Thanks! I will. I started with Spanish, then thought ... oh, is it Mexican? Turns out I didn't even have the right language. I am a provincial, badly educated Amurican.

Please remove the "hispanic" tag. He's brazilian. Therefore, not Hispanic, but Latin. There's a difference.

So, I have not watched it yet, BUT this is still JUST Meg backing up what she had already said, correct? She is only clarifying things from HER side right? She is not providing anything concrete?

I am not trying to poop on her, and I am not a fan of the TSA, but as far as we know it is still he-said/she-said (with the TSA providing SOME cctv action),

In case you are one of the people who think this girl is ful of shit, this guys attempt at flying AA from San Diego sounds AWFULLY familiar.
And it gets worse, he is escorted from the area out of the airport, then stopped by an offical who
"quote..He informed me that I could not leave the airport. He said that once I start the screening in the secure area, I could not leave until it was completed. Having left the area, he stated, I would be subject to a civil suit and a $10,000 fine. I asked him if he was also going to fine the 6 TSA agents and the local police officer who escorted me from the secure area. After all, I did exactly what I was told. He said that they didn't know the rules, and that he would deal with them later. They would not be subject to civil penalties. I then pointed to Mr. Silva and asked if he would be subject to any penalties. He is the agents' supervisor, and he directed them to escort me out. The man informed me that Mr. Silva was new and he would not be subject to penalties, either. ..."

I enjoy a good UFC match and the surrounding drama, but does anyone else wish they'd go back to the days of UFC I through III where it was a lot more like Street Fighter II?

Style clash is certainly intriguing to think about, but rarely seems to play out as a good fight.

It is nice when you see someone come in with a unique feature, talent or approach to fighting: Lyoto Machida & Anderson Silva (as GK says), Genki Sudo, Megumi Fujii, Cung Le, Karo Parisyan... These fighters all do (or did) things that made them stand apart whether they were successful or not.

I miss Pride even with all it's head stomping douchery.

WEC is good cause their fights are more technical .

Lighter weight classes means a smaller portion are heavy handed.

Carlos Condit is on this card too. He's was a WEC badass that switched to UFC cause he's REEALLY good at beatin' people up.

Tho yeah, the only unorthodox fighters in the UFC are Lyoto Machida and Anderson Silva really.

Oh well, UFC became all about the revenue as soon as Dana White took over.
You can't really expect a whole lot after that.. = p

I guess I wish there was more judo in MMA in general. That's rather fun to watch. =]

Only Spider Silva could be in a knockout video and not hit anyone or get hit.


He lands 3x in this video: 2 punches on Forrest Griffin and that really bizarre elbow to Tony Fryklund.

Silva is still a badass. Currently he's ranked #1 in all pound for pound mma rankings.

Only Spider Silva could be in a knockout video and not hit anyone or get hit.

Your video, Mark Hunt Atomic Butt Drop on Wanderlei Silva, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Each one of those uppercuts at 0:54 would probably kill me.

And yeah, the "rules" to "ultimate fighting" kind of get old but Silva's the man. He proves that you can get around them.

As a boxing fan, I can't enjoy heavyweight mma fights. It lacks the presicion and discipline that I'm used to. I'll watch a good boxing match over a the best mma fights any day. That's not to say i'm an mma hater, I just think that boxing has it's own place, and it's a shame that the younger generation has seemed to have forgoten how awesome a sport boxing is:

Great, this argument again.
Explain how being FORCED to stand directly in front of someone as you wing haymakers at each other takes anymore precision or discipline than what you see in mma.
Boxing is to MMA as Firing pin is to Gun.
It's less dynamic, the action is less aesthetically appealing, and it's just as brutal as mma.
No one forgot how awesome boxing was. We all just remember how boring it is.
Brock Lesnar is an awful fighter. That's why you can't stand to watch this fight.
Watch Anderson Silva. Urijah Faber.
If you still think boxing has something on mma you're no doubt a die hard fanboy.
Which is fine.
Just remember to tell your friends at the geriatric ward to refrain from using such a poor argument.
=P


Look I still enjoy boxing as well as mma, but the argument that it's boring is pretty weak. How quickly you forgot about the last ufc in the spring, and this fight only looks marginaly more appealing. I remember hearing all the ufc fans bitching about wasting their money on those matches in the spring because it was a bunch of boring fights. The standup talent isn't anywhere near the level of boxing. Is all i'm going to say and if you can't see that then your not as smart as you would like people to believe, with your pompus arrogant attitude. And the reason they were throwing haymakers was because they had to fight A 10 round match, (something mma athletes are not physiclly capable of)they were completly exhausted but the match was too close for either fighter to sit back and wait for a desicion...if you weren't able to understand that about fighting/boxing then i really don't know why i'm wasting my time, because you don't even know what your talking about. mma is a good sport. I can appreciate all of the disciplines, my favorite fighter is emilionenko-- i'm not spell checking that name--, and my favorite style is sambo, it's far and away the best fighting discipline. My point is mma needs to step up it's standup game it's sloppy. the announcers were getting all excited about grazing uppercuts and slow sloppy jabs, and if kids start thinking that those punches are something to get excited about then were are going to see much more crappy, boring, amateur hour, fights. and lose all of our muhhamad ali's, tysons, aruro gattis, roberto durans, and all the rest of the truly great stand up artists. they will be replaced by 500 lb slabs of meat who can barely lift their arms to throw a punch, ask them to throw 200 punches and theyre fat, meaty heads will explode at the notion that it is possible.

Great this argument again. As a boxer you aren't forced to stand in front of your opponent, you endeavor to flank your opponent. The same way you would endeavor to flank your opponent in MMA.

There is a difference from Prize Fighting and Amateur Boxing. One is point based (like fencing) and one is more for show. Hay-makers in Amateur boxing score the same as jab punches; points are scored based on skill. Knockdowns are key in Prizefighting, and there's money involved.

Prize fighting usually is not a show of skill, more a show of balls out slugging. I'd rather watch two guys go at it with swords and nets. Instead of watching some guys roll around on the floor, or just hammer away at each other.

Every now and then there is someone who makes boxing interesting to watch. Most of them are counter punching defensive fighters. People who can bob, weave, slip, and catch; then counter.

Remember, they're fucking sports. So who gives a shit as long as you enjoy watching two flop-dicks pounding each other.
