I hear ya there friend! I happened to chance on one of the fights before (Shamrock was fighting some guy). Anyway, intensity wise, I feel like watching a rematch or Tyson and Holyfield (if it ever would've come true). Napapatalon ako minsan eh.

The prized Gracie family all of them have lost in Pride to only one guy. Kazushi Sakuraba.
You can buy orig of the famous Sakuraba vs. Royce gracie fight in virra mall ground floor it's like 3 dvd thing. But that fight was two years back.
Hey xage,
Ano nga pala wowow?Anong channel sa Destiny yan?Is that the usual UFC on channel 23?Wasn't able to watch last Sat.

Cause Pride is the most prestigous NHB event in the world. UFC is mostly low end and semi contractual fighters. And they earn like mga 5 times more in pride then fighting in UFC. And UFC is not exactly that well appreciated in hte US. I mean in the last pride event pare 90500 people came to watch in Japan (I was supposed to tape that for you hayop ang mga matchup). ;D
These are the fouls in UFC:
Butting with the head.
Hair pulling.
Groin attacks of any kind.
Striking to the ..... ... ... back of the head.
Striking downward using the point of the elbow.
Kicking the head of a grounded opponent.
Kneeing the head of a grounded opponent.
Stomping a grounded opponent.
Spiking an opponent to the canvas on his head or neck.
Holding the shorts or gloves of an opponent.
Holding the ropes or the fence.
Timidity, including, without limitation, avoiding contact with an opponent, intentionally or consistently dropping the mouthpiece or faking an injury.
Throwing in the towel during competition
Hi Elf,
Where did you see the rules? You're right, with so much rules, eh how can one defeat an oponent?
I was fortunate enough to catch the 2002 UFC on pay-per-view this weekend. D*mn, that was great! :o
Hey xage,

Your from South right? PM me. I will tell you were to subscribe... Man I left Destiny after finding out that this cable company sure do rocks!!
my goodness, I keep losing the bidding war on sakuraba nhb fights compilation tapes! >:(
Oops.. I think I got the first and only UFC appearance of Sakuraba? ;D UFC Japan.... controversial yet AOK!
Tank is the real UFC fighter!
UFC is going out of business na !!! ;D heehehe PRide already got the their Nevada licensing agreement and will be holding events in the US !!!!
i think grapplers are boring. they may have good technique, but no one wants to watch those practically motionless gracie floor moves.
i would rather see strikers like fry anyday.
Frye is also a great grappler (Greco-Roman variety) if he wants to, but he just loves to punish opponents with his FISTS... ;D ;D ;D ;D
Lucky shot by Pete Williams. ;D
Yes, talo na naman si Coleman by split decision but I thought he won it.
Anyw.. see how PRIDE products are... they are goners and goodbyes from UFC? (Hello Coleman is now with PRIDE) ;D
You missed the exciting Bas Rutten-Tsuyoshi Kosaka match. TK dominated the early action before getting decimated in overtime. :(
By the way, nakabili ako dati (di ko na matandaan kung kaylan) ng UFC hits from someone from ebili.com. VHS copy lang (from DVD), I picked up the tape from a store that sells health drugs/medicines in Glorietta. Kilala nyo ba siya? Baka naman ikaw yan kung sino ka man. Baka meron kang mga bagong tapes.. :)
tito and ken had an altercation then tito removed his shirt but i didn't see what was written on his shirt...
anyway.. ortiz gave ken shamrock a beating in their recent match sa ufc 41... wawa si ken..

Hehehe... nope... I also got a copy of Amazing Videos (The Best of... something like that)... from the same guy... that's all... no nude pics/movies (if that's what you're talking about) ;D
Do you know the guy?
Cheers!!!

I think Kevin will be a contender in the following (although delayed telecast) UFC fights.He has great stamina and physique.For a debut fight in the UFC against Maurice, that was considered a good fight for me.Tito lost his debut fight if I'm not mistaken and now he is more adept on how the octagon works.Same for Kevin, I do believe that he will be one to look out for.

(since during that time he was just a college student needing a money and only martial arts he knew of was wrestling its just that he got the guts to be Tank's sparring partner
Hehehe, Yeah I know him (diba his name came from one of the X-men?)
You got what I have in mind hehehe
Hey Compaq,
Is that UFC hits 1?What are the fights on the tape?If I haven't seen them, interested in making me a copy?hehe ;D
Elf 8)
If you want a copy, I can just lend the tape to you (I only have one VHS Player). Let me know :)
... Or, we can try to look for this guy i'm talking about (kilala naman pala ni Xage), he might have new UFC/Pride/K1 fights. Sige na xage, umamin ka na, baka ikaw naman 'yon... ;D

I'll be distributing (selling) tickets next month for the next NHB ;DPare alam mo na sagot ko diyan.Reserve me 2 tickets.Hopefully it's the same price as the last time?hehe ;D ;D ;DJust inform me pag available na.Can't wait.
By the way ELf I'll be catching PRIDE live ! in the summer when I go to Japan I'm still trying to fix my sched. I'm going with a group of friends.
If the rate of trasfers keeps on going UFC is going out of business.

