How did you not give Tito the 2nd Round?Takedowns are the most difficult area for a judge to score. In my opinion, what happens after the takedown should play a major role in how it's scored. For example, if a fighter takes his opponent down, does not land any strikes or work for a submission, then allows him to get back to his feet or is swept within a minute, I feel like it should be a negative scoring item. 99.9% of takedowns do not hurt the guy who lands on his back. It's all abou...

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 09:25:01 -0500

Forrest Griffin was pretty grumpy the first time he had to answer questions about his crazy behavior following his UFC 101 loss to Anderson Silva.

As time has gone along, he came to grips with his postfight antics and addressed it at length last Wednesday before UFC 106. Any lingering questions about his mental state were answered in his win over Tito Ortiz. It was...

Anderson Silva Silverstar Thermal

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 07:00:31 -0500

It’s very unfortunate that The Spider is hurt right now, as there is finally an opponent for him at 185 lbs. With Vitor Belfort looking up the barrel at him, Silva just had elbow surgery and will be out until early 2010. That didn’t stop him from wearing this awesome pink sweater while he was cornering his buddy Lyoto Machida at UFC 104. Uhhh..yea. That actually happened. Anderson should instead take a look at some of the Silverstar gear that bears his name, like this thermal. (Segue is awesome.) Another awesome Silverstar shirt. It’s similar to his UFC 101 walk-out, but doesn’t have the blue foil lettering. It’s a little less blingy, but it is long sleeve. That means you can wear it in the winter. It’s on MMA Warehouse for 59.99. For more awesome Anderson Silva gear, check out The 3rd String Store.
