  1. simoman wasnt brock lesnar a wrestler....i remember someone saying he was being trained by the gracies in mma is that right ?...personally ive never given that silly boys wrestling a look in,i find watching it painfully embarrassing and degrading...so dont !

     

    i would think he will need a long time and plenty of cardio if he,s starting out from scratch.....so whats he all about then ?

  2. I'll have you know Gnasher tiddlywinks can have you're eye out. one misplaced Tiddly slap bang in the wink and you could be blinded, its a brutal sport :yes::whistling:....

     

    cheers

     

    jasper

     

     

    :clapper::clapper: ....sounds my kind of game that,just not sure about spending too long on my hands and knees,its a dangerous position to be in round my way.

     

    on that same card i think the cote/grove fight will be a good one....also id like to see frank mir get back on track and i hope he does well...never heard of his opponent do you know anything of him kye ?

     

     

    speedy your entitiled to an opinion mate and if your anti violence then so be it....suppose it could be said that stating an opinion against the grain on something that doesnt interest you is just starting trouble.

     

    yes also...good luck in your next show kye...niggling injuries are par for the course i guess,you can bet your nuts the other fella is carrying a few as well...id be worried about the show you have been asked to do if the fellas that good and your up and coming...dont just be an opponent for anybody mate :thumbs: ...you seem an intelligent enough character so im sure you,ll make the right decisions.

  3. Well im going to stick my neck out and go against the grain here and disagree with you two lads.....i think gonzaga and koshcheck will both win.

    firstly i know what its like to get to an age where your body wrongs you :D and as much as i want him to win i think gonzaga will have size strength and youth over randy and this time it may show...i know we have all said this several times before,but like i say,when you reach a certain age sometimes your body just doesnt perform in the way you are used to and this can happen real quick and may not be obvious until it happens,couple this with the fact that randys career seems to have taken a somewhat unpredictable path of late,he seems to win the fights we think he wont and loses a few we think he will win...im going with gonzaga and probably an end to coutures career.

    st.pierre- koscheck i agree with kye im not sure st.pierre has the ability to dig deep in a real war,i think his punch resistance is probably ok but against someone in as equally good condition as himself who wont gas,and has the strength to dominate him,i wonder about his heart in that way...

    so for me its Gonzaga win

    Koscheck win.....hope im wrong on both !

     

    for the fella who hates the sport.....i hate tiddlywinks but i dont slate people who love it....back yourself up with facts...and if you cant then stick to tiddlywinks !

  4. Like most of the other things in this so called " trendy " society,text talk is complete bollocks used by people with very little pride in themself or the english language and culture we have been brought up in......if someone hasnt got the time to write mate instead of m.8 then they havent got time to be on the internet full stop !...either that or they just enjoy acting like a prick and think it makes them just a little younger or trendier if they speak like a retard....no pride!

  5. Cutting like that im assuming 155 is not your natural weight ? but hey if you can get down to it more power to you !...how long are you out from a fight ?...i cant see it being long before more weight divisions are brought in,which will be a shame....ive always thought it a strange one,you think if you was a boxer at 155 your a light middleweight yet mma your a lightweight...and if your a lighweight boxer at the division limit of 135 your going to have to give 20 lb away to even walk in the cage mma !...also,with only 5 weights i think you get fighters aiming at a weight that isnt always their best weight,rather than fighting at the weight that is best for them,if you get my meaning.....also,more weights = more titles = more money i suppose.....just hope it doesnt go down the road of boxing where you have 175,000 world champions :thumbdown:

     

    Testing positive didnt seem to do tim sylvias career much harm did it,seems if you admit it and smile nicely its not too harmful....i seem to remember a few years back josh barnett also was it after he beat couture...must admit i had my doubts about sean sherk he is one freakish kind of athlete at that weight !

     

    Swinging for the fences ? jumping over them may be a safer option :D

  6. Personnaly, i hope Jardine kills that mother f****r Chuck Liddell!...lol... :laugh::boxing: ..........(Just kidding Gnasher!)

     

    All the best guys!..

     

    Jay,..

