Essential The Official MMA Thread

[The G.O.D II]

Did Dana do a press conference and talk about the Pena injury? Because I was listening to Dave Meltzer's podcast today and he was saying that some dude she was training with fukk up her knee on purpose

 

[Ralph Wiggum]

Im as big of a chael supporter you will find, but if he looses to Silva hes pretty much done for good.....hes great behind the desk tho so it wouldnt be a total loss.....

Isnt Tuf 3 on an alternate channel also? Not FS1? Anyone know?

I'm sure its on normal television in Brazil, but in the states I think you have to watch it on that fight pass bullshyt

“Apparently, when she came into the gym, and again, she was hysterical when I talked to her, crying,” White said, qualifying his comments. “She was training in her gym and one of her training partners, a guy, was saying to her, ‘oh, you’re wearing your Ultimate Fighter shirt. We’re real scared,’ this, that and talking smack to her and basically attacked her, jumped on her back and started cranking her neck and the way that she fell, her knee blew out.

“The most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard in my life. A year and a half to two years she’ll be out. I told her, leave that disgusting gym and go somewhere else with new coaches, new training partners, whatever.”

 

[So UnThotful]

^ some major fukkery going on with the Pena situation, the coach is claiming this happened because she didnt warm up before training

 

[jackswstd]

Wonder if she has a case against dude if that is true? Even though it happened in the gym I would venture to guess a case could be made for assault.

So many diff stories going on, i'm also hearing she did sum extensive leg workout/training in a morning session then when coaches left facility she started wrestling with a guy and was spinning on 1 leg while carrying him on her back and thats how her knee got tore up. Coaches and other atheletes saying it was her fault for over training when unsupervised and not told to.

I dunno but something smells fishy here. There is no way possible for you to tear your acl, mcl, lcl and meniscus accidentally. Their all on different sides of the knee andso if knee jerked 1 way there's no way opposite sided ligaments would tear. This sounds more like a targeted onslaught/attack or whatever you want to call it.

I mean you could, Robert Edwards basically did that in an NFL Rookie beach football game during the Pro-Bowl year's ago. Almost had to have his leg amputated near the knee. That said what are the odds?

He won't go anywhere imo but WSOF VS Arlovski would be a big show. WSOF is having 3 shows on NBC (not sports, just plain old NBC) this year and that could be a huge fight for them.

 

[jackswstd]

Mir vs Arlovski is ten years too late but

I would love to see Mir go back to commentating, he was good at it. had a great voice, had good insight. I would love to see him take over for Florian. I was a Florian fan as a fighter, luved the guy but my god is he a horrible commentator.

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

I remember being at a fight night party and Kenny walks into the cage and someone goes "that guy looks like a dork, he's going to get his ass kicked", I was like you don't watch too many combat sports do you ?

I'm not sure if it ever came out but Dana was pushing for Frank Mir to become the Strikeforce commentator and get rid of Frank Shamrock. Showtime denied it. It cause a pretty big beef that led to them shutting down. They also tested Frank out for the old FX job now FS1. They chose Kenny instead .
