Man, Silva deserved that. You clown Stephan Bonnars and Forrest Griffins of the world like that, but Weidman is a fighter.
Was that left hook a fluke? Did Anderson get caught slipping/showboating? Or was he getting outclassed throughout the fight? Damn!
All that tickin' and pop lockin' got hit ass sent to the ground. The second punch bounced his head like a superball. Moron deserved that shit. Doesn't want a rematch, huh?
Wasn't a fluke at all. Weidman is a good, accurate striker who knows how to put together combinations and throw punches properly in spite of the fact that he comes from a wrestling background. Silva didn't think that Weidman was capable of catching him like that, and he paid for his overconfidence. Silva did a great job of stuffing Weidman's TDs after he got off of his back in the first round. That fight was probably his to win if he didn't go overboard with the taunting and showboating.
Not really MMA-specific post, but I was just reading about Jenna Jameson's rant against ex-hubby Tito Ortiz over his performance-enhancing drug use while an active MMA fighter.
I took a kick boxing course yesterday at CSW in Brea, the other day. The guy who taught it was Erik Paulson! Its his home gym. Guru! I have seen so many videos with him so it was weird to see him in person. The funny thing is that when unsigned the waiver, he came up behind me and tried to spook me, I didn't flinch. Just stunned to see him ha! A pretty laid back and kind person, not as intense as I thought he would be. Now I have muscles aching I never felt before after taking a proper kick boxing class. My groin and neck muscles in particular. Going back tomorrow.
If You Want To Be A Champion: "NEVER CHASE PUSSY!!!" Believe it or not, I have trained with first three American UFC Champions Dan Severn, Don Frye, and Mark Kerr. Also, I am good friends with Mike Van Arsdale. The experience was wonderful. I used to be a strength and conditioning coach for Arizona State University. One of the sports I coached was collegiate and olympic wrestling. Also, I have trained in boxing and trained a few boxers in strength and conditioning. Personally, I practice Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Which is really Judo), Tae Kwon Do, and Sambo. I no longer have anything to do with mixed martial arts; however, I am well aware of the dedication these marvelous athletes must possess. The discipline and sacrifice does not leave time for a lot of socializing. I would tell my combat athletes three things: 1) "Do not masturbate!" "I do not care what science states concerning masturbation, because your opponent probably disregarded science concerning masturbation and has a nasty attitude; therefore, you should do the same." 2) "Whether training or not training, NEVER CHASE PUSSY!!!" "Chasing pussy has ruined my life and the lives of many other men. Furthermore, WOMEN DO NOT RESPECT A MAN WHO CHASES PUSSY, in the long run! Wives do not respect husbands who chase after their pussy!" 3) "Your woman, friends, family, and associates will not be in the ring, cage, or on the mat, when you compete; therefore, if any human is not a positive influence in your life and does not support your goals and lifestyle, eliminate or limit your interactions with that human." My athletes thought my methods were extremely ascetic, until many of my athletes had successful careers. Ladies, I do apologize for my vulgarity. I am attempting to convey and share an experience.
An athlete has to decide how much he or she is willing to sacrifice, in order to not to just be victorious, but reach his or her full potential in sports and life. Long after the athlete competes, her or she will have urges and challenges. The successful athlete learns to deny certain urges. If an athlete succumbs to those urges, the athlete is inappropriately vulnerable in competition and life. With that being stated, there are certain relationships and times for sexually activity and masturbation. I cannot tell you how many athletes destroyed their career and lives having sex outside of marriage. This has nothing to with religion!!! Baby Mamma Drama have ruined athletes and teams! Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson, George Foreman, and Sugar Ray Robinson lost, when they were chasing pussy!!! These are facts!!! Undefeated Rocky Marciano retired, before he realized he was chasing pussy!
