Yeah, that HAD to take a toll on him mentally

for sure. especially if they were close. i had my grandma die 2 days before i got married, so in some ways i can see why he didn’t perform up to his usual standards. that sort of thing really takes you out of your element. besides in 2 days it isn’t like he had time to grieve, get over it and get back to normal life.

its easy to be a dominant champion when youre fighting tomato cans and C level fighters, no wonder he wants to stay with WEC

Hey Kevin, I got some other stuff you might be interested . . . discount Rolexes, 100% guaranteed male enhancement pills, and of course some investment opportunities with some friends of mine from Nigeria.

you haters on here get ridiculous. you do realiza that some of us make good livings and have nice things right! John has sent me info, it all checks out! this isn’t myspace, and we’re not little kids. When we all put our bio up the other day, I was pleasantly surprised that we’re all older guys with lives. Sorry you don’t own anything PW!

Relax Kevin. I was joking that I was going to forward some of my spam to your e-mail that you posted in a very public forum.

geeze Kev, who peed in your cereal this morning? you’ve been crotchety all day.

slept an hour last night

“if he could stop the takedown” He proved last night he couldn’t. He got tossed around like a rag doll!! Hughes, oh forget it, I listed them all already. All the cream of the crop, top of the food chain wrestlers would eat this guy up!

Unfortunatley until he makes the jump from one to the other we will never know how he’d look against kos, sanchez, fitch, lytle, alves, GSP, (possibly Penn?).

Believe it or not, Brock Larson is a very good wresttler and Condit finished him in the first round. Granted, he isn’t an elite fighter, but he has fought great wrestlers His fight wish Jake Shields was rather close.

He has also fought and beaten Frank Trigg and beat him in just over a minute as well, from the bottom with a sick submission.

So far, the best wrestlers that he has fought, he has submitted in about 1 minute!!!

that fight was awsome, either condit was exposed or miura is that good.

I F*ckin forgot to set my DVR and Fell asleep! WTF, I always end up falling asleep and missing WEC events because they are on Sunday night and I am usually all partied out from teh weekends! WTF!!!!!

LOL! Thats funny, cause thats what happens to me. But as soon as I hear the date I’ll set my DVR. My DVR goes up to two weeks in advance. Im telling you john its a must see fight, like roy said, either Condit got alittle exposed, or Muira is a dam good fighter.

john – They’ll probably play it again this week on Verses. They seem to re-air the event the following week, but I forget on which day. They did spin it twice last night: once live (obviously), then re-aired it after TapouT.

there you go

great point roy, he got exposed!!

i enjoyed that fight, i thought it was more of a fatigue knock down than that knee being that strong and if he could have made it out of that round who knows?

thanks roy

Got the inside scoop on a fight for UFC 88. I posted this before, during the weekend but in case u guys missed it, I here that Jason “the punisher” lambert, will take his man-boobs and cut down to middleweight to face Alessio Sakara, because the Marquardt/Kampman match up wont take place until UFC 89.

I thought the same thing, but didn’t coleman break his arm!! Thats why!

Shogun fell and his arm broke. Dont give old man Coleman that much credit. Shogun knows he missed his chance at chuck, chucks fighting Rashad then will fight Forrest and Machida/thiago are booked. He wont fight wande3rlei so there is no one left for him to fight anyway, especially since he has been sidelined for awhile and wants to come back in december. I have no problem with him fighting coleman in december. Shogun needs a tune up fight and there is bad blood between the two. The UFC owes coleman a fight and Shogun is one of the few guys that can make a coleman fight worth watching these days.

F**KIN WAR SHOGUN!!!! Cant wait till he gets his hands on chuck and Forrest!

What about Shogun v. Bonnar? They are both coming off bad injuries and should be ready to go around December.

I would rather see Bonnar than Coleman.

that would be a better fight

LOL, Lytle would not be the favorite in a fight vs Condit.

Yeah, I hate on certain fighters, but I still admit that they are goood. For example, I love to hate on GSP, but I ain’t saying that Carlos can beat him, cuz at this point in time, he can’t.

Kev, Condit is a Top 10 WW in every single person’s book but your’s! My dislike of Kos has him out of my Top 5 (In my honest opinion, he shouldn’t be in anyone’s Top 5), but I still have him Top 10 because I am realistic. Why so much hate for Condit? The fighter he faught was a MW that JUST moved down to WW 1 fight previous to. And he one via KO in like 30 seconds. Just cuz you may not have heard of Miura does not mean that he isn’t a very solid fighter. Did you see his fight against Mayhem Miller?? He fought off the craziest submissions that were being thrown at him by Mayem. Even ones that are RARELY seen attempted in MMA, such as the Twister and the, the, the, JOHN, help me out – I just smoked and I’m not concentraging, I’m watching last nights episode of “I Love Money” LOLOL

no work today mike…I like comdit, as you said, just being realistic! He is a great wec champion…did you see the way he got tossed around! Lyltle’s stand up is better, and all the ww wrestlers would take him down at will! He thinks miura wore him down, picture a world class wrestler. Don’t give me a mw moving to ww, the UFC ww’s could all be mw for the most part. they cut for the competitive edge!

i not saying he didn’t get exposed somewhat but it was not wrestling moves that got him down alomst every take down was a judo throw and i don’t know how many wrestlers have those like miura did

I get that roy, I think Karo is a dhitty fighter, he’d finish condit though…using judo! Wrestling takedowns are more explosive!

i agree and i think at best he might just barely make the top ten in the ufc, at numbner 10.i think he is a tough fighter but alor of people in the ufc would beat him.

ROY. good point. those werent just your average run of the mill takedowns, those were highly skilled judo throws. as far as condit being overated or miura being better than advertised, i think it is a little bit of both.

i would agree

ViolentMikme: The submission u r thiokiong of is “SPLITS’”! Miura was a bad ass middleweight and he makes for a MONSTER welterweight. Condit is the real deal. I have to put him in my top 10 and I also think he would KO or Submit Koschek, ground or standing Kos would GET CAUGHT!

I think Condit would beat Lytle, who you guys probably know I am a big fan of. I would really like to see Condit vs. Hazelett…that would be a really good fight.

There are a lot of fights out there that wopuld be awesome and winnable for Condit like:
Marcus Davis
Chris Lytle
Dustin Hazlett
Burkman is always good for a beating for a fighter making there UFC debut
Mike Swick
Matt HUghes

I think Condit is a lot tougher than his body suggest. he may not beat my boy Alves but would make for a bad ass opponent! That be some crazy MUy Tai, flying around trhe Octagon between those two.

Kevin: I think you are underrating Condit

JOHN. i called for burkman to fight condit after the swick loss. he seems (is) like the one guy who cant beat anyone in the top 10, but also doesnt get owned either (except fich). i think burkman would be a a good measure for condit as to where he actually stands in the top 10. hazlett and swick would be excellent matchups as well. it would be awsomw to have a time machine and have miura’s next fight be against jake shields. that fight would be a good measure as well for both miura and shields. i think miura has a bright future at ww imo.
