Well since this a open thread!Here something funny…!

Coleman calls out Machida??

After training with Ernest "The Cat" Miller, a well known stand up fighter, Mark "The Hammer" Coleman believes he has the best chance of defeating Lyoto Machida. After watching last nights fight between "Sugar" Rashad Evans and Machida at UFC 98, Coleman noticed many flaws in Machida’s game.

"I’ve been training hard with "the Cat" and I feel confident that I know what his weaknesses are, and how I can exploit them should we meet in the cage."

" In my past fights I relied on my wrestling too much and it showed. Now I know that the key is good cardio and a sound stand up game, which I have now. I don’t think Machida has faced a wrestler of my caliber before and I think stylistically I match up with him perfectly "

Coleman who is coming off a loss to former rival Mauricio "Shogun" Rua was disappointed in his last outing, as he explains:

"You know my cardio wasn’t up to scratch for that fight and I believe it was an early stoppage but whatever, I’m not one to make excuses. Ever since that fight me and Miller have been in the gym working hard on it and I can keep going for 25 minutes if necessary.

Rashad is going to lose 2 fights in a row, because I have a feeling that he will be matched up with Shogun next!

I still havent watched any of the fights at UFC 98 except for the Machida fight. I have been trying t watch fight videos on my normal sites. but when I click on the fight video link, it tells me that the vidoe has been removed because of infringement or something like that!

Can anyone post links for the following fights:
Serra/Hughes
Edgar/sherk
Yoshida/Wolf
McFedries/professor X
Nover/Bradley
and the Pat Berry fight!

THanks guys, I would really appreciate the help!

Hey I thought ‘real MMA fans’ pay for the fights to support their sport? You downloading the fights and complaining about anything the UFC or Dana does just makes no sense. John.

I seen this chick on Howard Stern

by AJ on May 25, 2009 12:48 PM EDT reply actions

I hate Mike Goldberg too he repeats everything Joe Rogan says. He’s basically a parot. Plus he always uses the word ironic wrong. If Joe was amazing I’d watch the show muted.
