I just saw the Aoki fight and it was wow, in a bad way:

Spoiler

He broke the guy's arm and then was way worse than Lesnar giving the middle finger...wonder if this will cause any uproar of unsportsmanship....Where is the honor in the ring?

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

I thought that was really for BJ or maybe just Sengoku in general.

It started at Mousassi/Goodridge where I found it,it's replaying though. @ Miller "I'm excited to see the EA logo on Yoshida's gloves,that means he's gonna be in the game too!"

Who's the British guy? "You're as useless as Yoshida's testicles right now!"

How classy of him - someone I'd definitely love to see in the UFC...

Not...

I also wouldn't give that sub of the year - I've seen better this year for sure.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Can someone explain the Aoki taunt? Was there bad blood or what.. that was pretty bad.

Only thing I can think of was that Hirota beat one of Aoki's teammates to take the Sengoku Lightweight title. It wasn't just Hirota though as he was flipping off the fans also so I'm not sure why.

[goh]

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Not bad blood exactly but apprently there was quite a lot of trash talking coming from Hirota. Far as the fans,I really don't think that was for them. Also in seeing it discussed other places that's not so bad over there. I would guess it's equal to Evans' antics.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

This is old, but I'm just now reading this. I've always liked Barry and after reading this I'm really happy he got the money.

** UFC fighter was eating ketchup and rice before UFC 104

If anyone needed a huge postfight bonus at UFC 104, it was Pat Barry. The heavyweight out of New Orleans, scored Knockout of the Night and Fight of the Night for his victory over Antoni Hardonk. That was good enough for $120,000. Good thing, Barry needed the infusion of cash in the worst way. He confirmed to MMAScrapsRadio that he was completely down on his luck before the fight, agreeing that he had little to eat in Los Angeles the week of the fight.

"I still had my apartment but if something would've happened and the fight had been canceled, I would've been evicted six days later."

Barry, 30, said he didn't even tell his trainer Duke Roufus for fear that he would think the fighter had the wrong motivation going into the fight. Barry said he didn't ask anyone for money including his mother:

"I could ask someone but then at the same time, how hard are you going to work for something if everytime you get in trouble somebody catches you? I did something to put myself in this position I have to work my way out of it."

Listen to Barry talk about his troubles before the fight:



Barry got his $120,000 bonus check last Tuesday. He couldn't believe it. When he went to deposit the check, his truck wouldn't start. Barry got a jump and hit the bank sporting a black eye and pink striped shorts.

"I go to the bank, I'm sweaty, I've got the black eye, I haven't shaven in two days, I'm strung out because I haven't slept, I have green circles under my eyes so I'm like 'Can I have a deposit slip mam?'. She gives it to me, I fill it out hand it to her. She looks at the deposit slip, then the check, then looks at me and says 'Excuse me I'll be right back.' Then a manager comes out, a guy in a suit and says 'What seems to be the problem?' I was like 'Well I have a black eye, that's the only problem I know this looks really ridiculous.' So he asks me for my ID, I hand him my license an he's like 'Your license says Pat Barry, but this check was written to Patrick Barry.' So I decided to be funny and tell him Pat Barry is in my trunk right now. He didnt laugh. So I told him take your time man do whatever you need to do because I have no where to go and my truck probably wont start when I go outside so you can just do whatever you need to do. An hour later he came back and everything was fine, the check was in my bank account."

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

That's a real cool story Pappy. Thanks for posting it.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Orders from the boss maybe?

"Let's name it 'Keichi Sasahara 2010.' Because Sasahara told me to take him out, so I went and did just that, and that's why I figure I should name it after him." -- Shinya Aoki, christening his hammerlock submission after his "boss."
