^^ Can't wait to see those pics.
And Eddie Alvarez with a successful title defense last night by UD. His footwork and boxing is top notch.

i never really noticed before but eddie uses that lunging right hand a lot. looked weird. fight was ok. eddie should've used more legkicks like he did against huerta. those were brutal.

I haven't seen a lot of Hawn's fights (just the last 2 Bellator ones) and honestly I wasn't that impressed. Thank goodness he got that late takedown to steal the 3rd and save me on my +180 bet I had on him.Originally Posted by Burn916
Good for Saunders...dude has lots of talent, just needs to put it together consistently.
I like what I've seen from Rick Hawn so far. Sick, sick judo...reminds me of Akiyama, kinda (minus the Sexyama aspect).
ps if you guys haven't taken a look already, please check out the NT Japan relief thread. We are very, very close to $7k in donations, a goal that, if reached, will result in Meth and Co putting up $13k of NT ad revenue to make our total contribution $20,000. Everything helps! Enjoy the weekend, fellas.
Can someone with a bit more expertise school me (someone who has ZERO technical knowlege) on judo? Is judo traditionally more "trip" heavy or "throw" heavy? I didn't really see Hawn attempt that many throws. It looks like he tried to go for more trips. As an uneducated fan, I'm always extra
Thanks in advance.

I also have zero technical knowledge about judo, but here's some observations that I've made. Someone that seems to use judo throws and trips very well is Jon Jones (duh). A lot of the times he'll do it when his opponents are shooting and he'll get double underhooks real quick and use their momentum against them to end up on top, and usually in side control. That usually ends up with him raining down elbows and destroying the other fighter.Originally Posted by Mojodmonky1

I didn't really see Hawn attempt that many throws. It looks like he tried to go for more trips. As an uneducated fan, I'm always extrawhen I see a judoka throw a dude through the air and onto a mat, but sometimes I don't even know what to be looking for, or what type of setups there are to go for throws. I mean... I can't imagine that a lot of MMA fighters train much judo, if at all. What throws might be available for a high level judok against an unsuspecting opponent? From what position is it most common to setup throws? Do you want to have double underhooks? over/under? I cant imagine there are a ton of throws available from double overhooks?
Just my two cents

Judo is greco with a gi. Best way to explain it IMO. I mean you can still use trips and shoots in judo but the main way to win a match is throwing your opponent right on his back.

I've been Playing Judo for a few months now, and I would say it's more throw heavy. It's really hard to know how to use trips unless you are much more experienced. In class, I get thrown down a majority of the time with throws, rather than trips. I would say trips are usually used to set up the throw by getting you a bit off balanced. And its amazing for MMA fighters to pull off a judo throw in a MMA match b/c they aren't wearing Gi's.

i too will be at the event. have no idea where my seats are though since they were comp tix from Showtime. Hopefully the Showtime rep didnt screw me and put me up in the rafters. Hopefully you see a fat asian dude in a korean zombie shirt sitting cageside (doubtful, but i can dream).
WAR fancypants. I hope he takes Aoki out to the woodshed.

Sick fights tomorrow. �Have fun at the event, Mojo.
Dude I'm sorry
...I steered you wrong with that Villante bet. Did you see his fight against LeVon Maynard, though? �Here's your judo:
Bonus:
This thread isn't sexy enough right now...here's a clip of Akiyama's judo against Manhoef. Peep 1:55 and the finish. Sure, [MikeGoldberg] technical in his fighting, Melvin is not [/MikeGoldberg], but it's glorious nonetheless

^ hahahaha all good. i can only blame myself for that Villante play.
Damn I love rewatching that fight with Manhoef. Manhoef is probably the last dude I'd ever wanna see walking down a dark alley.

I always wonder how this dude cuts to MW. Dude looks like a MONSTER. Check out his fight with Cyborg in Cage Rage if you haven't yet. Vicious.

I got Nick winning by submission. I also predict that Semtex will knock Diaz down at least once, and that Diaz will bleed at some point during the fight.
Semtex at +185 is pretty damn good, but I'll never bet against a Diaz.
