Lights Out Radio Presented by MMAForReal.com - Episode 218: UFC 115 Review

I’m mad about Thiago and Neil is mega-mad about Barry.

What do you figure the odds are Forrest will get another Fitch rant in?

Is that a work like Barry/CroCop?

This song sucks!

Who’s mad?

I make that when the fiscal year is 3/4 of the way done!!!

I’m not positive but I think that may have been more than one word.

Damn jobber

Good conversation topic – Can someone who doesn’t have that “killer instinct” be a good fighter? Pat Barry repeatedly stated that he lacks that instinct in the lead up to this fight. Then, each time he knocked CroCop down, he didn’t go in for the kill.

I just got back a moment ago from the movie theatre, where I saw the pay per view and in various ways I enjoyed it.

I have no idea why Neil would be mad at Pat Berry, as I thought that CRO COP was the one who was his boy. I thought he’d be on Cloud 9 that Mirko got a win, especially in such a hilarious fashion.

As for the main event, it was entertaining for the amount of time it lasted. Of course, everyone in the crowd marked out for the ending and Chuck getting merc’ed so badly, and also for Rich winning despite a broken arm.

I’ll talk about the night and the other fights in separate posts. It won’t be one epic post like it was the last time.

got bent like when Gonzaga bent CroCops leg. Right?

Liddell is a 40 year old man with a mohawk haircut. Something tells me he doesn’t approach issues the same way as you and me.

Mohawk = weird haircut
Is that far fetched?

liddel looked good, but the chin is gone. That was a great punch but I don’t think the punch was dynamite.

at the random S-bomb dropped by Neil… and how Bishop and Forrest ignored it, as if S-bombs are dropped all the time on there. I definitely wasn’t offended, as I’m no choirboy, but it just amused me.

Liddell looked the same as always for a technical standpoint. He had the same lack of defense as always.

So, for the second time I went to a movie theatre to watch a UFC pay per view. Before I get to that, though, I’ll tell a factoid that I know will cause some laughter. I wore a shirt to the show that Bishop would classify as "high comedy." Last August I got a pair of Affliction shirts. I know, I know, but I’m not a "bro", I swear. I got one shirt for regular price then they had a deal where you could get a certain type of Affliction shirt for only ten dollars more if you buy the first shirt at regular price. The regular shirt I got was a Fedor one; no, I’m not a nuthugger fan of his! As you might have guessed already, the shirts they want to get rid of so badly were of Affliction Trilogy. So yes, tonight I wore a Fedor vs. Barnett shirt for a show that never happened to see the pay per view tonight. Hey, it’s better than having a Tim Sylvia or a Sokoudjou Affliction shirt, I say.

Anyway, it was a fun time watching it on a giant screen again. The picture was great and there were no production snafu’s. The crowd was smaller than when I saw UFC 111 at the same location, even with lower ticket prices. But, the crowd enjoyed the show and I have no complaints with them. I managed to enjoy the event myself, despite one TRBL match and some dull moments in some other bouts.

it takes Neil a long time to drive down to Indy because he drives an old woman.

Great stuff

Could Liddel knock out Jenna Jameson? Tito couldn’t

Pat Barry said in several interviews that in his past fights, he never went in for the kill when he knew he hurt his opponents because he lacks that killer instinct. He said he’s not some sort of animal.

uh…..HERE!!!!!

Cro Cop, Submission-3 is still pretty hilarious to me. Like I said a few minutes ago, Barry seemed more interested in continuing his bromance with Cro Cop than win the match. Despite how odd the match ended up being, I enjoyed it, and so did the crowd, believe it or not.

They marked out for Mirko laying it on at the very end and then getting that “submission”, which was more like Barry just giving it up and waved the white flag as it didn’t look like it was hooked in with any sort of tightness. And of course the post-fight interview got many laughs, and his campaigning for Submission of the Night actually worked. I think they gave it to him just for how preposterous it was. I mean, in MMA if you exclude injury submissions or tapout due to strikes, then that was the SECOND time he has ever won via that method in his entire career.

Someone doesn’t like you questioning his skill:

that was a very gay sound bite.

Forget that!!!

Watch the language!!!
God Damn mark!!!

Forrest just got pistol whipped PG-13 style!!!

Did someone just throw a pee ballon at Matt to set him off on that?

To change the subject and to possibly cool down ANGRY cursing Matt Bishop, before they started showing the pay per view on the big screen, it was announced that the next time you can see UFC in that way would be UFC 118. Yes, the show in Boston. It means that you can see both Gray Maynard AND Randy Couture lose in that format… oh wait, uh, I mean Gray and Randy win, right Matt? : )

Listen to the man go!!! He’s a hungry dog that is takeing a HUGE chomp out of Forrests ass!

