How the mighty have fallen.

AikaImmortal · 03-08-2008, 07:51 PM

I know the main event is yet to air stateside but I saw the main event and I will just say that either his chin has gotten worse to be ko'ed by a grazing punch, or he was just in it for the benjamins. I was watching his Pancrase highlights yesterday and yes, how the mighty have fallen. It pains me to see someone keep going when obviously they need to hang it up for thier own well-being. He could always do some straight grappling if he wants to stay active and whatnot, I wouldn't mind seeing that at all.. but to see a childhood hero keep getting raped kinda sucks. well, really sucks.

I agree, i'd rather see Ken hang up the gloves then to see a legend getting run over by people i've never heard of, it's time to retire Ken sorry to say man.

Man, Imanari's reverse heelhook was SICK! DEEP / Cage Rage featherweight champion... WEC watch out!

RampageMcKellar · 03-08-2008, 10:44 PM

I lost all my points on Ken.

F_B · 03-08-2008, 10:57 PM

I lost 13k on Ken. Man he looked terrible. He needs to just hang up his gloves.

Ryduce · 03-08-2008, 10:57 PM

Silva finally gets it back to the feet and he is fighting a guy who basically wins exclusively with leglocks,and he goes leg first into his guard with a spinning back kick.

Not the brightest strategy IMO.

NateRupe · 03-08-2008, 11:22 PM

Lost 4k on Ken but won 10k on Imanari

I want to see Imanari fight Urijah Faber that'd be a good fight, and sucks to see Ken get KO'd... he just needs to retire because that is really sad to watch really makes ya feel blue.

it was time to retire after his last UFC fight...he looked terrible....and looked worse last night....

like last nights' dinner.....he's DONE!!!

Saskabush · 03-09-2008, 10:10 AM

It was sad to see Ken fall like he did. He looked timid in there, afraid to engage or shoot. Berry's shot only grazed Ken and he went down with his back turned, similar to the Saku fight. Ken needs to hang up the gloves and focus on training up and comers. If not, he is going to further tarnish his legacy or end up like Ali.

T-Bone · 03-09-2008, 12:23 PM

Maybe Ken wants to fight Tito again

You were a great fighter Ken, call it a night.

Imanari has skills. Jean trained a bunch to protect against leg subs...he stayed alive for a little while but Imanari is too impressive.

I don't think Broughton deserved that decision.

Mouth For War · 03-09-2008, 01:21 PM

and to think there were rumours of Ken vs Kimbo.

Rumbin · 03-09-2008, 01:23 PM

Im a big Jean Silva fan but man how do you fall for a leg lock vs Iminari? Seriously

mackem_111 · 03-09-2008, 01:26 PM

that was a mega (but short) fight ^^^^^^^^^

Rush · 03-09-2008, 03:16 PM

I just watched the Ken fight. Geez, poor guy. That was sad. I hope he doesn't fight again.

SmashingMachine · 03-09-2008, 09:11 PM

Yeah, Ken needs to retire. How sad was that? Dude looked like an amateur out there, his skills are so far gone. He looked as good or better against Tito. He needs to hang it up before he becomes another Ali.

giguer · 03-09-2008, 10:01 PM

Damn I feel sad for Ken. It's time to put the gloves off and teach to new student.

Mulla · 03-10-2008, 08:59 AM

Glad to see Broughton get the win, although admittedly you could tell the 13 month lay-off affected him. I reckon he'll be much sharper for his next fight...hopefully against Al-Turk.

Yeah the Silva/Iminari fight was wicked, you gotta wonder why Jean went for a heel hook on someone like Iminari tho...its just asking for trouble lol.

The female fight was an outrageous mismatch, but Id be quite interested to see Daly against some higher level opposition.

The Guillet/Watson fight had a nice ending, but I cant think why they'd show that instead of the Turner/Al-Turk fight?
