  1. This is what is so intriguing about Lelo. He is so far applying his capoeira based fighting style very successfully to mma, something previously unheard of in the long history of vale tudo fighting in Brazil. The fight community is paying close attention to to see how he fairs against world class comp in Bellator. If you look at the clip I posted at the top of the page, it sure is exciting!
  2. Oh, and the Aussie card winds up airing on the 14th here in Beautiful BC because of the massive time difference so we wind up with free shows on Sporstnet on back-to-back nights. The US TUF finale looks to be a very weak card, actually, but hey, it's a free night of fights eh. Aussie card is very interesting with a couple of very ppv worthy matchups.
  3. Yes and the Aussie TUF finale DEC 14 has Hector Lombard vs Rousimar 'Paul Harris' Palhares as well as a fight between two of the top 145ers in Hacran Dias vs Chad Mendes,.who also come from the two top camps in the world for the lighter weight classes, Nova Uniao and Alpha Male respectively. These guys have two losses between them and this fight is rumored to be on the UNDERCARD??!! God, i hope they find a way to get this fight on the main card. Hector Lombard vs Pall Harris of course will be a crazy fight. Who doesn't love Paul Harris, eh. Lombard is a wild man, an Cuban Olympian in judo with big punching power. It could be fight of the year.
  4. Jose `Pele`Landi Jons vs Jorge Patino `Macaco`
  5. Wanderlei Silva vs Artur Mariano http://youtu.be/ne9zMdF3AIo
  6. By the way, how many here are fans of our local capoeira sensation Marcus 'Lelo' Aurelio? He recently debuted with Bellator, lost a split decision after dominating the first round and then gassing badly. I have high hopes for him. This fight was here in Vancouver!
  7. I can relate brotha. I have been following the career of Anderson Silva since 2001.I went through the frustration of him signing to fight Carlos Newton back at UFC 34 (his teammate Pele also was signed to rematch Dave Menne at the ill-fated UFC 33) only to see his management walk away from the deal and sign both guys with Pride where Anderson proceeded to waste the best years of his career virtually never fighting. When UFC signed him again in 2006 after he had left Chute Boxe and to see him light up Chris Leben like that on national television, especially after some classic Leben crap-talk, well, it was pretty damned exciting!
  8. I'm surprised he isn't putting up numbers in the AHL.
