Alright Beebs, honestly, man, I'm sorry for being a dick; but is there anyway at all you could condense all this fighting bullshit into one Super Thread or something? Like, (again, sorry for sounding like a cock), 90% of the people on this messageboard couldn't give a dick-less about this shit, so it's really annoying trying to sift through these daily threads. I hope you'll consider my request. I'm very serious about this.

Beebs · 04-20-2005, 11:17 PM

Noted, but since this is a contest, it would be hard to fit into an existing thread.

Also, you made two seperate "I'm on tilt" threads.

You're right. I did. I never claimed to be perfect though. Moreover:

A.) I was on tilt. Crazy things are done when people go on tilt.

B.) Both threads were made in the Jibberish forum, which is the home for chaos and disorganization; so I really don't feel too bad about it.

I dunno. I'm fine w/ you liking the fighting stuff and posting it on here and shit; it'd just be nice if it could try to be condensed down as much as possible, that's all. (And that's just my opinion).

Beebs · 04-20-2005, 11:21 PM

I'll try.

Repugnant Abomination · 04-21-2005, 12:14 AM

I'll Take...

Randleman
Arona
Vitor
Henderson
Sakuraba
Jackson
Silva

These are the smart bets.

Ironic Mustache · 04-21-2005, 01:15 PM

Everyone picked Vitor, but lets not forget that Vitor sucks sometimes and could easily get KO'd by one of those friggin' gigantic Overeem flying knees. I wouldn't bet on that fight at all though.

Repugnant Abomination · 04-21-2005, 01:20 PM

I'm willing to bet the farm Vitor takes Overeem down and GnP's his way to a decision.

Ironic Mustache · 04-21-2005, 01:50 PM

You'll be buying the farm in one month's time, of course you're willing to risk it all.

Orgazmo · 04-21-2005, 02:33 PM

Hmm, let me check to see what the official fight results are going to be...

Yep, Vitor wins.

bloodyfart · 04-21-2005, 02:57 PM

vitor sucks. he has all the components of a great fighter, but mentally he is too weak to win a big fight. he has dominated almost all of his opponents in the first round, then if he cant knock them out, he turns into a scared fighter.

btw, overeem is on par with him on the ground. a teammate of mine fought overreem at the trials for the world championship of sud grappling, and overeem tooled him. and my teammate is no chump. i have seen him run through some of the big name guys in the ufc

Repugnant Abomination · 04-21-2005, 03:36 PM

Blah blah blah I'm still picking Vitor.

bloodyfart · 04-21-2005, 03:47 PM

you sir, are picking a loser.

my picks= randleman, lister, igor, overreem, henderson, sak, jackson, silva

must i remind you troglodytes that vitor got beat silly by lidell, and before lidells lucky punch to beat overreem, lidell was getting a beat down on the feet? if vitor cant win on the ground or on the feet, then how can he win?

Ironic Mustache · 04-21-2005, 03:50 PM

I was thinking that exact same thing about the liddel fight.

Repugnant Abomination · 04-21-2005, 03:51 PM

You're picking Lister of Arona? Interesting. What's your logic behind this.

bloodyfart · 04-21-2005, 03:53 PM

lister is a hometown hero (so cal). thats all there is. i more care about their superfight at the adcc than their pride fight.

Repugnant Abomination · 04-21-2005, 03:54 PM

This isnt who you want to win this is who you think is going to win. I'm picking Arona because I think he's better on the ground and hungry for redemption. He still thinks his loss to Rampage was BS cause of the accidental head butt, and him and Silva have been talking mad shit to eachther for a while now.

As for the entire thing I think Igor has a good chance of taking it. Even if he doesn't I hope him and Silva get a chance to go at it...Goddamn that would be a sweet fight.

Yea, but if you notice, you can't count to 8.

lister is no slouch on the ground. he was last years adcc absolute champ. arona and he are on par, and i would actually give the edge to lister cause of his sick footlocks.

Aren't the UFC championships here in vegas?

Ironic Mustache · 04-21-2005, 05:08 PM

Sometimes, but this is pride fighting. It's in Japan.

You should consider picking him in the first round then.
