Semmy is the shit.
He kneed a sparring partner in the chest and that guy died!
Carl Weathers - He would be #2 HW behind Overeem
lol
UKBritFanUKBritEnglandFanUKGodSaveTheQueenUK -whoa, touchy much? lolZedlepln -explodingboy -If that is the case, it is a new revelation. They have earned healthy skepticism. I welcome them earning a better reputation.
MMABay is very usually a fine source. Haters like to hate for no reason.
You nationalist prejudice is a disgrace to the Founding Fathers of the USA.
MMABay a bogus site? That wouldn't have anything to do with the .co.uk after their name, would it? You bastard...
Imagine him with several years of purely fighting MMA in the UFC. He could get a lot of help if he cross-trained with some of todays top training camps.
He could use his range and stand behind his jab against wrestlers, he's knocked people down with jabs in K-1 gloves. If he'd train to time knees on takedown attempts as well he could be a beast.
Of course that's all conjecture, but it's fun to think about.
LOL @ Semmy Schilt.
Yeah, sure he's had success in K-1, where he's had a foot or more on some people - But he's never had much success in MMA, and has lost to every decent fighter he's fought.
There's a reason he left Pride and went to K-1. He couldn't cut it in MMA. And besides, he's about 300lbs now, and would find it hard to make 265.
I'm always amused by people who over-inflate the important of fighters. Semmy is irrelevant in heavyweight MMA. That's a fact.
Zedlepln - <p>I'll wait for a source other than mmabay.</p>
He can definitely beat some guys in UFC, JDS would be in serious trouble as would any other striking based fighter but he would never be able to dominate in UFC as he has done in K-1 for the simple fact that his td defence is pretty shit.
JOB - LOL @ Semmy Schilt.Just because hes not high ranking or will ever hold a title in MMA doesnt mean he wont have some good fights. If they put him in the with the right competition there will be some exciting fights and KOs. Who cares if they are irrelevant fights if they are exciting.

Semmy Schilt has worse takedown defense than a 3 legged dog but his grapplings not bad.
Semmy Schilt vs James Toney!

That wasn't my point. My point was that some poster think he will be the second coming. He won't.
I think many underestimate him. He was a 220lb beanpole when he fought mma. He's a 290lb monster now. I suspect he will be much harder to take down now. And his stand up is vastly improved. I think the wrestlers may have problems getting him to the ground.
Interesting, but Semmy's struggled at the top level in MMA. Assuming he's improved he might make for some good B level fights. The weight issue is a good question as well.

People of all colours, creeds and nations can unite in despising MMABay and all its fraudulence
That said, I'm amused to be labelled as nationalistic. You'd think my screen name would be at least a hint otherwise. Some people are just better with smaller puzzles, I guess.
UKBritFanUKBritEnglandFanUKGodSaveTheQueenUK -No, it would not have anything to do with the co.uk after their name.

Try to not assume before calling me a bastard. You are capable of being objective, right?
BTW, are you, by chance, Tony?
"
MixFight.nl broke the news with a statement apparently made from Golden Glory that talks with Dana White had already begun and a three-fight contract seemed likely for Semmy. MMABay.co.uk abruptly picked up the news, followed by Fighters Only Magazine and then a virtual potpourri of other MMA sites. Head Kick Legend decided to contact Golden Glory to see what Bas Boon had to say about the rumors and the site was met with one simple statement: 'It's total [expletive]'.
The entire thing was a farce. There hasn't been a single meeting or negotiation between the two parties. Boon admitted they are in good terms with the Dana White, but Semmy Schilt is not going to the UFC. However Bas Boon did say that Jon Olav Einemo was the only Golden Glory fighter that may step inside of an octagon, and that is like seven layers of amazing."
^^ I'm more than a little dissappointed in FO running with that story, especially so quickly. They are normally quality.
they need a bigger octagon. There should be enough room that you can back far enough away to not get hit. The way it is now, you are anyways in striking distance of shemmy unless you are in row 6
would be nice, but isnt he aroudn 300lbs?
still though, Id love to see any "striker" take him on
UKBritFanUKBritEnglandFanUKGodSaveTheQueenUK -Lol, no. Tony who previously had an account here and on Sherdog.
Tony Blair?
I don't care to see Semmy in MMA, he belongs in K-1.
