Team Takeover LowKick Blog #4: Cro Cop, Chute Boxe fighters in the UFC, and a few words of wisdom

cant wait for stanky leg part 2. good luck in your mma debut next year

As much as I like Shogun and knowing he will not get KO I am not counting out Rashad, I think he is going to try to wrestle shogun to a decision, I am confindent of Shogun´s BJJ but I would not bet my house on it.

Great wrestling usually beats great BJJ. That is if the wrestler is patient.

i like these blogs much more than fletchs haha but i disagree about the ufc and strikeforce HWs...i think that they are very evenly matched and with the signing of barnett it is not fair to say that the ufc is better, but strikeforce is definitely not

It's funny how this guy says that Reem could beat any UFC heavyweight even though Reem has only beaten one legitimate heavyweight

If you watch that fight again, Nate's reaction was pretty quick.... Any fighter should know that you react on instinct, not "is he pointing?" Not to mention the guy doesn't speak English. For all he knew Palhares saw a butterfly and wanted to point it out.

palhares had one arm on nates ankle, his hands werent even together so i really dont see where all the confusion is coming from

if you see the slow motion over and over and you already know whats happening. then yeah it looks like a cheap shot. however if you watch it in real time it is definatley not a cheap shot. he got out spun around and threw a punch with almost no time to register what excactly pallhares was trying to do

definately agree, when it first happened i saw palhares pointing something out but literally a split second later nate was on him - he'd already decided in his head what he was guna do before palhares waved, these guys are trained to make split second decisions cos most have learnt in the past if they take time out to really make a decision based on anything but their fighter instinct then theyll either miss an opportunity or lose out themselves.



Palhares should have known better, if he really thought nate was greased he should have flagged it at the end of the round. Nate had just easily escaped arguably Palhares' best way of getting a win so he was pumped, and found himself in a position of arguably his best chance - jumping into viscious ground and pound. And he took it, definately the right choice.



and remember Nate is the one who pulled back from throwing a second punch to Demian Maia, hes not one to be purposefully unsporting

palhares deserved it for acusing fot telling bullshit on nate

Palharas is an idiot but Nate knew exactly what he was doing.

Exactly... When played back in real time, as opposed to the slow-motion replay, there was little hesitation by Nate. While I am just as disappointed that the match didn't play out in normal fashion, Palhares' stupidity is hardly Marquardt's fault.

I would have done the same, Palhares messed up, it kind of remind me when Shinya Aoki RNC David Gardner while the idiot was screaming " Hello Japan " I mean it is a fight you moron quit playing and fight, also I would´ve done the same thing to Palhares for acussing of cheating I would have been like " here is your cheating mofo and BAM "

Your opinion of Marquart is shallow and flawed. He definitely did NOT grease and what should he have done? It's a fight... where you're supposed to FIGHT... Nate saw the opportunity and took it.. not his fault

Agreed 100%...i dont know what sport this guy watches but in MMA you dont let your guard down and Herb Dean never said stop. Nate was checked by the ref, who is the best in the world, checked by the doctor and the athletic commissioner and they all said he was clean. Palhares got what he deserved, it's a fight not a debate

Splenda rashad ha ha ha



interesting bout the Chute Boxe dudes



cant wait too see them in action



nice post man keep them coming

i like to read this guy mainly for laughs he lost all credibilty when he declared that james toney was going to ko randy in the first round

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I agree. This is conversation material at best.

Good stuff for the most part, I cant wait to see Evans sleep again. But I do disagree with your HW comment about strikeforce...Reem was KO'd by Chuck plus the guy has no wrestling and seeing as how Fedor only fights mediocre fighters now and hasnt showed much outside of his haymakers I'm going to say that I think they dont come near a belt in the UFC. The pedigree is too high and I would love to see them come test their medal so we could actually see instead of post hypothetical scenarios...the UFC HW division is hands down stronger, yeah Barnett helps if he can pass a drug test

I was a little surprised by Nate to be honest. I don't want to go as far as to say that what he did was underhanded or slimey in any way, but usually he is a the type of fighter that is aware of whats going on in a fight (like how he didn't hit Maia after he knew he already KO'ed him. At the same time its hard to fault him for what he did and impossible to know what was going through his head although he did say after the fight he saw an opportunity which doesn;t sound good to me.

pretty harsh opinions

Fedor and REEM crush all UFC heavyweights? Alright idiot.



I should have stopped reading when you said nate was dirty for taking out a guy who broke his opponents leg on purpose without reason.



Idiot.

**** iz mai shoutout brah?
