Saw what, the announcement?

No, the IFL show you are talking about. It was on last night. I made a thread about it.

These fights are for November, the ones on the other night were the second round of the tourney.

Anyone else watch the IFL superfights? Man, there were some pretty good fights on tonight! Two KO's, a choked out opponent, and no decisions! Check your provider for a re-play! www.ifl.tv

I just went to FSN to see what was on just in time to see the Gracie choke out Wes Sims and then Lindland KO Jeremy Horn! I was impressed.

I saw that today as well. Some great fights. I saw the first controversial fight between Wes Sims and Dan Gracie on INHD (a channel that broadcasts in HD only). Gracie kneed Wes Sims at the end of the round and put him out of commission. Mark Coleman was on Sims corner. After the repeated knees, Sims was unable to continue and initially the victory went to Dan Gracie. Gracie realized it was a punk move to knee someone's head while they are down, so he offered to rematch Sims. It also turned out that later, the win was turned into a draw due to the events that took place.

In the second fight, Sims lost due to a standing rear naked choke. Sims was unimpressive. He was controlled by Gracie throughout the fight.

Lindland also TKO'd Jeremy Horn. But I think the referee jumped in too soon. Although Lindland was completely more dominant, I think they should have let Lindland put him away. When Horn got up, he was contesting the referee's decision to stop the fight. Now Horn's probably going to want a rematch, etc. In any event, Lindland had an outstanding performance.

Alright, they showed their last PPV tonight for free!

Who else thinks that the decision on the LW fight was bogus? How can you win two rounds, not much happen in the third round, get a takedown at the end and lose?

The WW fight was back and forth for a while.
MW fight - WOW what a turnaround! Thats BJJ for ya!

How about that sick guillotine choke from the standing position? Gracie's team may have lost that round, but he made up for it with that win!

That was really enjoyable. I am looking forward to the Best Damn Superfight this weekend. I am really starting to like the IFL.

Last night I caught the last half of The Best Damn IFL Superfights Ever, which is an episode of The Best Damn Sports Show Ever. That was the third show dedicated to MMA that TBDSSE has put out in the last few months. The other two were for PRIDE and the Best KO's Ever show that featured MMA KO's from most any promotion along with boxing and kickboxing KO's. Last night's show focused a lot on behind the scenes stuff, and it was very interesting.

They had an "all access" type segment for Pat Militech and Renzo Gracie that was pretty good too.

comucazi · 10-03-2006, 10:24 PM

when do they show replays?

subgenius · 10-03-2006, 10:37 PM

I looked, but that episode of The Best Damn Sports Show Period (I said "Ever" before, but it's "Period") does not seem to have a replay time. Usually, they show it on Monday night, and then later in the week they repeat that show. This was also a special, and not the regular TBDSSP that is being replayed. This was called The Best Damn IFL Superfights. Maybe the FSN/CSN website has more information...
