The MMA General News & Events Thread

Recommended Posts

Are people actually aware that as well as the forum site, Sherdog.net, there's the actual Sherdog website, Sherdog.com, which features news articles, opinion blogs, video interviews with fighters and pretty much a new podcast every other day?I sometimes get the feeling that people dismiss Sherdog as a forum site, completely missing the actual site itself.

I am actually put off the Sherdog site because of how bad the forum is. I know the site itself is pretty decent but I prefer Junkie's setup for news articles and the like.

I had the Sherdog forums in my RSS feeds for all of about 3 hours before I removed it. Junkie & MMA Torch are my sites of choice, mainly because they have apps. MMA Weekly is quite a good site as well.

It gets a lot of shit, but I visit mmabay.co.uk daily.I do read Sherdog and I did go on MMAPlayground until my fight camp got banned.Underground has a decent forum, only place I post these days is here though.

Sorry for the Double post.How did you manage that?

Just days after announcing that Finland lightweight Niko Puhakka would be fighting Artur Sowinski for the vacant lightweight title, Polish organisation KSW has pulled him from the bout. The move was made after fan outcry over Puhakka

The leader of my camp who I met from supplying me MMA DVD's online got in some arguments with the mods on there. So our entire fight camp got banned, I have tried signing up since but my IP Address is on there hitlist, sucks because it was a good site to do picks.

I've noticed that this has dragged up the whole racist tattoo carry-on again though, mainly with people pointing out that Puhakka's tattoos are deemed offensive, and rightly so, but that someone like Cain Velasquez can openly display tattoos like his "brown pride" one;cainbp.jpgImagine the furore if a fighter of European descent were to have "white pride" tattooed across his chest? Double standards?

Fucking hell. "How come there's no MOWO awards?"

Again, almost worthy of a VuVu, my self-publishing friend. Keep trying ;)
Christ you're tiresome. Which is it - complete idiot, or outright trolling? Because as I'm sure we all know, there's hardly a weight of horrible history behind the phrase BROWN PRIDE.

Well, the "brown pride" tattoo has been linked to Mexican drug cartels & gangsters, hasn't it? Just because the tattoo doesn't have the race implications that the Finnish lads does doesn't mean it's not offensive to some.Being as you're now an ~MMA fan~ surely you'll know that the discussions regarding Velasquez tattoo have been going on for ages now? As men much more respected than myself have said in the past, if you don't want to discuss the matter, don't hit the reply button.

Cracking, coming from the poster who simply must reply to everything with nothing of value, ever.