     

     

    :clapper::clapper:

    clearly they have already got you talking like a yank...have they got you into the " if it aint nailed down,eat it " mentality yet ? obviously not if you can still get down to 155 :D

    Best of luck to you mate....hopefully you,ll be knocking on sean sherks door soon,rather you than me :)

  7. Am i right in thinking somebody could have passed their driving test aged 40 in 1980....then not driven a car for the next 27 years....then legally get in a car and drive it today aged 67 ?..or 50 and 77.....60 and 87 etc etc ? cant be right that

  8. Whats your predictions...top 3...maybe next year if any of us are still alive we can look back at this and see who predicted right.

     

    mine are...

    1 Liverpool

    2 Man Uted

    3 Chelsea

  9. Gnasher, im affraid i dont belave in reincarnation, or "another life, after death"...so im gonna try and live the life i DO have right now,...and im lucky enough that it didnt involve me having to live my whole life in a country where i am a second class citizen, and the life style i choose to lead (namely hunting and fighting) make me some kinda thug, or sicko...when im led on my death bed, im gonna be able to look back on my life, and one thing i WONT wonder is "What if I?"...i dont wanna wonder what would have happened, i wont to do it, and either succeed, or fail,...then i will know...

     

    If you had a chance, to start all over again, in a country of equal oppertunity, with laws that didnt make you a criminal for the life style you choose to lead, would you REALY not take it?...honestly?...maybe it makes me LESS of an Englishman, because maybe you see me as the rat thats fleeing the sinking ship?...well, i will go along with that, but this rat made it to greener pastures, while some of the more noble, braver rats drowned...

     

    Gnasher, its very noble that you think that you as one man can make a difference, but unless your SuperMan, i cant see it happening mate?...

     

     

    Just quickly....the above sounds a lot like " i love my country but my government failed me "...probably the most popular saying at the front of the queue at the immigration office !

    You are no less of an englishman than me mate...but if you think im deserting my life long friends, family and values as an englishman rather than standing and defending whats mine then think again....and theres plenty of others who feel exactly the same.....

    England is down.......but certainly not out :gunsmilie::D

     

    now back to fighting.............what weight do you fight at Kye just out of interest?

  10. Fair comments you make Kye...cant say i agree with all of them but i get what your saying.....cant argue one bit about the government of our country,however i have enough pride in my country to stand by it and try and do whatever little there is we can do to change and improve it....my football team didnt do too well last year either but i havent suddenly become a man utd supporter !!...we all make our choices and i wish you and anyone else all the luck with the choices they make....but come on....would you have made a comment like " i hope he kills him man " before you was under the influence of yanks ? :D ...lets face it they do love a bit of hypetalk...like floyd mayweather saying for months before the fight he would stand toe to toe with delahoya,then spent the whole 12 rounds on the back foot !

    mick bisping said the pressure he felt of fighting on that show was nothing compared to the pressure he felt inside the house to " trash talk "

    As for bispings chin,i think most would agree that when we talk of a fighter having a suspect chin it is because he is often in trouble...if bisping cant take a hard shot then he must have the best powers of recovery ever seen,both the situations you mentioned he was briefly caught with a shot,nothing more...and having been caught with that shot went on to quickly win the fight...you are right he is the poster child for ufc in europe...and because of this every move he makes and every clip he takes is scrutinized(this conversation being a good example)...when in reality can you ever imagine saying randy couture has a suspect chin ? no,but he has been caught/clipped and gone down plenty of times in all levels of competition....i think like most good prospects we like to try and pick holes in them and find their weak points,amir khan being another good example...but i personally dont think bispings chin is a weak point...time will tell.

     

    I guess your point about religion is pretty self explanatory,as you say its the biggest cause of loss to human life which shows how important it is to some,and maybe the reason it shouldnt be mocked....but we all have opinions and they dont always come out the same and if we didnt hear different opinions to our own we would never learn so i appreciate your thoughts and opinions and wish you luck in achieving your goals.All the best.

