Also a cool video of Conor reacting through Aldo/Mendes II. His reaction to Aldo's after the bell knockdown is laughing and going "Way after the bell hahaha who gives a gently caress"

Was Frank Shamrock as badass as that video makes him look?

Frank got together with TK and Maurice Smith pretty early and they all trained together, which is why Mo wasn't completely helpless on the ground (he in fact used the "TK Guard") and Frank got competent at more or less everything. In addition Frank was a freak athlete and was one of the first guys to take conditioning really seriously. He benefitted most from timing, being competent all round during a point when most people were specialists and well-conditioned when most people... weren't. When he tried to make a comeback later it became apparent that most dudes had passed him by, and when he tried to coach fighters he failed pretty badly.

Also you have to remember that both Frank and Ken came up with the pro-wrestling mentality and 90% of anything that comes out of their mouths is trying to sell you something.

EvanSchenck posted:

I love the story of Shamrock-Zinoviev. According to Frank, when he was fighting Kevin Jackson to win the title he noticed that the floor of the octagon was a lot harder than the surfaces he'd competed on previously (i.e. Pancrase ring). He figured that he'd have a big advantage wrestling and grappling over Zinoviev, so he decided that he would just grab him, pick him up, and drop him in such a way that he would be injured.

Case in point.

The best/worst example was Invicta 9. They couldn't get Buffer, or Martinez. They ended up with...I don't know, some dude's cousin or something. He knew that he was supposed to emphasise things, but he didn't know what or why. Didn't help that it was in front of an Iowa crowd that had no idea what they were looking at. Aside from Inoue/Kowalkiewicz, that was such a dogshit card.

Oh yeah I figured as much, just when I read that in your post it's the only reference I had to what his coaching would have been like. To be fair to him guys seem to like him but I believe his coaching was mostly "let's just sit around in a circle thinking positive and write in your journals what you hope to accomplish :) "

I don't think this is new--I am almost certain I remember the UFC banning personalized walkout songs back in 06/07 as part of the make-sure-we're-not-pro-wrestling initiative. Which is a shame, because it robbed us of Joe Stevenson's Karate Kid knockoff theme song that I had on MP3 once upon a time.

Anderson had one, too. DMX was a lot better.

The way they've done it you can still have a personalized intro, it's the song itself they care about. Rampage had a similar thing going on, I believe.

UFC should have a rule where if you beat a champion bad enough you get to steal his personalized walkout song and they have to earn it back.

And Bader vs Shad was previously announced as a 5 round card on a FS1 show which seemed appropriate. I now noticed that new UFC article says it's going to be on UFC 192 PPV. So the question becomes is how great of a PPV does UFC need to put together where you just gloss over Ryan Bader vs Rashad Evans for 15 minutes?

It was said in the linked article, actually, but with no supporting information so it came across as the writer idly speculating.

Personally if I had to guess, since Brown is scheduled to be on the televised prelims, it has something to do with licensing and specifically whatever the current relationship is between the FOX media conglomerate and whoever owns the relevant record label, but nobody has any actual idea except whoever's making those decisions, and they aren't talking at the moment.

EDIT:

Case in point: that was also on the televised prelims, and at least part of the licensing for Dethklok songs airing on television is tied up with Cartoon Network, who are part of Turner.
