UFC Quick Quote: Phillipe Nover draws comparisons to Anderson Silva

You know, I did like Roop though. I hope he beats up Junie’s little punk friend from the show.

A guy like Nover needs to move to a gym that can nurture his talent. I hope he has made the move to one of the higher profile camp. He would awesome at Greg Jackson’s or even Team Nog.

Now the WINNER get a title shot right?? Imagine for a minute that “The Nurse” faces B.J…. Wow, I’d put $ on Nover because if he cought B.J. with 1 shot or got his back and choked him out I would be RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!

No the winner does not get a shot…. that was only on season 4 when the participants were already ufc vets….

OOOOOOOOOOO My bad.

Nover is a bad ass though…. would like to see him in there against some solid talent… I think he will move up the “ranks” really fast.

Wasn’t trying to be rude. Nover is a bad A$$ and I would like to see him against some solid talent. I believe he can and will move up the “ranks” pretty fast.

Another Filipino talent that could easily go to waste[assuming Vera’s potential is goin’ to be all downhill from here]. Let’s hope not…

CHael Sonnen still running his mouth about Anderson Silva:

“I’m not going to the UFC with a white flag. My flag is red, I’m declaring war. It’s always like that, all fighters when he grabs the microphone says the same thing, they challenge every fighter in the world, except Anderson Silva. A lot of folks don’t have what it takes, before even fighting they’re all ready yellow. I’m not going to do that, it would really disappointing to my fans. I’m the only fighter who wants to fight him, and the only one who has what it takes to beat him.

When I get to the UFC and they give me a microphone his is the name I’ll call out. I don’t think he’s as good as everyone says. He’s a really good fighter, sometimes fantastic, and he really deserves to be champion. But I can surely beat him, and who knows he might beat me too. Anything can happen. But the risk he runs is the same as I do. I’m trying to find out who the real champion is.

I noticed that every time they interviewed Anderson and asked him if he’d fight Paulo Filho, he’d always avoid the subject. And Paulo Filho would do the same. I heard a lot of people say Paulo Filho is a better fighter than Anderson Silva. So let’s think about it: if I can beat Paulo Filho, I can surely beat Anderson Silva too."

Is anyone but Chael wondering who the real champ is? Lol

I can’t think of too many MW’s in the UFC that would have a hard time with Chael…he couldn’t even finish Paulo who had an out of body experience during a fight

yeah, sonnen is on the same drugs that Fihlo is if he really believes this!

Hey I thought if BJ wins that he will keep both titles and move back and forth?

Maybe Diego realizes that his smaller build (in comparison with the other WW) will keep him stagnant.

Or he wants a challenge or its easier for him to make weight at 155.

Thanks for the mind reading display, NameNotRequired!

What did Diego have for breakfast this morning? Let us know!

I would not mind seeing Diego against

Tyson
Nate
Nover
Sherk
and definitely Ken-Flo !!!

Fireworks, baby!!!

Mania just carved out about 3 posts! LOL !

THanks Phil. much appreciated!

I agree 100%, his stand up was not even average, and his ground game is awful. Go get a day job son, I hear wal mart needs security guards!

were you not watching the same fight? he almost knocked him out a couple times. vini got lucky to get to the ground. he was about to go to sleep.

and I am pretty sure liddel made a good living with his stance.

I guess I must have been watching a different fight, and kristovs last one too. I called out his standup weeks ago, and if you think it looked good, you’re nuts!
chuck made a good living yes, it was a loose comparison, kristov isn’t even in the same league as chuck on chuck’s worst day and kritovs best. Chuck can wrestle, kristov is a guy with 15 pro fights and a failure against a bunch of guys with next to no experience.
go back and watch kristov’s few fights, you really think he’s got a strong stand up game?

Yup, his standup isn’t even average compared to anybody in the UFC. He keeps his hands down and out. If he fights anybody with a lick of training, he’s going to sleep.

