The BIG ufc Thread

Yah, I only saw the one episode, but all the guys he was training seemed suprised by how little he was doing. I have never liked the guy, never liked his attitude, or his fighting style. When he won most (all?) of his fights on TUF by laying his fat *** on top of his opponents and tapping their heads for points, wtf? I know they are all trying to win their fights, but if every fighter was doing it that way I would never want to watch this sport again. I was so upset when he actually won his season of TUF. Just my 2cents.

i'm more the type that likes a fighter that does everything possible to win.
if that is laying your fat *** on top of someone you do that and throw some farts in it.
thtas probably why i'm starting to hate anderson silva and jon jones.
they are goofing around in the octagon.
nelson is goofing around in training but he has proven in the ring he gets down to business and he can take a punch.
at the end of the day i respect that.
not everyone has the body type/bone structure to be ripped like cheik congo.
the reason he could be in the ring with cheik congo, is a miracle :P

I might be biased here but it seems like stepping stone stevan struve is turning into a contender

You're biased. *Stipe is going to obliterate his ***, and he'll go back to being the gate keeper for the HW division. Sucks to be a GK that early in your career, but that's just the way it is.

*edit

I'm leaving my original post there because I'm an idiot. I didn't know the fight already happened... Yuck.
 
i posted after i saw the fight yes.
but i didnt realize he was only 24 years old.
so yeah being 24 years old means he has room to improve from stepping stone/gatekeeper to a contender.(not saying champion , just contender)

and for a GK/SS he has exciting fights. also just looked up his record it is better than expected.
25-5 overal and 9-3 in the ufc not bad

I don't think he'll ever even hit "contender" status, to be honest. I really like him, and I like watching him fight, but he just doesn't have the "IT" factor. He'll never even be in the same arena as guys like Jones who use their length so well, because he's too slow and tall. That isn't something that you can fix with training, you either are fast or not -- he's not. He also has a questionable chin, which again, is not something you can fix with training. Who in the top 10 HW do you think he could even stand a chance against? I can't think of any.

1. Junior dos Santos

2. Cain Velasquez

3. Daniel Cormier

4. Fabricio Werdum

5. Frank Mir

6. Josh Barnett

7. Travis Browne

8. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira

9. Stefan Struve

10. Roy Nelson

I don't even think he could beat Big Nog, and Nog is as washed up as a fighter can get. Also, while finding this list, I almost lul'd at Mir and Barnett being on the list. That shows how sad the HW division is.
 
Not saying he will get the belt.
jsut saying he might be in a number 1 contender fight.
winner gets to face the champ..
and he'll probably lose that fight.
also speed isnt necessarily needed in the HW division.


but i do love to see him fight. dont knwo if thats just a bit "hometown" bias.
but i always get a lil happy inside the moment i see his name on the card
 
This ain't boxing, this is the UFC. I think Vitor had one fight in both respective weight divisions in UFC before challenging for the title at both 185 and 205. If they need a 'contender' then one decent win can push someone to a title fight. Struve could easily be pumped as a contender if he gets that one solid W.

This is what everyone said about Brock Lesnar as well, just because he happened to be a pro wrestler.

I know you're dense, but did you seriously just use Brock Lesner as a crutch? Quite possibly the biggest joke in MMA history, trailing only James Tony.

Uh, Mir is faster than Struve by a long shot, and we all saw what his lack of speed got him against JDS. You MUST be fast in the HW division. Being a fat, ex-roider with a weenus on your chest that can simply just bully you with his size won't cut it in today's MMA, which is why Lesner went back to where he belongs.

Struve is like the Nick Diaz of the HW division.

I'm not sure I see what you're saying. Diaz is one of the most unlikeable pukes in all of MMA.
