Jake Rossen on Garcia/Korean Zombie

The Sloppy Joe Award: Leonard Garcia and Chan Sung Jung, for delivering a haymaker-heavy fight predicated on that $65,000 bonus that was either one of the most exciting things you’ve seen or one of the most embarrassing.


Embarrassing? Who the fuck is this clown?

Congratulations Sherdog. You have a complete fucking retard writing for you...

Embarrassing....where would he get that shit from?

What a dick.

that was one of the best fights i've ever seen.

was it the grandest display of skill and talent?

Nope.

Silva's last fight was. Aldo's fight was. Mayweathers last 20 fights were...

all were boring as fuck.

that shit Saturday was BOMB!

like watching two Aurto Gatti's going at it.

These mma "journalists" try to be witty.

it fails every single fucking time

I think it's similar to how Perez Hilton and other Hollywood gossipers try to act bitchy.

An example of a good MMA journalist?

My top pick would be Ariel Helwani.

Ariel Helwani for the win

While I do applaud their heart and tenacity I much prefere the technical fights. I did laugh and appriciate it for what it was though.

My favorite fight of that night was Demetrious Johnson vs. Brad Pickett. But holy schmokes the whole card was great.

Ariel is young but he acts many years beyond his age.

very professional

Some of the most exciting football(soccer) games you will ever see need not necessarily be the best displays of technical proficiency. The same with any sport.

^^ true. is it fair to say that excitement and action trumps all as far as what makes a "good" fight?

The fight was awesome, but I kept thinking while watching that people who say that MMA involves no skill will show clips of this fight as an example. And could be construed as somewhat embarrassing.

NO SKILL?

do you know how hard it is to eat knuckle-sanwiches for 3 rounds!

j/k... but really, i would think that the less refined the level of understanding that the viewer posseses, the more understandable and exciting that fight was.

 Jack Rossen is basically paid to troll.

their getting their $'s worth...

The reading comprehension of the UG amazes me sometimes.

 there's room for both technical wizardry and barnburners...I like seeing both

 Jake Rossen is a hack, don't pay any attention to the trolling shit he writes

 i thought we agreed to call it "the ronin award"

Rossen the hater apparently.  He must expect every single fighter to adhere to some predetermined technical level for the fight to be considered truly good to him.  How sad.

agreed. but to disparage the latter is geh...