HAHAHA, i like your lobster-dog

funny thing is, with that on, he won’t move, he hates it. he’ll literally stay in the same spot, even if you put a t-bone in front of him!

and as soon as you take it off, he shoots off like a rocket right?

yeah, he hates sweaters and all clothes. I think it’s gay too, but it’s getting cold!

about 400 a ticket. got 3, I took my grandmother to the game

Yeah but Dana said that the next Anderson Silva was on this show about a month ago,so Nog is not the only one comparing him to Silva

dana said he reminded of the next gsp. thats hard to live uo to also.

unless he meant mentally weak, anyone can do that!

I agree, jeff can enlighten us more I’m sure, but the contract specifically states no physical altercations. I would say I couldn’t train properly out of fear of assault and being blackballed from the UFC if I complained. This would hold water after seeing Dana basically tell the guys Junie was staying, and then putting it in question form. anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Kev. It would be funny if someone pressed charges against Junie. He could have probably gotten arrested for some of the crap he did. Then, tag that onto the lawsuit and you should do well for yourself. lol

Jeez seems I missed a lot. I gave up on TUF because I couldn’t bare watching the boneheaded antics any longer.
Nover is for real. I’ve seen a couple of his fights and as advertised he’s very good and has huge potential.

It kind of looks silly all those guys laughing at him for fainting at the beginning. It wasn’t funny, well I don’t think so anyway.

The contract might say that Zuffa wouldn’t be liable, but you would have a very difficult time convincing a judge or jury that you shouldn’t be liable for an assault that occurred where you not only controlled the living environment and chose who stayed or left, but also knew that the assailant (Junie) had already struck people and had violent tendencies.

It’s a slam dunk case, except for the provable damages, since the guy wasn’t really hurt and would have a hard time selling the “fear for his life” claim because he’s a pro fighter.

I missed the episode, so I can’t say I saw the assault. Kevin, are we sure that the contract states no physical contact outside of the cage and practice? Did the assault happen at the house or in the practice center?

If the contract has no reference to assaults, then we are dealing with an implied clause. Tough to make that hold up.

Cmon, change “fear for his life” to unable to perform his job, because of fear/mental anguish/intimidation. Thus, regardless of him being a pro fighter the understanding is he can’t perform the work he was retained to perform; and his non-performance is based on working conditions outside his control.

well I know one thing for sure, all reality shows have the “no touch” clause. It’s for a simple reason, to avoid fights. It’s why on some shows you see guys baiting other guys, hoping to get hit and have the other thrown off. After the first chance, I think anyone in the house has a good case, especially with the favoritism shown to Junie! They were afraid to come forward, afraid to have confrontation etc.

even if you had a legit case, zuffa and all their money could keep you in court for years you would go broke long before you saw any money if at all.

how exactly would you go broke? you just go get a job, and something tells me, zuffa would settle

Injured plaintiffs don’t “go broke” from a lawsuit because their attorneys foot the bill until they get paid by the defendant. It’s not like Randy Couture, who was a defendant being sued for breach of contract.

thank you cmon! If this were true, zuffa would be in the wrong any how, so there would be an immediate settlement. thats just my guess!

Cory Hill VS Roop. String bean battle

I heard and saw a lot from mir that I didn’t care for, but his killer instinct didn’t bother me. What’s he supposed to say, “I hope they throw in the towel?”

Don’t hold back baby! (not calling you a baby, just mean it in the conversational sense of “Yeah Baby!” or wait, maybe you are a baby. babies don’t belong in MMA world’s toughest nurse)

Believe me I am no baby….. and he does have ill intent towards opponents…. this isn’t the Kumite…this MMA. knock him out ,tap him out, grind out a decision. Don’t go for the break as soon as you get the lock. The measure of a good martial artist is control and being able to know pressure and how to increase “when” needed. I didn’t insult anyone and I would appreciate the same respect from you, Matt.

And Kevin this is me…..I used the pseudonym “the worlds toughest nurse” today because I thought it was hilarious when the Narrator for tuf used it in the conclusion of the episode yesterday pertaining to Nover.

yeah I was just having fun….
