Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 22, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2017 Terry Etim involved in some kind of road incident: Â http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/liverpool-martial-arts-fighter-seriously-12643529 Â doesn't sound good.

jimufctna24 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Grim stuff.  Sounds like he was desperately trying to kill himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted February 24, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2017 I was coming in here to post about that. Here's an eye witness account...  Hairdresser Andrea McCullough said: “It was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen.  “His friends were running after him and trying to restrain him on the floor but he managed to break free and was running in and around all the cars.  “He wasn’t trying to harm anybody but himself. He was covered from head to toe in blood.  Unconfirmed reports said he had been travelling in a car with some friends but jumped out of the car, a Ford Focus, and ran towards oncoming traffic. He must have some serious mental issues. Poor bloke. Always liked Etim. Seen him fight a few times live at different UFCs. His quick submission at UFC 138 over Edward Faaloloto being the highlight. It was the main card opener and I remember the place came unglued when it ended so fast. Live it was up there with the loudest crowd reactions I've ever heard. He always seemed a good guy to me.  You don't want to jump to conclusions but when you hear a story like that you think have concussions played a part here? He's been fighting a good few years, sparring etc. And he was on the wrong end of one of the most brutal one shot KOs ever in the Barboza fight.  Hopefully he'll pull through this and get some help.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 25, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 25, 2017 Thought it was typical Chael bollocks at first when i read quotes but has anyone heard his recent podcast where he talks about Tito verbally tapping in his recent fight? It might be bollocks, but Chael cuts one of his best promo's in years talking about it, it doesn't come with that cliche type delivery that we've become used to either, he comes off as a little angry about it. Â Try tracking down the actual interview, the written quotes dont really do it justice. Â Side note but Chael's actual podcast has improved a lot. He's got a co-host now and he's toned back the schtick, a much better listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimufctna24 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Maybe it's because Chael has cried wolf too often, or maybe it's because I am cynical so and so, but I perceived it as being standard Sonnen. There was still a lot of grandstanding in there. Like calling Tito the "worst fighter in the sport" He was more aggressive than usual, but he used to have a tone when slagging off Fedor's run in Pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members herbie747 Posted February 25, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 25, 2017 I don't believe a single word that comes out of Chaels mouth. He's a parody of himself now - desperate for attention. Â Chael, Hogan, Russo, and Piper - the 4 biggest liars in wrestling & MMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 25, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 25, 2017 Yeh, its probably complete bollocks but it was the first time in a while where ive actually been intrigued by what Chael was saying, felt like there was a little more weight behind it than his usual rubbish.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted February 26, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 26, 2017 Nothing official yet but it's looking like these two fights are being lined up...  Eddie Alvarez vs Michael Chiesa at UFC 210 - April in Buffalo, NY Karolina Kowalkiewicz vs Claudia Gadelha at UFC 212 - June in Brazil  Fucking love the sound of both fights. I hope they both happen. Nice to see Chiesa get a big name as well. He's been having undercard corkers for years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
METAL ON METAL Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Looks like they're also putting together Gustafsson vs. Glover Teixeira as the main event for their return to Sweden in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted February 26, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 26, 2017 They've tried to book that one a few times now and it's fallen through. Hope it happens this time. I forgot Gus existed, to be honest. Seems like forever since he last fought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted February 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2017 You know how we were all not feeling Cub Swanson vs Artem Lobov as the main event of UFC Nashville? Looks like the UFC agreed. Demian Maia vs Jorge Masvidal is in the works as the new headliner according to Bloody Elbow and various other sites. Love that fight and it's a much much better fit as main event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2017 Yep tremendous main event, Swanson/Lobov is a decent card on the main show, i still feel like its an odd step back for Swanson though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted February 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2017 Yeah, should've been Swanson vs Yair Rodriguez or Korean Zombie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2017 Its weird because it almost feels like Doo Hoo Choi was the real winner of the Swanson/Choi fight, he seems to be getting lined up for the bigger fight next. Felt the same after the famous Leonard Garcia/Korean Zombie fight (1st one), i think people forget that The Zombie actually lost that fight.

METAL ON METAL Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 In fairness, I think everyone agreed at the time that Korean Zombie really won that fight and that the judges got it terribly wrong - I remember a lot of people kicking off about it.
