UFC Rio
Wow.
Anderson Silva is very impressive. I never thought too highly of Ushin Okami, but Silva's perceptive abilities are truly impressive. I think that aikidoists would be well served to observe Silva vs. Okami, and try to experience exactly where Silva takes himself when he gets in that state. There is a shift. There is absolutely no fear. |
Re: UFC Rio
I definitely agree. The fight is a must see. Silva's ability to completely and utterly dominate his opponents is amazing. He is simply on another level. Honesty, I gave Okami little chance coming into the fight, but I didn't think Silva was going to so thoroughly dominate him.

Re: UFC Rio
I've long since given up all hope of a Japanese fighter doing well in the UFC.
You'd think they'd be well-represented...I guess. A great fight: I agree. |
Re: UFC Rio
Silva dominated him in their first match-up also. I haven't seen the last fight but I could have predicted the outcome.

As I say: I had no hope for him, as i'm yet to see a Japanese fighter do well in the UFC. Akiyama - another highly regarded middleweight - got absolutely smashed by Belfort at the last UFC event. |
Re: UFC Rio
I've always wondered how Sakuraba would have fared if he had competed in the UFC during his prime.

I've said it before, but it would be interesting to see just how slow a fight seems to him in action.

Re: UFC Rio

I think they were wearing shorts - as opposed to white pyjamas. ;) |

Dojo Aikido Right?? So when this happened to you, what Aikido Technique did you use? What did your attacked do to you? Did he just look at you and let you get up? Did he kick you in the face? Did he stick a knee in your chest and pummel your face? Judging from your responses, you seem to be trolling for some type of debate. Who said anything about learning MMA from the TV?? I trained in BJJ and Judo. - |

I've run into this close minded attitude from time to time. Thankfully it seems to be the exception to the rule. I would suggest throwing on some shorts and a t-shirt, heading to a local high-school and putting your Aikido to the test against a decent wrestler. Maybe your end-all-be-all dojo Aikido will prevail. Or maybe reality will set in as an 17 year old rag dolls you. Who knows? |
