I saw it before on CBC (wasn't it a Passionate Eye one? I could be mistaken). I likely saw the same one you did, and from what I remember, it was pretty friggin' cool!

So after about a week of watching the Fight Network I've come to the conclusion that I could really do without. I'm not a huge MMA fan and there isn't enough wrestling to warrent me to subscribe.
Oh and the only puro I've seen on there was FMW at 3am. Sup wit dat!?

Yeah, it's not everything i thought it would be, either. They really pimped NOAH, but I can't find a NOAH show on any schedule. The K-1, Pride, KotC shows will do it for me, as will all of the other MMA related shows (like the all women's MMA from JAPAN!), but I can do without the boxing and the Memphis Wrestling stuff (a total of five IQ points and four whole teeth in the audience for that one, it also looks like it's taped in someone's rec room.). All in all, not bad for MMA, but too many Xience ads and not enough Puro.
PS: Paul, did you see the women's Honey Wrestling show from, like, Uzbekistan?

Putting aside the whole, "women rolling in liquids isn't wrestling, it's PRON" argument that one would expect from an upstanding owner of TWO dedicated Joshi feds, and overall GENTLEMAN like myself... I'd be more into honey wrestling then mud wrestling. I never really understood why MUD was used in those types of "turn on" situations. when so many better and potentially EDIBLE substances could cover the women. I know some of it was to keep the whole situation from becoming too xrated (as mud isn't see through) but i would have preferred that "whipped cream" wrestling occupied the slot so fondly given to "mud wrestling." Honey and butterscotch wrestling would be pretty hawt overall  But yeah, sounds like the Fight Network isn't really doing it for you guys. Also appears that Bodog might be privately funding the thing with all the exposure they get. Them and Xyience...who I'm predicting will become "Skynet" based on all the power they seem to have over MMA! Fedor will travel to the past to take them down after Bodog/Xyience decide to make him into a cyborg! |

Yo Paul, I don't know if you caught K-1 Hawaii 2005 GP on the Fight Network tonight, but the tournament final between Yousuke Fujimoto and Gary "Big Daddy" Goodridge was fawking AWESOME! The Musashi/Nordstrom superfight was a great match, too! Awesome stuff topped off by a B.J. Penn/Renzo Gracie  n event! Nice tits! ***EDIT*** I meant to mention that there will be K-1 events shown in their entirety all this week leading up to the PPV on Friday, so watch if you have the Fight Network! Also, Hong Man Choi vs Akebono was dumb, but seeing a 7'2" Korean GIANT doing Michael Jackson moves after TKOing Akebono was friggin' priceless! |

So I checked out the K-1 World GP finals last night. The event was great, similar presentation style to a Pride show (elaborate sets, lots of pageantry, over the top stuff, yannow, typical Yakuza sponsored shit.), lots of great CRITICAL!s, and one of the BEST, if not THE best colour commentary guys I've ever heard (an Aussie guy named Michael Chiavello, more metaphors than a, uh, metaphor dictionary? I swear the guy had a list next to him, or a generator on his lap-top!)! I don't know what it is, but when I really get jacked about a PPV, it almost always fails my expectations catastrophically (like the opening round of Pride's middleweight GP last year. AMAZING card on paper, fucking garbage to watch. All of my guys got WASTED... ). First match was a reserve match featuring K-1 nstay MUSASHI versus K-1 veteran and three-time K-1 world champ Peter Aerts. I love watching Musashi fight, but Aerts tried to erase Musashi's face, and succeeded with a HUGE KO over the Japanese fighter. More of a beating than a fight, but not a bad start. I was really jacked to see Jerome Le Banner put on a great show and make it to the final, and FINALY win one of these bitches. Le Banner ended up facing last year's champ, the 6'10" Dutchman Semmy Schilt, and couldn't produce enough offence to pull off a decision. Le Banner being eliminated in the first round blew, but that's how things go. ***EDIT!*** I forgot to mention Le banner's Little Mac impersonation when he jumped up in the air to puch the towering Schilt in his cadilac-sized head!Next up, Ernesto "Mr. Perfect" Hoost VS Chalid "Die Faust". Failing a Ric Flair swerve, this tournament is meant to be Hoost's last venture in pro fighting, and he'd leave with four world K-1 titles under his belt. THE BEAST is a great up and comer from Germany (he trains with Cor Hemmers boys in Holland with Golden Glory), and a win over a legend like Hoost would really catapult his career. Good fight, but Chalid looked nervous, gave the veteran too much respect, and didn't pull the trigger. Hoost won by decision after three rounds. Glaube Feitosa VS Ruslan Karaev was next up. Karaev should either get into modeling, or focus, because the guy is absolute DYNAMITE when he's on, but gets blasted into hell on an all too regular basis. Feitosa is really something to watch in the ring. He looks like a shit sandwich physically, and he even looks nervous or hurt most of the time, but the guy can BANG! If you watch a Feitosa fight, you WILL see axe kicks and the patented "BRAZILIAN KICK" (which is unfairly omitted from FPR's list of moves. what does Spike have against crotch claws and Brazilian kicks, anyway?). Well, Karaev witnessed the Brazilian Kick for a few milliseconds prior to falling asleep. Feitosa continues on. Besides Feitosa and Le Banner, I was really looking forward to Remy "the Flying Gentleman" Bonjasky VS Stefan"Blitz" Leko. Bonjaski is a really exciting striker to watch with gravity-defying moves that look like he pulled out of a Capcom vs. SNK game. Leko (whose intro movie had the name "BRITZ", lawl!) managed to kick Bonjaski in "John and the smalls" (one of many GREAT Chiavello isms), not once, but twice, delaying the fight on two occasions. Bonjaski continued, and almost KOed "Britz" late in the third, and continued on to win by decision. Bonjaski's throbbing nuts stoped him from continuing in the tourney, so Aerts was his replacement. |

Semi-final action saw Hoost vs Schilt, where again Schilt's giant stature proved too much for Hoost to produce the offence required for a victory. I think Maeda should have let Hoost use a ladder for the fight. Hoost's 99th and last fight was lost via judges decision. The fans went nuts for him, and he was very emotional at the end of the match. Cool to see a great fighter leave the game on a good note, and still competing in the top level of his sport.
Glaube Feitosa VS Peter Aerts was next. I'd really hoped to be seeing a Bonjaski/Feitosa match on the PPV, but thanks to Remy's crushed nuts, no dice. Aerts ate a Brazilian Kick, staggered, came back with "more combinations than a Chinese restaurant" and "more hooks than a pirate's convention", and FUCKED UP Feitosa. The tournament alternate Aerts CRITICAL!ed Feitosa in 1:02 of round two, sending him to the FINAL against Schilt! Craziness!
Schilt is boring as fuck to watch fight. He's a godamned giant, and with K-1's lack of takedowns, fighting Shilt must be a lot like trying to grab something off of the top of a seven foot pole surrounded by a five foot radius razor-wire fence. I've seen Schilt KOed before, and I'd hoped to see it again last night. Aerts put up the best scrap against Schilt, rocking him a few times, but Schilt just scored more offence over the course of the match. Brutal ending, with the giant, fire-plug headed cocksuker winning the tournament again.
Good show all around, with some great undercard matches. I'm going to watch the tape again, and write down all of Chiavello's metaphors, they were AWESOME!

Sounds like that last fight was more disappointing than the back of my car after Prom! OH! But, yeah. Metaphors rule.  |

Here are a few that stood out for me,
He's worn more leather than Fonzie
He's taking more shots than an alcoholic
More rights than amnesty international
More hooks than a tackle box
There are likely millions more.
