Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    ya friends, i'm sure it'll still be fun, but was really excited about rooting for an Armenian ..oh well ..next time.

    As for not losing too much: Isn't it the point of life? You work hard the whole year, save some money, then you go to Las Vegas and voluntarily and maniacly stick your hard earned cash into these electronic boxes that make sounds and flashes and other xxxx that is only supposed to excite kids. ...... it's sick.


    ...i'll probably just play some holdem, I lose less money that way.

      Just watched the Parisyan ~ Diez fight on Unleashed the other night. Did I hear the commentator mention Judo when they were talking about the background of Karo Parisyan? Good bout but made me wonder if Karo could handle Hughes ... Overall I just want to watch a good match. The Trigg ~ St. Pierre fight was pretty decent. Trigg seems to always get caught from behind.

        Karo started out with Judo at Gokor's Hayastan gym, where I used to go to as well (memories). Trigg has a weakness when it comes to submission defense. He needs to seriously work on that if he wants to improve his game. His takedowns, and standup are perfect, but he cannot fight submission fighters.

        As far as the Diaz and Karo fight, that was a really close fight with a slight edge to Karo. What Karo really needs to do is improve his stand up, and his power - he needs some strength training. I swear he looks really outmuscled and small in most of his fights. I believe with more stand up (which has been improving, ex: Matt Serra fight), and some hardcore strength training, he will be very powerful.

          Yeah Karo needs to up his stand up, no pun. All the punches I saw him throw practically seemed like overhands. What do you think about his quickness w/takedowns? I wonder if Diez slathered up in Vaseline before the bout to make it harder to hold on. I've heard fighters do that ... I dunno.

          So from what you have posted I can infer that you indeed do practice some form of martial arts although you never answered my post that I asked you like a hundred questions (wonder why ) about becoming involved in mma and what you trained in as well if it is expensive to get into. So what's your deal with mma do you still train or teach or what? Fill me in ... I wouldn't ask if I wasn't interested.

            To my surprise I won money this time. Got a royal flush on a poker slot machine (50c) , after which went on to play nolimit holdem and took everyone to cleaners for the next 6 hours.

            UFC was fun, took photos with Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture. Very good knockout by Rich Franklin. His opponent fell, his body stiffed up, leg stayed extended and upward, while he had stars circling above his head.

            Karo was present at the event, but he was hiding .... they were interviewing another guy and I saw him a few seats further turning his head away. He seemed to have a Russian looking blonde g/f with him.

              Re: Diaz

              One of my favorite fights (out of the ones I've seen recently) was Diego Sanchez vs. Nick Diaz

              Great action.

                I think I already clarified this to you, but here goes again.

                I have practiced some form of martial arts - Judo. I am not in MMA as you know it, although I do participate with my former professor from school, and a few friends, in a small little private event in which we do engage in a mixed martial art competition between us. That usually happens once a month. The other times, once a week, we get together for grappling, and just practice submission wrestling.

                  Now you can wipe the sweat off your forehead, for actually walking away a winnar from the slots!

                  That's amazing that you got picture with Randy and Chuck. I remember I took picture with Chuck, but I had a disposable and it never came out quite good so I had to dump it, sadly. Wasn't UFC so much more fun LIVE as opposed to watching it on tv?

                  P.S. Hopefully Karo rebounds soon, some of us actually like to see him.

                    Ya, lady luck was on my side this time.

                    Wasn't UFC so much more fun LIVE as opposed to watching it on tv?
                    Well, there are few issues:

                    If you sit on the floor level, you cannot see ground action, so you end up looking on the screens.

                    If you sit on upper levels, you probably can see everything, but from one angle (so probably will look at the screens every now and then). But you're further away from action, ie I doubt you'd hear the sound a punch or kick makes.

                    I found myself looking at screens often, because camera follows the action from the top and that way at least you can see everything that happens.

                    Another thing, while it might be fun to hear people cheer etc .... but, as you know, American audience is way too noisy. Everybody thinks they are expert and keep yelling "stomp" or "kick" etc . ...or "that's not how you do a kimura!".... I think it is rather disrespectful towards the fighter to yell stupid directions. People are coming to the event, thinking it is a street brawl.

                    All in all, I would probably go again, if there is a fighter I like to see, for example, Karo.

                    They also announced that on Feb 4th, 2006, there will be a Randy vs Chuck rematch. And also that the Ultimate Fighter 3 coaches are: Ken Shamrock & Tito Ortiz

                      I saw a recent video on Sherdog about Tito signing a three fight deal w/UFC to try and bring back the crowds to the events. He's going to fight Ken and some other heavy hitters. Says he hasn't signed a deal w/WEC, or actually "No comment". Seems like the sport is gaining some momentum finally.

                      Think this has anything to do (here in the U.S.) with the exposure MMA has gotten with Ultimate Fighter on Spike and ppl being able to actually see and hear the fighters talk intelligently about the sport? Realize there is more to it than meets the eye ...
