    No sillygoose, Fitch is the inspired fighter.

    The chopping of palm trees with one’s shins is from 80s megastar inspirer Jean Claude Van Damme’s megahit cinema classic, Kickboxer.

    I don’t have that scene handy, but this other clip may jog a few memories …

    You know, I didn’t think about that scene at all… but only because Thai boxers and such have been known for kicking banana trees to harden their shins for ages, so I just didn’t pull that from a movie.

    Not even with the “80s action martial arts megastar” hint?

    Are you getting enough sleep lately Captain?

    No, but that’s not different than normal. I really thought you were talking about the guy in the video, and I was confused. –and hurt. And I don’t know why.

    But also, I don’t have a clue who these fighters are, so that doesn’t help either. In fact, why am I reading this thread at all?

    I hear you. From where you sit maybe Fitch was somehow a huge action star in the eyes of NZers the way Bill Hicks became a huge comic to Brit audiences but the majority of Americans never heard of him.

    some guys hit that “bi-curious phase” later than others.

    The good old front kick continues to cause head aches for Extreme Couture fighters. First Vitor, then Randy himself, and now Steve Lopez get taken out by the oldest trick in the kick book.

    I don’t know if any of you chaps have HDNet but a lot of their features are posted online and I always like seeing these ones where they take a look into different gyms.

    Fun technical fights on the FB card for 130.

    Even though I like Rampage and Hamill I’m finding it hard to get too excited for this main event but I’m looking forward to seeing Stann go again after he dealt to Chris Leben so nicely last time out, and I always enjoy Big Mullet Roy Nelson too. I haveno idea if he can beat Mir, but there’s something about a big rolly guy like Nelson who also has some good technique that still appeals to me.

    Yeah, not too exciting, really, but the prelims were good, and Stann looked fantastic.

    I love watching Big Country. He makes me laugh, and that goes a long way. And Rampage? He cracks me up, making it pretty easy to root for him. It’s been good so far!

    you just can’t help but enjoy “big country” and his magnificent physique. to be able to go 3 rounds with frank mir like that is impressive. i certainly wouldn’t want to do that.

    the rampage fight was not what i expected at all. i can’t believe matt didn’t get rampage to the ground and boy did that just deflate him.

    it wasn’t the most exciting fight of the night but i thought rampage looked really good.

    Man, Stann was super fired up for that one. He still seems just a little brawly to take on the best guys at 185 but he gets better every time. And how about Travis Browne’s ko … Stefan Struve about folded in half on the way down. I’d love to see Browne fight Matt Mitrione or Christian Morecraft after those guys find out who’s the better crazyman.

    But poor old Hamill looked way too tentative right from the start. Too much respect for Jackson’s fists of fury. Can’t really blame Hamill though, he’s a tough, super sympathetic and inspiring guy but he doesn’t seem to have anything special enough in his game to really trouble the top 205ers.

    struve is so tall he had extra time to crumple up on the way down. that was a fantastic KO.

    Not 100% MMA, but still in the ballpark.
