EliteXC fight video of Ricco Rodriguez versus Antonio Silva at Street Certified. |
One of only two fights that went the distance on the night. A very close fight that could have been called either way. Silva later admitted to having some petty severe knee damage two week before the fight but had the guts to not cancel.
This fight sucked ass. Ricco looked so sadly out of shape.
Doesnt that asshole take his job seriously. And Antonio Silva also disappointed me. The next Big thing my ass. This guy looked like a normal smuck with no balls.
What fight are the announcers even watching. I kept going back to make sure I wasn’t getting the fighters confused. Silva, was the one in black right?
Even on the bottom he was better. He won that fight hands down IMO. How that came down to a split decision I’ll never know.
lol there is like a video of Ricco on youtube which was made like in 2006 or 2007. In that video dude looks a little ripped and much skinner than he does here. I thought he was going to look like that on the 16 but i was wrong. But Goldberg made the best comment about Ricco: When the professor and Mauro were talking about conditioning Goldberg was like Ricco’s conditioning is Slurpies and Cake lol haha.
Ricco needs to shave his head and lose about thirty pounds.
Good one Ricco, showing signs of his old self and much improved stand-up. Although not a win, good showing.
Silva looks like a deformed, mongoloid ape.
Rodriguez has been hanging out with Tank Abbott and training at Dunkin Donuts.
Rodriguez looked much better here, but he could still be a lot more if he dedicated himself more to training. I think this was a fair decision. I had Rodriguez winning the first round and Silva winning the last two. I don’t know how one judge had the first round going to Silva. Ricco seemed pretty happy just to get to a decision.
Impressive for Ricco. Seeing him at 700lbs in the IFL was depressing. Too bad he did a lot of cocaine and not enough meth. Otherwise he would have stayed thin. But good for him, and he has made lots of improvement. I can’t wait to see him in shape agian.
may looked out of shape… however IF he was as out of shape as he looked the fight woulda been over alot earlier… looks are decieving.. and for all you other ppl who think huge muscular builds are essential are wrong… muscles are important but not to the point where they slow you down… speed counts for more than power i’d say…. delicated balance
Ricco will be back.
Look how out of shape he is and he was standing and fighting.
He’ll be back
King Soloman is right, both fighters looked un-impressive. And Blackbeltkarate, I do agree with you as well to some extent. Liddell will never lose his gut, but the guy has raw talent. Trust me, strength is also very important. The only bad thing about a ripped cut body is that your muscles need more oxygen, and people,.. lets say, baroni, tend to gas a little quicker. I just thought this was the worst fight on the card, and “big foot” is gonna get wrecked pretty soon. I’d like to see kimbo fight him personally. EliteXC is going to be smart, and they know kimbo is their biggest star, so were gonna have to see a couple more bs wash up fights… It’s business.
It’s nice to see Ricco show some sportsmanship this time!
I hope he drops that weight and comes back strong, he looked great in that fight.
Fight was decent….announcers were absolutely crap.
The announcers sounded like pro-wrestlers more than mma. I know its a dead horse but… really….
ricco way out of shape what happened to em
Blackbeltkarate, what would you say about FAT? Don’t you think that would slow you down as well? The point is that Ricco would do a heck of a lot better were he in shape. I agree with the muscle comment though, too much muscle will slow you down. Just look a Brock Lesnar.
For a guy that looks so out of shape he certainly had stamina..give him credit, i dont think either kimbo tank or cabbage could last 15 minutes these days
that fight sucked ass. bigfoot is a gentle giant and ricco is way out of shape. the rest of the show was awesome.
Ricco won that fight hands down. He won rounds 1 and 3. The only reason they “gave” it to Silva is because he is highly touted as the next coming of Jesus by EliteXC.
He did not show me anything.
Ricco took the fight in short notice – that’s why he wasn’t in better shape.
Also, Ricco beats Kimbo’s ass easily – should they fight.
Ricco is a fat ass hasbeen with a substance abuse problem! He doesn’t get into shape for his fights. Antonio (Frankenstein’s Monster) Silva could’ve looked better but all fights aren’t going to be barn burners. A win is a win nomatter if its ugly and boring. Ricco say “NO” to pasta and “YES” to cardio!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, what the hell Ricco? Did you try to gain 1000lbs before your fight man? I’ve seen Ricco at fight events several times and he’s never ever looked this HUGE! I’m dissapointed in you Ricco. Its true to say a leaner body performs better in fights than a grossly overweight one. Your lungs have to work nearly 3 times as hard to oxygenate the body. Wow, how unbelievably sad.
silva looked good, he dominated it really. looks like ricco would be better of dropin down to light heavy