Dropping truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh no he didn’t! He just brought out the Forrest’s bad attitude card!

“Make like a tree and leaf!”

I’m imagining a red faced Matt with veins popping out about to throw down.

Who gives a fuck!!!

Uh oh… Everyone’s ganging up on Forrest.

Sounds like Forrest was in an episode of Back to the Future.

Arianny on a giant screen and clear image was a glorious sight. Us people in the theatre got a special message from her where she thanked everyone for being there and she told us you could get all crazy there. Of course, her outfit showed off a nice amount of cleavage and some dude commented, “I like her boobies!” I swear to God, someone said that. Sure, we all agree with that opinion, but what a statement to blurt out.

Wow, Matt you got a big old mouthful of Danish balls.

Paulo Thiago is no joke! I missed the entire fight tonight but he’s still no joke.

how the hell do you get mount postion 4-6 times and not finish? Drop him and let Strikeforce feed him to Brett Rogers. Two mins of furry and a sad finish. I’m told the same can be said about Big Al.

Oh, I could say a whole lot about this crapfest. I can suddenly understand why this was moved from the Spike broadcast. Imagine how this Fat Guys Getting Tired match would have done there. Talk about NO BUYS, and in fact, negative buys.

The bout was so bad that it ended up being hilarious, those two goofs sucking wind after one round. A tremendously baked Rogan and a more sober Goldberg totally ripping the match apart and proclaiming that a third round would be quite unfortunate-and boy were they ever right. Even the crowd I was with at the theatre were laughing at how rancid the match was and how laughable their cardio was.

Oh well, at least Gilbert came out to “Let Me Clear My Throat” and everyone laughed in a befuddled way when the announcers said that Yvel has a tattoo that says, “Real men don’t eat honey; they ingest bees”. Swear to God, that’s what was said. I now want to read a philosophical book from Gilbert Yvel!

That was a pretty entertaining opener, despite some bad reffing (although I can’t wait to see the (typical) real bad stoppage from that idiot Yves Lavigne on the Spike broadcast, which I taped). If Rory wouldn’t have gassed out… I thought the stoppage was bad as doing it at that point wasn’t needed. It’s not like he was laid out and it obviously needed to be stopped at that point. Doing it after one lukewarm punch to the face was pretty weaksauce.

Speaking of bad reffing, the Pyle vs. Lennox ending, where Pyle had to stick his hands out and inform the idiot local ref that hey, Lennox was Triangle Choked until he blacked out… that was laughable too.

Man, Rogan was pretty bad tonight. If you didn’t hear the commentary, trust me it wasn’t good. He screwed up quite a few times, and even messed up something as easy as Cro Cop’s catchphrase about his right and left legs. C’mon now! He looked like he was so stoned he was baked. I wondered where he was before the show. Then, I heard Rory after the fight state to the world that his after-party would be at a location named “The Cannabis Lounge”, and I was like, “Oh, THAT is where Joe has been the entire day.” Lord knows you know that he’s back there toking a bowl and enjoying the party with MacDonald.

Is this episode a troll competition?

Matt’s adoration of Kampmann, Forrest’s love of Evan Dunham and Neil’s blind faith in Sherk?

What the hell?

Good show fellas but Matt wins the troll competition.

I’ll close out my night here by mentioning something from last night.

Sorry EVeezy, but here’s a pro pertaining to pro wrestling. Friday night, before I went to a club in downtown Orlando and had my fair share of alcoholic beverages there, I went to an FCW show in Orlando. I’ve been to a few before, but this one was pretty bad overall. However, some noteworthy things happened, besides the fact that I got to hang out with a certain group of people for the first time in a few months.

Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and his son Richie were both there signing autographs. I know you old-school wrestling fans will be jealous of that fact. Yes, Richie is a pro wrestler himself and yes, he was the baby that Ricky carried out for some big matches in the late 80’s.

Kaval (i.e. Senshi, Low-Ki) wrestled against "Smackdown Superstar" Tyler Reks and that was by far the best match on the card.

They had an FCW magazine and in it, they had a picture of Tom Lawlor posing next to a random dude. They ID’ed him as "UFC fighter". In the future they can’t do that, as apparently "UFC" is banned from the WWE. Why, I don’t know, but then again I don’t know why what happened with "Daniel Bryan" happened, but that’s a whole nother can of worms that I better not open.

Oh, and King Mo was there and saved someone from a postmatch attack… oh wait a minute, that was Titus O’Neil, nevermind.

Podcast will be up shortly!

And everybody was mad. I don’t see how this can’t be rated five-stars in the iTunes store!
