Any of you guys watch The Kingdom? A guy at my gym told me about it. I've downloaded the first 6 episodes but haven't watched it yet. If anyone's watched it, is it good?

There was a random article on it on Fightland

Two #1 contender fights tonight on TUF tonight. Rose Namajuanas vs Randa Markos and Carla Esparza vs Jessica Penne. Also supposedly CM Punk will be on FS1 right after the show.

I rarely post anymore, anywhere, I dunno why, but I stop by every single day and see what's up.

I'll probably start to post more again, you guys are my boys, I rarely talk MMA anywhere else, even in real life, not many of my buddies follow the sport.

Glad to see that the community is rebuilding.

 

Dec 10, 2014

this is the only place i can talk mma... I do a little in bjj, but for the most part none of my friends give a f--- about mma.

Anyway Thug Rose vs Carla for the strawweight belt

War Thug Rose!

 

Dec 11, 2014

I hope Rose wins it all!

 

Dec 11, 2014

Yeah if Randa isn't in it. GO ROSE! f--- that b---- up.

Anderson Silva: There are a lot of gays in mixed martial arts





Legendary UFC fighter Anderson Silva says he was bullied as a youth in Brazil for taking ballet, leading some to think he was gay. This revelation in a Brazilian magazine Trip led to this question and answer about gays in mixed martial arts:

Q: On prejudice towards h----------s in mixed martial arts:

A: I don’t think there’s prejudice, but there’s a lot of h----------s in mixed martial arts. There are a lot of them who haven’t yet come out.

[If they were to come out,] nowadays it’s so silly to not express your feelings. As long as you respect people’s spaces, and respect their limits. You have to live your life in peace and no one has anything to do with that.

I would train with a gay man. As long as he respected me, it’s all right. I don’t think much of it. The fact that guy is gay doesn’t mean he’s going to accost you. He can be gay, have a relationship, live among guys who aren’t gay. he can do whatever he wants with his private life.

Q: On vanity and getting picked on in the gym:

A: They tease me. Sometimes people think I’m gay. A lot of people have asked me if I’m gay. I answer, “Look, not to my knowledge. But I’m still young, it could be that in the future I’ll find out that I’m gay." I take good care of my things, I put everything in a bag, I use soap, I put on a cream after training. People think it’s capricious. To each his own. Doesn’t mean you’re more man or less man, more gay or less gay.

Silva, 39 and a former UFC champion, doesn't say anything more about gays in the sport but I loved how he allowed that he might discover another side to his sexuality as he gets older. It's not something most straight men would ever admit to.

The whole interview of Silva on Vice's Fightland site is worth reading.

Oh s---, anybody see this? The ufc is being sued for millions by fighters

Palhares just tapped Jon Fitch with a knee bar... imo he still held on a tad too long.
Fitch is still down. I think his knee might be f-----

 

Dec 16, 2014

Ya i thought Palhares held on a tad long as well. If you get bagged as many times as he did you would think he would immediately release after the tap, but he never does. Lance Palmer also looked good, another solid Team Alpha Male guy from the lower weight classes. We should see him in the UFC soon, still dont see WSOF lasting much longer, supposedly they are playing it by event.

Anyways the fighters involved in the lawsuit are Cung Le, Jon Fitch and Nate Quarry. No surprises there, expected maybe Tito and Wand as well.

Rumors about Rampage getting back with the ufc

 

Dec 21, 2014

well its official Rampage is back. but he is still signed with Bellator... THe UFC isn't stupid, they must know something we (and Scott Coker don't). Page said he "Terminated" his contract with Bellator. Not sure if thats possible.

 

Dec 21, 2014

It's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out for sure
