UFC Quick Quote: Joe Stevenson struck oil in his UFC 104 fight against Spencer Fisher

by Jesse Holland on Oct 26, 2009 10:28 AM EDT

"Honestly, I though (the UFC) forced him to take the fight. Stylistically, I was like 'Really? Dude, are you serious? Alright, happy birthday!' I executed a lot of things right, but I felt like I couldn't get the takedown and I was making excuses, 'Man he feels slippery, he feels oiled up' and I felt like he was. But why even say anything like that, that's my fault for even taking it there. Yeah, he definitely put some lotion on this morning or last night took a bath. Something was different about him, maybe he had a lot of garlic though, that can make you slippery as well. Or it could just be in my head, that's why I [just] need to improve myself."

Joe Stevenson gives MMA Fanhouse the people's eyebrow when talking about the condition of opponent Spencer Fisher at UFC 104 last Saturday night from the Staples Center in Los Angeles. "Daddy" forced referee Herb Dean to stop the bout in the second round after "King" Fisher was busted open and taking too many undefended elbows. After the fight, the former TUF champ felt like Fisher added a little extra something to his training regimen that apparently had little impact on the outcome of the fight.

I will LMAO when I see Intro change his name and will use EVERY opportunity to tease him.
Good win for Joe…who’s next for him though? I’d like to see Joe Daddy/Maynard

Mac-

Yeah. I figured he would go back on his bet.

Good call for the next fight…

I won a lot of money on this fight…too bad I lost a lot more on shogun robbery! This was a realy easy fight to call. Why I didnt bet my entire account on this fight baffles me!

Joe/maynard would be a good fight. If maynard won he’d have to be next in line for a title fight
Right, who else is there! Stevenson/edgar would be good too.

Saw only rounds 3-5 of the machida fight. He definitely took 3 but dropped 4 and 5.
At leastt they’re doing a fast rematch. 109??

Just a thought if diego loses (which he will) then diego/huerta would be a good scrap!
Might be the only time I’d root for diego!

Oh and stick to your word intro! Lol

I thought Huerta was done for good?

by OJR on Oct 26, 2009 11:08 AM EDT up reply actions

says he’s back and rejueviated. Losing to Maynard was a big set back though

by McArthur on Oct 26, 2009 11:09 AM EDT up reply actions

Diego will handle Huerta.

BTW -

John G. is going apesh!t over “Shogun’s robbery”.

Awesome stuff in the Vera/Couture thread.

If Fisher’s alleged slipperiness didn’t affect the outcome, why bring it up? He almost certainly wasn’t doing anything illegal, but now he’s going to have doubts thrown at him for the rest of his career, and JoeDaddy still won convincingly.

My thoughts exactly. Joe completely dominated, why bother with even saying anything? Until commisions make it illegal to use lotion after a shower, STFU and press on.

by Cole on Oct 26, 2009 12:58 PM EDT up reply actions

I believe it was probably Joe’s own constant use of lotion in the tanning bed that made him feel that way.

joes getting a little too cocky for a guy who a year ago was made to look like a b*tch by florian. he’s beaten two good but not great fighters in diaz and fisher. doubtful he’ll be anything close a champion.

by bobby o'shea on Oct 26, 2009 10:37 AM EDT reply actions

Yes. This fight was so predictable, though. Fisher can’t handle wrestlers.

by OJR on Oct 26, 2009 10:50 AM EDT up reply actions

The irony of someone from Camp Jackson saying someone was oiled when Ive heard all kinds of shit about GSP being slippery not too mention Grease Gate..

Lets not forget when Florian said Huerta felt very slippery after training with Jackson for his fight with Kenflo , which is who contacted BJ Penn too warn him about greasing which led BJ’s camp too warn the commission BEFORE the fight about GSP greasing up.

FUnny stuff, not too mention Joe Daddy seems too know alot about greasing secrets.

Just more reason for me to dislike this guy. You win in pure domination like that, and instead of showing some respect, or even not saying anything, or even bragging about how well u did, u make an accusation based on whaaaaatever u felt was ur guess. Even tho Joe knows damned well ppl take any opportunity to jump on the whole grease questioning thing.

Let it alone man. See ya in ur next b level fight Joe. Always gonna be a opening fight of the ppv or maybe 2nd fight. You don’t deserve more. Hope they do throw u in with a wrestler next. Go Gray!

I prefer seeing this guy losing in a bloody mess (ala bj penn) rather than win and still talk shit for some reason.. “Yeah I won, but he was greasing..” Don’t really see the point.

by Steve on Oct 26, 2009 11:17 AM EDT reply actions

Hes a d-bag , whos like 2-3 in his last 5 fights .. With all 3 of his losses being 1 sided ass beatings.

by Dayzah on Oct 26, 2009 11:22 AM EDT up reply actions

I still hate Joe Daddy. I also want him to fight a good wrestler like some of you guys said above. Can’t wait till the next time he is bleeding all over the place like a stuck pig.

Fisher vs Melvin! ..loser leaves town.

by MMArt on Oct 26, 2009 12:27 PM EDT reply actions

Joe-Daddy vs. Sherk. The only other LW available right now.

by mburtoni on Oct 26, 2009 1:12 PM EDT reply actions

I will never like Joe daddy, his smug smile the whole time, & u just no he has been Joe ‘cool guy’ his whole life. That dude @ ur high school that ‘rolled with his boys’ everywhere. And he thought he was part of the in crowd, but ppl just called him a douche when he wasn’t around. But, he was wealthy & always threw parties so u didn’t tell him, so you had places to drink underage. But you didn’t ever answer ur cell when he wasn’t having ppl over cause u didn’t wanna hang out with him.

Ya, that’s Joe.

huh? Joe Daddy was rich before he was an MMA fighter?.. I thought he had humble beginnings?

by DAVE A on Oct 26, 2009 4:50 PM EDT up reply actions

You are an iddiot, I knew Joe personally from my freshman year in college I lived in a spare room at his moms and step dad while I wrestled at the school his step dad and Dan Henderson’s dad was coaches at. Joe was not a rich kid by any means but he was liked because he is a cool guy and treats everyone well. I went from a big city to a very small city where I knew noone and Joe was the first guy who showed me around and invited me over to his small trailer he lived in behind his manager’s house back when he was only fighting in Gladiator’s Challenge and King of the Cage. Joe would invite me over to play video games in off time or come over to play Monopoly with his family and I, he made me feel at home and I never seen him be rude or a jerk to anyone. Joe and his family are stand up people and I hope he gets a few more wins and gets another shot at the belt.
