The k1 final is in the Tokyo dome and they sell 90000 tickets. And it is the 2nd most watched single sporting event, in front of the super bowl and cricket. Unless they got there facts wrong. There are over a million pay per view sales too, more than any Tyson fight. Mma is not at that scale, but in the last 2 years it's out sold boxing in USA. The only thing that dosnt compare is the fighter pay packets. Boxers win that hands down.

It's not a dream world. It's down to pay per view figures and bums on seats in 2010/2011. I read an article on it in a magazine carnt remember the figures but it made interesting reading. Another interesting fact that the 2nd biggest sporting event is the K1 grand prix final, the first been the world cup final. It's held in a 90000 seater stadium and god knows how many on tv. No boxing match has ever come close.

Gnasher it's bigger than boxing in the states and will stay that way now. I think it's down to the fact that the best fight the best. No one ducks anybody and there are not 5 heavy weight champs who only fight in the town where they were born.

I've heard of judo Jim. He trains a lad I know from Boston. He's on you tube; matt Hallam Mma. Also look on YouTube at; ADCC and palhares is on there!

New bitch to add to the family
moonlighter replied to greendawg's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
It might be worth investing in a collar, but sods law you won't have it on, and it will drop to ground when you least expect it!! My mate has a border terrier that has no interest in going to ground, but then saying that it's never been in in a kill above ground with the lurchers on a fox, so dosnt really associate the scent of fox with anything. My parents used to have a pet russel that went to ground any chance it got. So you just never know. -
I've only just seen the topic, so I've not seen the pictures... But as for not handling until there 3 days old, what a strange thing to do. How are you suppose to check them over for a start?

Hector Lombard has just signed for the UFC. I should say that will be SIlvas next fight if he beats Cheal.
-
I phone mate. Thats how people can post on here while at work.

I've been following it properly for the last 3 or 4 years I'd say. I got espn and and watch all the UFC fight, the Mma live news and all the build up to the fight too. Anything before that I've seen on you tube, like pride and K1. What I like about the sport is that with all the build up and press, you feel like you really know some off the fighters. I've said to people who Ive tried to convert, that you'll enjoy watching one UFC event, but start to follow it and you'll get a real understanding of the fighter. Who they have beat to earn a title shot and who are the good guys and who are the ba

Did they put her to sleep to do the stiches? My vet won't do any stiches unless there under general anaphestic., which always bumps up the price.
-
A few years ago I had a £380 bill for some stiches, after a lamping accident, they kept him in over night, but didn't operate till the morning. I complained and they knocked £100 off, as I could have fetched him in the morning and saved £60 over night fee etc. like tomo says, they probally put the price up knowing the insurance will pay.

Just watched UFC 1 + 2 last night (DVD from eBay). How times have changed in a short space of time!!

To be fair though slushy, depending how yours is bred there is probally only 1/8 or 1/16 bull in yours so hardly a bull cross in the true sense of the term. I personally like saluki Xs adding to the bull cross and then probally back to the bull cross again. Not that I've seen to many this way bred, but I've seen lots of bull x, and they seem to lack what the saluki could add, ie speed, stamina, turning, but there will be some which would loose what the bull adds. Over a few generations of honest breeding though, I'm sure you could achieve what your after. Just like the coursing lads have.

That bobby looks a well made dog.

Rat face.... WTF??

Pigs will eat meat, but not in the wild they don't don't catch and eat prey

I don't think you should eat another meat eater IMO

Macdonald was perfect. Didn't seem to put a foot wrong. He will be a good one to follow. They was saying what makes him so well rounded is the fact that his first taste of combat sports is Mma. Not kick boxing or wrestling or bjj. So that way he didn't really favour one over the other.
-
Silva is middle weight (185 lb). He is fighting in July against Cheal. Jones is light heavy which is 205 lb, but they say he walks around at over 220 lb.
-
Carnt tell with this lot if it's serious or not, lol. But if you are in hospital, then get well soon mate.
-
His reach is only effective if you stand away from him and let him use you as a punch bag. I'm not saying he's a push over up close, but it's the only way to best him IMO. On the neg side though, I've been in a clinch with hendo once and he's not the biggest of blokes, even though he fought fedor at heavy!! Some blokes look bigger in real life. He I thought, looked smaller.
-
What do you recon about hendo and jones, trappa?
-
You carnt see much buddy in the pup can you mate. Have you seen any of the litter mates? Good luck for next season.
-
When he moved his foot back..... Hes not bloody gus d'amato, lol. What should have set alarm bells ringing is when his mate started filming it!
-
Hendo's got the title shot..... No this will be a fight.. And he won't stand off him getting picked apart.... Get ready for the H bomb!!
