Strikeforce Dallas June 18th

[Luke]

Well I think that really is the case. No other sports make their rankings on who they think is the best. How are boxings rankings compiled Luke? If my top 10 were based on speculation and all that shit, mine would be WAY different.

Lol boxing rankings are done by the WBC, IBF ,WBA , and WBO and the only thing I do know they are way fucked up. If you mean on websites like ESPN they are done by Dan Rafael and I have no idea what he goes by .I only pay attention to P4P ranking in boxing

[Luke]

I just asked you a question and was wondering about your reasoning.

Isn't that what this "forum" shit is about? I didn't say you "failed."

Overeem K-1 champ, JDS not

[SPX]

Overeem K-1 champ, JDS not

"K-1 Level striking" is overrated.

Mirko is a "K-1 Level striker."

Pat Barry has at least won some fights in K-1 as well, even if he's lost several, too.

[Luke]

In other news:

I think either Barnett or Bigfoot wins this whole fucking tournament.

I dont

[SPX]

Well, you're allowed to disagree.

We'll see.

I'd bet you $20, though.

[poopoo333]

Well I'm just to assume you're fucking around and don't actually think that would mean Danny Downes is the best lightweight fighter in the world.

I think either Barnett or Bigfoot wins this whole fucking tournament.

I wouldn't think he was the best LW fighter in the world. But that doesn't mean he shouldn't be ranked #1, he beat the #1 fighter. It's not like that #1 ranking would last long anyways unless he really was some kind of nerdy phenom.

Agreed. But Ubereem=K-1 champ, Mirko/Pat Barry=they did some kickboxing in K1. But imo and from what I have seen, K1 striking doesn't mean it will transfer well into MMA. Scott Lighty was a K1 level striker and got out struck like crazy by Lorenz Larkin

You basically just made no sense at all .You just compared Pat Barry's striking who's 3-5 in K-1 fights to Overeem whos the K-1 champ , that's like comparing Kyle Maynard to Gray Maynard ............they are both MMA fighters

K-1 fighters are not overated , if they were every MMA fighter getting paid 20k a fight would be over there trying to collect the 400k first prize .

Well I guess that demonstrates that rankings are bullshit when it comes to gauging actual true ability.

Some would say that Ubereem had a relatively easy path to the top. . .

You don't think I made sense?

I've devastated by that.

[Luke]

I've devastated by that.

Lol I'm sure you are ...............BOL!!!!!!!!!

[SPX]

BOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Luke]

Well, you're allowed to disagree.

We'll see.

I'd bet you $20, though.

I can still get Overeem at +140 so that would be kind of a silly bet on my part ,plus I'm not super confident in him just less confident in Barnett or Big head

[poopoo333]

Ok, I was bored and wanted to kill some time, and it worked. Thanks guys.

Well for your $20 you also get Kharitanov.

You're a dick.

[poopoo333]

I think we will definitely see Barnett in the finals though assuming he doesn't fail a drug test/can't get licensed/whatever bullshit goes on with him. I am really looking forward to Bigfoot/Ubereem though. They better not wait until 2012 for that shit.

[poopoo333]

You're a dick.

[SPX]

I was listening to Beatdown After the Bell on Sherdog today and they were lamenting the disorganization of the tournament. In fact, they expressed concerns that it would even be finished. I hope those concerns are unfounded.

[SPX]

The actions of a desperate man. . .

[Luke]

^^^^^wonder if Werdum realizes how big of a douche he looked like............doesnt he know BJJ doesnt work anyway?
