...except he just walked into a simple takedown. This looks done.

livinginkorea · 24-10-2010 4:32am

Is Sanchez saying 'Ha' everytime he punches? Like a punch gets past the guard, 'Ha.'

Bonavox · 24-10-2010 4:32am

Sanchez is capitalising on Tiago being tired, great fight.

livinginkorea · 24-10-2010 4:32am

Great performance

Nice one, been looking into it. Would you recommend it?

FOTN. Nightmare is back

The reply of that Dars (sp?) choke attempt just showed how tired he was.

stiffler123 · 24-10-2010 4:34am

FOTN so far.

Which one? Teaching in Korea or getting an MA? I would recommend both. Check out the Lecturing and Teaching forum, big thread there on TEFL in Korea.

FreeOSCAR · 24-10-2010 4:35am

Great fight, ****ing love Sanchez when he's on form.

poldebruin · 24-10-2010 4:36am

Sanchez needed that win badly, his star was on the wane. He looked really good after the first. Definite FOTN so far.

Given their present conditions I'd have Tito for that fight. It's a wonder Chuck doesn't knock himself out when he sneezes these days.

He deserves some sort of bonus for it anyway. Unless Jake "Wet Blanket" Shields can step up against Kampmann we have a FOTN already.... Or Cain-Brock could be a screamer.

FreeOSCAR · 24-10-2010 4:39am

Shields by RNC or GC.

livinginkorea · 24-10-2010 4:40am

Jake Shields vs. Martin Kampmann

Don't know a lot about these guys. Any prospects?

Oh_Noes · 24-10-2010 4:41am

Hope Kampmann takes this. I'd like to see a Strikeforce guy come in and beat a top UFC fighter just to prove that there's more than one fight organization but Shields is so boring in his fights, it's hard to get behind him.

Well lets just say if there ever was an Anti-FOTN it'd be GSP-Shields. I like Kampmann though he's exciting enough.

poldebruin · 24-10-2010 4:45am

i'd like to see Kampman win here, but i think Shields will be favourite?

Kampmann is a UFC veteran from Denmark that usually fights the top level guys in the division, has a very impressive record. Shields has had huge success in other organizations and was poached by the UFC while he was still a champion. Far from Prospects, if Shields wins this he will get a title fight against GSP, if Kampmann wins he gets a fight for a title shot.

Shocked they introduced Shields as a world champion there, they usually wouldn't even dream of recognizing Strikeforce :pac:

Ah yeh, sure look at some of the names he has beaten.

Paul Daley, Okami, Henderson, Condit, Mayhem Miller, Mike Pyle.

Much appreciated. Heard the names before but didn't see them fight.

poldebruin · 24-10-2010 4:51am

come on kampmann, let your hands go.

Definitely hurt Shields with those knees.

sure did, and he looks a bit tired all of a sudden. if kampmann can stay on his feet in the third he has a chance.

Mr. Loverman · 24-10-2010 4:57am

Jake Shields fights are always so god damned awful. He just lies on people and does no damage.

Professey Chin · 24-10-2010 4:58am

Kampmann can finish him in this I think

Oh_Noes · 24-10-2010 4:58am

John McCarthy is doing a terrible job tonight. He really needs to stop looking to stamp his authority on it all the time, especially in pivotal moments of fights.

jayteecork · 24-10-2010 4:58am

I think Kampmann is winning this, his knees are doing huge damage and he's getting up easily from the ground.

poldebruin · 24-10-2010 4:58am

Shields looks really tired, i'd give that round to Kampman, although it could have gone the other way.

Oh_Noes · 24-10-2010 5:00am

Wow Shields just giving up more or less.

poldebruin · 24-10-2010 5:02am

yep, he gassed really badly, Rogan suggesting there was a huge weight cut?

cowzerp · 24-10-2010 5:04am

Kampmann could have easily finished that fight in the 3rd if he kept it up and put pressure on, lost due to been silly, well i think he lost!

poldebruin · 24-10-2010 5:04am

why didn't kampmann just stand up - the scorecards will be interesting now. can't see them giving it to kampman

livinginkorea · 24-10-2010 5:04am

And the winner is....

Professey Chin · 24-10-2010 5:04am

poldebruin wrote: »

16 lbs I think

stiffler123 · 24-10-2010 5:05am

Really boring fight, I blame shields.

poldebruin wrote: »

He's been fighting at 185 for a while but I always thought that was just because Nick Diaz is the 170 champ in Strikeforce and they were avoiding each other because they train together. Never seen him run out of gas like that though, maybe he should actually go back up to 185.

livinginkorea · 24-10-2010 5:05am

An unpopular decision there.

Was it just me or did the judges take longer than usual to make a decision?

24-10-2010 5:05am

I can see him taking GSP if he's strong for the fight. Other than that I'm pissed at that result. Fecking Kampmann could've taken him.

Professey Chin · 24-10-2010 5:07am

Thrown away by Kampman

poldebruin · 24-10-2010 5:08am

the 30-27 score to shields was ridiculous.Well Kampman has only himself to blame there. Not impressed by Jake Shields at all - did no damage and a very uninspiring style. lay and pray i think they call it?

jayteecork · 24-10-2010 5:08am

COME ON BROCK!

Oh_Noes · 24-10-2010 5:09am

Finally a fight that won't be going to a decision.

Bonavox · 24-10-2010 5:09am

Would love to see Cain win, but have a feeling Brock will take it.

poldebruin · 24-10-2010 5:11am

I like Cain, but I like Brock more.

stiffler123 · 24-10-2010 5:11am

Rooting for Brock here, has FOTN written all over it too.

cowzerp · 24-10-2010 5:12am

War Cain.....:)

someone is getting knocked out 1st rd, Lesnar i think!!!

They'll have a hard job tackling that cracking Sanchez vs. Thiago fight for me.

D.Q · 24-10-2010 5:14am

c'mon Brock. He's a viking.

SDTimeout · 24-10-2010 5:15am

Good evening Cowzer!

Brock KO or Cain Sub. I'm easy with either of these results. Just want a real war.