  11. Been reading this thread with interest and have agreed with most of whats been written so didnt feel much need to comment until a few points stood out...michael bispings chin is way supsect ??? believe me ive seen bisping hit hard and he can take a good shot,just because he hasnt been banged about in the ufc doesnt mean he hasnt been severely tested before this...a clean hard shot is a clean hard shot,just because it wasnt by a ufc fighter doesnt make it any less of a hard shot ! I hope he does well he is an honest fighter who puts everything he has into the sport and has done everything asked of him so far.

    kye...the comments you made about diego sanchez i find strange coming from somebody who competes himself...i am fully aware of the respect between lads who compete,whether they know each other or not i have never heard a quote like " i hope he kills that guy man "....i know you probably only meant it in jest but it just surprised me to hear somebody who competes themself talk like that...i respect any man who has the guts to step in the ring/cage and as much as i would like to win i certainly wouldnt want to seriously injure any man...my apologies if this seems like im being a prick,im not...i just feel that kind of talk demeans combat sports...you have a yank flag by your name which may explain it :D ..also,if the man wants to thank jesus thats his buiseness,you shouldnt knock any mans values when it comes to god !..like ive said,no offence to you just your comments surprised me thats all.

    as for bj penn- sanchez i would expect penn to win that one,if he could get his cardio right i feel he is one of the most complete and dangerous fighters on the circuit....liddel - jardine i think if liddel still has the same hunger it will be a quick knockout in his favour i dont think jardine is quick enough to keep away standing up or technically good enough to take him down....but i might be wrong....i think this will randys last contest as well...i can see him taking a painful loss but i hope to be wrong on that one.

  12. Hitler was a dick.....but he or the nazis has got f**k all to do with what we are facing today. Anyone who uses the "nazi" card is using a knee jerk reaction. Most people wouldn#t know National Socialism if it bit them on their arse. A redundant argument used by people who are unable to shout their own corner. Lazy arguments from tired people

     

     

    The above is absolutely spot on in my opinion....it seems whenever somebody has any thoughts that relate to colour/prejudice/race/pride in their country....and they voice them thoughts,they get a bunch of dogooders start banging on about hitler and the jews......what the f**k has hitler got to do with this discussion....wanting your country to stay your country is just a little different to wiping out a race of people dont you think !!...as the chap above says,this type of shit normally comes from people who cant shout their own corner and dont really have their own views so resort to complete extremes on a subject they think is similar :doh:

  13. I think by bringing little things like world wars into the conversation is kind of getting away from the subject....of course you cant go by the book when it comes to extreme circumstances like a world war and no of course nobody would feel the need to want to send back to their country of origin situations like the lad aboves gr father found himself in.... that still doesnt make him british but of course in extreme circumstances provisions have to be made.

     

    I think what pisses most people off is we are not in a world war at the moment,or anything like the extreme circumstances you are talking about ...we have a choice at the moment, a very simple choice,do we stop allowing the worlds problems to come to this small country causing its own people do become second class citizens,or do we allow to come here any and everybody who wants to ?

     

    Talking about racial purity and nazis is going to extremes that dont need to be gone to....basic commonsense is enough....if all this shit was stopped now and repatriation offered to those that dont belong here through basic origins(in other words the mistakes already made) there is a chance that britain will maintain its own identity and secure mine and your childrens and gr childrens futures as british people.....let it go the way it is at the rate it is and the only thing we might be able to hold onto that is british is its name,and i wouldnt even bet on that !

  14. im only asking because i have very little experience with lurchers,but would a lurcher run a catmill ? the type mayfield used to have ?

    every "keep" ive ever seen was geared up for bulldogs, these wouldnt apply to lurchers or terriers (other breeds) surely :hmm:

  15. although mayfield was a great conditioner in his day most of his ideas would be condsidered very old hat nowadays and not really worth learning from by todays standards.

     

     

    A VERY WISE OLD MAN ONCE TOLD ME .........

     

    " STEP AWAY FROM NATURE AND YOU WILL FECK UP BADLY " ........... WORDS IVE FOUND TO BE VERY TRUE

     

     

    DUCKWING :big_boss:

     

     

    Cant argue with that.....like everything else though,time creates more knowledge and more knowledge leads to improvements......im sure if old don had access to some of the stuff around today he would have used it.