Wala pa bang Frank Shamrock-Tito Ortiz rematch?
Cheers!!!
Compaq
The Frank Shamrock-Tito Ortiz rematch is impossible as of this moment coz Frank Shamrock is already retired (It was after his marriage he stopped fighting) he is now focused on Hollywood related roles....
If the rate of trasfers keeps on going UFC is going out of business.
TAKEN FROM VARIOUS MMA WEBSITE:
PRIDE FC GOING OUT OF BUSINESS?!
The rumors about PRIDE having severe financial problems continue to flood the Japanese papers, even today. A creepy statement made by new PRIDE boss Nobuyuki Sakakibara was: "The company may have been driven into death by the President's death." Sakakibara admitted that Morish,ita's death has damaged the image of the company. Sakakibara hinted at big-time cuts for management and for any existing contracts with figthers. Sakakibara said that new management will be announced at the end of January. Sakakibara further illustrated on details regarding Morish,ita's stake in the PRIDE company, claiming that Morish,ita had a
50% stake in the company in terms of stock. Sakakibara claims that Morish,ita's wife and child have inherited the stock, but no one knows what will happen with it. PRIDE management already admitted that 2003 would be a tumultous year.
I think Kevin will be a contender in the following (although delayed telecast) UFC fights.He has great stamina and physique.For a debut fight in the UFC against Maurice, that was considered a good fight for me.
Same for Kevin, I do believe that he will be one to look out for.
Also i watch the tape of recent Wrestle-1 pro wrestling show in japan when i LAUGH OUT of my seat when UFC FIGHTERS turned PRO-WRESTLERS (ala shamrock and severn) Kevin Randleman and Marc Coleman {TEAM HAMMER} battle against the GIANT CONVICTS?!. (one of the convicts is a K-1 fighter Jan Nortje) the match ended when mark coleman executed a very sloppy Hurucanrana. on one of the giants.
Solar, huwag naman replay UFC this saturday...please... ;D
Wala na ngang hope yong sauron.hehe
I wonder if they have figs of UFC and Pride fighters? Sana gumawa ng kamukha talaga like those made for the star trek figs.I was so impressed with Picard and Bakula.Sobrang kamukha.Ang galing.Definitely Tank Abbots fig would be the best seller! ;D Dapat may octagon play set.hehe

