UFC 101: Josh Neer is 'sick of fighting guys who want to hit and run'

lol, thats what I was thinking, but didn’t know if collin was right, I don’t want to discredit anyone!

If Mac would have had that strategy and made it technical he would have Tko’d Neer and i would have loved it!.. this guy trying to be gangsta is soo annoying, no teeths, and nothing in his head all he wants is to be demolished!

fuk off! danzig is done in the ufc and neer is a good fighter. i bet noone expected him to pull off the sub, i no i didnt. this is what makes a good fighter. he’s younger he’s improving and i think he’s going to brutalize batman and finish it in the second. wether by tko or sub.

GUARANTEED THIS FIGHT IS A WAR!

isnt neer the same guy that was getting the shit kicked out of him on the feet by guillard so he took him down and triangled him.

the fight was in danger of being stoped because of his cut, and he got taken down and sunk the triangle in……and whoever just said danzig shoulda won by ko needs to go watch that fight again because neer looked great

i think neer should go back to welterweight and gfight chris lytle lol

Neer needs to realize that this is the Ultimate FIGHTING Champoinship, not the Ultimete Brawling Championship. These days, if you don’t stand directly in front of your opponent and swing wildly away trading bombs, you’re a pussy.

What a joke. I like the fact that some talented stand-up is starting to emerge in MMA, where guys utilize angles and footwork and weave in and out of the pocket to land strikes without getting hit themselves. I find a good tactical kickboxing match more entertaining than two talentless hacks swinging away at each other like they’re in the parking lot of a shitty nightclub.

The only fighters that have a problem with true technical stand-up being utilized in the Octagon are the scrubs that have no technical striking pedigree and can’t possibly beat a guy who actually has some skill and knows how use it in an intelligent fashion. Obviously nobody wants to watch somebody run away all night, but there are very few fighters who actually do that. Brawling with an unskilled fightter is just giving them a great chance of beating you. It’s stupid, and so is Neer for suggesting that using skill is somehow unmanly and something to be frowned upon.

Neer would have been TKO’d, just look how horrible Neer looked in the standup! If Mac had his head on his shoulders when he fought he would have kept his distance and picked him apart, not getting into a slugging contest…

i agree wit you Jeremy, UFC is not a stand up sport like boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, etc. It’s pretty idiotic of Neer making statements like that and he’s not even a phenomenal stand up fighter, more of a brawler obviously. i don’t get why guys oppose againts jujitsu, wrestling, and ground n pound, i mean look at Cain Velasquez who’s a hit and runner threw pretty impressive ground n pound performance while Kongo heavily relies on stand up that shows ground n pound is effective. it’s funny when guys says guys who don’t wanna stand and bang don’t have balls but those who don’t wanna go to the ground really don’t have balls to suffer from poundings and submission attempts. f*ck Neer, i hope he gets some ground n pound til lights out.

i like neer hes a tought fighter with bjj skills he just rather have a brawl…hes fought so many guys and alot of them were at welterweight…hes a tough fight for almost everyone in the lightweight division

Ya it that fight was in danger of being stopped because of the cut and also because neer was in danger of getting ko’d. Watch that fight again he had no answer for guillard on the feet. If he wants a stand up fight rematch him with guillard, I will bet 100 that neer goes for a takedown in that fight JG.

Neer’s an idiot, not only did he get caught drink driving, now he thinks that the only way to be exciting is having a mindless brawl. There is no techinque involved in standing and banging, all of the guys who fight in that style are going to have short, unsuccessful careers, give me smart fighters like Lyoto and Anderson over mindless thugs anyday.

Exactly what we need – another “let’s stand and bang” idiot. Too bad coz he’s one of the few fighters who’s very well rounded and equal in all his skills even though they’re not by any means at a high level.

soo true!!!! " hu hu hii ma ma my nnaa name iis jooosssh neer, eh errrr emmm " haha but he is deff tough! Just sounds like a retard in the process.

Source?

Wow, that’s the first time I’ve ever gotten a boner from a dude.

my source is that I said so…..that should be enough for you BNF!

fuck yeah! don’t question john this dude always comes out with news first and im fuckin excited to hear this. im getting goosebumps and i cant wait until friday to hear dana white annouce this.

Hey man, I never doubted you before, but this is a special circumstance.

dont lie PW

HAHAHAHAHAHA

LMAO

Well Brock, Fedor and John I guess counts as three dudes, but that’s as high as I’m going!

AWESOME!! no bullshit John?

There’s no Effing way Lesnar fights Brock on two months rest.

^^^fights ‘Feds’ on two months rest. Yeesh.

I don’t think pounding on Mir for 7 minutes really took that much out of him. And it’s not as if he could watch film on Fedor for an extra month and suddenly pinpoint a weakness. If Dana gets this deal done Bock will take the fight.

Part of the deal may be contingent on him getting a fight ASAP, considering he just had a fight for this weekend cancelled.

Heard this a few times, normally I take these announcements as fact but considering that it’s Fedor I’ll believe it when I see it. Fedor-Brock would be the biggest MMA fight in the sports history so I’d be amazed if they put it on 103, considering it’s pretty short notice and is up against Mayweather-Marquez. I hope this news is true but I’m not getting my hopes up until Fedor and Brock appear at a UFC press conference.