  16. Well then shall we say that there are no breeds of dog...they are all just wolfs?...lets just call them wolfs,tall,short,fat or thin...or shall we be sensible and use evolution as a guide

     

    To define when and where we draw the line at saying somebody is from british roots is just simple common sense surely.....if a few generations are from british roots and they show that in themselves and their offspring and their offsprings offspring then thats good enough for me....im no historian and to be honest i dont really have the knowledge or interest to delve back into history to decide who is and is not worthy of being called british...but i know like i know i have a nose on my face that a brown skinned person with absolutely nothing in common with me from looks to culture is not british...and just because they have a child with someone who is british does not make their next generation british....if bred back to british people where do you then draw the line and say right ok now your british ? well thats a good question and one my uneducated head couldnt put an answer to...but then i guess to the people who need be making those decisions its basic commonsense,which unfortunately the people who make these and all other decisions at the moment,dont have a lot of !

  17. This is the problem we as english people are now up against,we are rotting from the inside out...our own english people are now becoming so brainwashed that we are actually willing to sit and differentiate between good and bad immigrants :doh:

    For me it doesnt matter if they are black white or blue if they are not british and from british roots then they do not belong here...this country is not big enough to solve the worlds problems.

  18. They do have a right to a house, in their own country. How do they deserve a home in England before an English person.

     

    Joe :D

     

     

    Absolutely true.....what do we owe them or any other foreigner....we owe them nothing,we should not be the soft touch that the whole world can feel free to rely on....our government puts being everyones best friend and all this multicultural integration bollocks in front of their own people...personally i dont want to integrate and as a reasonably intelligent human being living in a free society am i not entitled to say what i do or dont want,well apparently not,if i dont like it im a racist...racism is against the law ! so for speaking freely i am a criminal ????

    in some ways you cant blame these foreigners if we as a country are daft enough allow it,but never forget....it is exploitation at its worst,these people come here to exploit our country not embrace it !

     

    The only way i see as going in the right direction is with the BNP...ok,in many ways they are nowhere near ready in any way to run the country,but their general beliefs and priorities for me stand way in front of anyone else and lets face it,most of this countries problems lie at the feet of the amount of non white/brits who are bedding down every night living in my and your country being treated equally to me and you...

    The bnp,s views on foreigners is in my opinion very realistic....we cant just say " f**k em,send them home "...after all,we got ourself into this mess we have to get ourself out,and it will cost us....repatriation is a realistic and sensible option....give them X amount of money to take back to their own country to set themself up or at least give them a better life and thats our job done...we didnt owe them in the first place so a little back hander to get rid of them is pretty decent of us all things considered....we wont see a difference in our life time,but hopefully our kids and our kids kids will see a benefit,and will see england and english people for what they are...a strong and proud nation

  19. Frank Bruno, Audley Harrrison, John Ruiz, Vitali Klitchko,Matt Skelton, Danny Williams, - They ALL held titles. . . . . . . . .

     

     

    "a poor boxer " and being world class is a big difference....styles make fights and he did what he needed to do to win,had he tried to stand and outbox the fella he would have lost....

    foreman,liston etc etc didnt do bad for being "poor boxers"

    i wouldnt call any of them "poor boxers" but you named heavyweights at an era when the division has been poor but they all had good points....you can only beat who is out there !

  20. cant see no harm in keeping 2 pups myself as long as you have the time to dedicate to them and you treat them as individuals,ie,let them develop at their own rate and not judge one by the other.

    as for a gap between dogs thats completely up to you i suppose and depends what else you have going on in life,cant really see any specific reason

  21. I can only think that M'bye was having an off night.

    Rees is a poor boxer - Enzo Calzaghe looked dumstruck when he won.

    Put your money on the 1st challenger he fights to take his title. :boxing:

     

     

    bit harsh that !...you dont win titles by being a poor boxer......the lad fought a good fight and got his tactics spot on,he wasnt expected to win and he won easily thats why everyone looked dumbstruck.....hopefully he will take the game a little more serious now and make a few defensies.