Wrestling fever on Solar
SPORTING CHANCE by Joaquin M. Henson
The Philippine Star 02/26/2003
Here’s good news for wrestlemaniacs. Solar TV’s USA (Ultimate in Suspense and Action) cable channel is allocating 12 hours of airtime for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) action every week starting today in response to reverberating public clamor to bring back sports’ enduring version of the telenovela in a big way on the tube.
That’s not all. Solar’s top brass says in April, WWE’s high-rating "Smackdown" show–entertaining seven million viewers in the US alone each week–will be aired on IBC-13.
Fans hooked on ultimate fighting are also in for a treat. Solar USA is putting on four of the fightingest mixed martial arts programs five hours a week starting this Friday. "Thunderbox," a one-hour extravaganza featuring the excitement of boxing and the drama of wrestling, leads off at 8 p.m. on Fridays. This unusual competition awards points to a warrior’s grand entrance and interviewing skills plus gets fans involved via on-line voting.
Then, the weekend mayhem begins. UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) action hits the tube at 10 p.m., Saturdays. It’s wrestling, boxing, martial arts, and street-fighting rolled into one–a full-contact, no-holds-barred battleground where the ultimate objective is to force a submission. Then, at 11 p.m., also on Saturdays, Solar presents Pride Fighting Championship, the hottest combat event in Japan today. This assembles the top fighters from the martial arts disciplines of boxing, muay-thai, wrestling, judo, karate, taekwondo and kickboxing. Everyone competes under the same rules, in the same ring. The result is the most thrilling form of fighting entertainment on earth, "pride" style.
On Sundays, the two-hour K-1 program reels off at 10 p.m. K-1 is the competition that determines the best of the best in the "k" contact martial arts of karate, kickboxing, kungfu, kempo, and kapoera. This is where the world’s heavyweight martial arts specialists congregate to decide who’s who in their bloody business.
But the WWE–a blend of sports and entertainment–takes center stage in Solar USA’s new-age programming.
The WWE is the consolidated entity that Vince McMahon created in late 2001 by fusing the resources of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). "In today’s world, no one tells a story with more drama and excitement than the WWE," boasts McMahon’s drumbeaters. And they’re right. The WWE uses the telenovela approach to keep viewers tuned in week after week, day after day.
WWE programs are shown in seven continents and translated into 13 languages with a global audience of millions. In the US, it generates more than 24 million impressions each week with nine hours of original programming produced weekly, 52 weeks a year. The WWE backs up its TV shows with live events, licensed merchandise, remote broadcasts, home videos, CDs, books and publications. McMahon offers a complete multi-media package that caters to viewers of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, and persuasions.
On Solar, the one-hour WWE "Heat" is shown at 9 p.m., Wednesdays, with a 3 p.m. replay, Saturdays. The two-hour WWE "Raw" blasts off at 10 p.m, Wednesdays, with a 4 p.m. replay, Saturdays. The one-hour WWE "Velocity" cracks the tube at 9 p.m., Fridays, with a 3 p.m. replay, Sundays, and the two-hour WWE "Smackdown" checks in at 10 p.m., Fridays, with a 4 p.m. replay, Sundays.
The four shows are different from each other. "Heat" is built on the teen and young-adult market. It’s hosted by Coach and a guest superstar and broadcast live from the site of a pay-per-view event with lots of behind-the-scenes drama."Raw" is described as a "live-action telenovela (that) is the most exciting and unpredictable action-packed show on TV." Aside from matches, "Raw" features celebrity appearances, talent vignettes and interviews. Some of the "Raw" mainstays are the Undertaker and Rob Van Dam.
"Velocity" is hosted by Marc Loyd and Al Snow. It showcases "Smackdown" superstars like The Rock, Kurt Angle, Triple H, Edge, and Chris Jericho. "Velocity" puts on original matches with entertaining storylines. Finally, "Smackdown" brings the action all together on one stage. A recent US survey revealed that more teens tune in to "Smackdown" than any other program on TV.
Pro wrestling has evolved into a class of its own through the years. It isn’t categorized as a sport like boxing or taekwondo. You won’t find pro wrestling results in the sports pages. It borders on showbiz entertainment as wrestlers are often considered more actors than athletes although there’s no doubting their athleticism.
Wrestlers are often described as "cartoon characters" with personalities or images that vary, depending on the script. Hulk Hogan, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Shawn ("The Heartbreak Kid") Michaels, and The Rock are classic examples of this genre. Femme fatales make the storylines more interesting.
Detractors accuse wrestlers of faking their act. But who can deny their athleticism? In pro wrestling, the ring is to wrestlers as the silver screen is to Hollywood actors. They’re all entertainers only in pro wrestling, there is no second take–it’s live all the way–and a mistake could be costly.
Pro wrestlers work on their craft for years before they’re cleared to perform. It’s a dangerous business and if a wrestler isn’t careful, he could be badly injured. Some wrestlers have died in the squared circle–by accident, of course. Hazards of the trade, as they say.
McMahon has been on top of the pro wrestling industry for over 20 years, evolving from a small, regional live-event promoter to the king of a multi-million dollar conglomerate. The phenomenal popularity of pro wrestling all over the world is a tribute to McMahon’s creative genius and uninhibited imagination. And starting today on Solar USA, local fans will find out why the WWE is such an enduring sports entertainment act.
