the sakuraba fight was a great example of how the refs should let the professional fighters decide when the fight is over…unlike the rothwell fight…please retire now saku
Not until he fights Frank Shamrock. I want to see those two fight.
Im confused, why do you say “please retire now saku” if he won?
I did not see the fight, did he get injured or something?
Saku is always injured
And he probably would like to see Saku go out on a high note, rather than picking himself up off the mat, bloddy and concussed to the point of not knowing what day it is, like so many fighters seem to do these days…
how about promise overeem fedor, and even if he loses a fight …. then he wont have to only fight cans (relatively speak – no disrespect to thompson)
Zaromskis beat someone with another head kick? Who would of thought?
He is officially ‘Lil CroCop!
Just finished watching.Pretty entertaining card as always at dream.There pretty funny over there,it’s definatly much more of a show rather then the americanized sporting event.And i’m glad they went to a cage.(rings for boxing,wrestling,kickboxing ect. cage for MMA IMO)
overeem keeps fighting where roids arn’t tested but he’s too injured to fight in the US where we test for roids.
Overeem to reporters after the DREAM.12 event is quoted
Overeem has never tested positive for “juicing” here in the states or anywhere for that matter, I understand the displeasure with Overeem but honestly there is nothing we can do as fans, except hope that He fights for StrikeForce in the states in 2010
Anywhere I can watch these fights?
I really wanted to see the Alvarez fight.
I also wanted to see Zaromskis’ KO
I can post them in the forums section if you would like, well “Whitemare”s fight and Saku, Alvarez, Overeem, give me a few minutes and they will be posted remember its the debut of the WhiteCage, I watched them live but I will post them
Okay cool man
Thanks FR
The point has been made and beaten to death on the whole Overeem issue.
Yes its annoying, and yes a somewhat reasonable case can be made in his defense, but the truth is our sport is blowing up at such an alarming rate that there are so many other exciting things going on in every wegithclass that Overeem just isn’t THAT big a factor, regardless of if and when he fights, and where, and who…
