Tito Ortiz Supports PETA

Friday, May 1st, 2009

I am not a real big PETA fan, mostly because they seem like a bunch of fanatical nut jobs that like to spray paint people’s fur coats (while they are wearing them, I might add). I also have been known to eat a steak or a pork chop from time to time, which I believe would put me at odds with PETA’s core philosophy. That being said, I have not really seen much from them in recent years, and so I don’t know if their strategy has changed. I do know that I would support Tito and PETA in this dog fighting thing. Below is a video from PETA, which Tito did to support eliminating dog fighting in our communities which I found on MMABlips.   So here is possibly the only support you will find of PETA from this carnivore.

Kyle Maynard: First MMA Fight

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

Kyle Maynard had his first fight in Auburn Alabama, Saturday night.   Based on an article written by Bloody Elbow, Maynard was not able to wear gloves, and therefore was forbidden to throw any punches.  This is round 1 of the fight, found on YouTube.  Not very impressive fight from Maynard’s side.  I have read on other posts that the other two rounds were very similar to the first.

Although I applaud Maynard for stepping into the ring, based on what I saw in the first round, I am not convinced he should be an MMA fighter.  His opponent, Bryan Fry, effectively was able to keep Maynard from taking him down by throwing punches at his face and backing away when Maynard would come in for a takedown.  In the end it was a unanimous decision loss for Maynard.


Who’s the Winner?

I just found this on YouTube.  I think the winner is the one with his arms raised in the end.

UFC 96, “Rampage” vs. the “Dean of Mean”

Friday, March 6th, 2009

UFC 96 is this weekend, Saturday March 7, at 10p (eastern time).  Steve Cofield interviews Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at the prefight.  He asks him about his camp preparing for UFC 96, and his mental state preparing for the fight with “The Dean of Mean” Keith Jardine.  It’s interesting to see how Rampage feels about his opponents, before a fight, and his mentality of the competition.  This is a good video showing the mind of Rampage.

Koscheck Stoppage

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

I keep seeing stuff on different blogs like MMABlips, Bloody Elbow, and Cagepotato about the Josh Koscheck Paulo Thiago stoppage due to knockout.  Evidently Koscheck is upset that the Ref, Steve Mazzagatti, stopped the fight because he was not knocked out, and he wanted the time to prove that he could have gotten back in control of himself.  Cagepotato has the best article about this: The Only Rule You’ll Ever Need to Determine Whether a Fight Was Stopped Too Early.

It’s hard to find good video about this fight (I suspect because the UFC holds the video close to the vest), but there is a small snippet on cagepotato showing the knockout.  I have to admit that when Koscheck goes down it looks like he is getting ready to stave off an attack, but when Mazzagatti stops the fight, and pulls on his arm, Koscheck does look like he is in la la land.   I am going to have to agree with cagepotato that Koscheck was out when Mazzagatti stopped the fight.  Have a look at the snippet on cagepotato here.

You can see Koschecks response to the stoppage here.