Solar’s commitment to sports is incredible. It signed a four-year package to air more National Basketball Association (NBA) games on a daily basis than any other country in the world. On the Solar Sports channel, there is 24-hour coverage of hoops, tennis, golf, table tennis, beach volleyball, volleyball, and lots, lots more. Solar has also bought air time on free TV to put on NBA games, blockbuster world title fights, and other big events.
Making it all possible are Solar’s key executives–chairman Wilson Tieng, president William Tieng, executive vice president Peter Chanliong, vice president for finance Ronald Tieng, vice president for network development and programming Monet Silerio and vice president for business development and operations Ralph Roy. Also credited for the Solar boom are operations manager for channel programming Chum Cornejo, Edel Pepito of Solar USA programming, Gidget Policarpio who is in charge of Solar Entertainment marketing, and publicist Arnold Arandilla.
Sana naman totoo na ito this weekend.Kung matuloy nga ito daming panoorin fight tourneys.
Man this weekend is going to be sweeeeet.
Xage Mali ka. it's 11am today yun UFC 41 pinapalabas rigayon sa wowow
hehe ;D
The mods haven't given a reason Xage.Sana makuha natin ulit kahit yong ibang posts lang.haha. ;D Tayo tayo na lang nag discuss, deleted pa.hehe.
Why was it deleted??? Was it because of Sakuraba not riding a plane? geez...
nag advert na solar.URCC 1st part will be shown march 29 8p.m. Then after that I think Pride premiere.Kung may bagong advert just update guys.Alam niyo naman solar. ;Dthats good. pero kailan premiere ng smackdown?
hey guys not sure if you know this already, but according to my friend (pamangkin siya ni Wilson Tieng of Solar), they have the rights to show all episodes of Pride... hanggang sa latest... so hindi siguro sila mag rereplay ng replay this time, unless of course natapos nila hanggang dulo... :)
Dude... Antonio "Nino" Schembri is not a lucky SOB.. hehe... hes one the the best bjj artists ... idol of even Bj penn...that was just his 3rd fight.. you should see his bjj matches.. one of the most exciting people to watch.. amazing flexibility and non stop submissions... Whats funny is he won by a strike. actually a knee to the face .. thats only his 3rd nhb fight.. you can get rickson fights in squadron .. get japan vale tudo... or get the choke video(documentary of his life and behidn the scenes of japan vale tudo early 90's pa tong mga to) to see how rickson really is ..i have a tape where rickson spars his students non stop.(around 50+rnds..). tapping each one of them in secs.. thats around over an hour grappling.. ...
Bob Sapp was knocked out by CroCop, hahah! any of you guys saw this?
Hey guys baka puede tayo magkita lahat doon para magkakilala na rin either before/after or gusto niya magsama na tayo sa isang row.Mdsaint3, Papi, dragon,compaq,xage, all other pinoydvd fight fans. what you say? ;D
saw the tape... haha..ur right dragon sleeper nino was one lucky sob.. he was getting creamed by sak .. nino couldnt take him down.. then sak tried to do his pompyang fpj move.. nino got him in a clinch then kneed him... haha..then in the post fight interview he said..."they didnt know elvis was a karate black belt"..hahah.. nino is an elvis fanatic.. with patilla and all...he still believes elvis is alive... but he really is a solid grappler... its just that sak is so hard to take down.. thats his advantage over the other good grapplers he beat.. so im sorry again dragon you are right he is one lucky sob..hehe
Fight 12
TJ Tiu, 23, 236 lbs, 6'0" Freestyle Wrestling
vs
Nico Dahainen, 23, 210 lbs, 6'0", Pekiti Tirsia
Negative comments muna regarding URCC2 baka makalimutan ko.Positive naman bukas.But there was definitely more pluses than minuses this time around.I would say the competition improved a lot.
(according to one of the Pekiti Tirsia Manila Pitbull member, Nico is only 185 lbs. and not 210 lbs.)
Not to be biased but I agree with Veynn. I was looking at Nico and comparing size with TJ.He was definitely lighter than stated.Not only that some of the fighters looks like they were fighting in different weight classes.Like the one with the kung fu style hair and another really thin guy.They were like under their weight class. If Nico was 185 then he is middleweight in UFC classification and TJ obviously heavy weight.Maybe the PTK guys can enlighten us bakit pumayag sa ganitong setup where weight, aside from skill and stamina is one of the major factors.
The officiating of I think only 2 fights were questionable wherein the referee stopped the fight too soon and let them continue.Bullcrap is what I say.The officiating could be improved.Maybe get somebody who actually has MMA experience.The referee who was also in URCC 1 is supposed to be a Judo brown belt right?PAJA does not allow brown belts to officiate in any kind of match.Only blackbelts.I could be wrong though.
About the rules of fighting gear.They had to take of Larry's rubbershoes in the ring.He was obviously not informed that it had to be barefoot.Then there was this guy who went to the ring without gloves and had to be fitted there.He lost a few seconds after.
Maybe somebody with access to the URCC rules can post it here so we all can comment if there were illegal actions in the ring.Did not see any elbows or blows to the back of the head or kicks to head when the fighter was down.
Bukas post ko din good points which definitely out weighs the negative by a big margin. Over all very good event.The fighters this time much more well versed in their styles.Cant keep what happend to Cobra out of my mind.Siya yong boxer na pinaikot a air right?Pag land niya knockout na.Tulog.Grabe galing ng kalaban.Forgot name.hehe. And like what BNG said Ifugao Wrestling rules!!! Grabe kicks!!!JKD ata yon ah.
