Tibau was just way to big... Uno should consider fighting at a lower weight. 155 is just too big for him right now..
i think they should start same day weigh ins.
That is a lot better.
155 is the PREMIER skill division of MMA. it sucks that many of the best j-guys if using western weight cutting techniques, would resort to fighting in the 135 lb. class.
how the fuck Tibau makes 155 amazes me, he looked 180 last nite
That was like getting beat down by your older brother
weight cutting is ruining the sport.
A lot of talented guys that are naturally around 165ish are gonna be FORCEd to fight at puny weightclasses if this keeps up.
Those two were absolutely not in the same weight class.
Hey Japan, its called "cutting weight" look it up on Japanese wikipedia.
Uno is so cute <3
Also, weight cutting isn't unknown in Japan ffs. Ishida, Kawajiri, Okami, Miyata etc...
"A lot of talented guys that are naturally around 165ish are gonna be FORCEd to fight at puny weightclasses if this keeps up."
So? Why is it a problem if you see those same guys in competitive fights at 145 or 135, rather than getting manhandled at 155?
Isn't BJ Penn naturally around 165?
I fucking love watching Caol Uno fight and hopefully he ends up wherever he can be competitive.
That is all
Tomato Can - Isn't BJ Penn naturally around 165?
BJ walks around at 265 and cuts a lot for fights.
grenade - uno lost every big fight in his career. He was close to like top 10, but never really cracked it. He never won a big fight and could never beat a LW inside the top 15.
Holy noob post. Every single clause there was so thoroughly, purely noob wrong.
Uno "lost every big fight in his career"??? And "was close to like top 10, but never really cracked it"???
Unbelievable. Noobs say the darnedest, most previously unthinkable things.
Uno in fact won the first really big Superfight in the LW division, when he beat Rumina Sato - the original #1 LW, who had defined the division up to that point - where after beating Sato, Uno then in fact became the universally ranked #1 LW, as well as the literally Undisputed Champion of the division. The two fights with Sato were without question the biggest, most significant fights ever at LW up to that point - both of which Uno not only won, but unforgettably finished.
And although he had lost a non-title fight along the way - Uno was actually still the consensus #1 LW in the world when he came into the UFC.
Uno was also still easily, perennially a top-5 contender for most of his UFC run - and was actually still consensus top-3 (behind only Gomi and BJ) after his draw with BJ.
And LMAO @ "could never beat a LW inside the top 15." Even as recently as 2008 - on the down side of his career - Uno had one last big win when he beat an Ishida who was in fact universally ranked top-10 at the time. Uno has without question beaten several fighters who were top-10/top-5 at the time, including the definitive #1.
I swear, a few years from now, someone is going to say Gomi "was close to like top 10, but never really cracked it" as well.
whistleblower is correct.
When UNO was #1 ranked universally at 155, Sakurai was #1 P4P and #1 at WW. Sakuraba was also the #1 MW/LHW

In all fairness to the post you are responding too... clearly, the guy is only referring to 2005-2010. For obvious reasons.

"In all fairness" - here is the post I was "responding too" (which you entirely, conveniently omitted from quoting, for some reason):
grenade - uno lost every big fight in his career. He was close to like top 10, but never really cracked it. He never won a big fight and could never beat a LW inside the top 15.
So when he specifically said, "uno lost every big fight in his career" - by "in his career," according to you, he "clearly" was "only referring to 2005-2010"?
And when he then said that Uno "never really cracked" the top 10, and "could never beat a LW inside the top 15" - and then in his next post, reiterated that "Uno never was good" - he still "clearly" was "only referring to 2005-2010"? Even though he specifically said "in his career" - and then repeatedly kept stating "never" - while not even once, not even vaguely referring to a specific "2005-2010" time frame? (Which is something that you alone seem to have attributed to him, from completely out of nowhere.)
"In all fairness," you're an idiot. "For obvious reasons."
EVILYOSHIDA - When UNO was #1 ranked universally at 155, Sakurai was #1 P4P and #1 at WW. Sakuraba was also the #1 MW/LHW
Yes, this is a fact. At one point, Uno was the universally ranked #1 at LW, while Sakurai was the universally ranked #1 at WW, and Sakuraba was the universally ranked #1 at 200, as well as the #1 P4P (and consensus greatest-ever to that point) before losing to Vanderlei, whereupon Sakurai was then the consensus #1 P4P before losing to Anderson.
(While at HW - at the same time as those 3 were reigning in the 3 other major divisions - the #1's were Igor and then Coleman.)
Fights like this occur because the UFC doesn't have the lower weight classes
Whistleblower- I think you missed Windfall's point. He was saying Grenade was probably only talking about 2005-2010 because that's as long as he's been watching MMA...ya know, a noob joke?
^ Lol, thx.
yea, that was quite noticable
