yes, i watched it too. Mirko lost. i was very disappointed with his performance. he was very passive. fedor deserved to win, even though i cheered for mirko.
I followed the fight also. I was surprised that Filipovic went out of steam so early (so I read). Must have been really interesting fight.
i hope that is a joke. if not i am going to kill you all! or maybe silva lost advertently so shogun would have an easier match against a gassed opponent
DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mirko wasnt firing at all! fedor had his game covered completely. then to top it off shogun destroys arona?? If only overeem didnt gas. yoshida's stand is pretty solid.
I'm glad Shogun beat Arona - can you imagine having Ricardo "I'll bore you all to submission" Arona as champion? The last thing Pride would want is a decision fighter as GP champion. The only awkward thing now is that Silva and Shogun have to fight for the MW title, or does Arona get the first shot at Silva? Word I'm hearing is that Fedor injured Crocop in the first round (possibly a broken rib) and I don't know what happened with Silva yet, bit injury isn't being ruled out - he hasn't really looked himself all GP Those of you who have seen the fight - How flipping slick was Werdum's triangle?! That was just on out of nowhere I can't wait to watch the rest of the event, I've only seen a couple of fights so far
Was it worth ordering? I am having my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow, so I figure if it was good I will order it, and watch other people in pain
silva would've beat arona's a** if there was that extra round. 2 rounds = ga* 3 rounds = a real fight.
Watching Shogun stomp Arona's face into the mat is worth watching over and over Shogun/ Overeem is worth the order on its own - such an exciting match I agree in the inevitable rematch, Silva will seriously damage Arona
Did anybody else see Mirko's arm bar attempts? What was he thinking? That was a great event and Shogun's tornado kick against Arona would've been the coolest move ever if it connected.
Shogun's kick was awesome!! He's def gaining as one of my fav fighters to watch.... Did anyone else see how Arona acted after the bell rang when he was in Silva's guard.. No class whatsoever... so glad Shogun pounded on him
Ya, but Silva did kinda deserve it. He was talking a lot before the fight. Silva should've fought the way he always fights, he gave way too much respect was too worried. How come he wasn't clinching with Arona? It worked for Shogun.
that's why i think he has knee problems again. maybe the stomp that missed nakamura ruined his knee again :c
overeem seemed to give up after his guillotine attempt failed. he was dominating the fight with shogun till that point.
I got it last night, and enjoyed the fedor/crop-crop fight quite a bit. Silva dissapointed me, he didnt seem like a champion in that fight, in fact even my little brother who knows even less about mma than me could tell he was getting beat. Shogun on the other hand really impressed me, he really took it to overrem and arona, and destroyed arona. If Silva fights Shogun, then I think I might put my money on Shogun, he seems from what little I know to be even better than Silva. Anyways, money well spent!!
AHAHAHAHAHAH YES GO FEDOR!!1!!!!!1!1!1 *ahem* sorry guys. Nice event and I'm so glad to see three things: 1.Fedor convincingly beat CC 2. Wanderlei losing 3. Shogun winning, been quite the fan of his since his war with lil Nog.
Fedor Vs Crocop was a war. Crocop hurt Fedor with some of his punches and broke his nose, Fedor came back and hurt Crocop.
