights and they grow into the new PRIDE.

Randy seems to not want anything to ever do with the UFC again and even though he would prefer to fight Fedor in America, he wouldnt be opposed to a fight against the Russian in Japan.

Could we possibly see Fedor vs. Couture in DREAM? What if Randy eventually signs a 3 fight deal with DREAM? Dana white will be sooooooo pissed! Moves like that will help DREAM get on the map really quick.

Yeh Randy said that…then he was like “I don’t want to fight in a ring” so what cage outside of the UFC do you think tat could possibly happen in??? Can’t imagine Fedor or Randy in WEC or anything else for that matter! What say thee

ToeLock: I completely missed the statment where he said he wanted it to take place in the cage. Thanks for the heads up!

Or just download that shizam!!! Probably shouldn’t say on here, but if we have no way of getting it then i don’t see the problem…I download TUF episodes too because they are run like 1-2 weeks behind here and it’s impossible to avoid spoilers.

Damn straight. I try to keep my mouth shut very often when it comes to these things, but seeing you guys desperate to see the latest DREAM PPV when I’ve alreay had my hands on it in DVD quality about 7 hours after it’s finished broadcasting in Japan really eats at me.

Heck, we don’t get ANY MMA here in Norway and I donwload everything and anything I need off the net. My collection of UFC 1-82 didn’t cost much more than a few bucks for the empty CD’s and DVD’s and I sure ain’t got no guilt feelins about it.

only one problem with this, randy already supposedly signed a deal with HDNet.

I aint mad at ya!

Hehe, good to know John.
A litte uncertain about how these things are viewed upon here on mmamania, but really- if you guys need help with anything of this matter (for example when it comes to pre-broadcast fights), feel free to contact me :)

As for the OT- I do have to go with Frank here. Yes, he’s a total jack@ss, but I think he’ll definitely be able to take Cung down and either submit him or go for a decision win. Nothing pretty or effective, but I can see it happening.

What sites you use?

I’m confused ;s

:s

Damn……how do you do the face with the squiggly mouth?? lol

Don’t want to get myself (or mania) intro trouble, ya’ know?
If such talk is allowed here, I’ll be glad to share some info :)

So pumped for this fight. I’ve been saying since the beginning that Cung Le is on another level. Not to take anything from Shamrock, but Le’s striking — not just kicks — is so precise. I’m a little skeptical about his grappling but I’m sure he’s not so stupid to ignore that.

I know this is probably a dumb question, but seeing as how this fight involves Frank Shamrock, what happens to the title in the case of a DQ, does the winner still get the belt?

hahahahaha…. You guys need me here to enlighten you all with my knowledge.

Yeah, with all of your intelligent posts…

Raul, links to fights are always posted on this site. For example, here is Dan Henderson’s first ever pro MMA fight:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juJ-lFuvwTI

This is why this site is beneficial.

Great feeds (a la John, VM, Adam G, Phil, keystone, my bud toelock and all the rest, don’t know about that Mania though lol), info (for us with limited info) and general great debates.

Everyones, or mostly everyones, opinion is valued.

Or just download that shizam!!! Probably shouldn’t say on here, but if we have no way of getting it then i don’t see the problem…I download TUF episodes too because they are run like 1-2 weeks behind here and it’s impossible to avoid spoilers.

Still confused about this though :(

ViolentMike, thanks for the reminder, though I thought there might be a difference between torrent trackers and you tube\daily motion and their likes.

I like to use www.xtremewrestlingtorrents.net and http://tracker.fullcontactzone.com/browse.php for all my MMA needs, whether it’s a PPV about 5-8 hours after it’s happened live, BJJ instructionals, episodes of TUF etc.

I think I’ve got some invites left for both the trackers if anybody’s interested, but you’d have to promise to be serious and seed back what you leech, otherwise I get banned together with you… ;)

Going back to watching UFC81 now, got a huge craving for seeing the Sylvia-Nog fight. That sweep and guilliotine needs to be relieve again I think :)

Why are you posting on a Strikeforce article if you only care about the UFC???

Its called MMAMania for a reason.

hahaha… i like that…UFC ONLY!!!!!!
anywhos, fight prediction??

…..winner! SHAMROCK by submission round 2!

cung with a 3rd. round tko!!
