UFC Quick Quote: Bring your 'A' games, fighters, or else ... you're in Philly

Lackluster opponents? Cote had 2 outta 3 wins coming by dominating TKOs, and Thales had some really sick submissions and grappling coming his way, not to mention a tough chin.

As good as Anderson is, he should have finished Thales. Finishing a scared opponent is different than having an exciting fight. It wouldn’t have been so bad if it was a lackluster TKO than that 5 round snoozefest. And if the guy was scared, like Thales obviously was, then how do you NOT finish him?

I love anderson silva but u gotta have finishing instinct I know it was only his last 2 fights but u gotta have want to try and finish your opponent not just score a couple of points u know alot of people bash on BJ for what he says but he always tries to finish his opponents, I know hes last 2 opponents were scared but if they werent bringing it Anderson could have brought it to them instead of going for the easy win, I mean Im sure he could of easilly beat them

i hope a philly fan jacks anderson silva after the fight

Philly is the perfect location for the return of the deadly spider. As much as I hate to say it, I dont think Anderson wanted to hurt leites. He will have no problem displaying that killer instinct on Forrest’s goofy ass. especially since Forrest has no fight finishing capabilities…Anderson will be relaxed and ready to let the strikes fly!

I hope a philly fan does to so they can learn they aren’t all hard asses when Andesron whoops his ass. I hate quoetes like this. Maybe the phillies fans should just stick to getting drunk and into lazy bar brawls if they don’t want to see an educated MMA match. Don’t even know why philly deserves to have this card

That’s really something to hope for. I can’t see Griffen winning this. Silva is better at EVERYTING! And not just a little better, but much better!

Cote beat all b level fighters-Smith, Mcfredries, Kendall, and the one A-level guy was Almedia(he is not a true well rounded a level fighter just an a bjj game), just and that fight could have gone either way. Same with Leites he beat MArquardt(which I think should have gone Marqardt) then he beat a whole bunch of B level guys- Pete Sell,Floyd SWord(who the hell is that is he even b level), Ryan Jensen(another wrung in a b-level ladder), and MCfredries. None of those are opponents on in the top 10 185# category except, Marqaurdt. Thales stayed away from Silva, how do you engage when the other fighter won’t get near you to do it? Cote unfortunaly blew his knee and you could only expect that Silva’s game would have opened up at some point. It was only 2 crappy rounds in that fight.

As far as Philly fan goes, they are a scarry, almost juvenille crowd. The 2 times I went to Eagles games (not wearing my Redskins colors, I watched grown men push around a woman in front of her little child an pour bear on her after telling her to take of her Redskins Jersey “WHORE” then poor a beer on her while the rest of the crowd jeered and cheered. The second time They threw beer at an elderly couple with to little grandkids, for wearing a giants Jersey. Once again the area cheered and hooted and hollered as though they had acomplished some major moral victory. Overall, my experience with Philly fan was pretty disgusting there is no excuse for that-Elderly couples and woman and children. Any of the people I spoke to just said, well that is just the way it is, you should know better then disrespecting our stadium by wearing another jersey here…To tell you a little about philly fan, It is the first satdium in any sport stateside to actually have a jail, a judge, and court all on the premises, so they can get it all done in the stadium….Nice!

john, if u don’t wanna hurt your opponent u don’t throw side kicks to the knee over and over again. he came close to crippling thales..

They have a jail there? lmao they are bigger losers than I thought

Philly needs a jail in its venues. Those derelicts are second only to Oakland fans in terms of sociopathic behavior at games.

Not only a jail but like I posted a judge, that actually does your first hearing on the spot. That may actually trump Oakland! LOL! The sad part is every Philly fan I know is completely ok with being total assholes to women, children, the elderly and handicapped in the name of Football. They would roll a mentally handicapped, quadriplegic retard down the upper level stairs if he was wearing an opposing team jersey. In Florida we have a radio show hosts Ian Beckles, he played for the Eagles in the 90’s, and he is always telling nightmare stories about what Philly fan does or used to do to people wearing opposing team jerseys. It is horrid and to be ok with it is even worse!

wow that is pretty sick monkey… sad to see we have that sh*t going on in our country…

I’ve been trying to egg on some Philly fans here but it seems they are avoiding this thread. Which honestly makes me happy that our Philly fans for MMA are good guys. I wanted one of them to come on here and challenge me for making fun of the outrageous fans but I think the maniacs from Philly are too respectful of the sport to do that. I have to respect that

Yea i’m from philly too and I have to admit I’m proud of the rep

I demand to see his post IMMEDIATELY

but I’ve never been to Philly so who knows

I’m from Vancouver. I was smack dab in the middle of the ’94 riots. It was hardcore. Folks up here in Canada tend to take their hockey kinda seriously. And yeah, if you guys think the Flyers/Devils rivalry is intense, you should go to a Vancouver/Calgary game. Montreal/Toronto games are awesome too, but only if you see it in Montreal. The atmosphere in the Air Cananda Centre sucks almost as much ass as their hockey team.

jeez man…askin’ for it apparently

like africa?

My mom says there’s a lot of black people in Africa.

Actually from my experiences it’s not the black people, it’s usually the wannabe south Philly wiggers who start shit.

Somebody is Afro-Phobic!!

No I know Jeremy. What i meant was that i want to see the fighters do what they’re best at, some guys come in just trying to stay alive and hold the other guy down so they don’t have to fight. And it ain’t just about the fight itself it’s about your business, I wouldn’t enjoy Tito’s fights as much as i do if he wasn’t the character that he is.

you could fight smart and still be entertaining, It doesn’t have to a certain type of fight.

Randymurders MAchida took alot of crap when he first entered the Octagon. It wasn’t till Sokoduju that he got his first finish in the cage and he even took a lot of crap when he fought Ortiz. All over these boards he was getting crapped on. It really wasn’t till the Thiago win that people really took notice to how special of a fighter he was.

you can’t be a boring fighter AND have a dry personality…he’s still dry but fights in exciting fashion
