| Strikeforce – Playboy Mansion II MMA video of Joe Riggs Vs. Kazuo Misaki. The fight is from September 20, 2008 at The Playboy Mansion, in Beverly Hills, Calif. | |
Another horrible stoppage in MMA.
Terrible stoppage
i hope that ref gets killed.if soem ones trying to bash your face in and you cover up to where none , or say one out of four punches are landing that is defending yourself.thats one part of mmas evolution i do not like is fighters dont have a chance to show there toughness like the are allowed to in boxing.
I love Diesel Riggs, but he keeps losing. I noticed that they’re wearing different color gloves. What’s up with that? That stoppage was a little early.
Joe “painkiller” Riggs just can’t seem to get it together…doesn’t matter if he gives his training partners trouble during practice, he just can’t deliver in the actual fights..didn’t necessarily agree with the stoppage…don’t think Joe would do much better if he drops to 170lbs…
i dunno josh seemed to be done to me
Riggs wasnt “intelligently” defending himself.
He wasnt even trying to pull guard, he just layed there covering his face.
bad stoppage?? maybe… he was done anyways.. all he did was cover up for a good 10+ punches
if he was as fine as he said he was.. he wouldnt have curled up..
Yea..the MMA world has to look at a lot of things when it comes to the rules…especially “intelligent defense”.
Joe’s hands were up and he was in guard. Joe was rocked yes…but how many times have we seen Big Nog get rocked HARDER…then to come back and win the fight.
for those of you who haven’t watched the fight yet: skip the first round. you won’t miss a thing. makes me wish the ole yellow card from Pride could have been applied during this fight. yes, the stoppage was a bit early, but Diesel had plenty of time to let his hands go but he just never did. he looked more like a mini cooper than a diesel.
Horrible stoppage, he was covered up.
Who is Josh? And no Joe wasn’t even phased, watch the replay, nothing lands! The only thing I agreed with Glamrock all night about. Did you hear him call Herb Dean Cecil Peoples? ROFL…
Horribly boring fight. They played pattycake for most of the first round and “sized each other up.” Both counterpunchers by nature so neither wanted to throw anything.
And Riggs was covering up but also sitting up, i.e. not laying down on the mat. He was still in the fight, even had guard up (even if he hadn’t locked it in). Definitely early stoppage, but a more experienced fighter wouldn’t have had that problem. If he’d really showed effort on locking in the guard and try for body control on Misaki, he wouldn’t have given Rosenthal a chance to f**k it up again.
Diesel fell cause he was off balance… He didnt get rocked… bad stoppage!!!
you gotta love those fakes and foot work from masaki, i remember it from i think it was dream 3. dude is a warrior. riggs was done only a matter of time.
The stoppage was fine. Balling up and going fetal doesn’t equal intelligent defense in my mind.
The first round made Machida look like Wanderlei
he wasnt hitting in the beginning but in the end watch the last 3 punches and they all connected in a row which means Mizaki primed in after realizing that Riggs wast just covering up and doesnt know where the punches are coming from. Good stoppage you can see Riggs face get punched and his back hit the floor. then 2 more after taht.
shouldn’t stopped it. Joe was taking it on the arms. I think Josh Rosenthal is too quick on the stop.
that was bullshit
Terrible stop…you can’t just sit there and not move and just hold your hands up.
Speaking of middleweights,the ultimate fighter 9 is going to be welter and middleweights. Tryouts are oct 27 and i might tryout. Im 195 now so i figure cutting 10 lbs will be easy. Heck i can always got a colonic haha. But seriously. Anyone know what tuf audition process entails?
To the idiots saying this isnt intellegently defending yourself, what do you want? He rolled over and had his arms locked blocking all the punches that he new were coming from a brage its might not be the ‘most’ intellegent way to defend yourself but not getting hit = defense morons, fights shouldnt get stopped just because you get stunned, it takes a few seconds to recover, which you can do long as your not taking more damage.
that was intelligent defending, if he opened up to pull guard he woulda got knocked, none of those punches were landing, and Misaki would eventually try something else cuz his punches weren’t working
LOL @ all the bad stoppage bs. Americans can’t stand to see a japanese fighter win ever since Pearl Harbor. Riggs can’t blame getting tooled on his bad back in this fight either.
Shadow Fight!!!!!!
Yes, it was a bad stoppage but it was also another lame fight by Joe Riggs. How is he even a main event? He always loses. Remember last time he was a main event and Diego KO’d him in about 30 seconds. Just because he may look badass because of a big dumb Tattoo doesnt make him any good.
they finally start hitting each other and he stops the fight……. weak
Not one punch on the ground landed. That ref should not work again.
Rick, he’s a main event because it’s Strikeforce. They’re not exactly the creme de la creme of MMA. Still, even by their depreciated standards, he shouldn’t be a main event…
Yet again another ULTRA SHIT stoppage.
And this one was TOTALLY FUCKED!
This kind of shit just has to stop, the ref could clearly see that not one single shot
landed – couldn’t he? – I mean come on open your eyes.
hey padded dummy don’t forget hiroshima
This fight was the lamest of the lame. It felt like they were shadow boxing the whole time. Right when they actually started to hit each other, the ref stops it.
you should not be able to pepper guys with light punches an have the fight stopped im not sayin i want fighters to die or get seriously injured but that was BS when the guys done hes done its obvious joe could of took that for another 10 minuts
To paddedummy: Not a single comment had to do with racism towards Japanese. The only racist comment I see here is yours buddy.
Get with the times buddy and just let it go man.
Oh, and Riggs moment was many years ago. Though you will still suffer through Riggs fights and he might even knock someone out again one day, it would be under the same circumstances as like a Baroni. Only will be able to win in the small shows against no one special.
Hell the 2 above mentioned aren’t even considered gatekeepers any more.
shit stoppage
Yeah, that was a bad stoppage.
No idiots, what china boy did was smart.if he would have tried to power punch riggs instead of steady fast punches he would have probably gased and ended up doing more damage but not to stop it. mma fighters need to punch as fast as you can when you drop somone like that, because the ref doesen’t judge by the power of the puches but how many connect withen a period of time, when a downed opponent is doing nothen. noobie noobsaucers
for once i agree, horrible stoppage
i wasn’t able to stay awake in the first round!
paddeddummy, i’m one american that loved your comment because it’s so true. however americans can’t stand seeing their people loose to anyone. even if their fighter is a meathead prick and the person doing the ass kicking is a saint.
Junbo79, go say the pledge of allegiance three times and wake up to find out riggs won.
It was an early stoppage, but Riggs was done anyway… the ref should have waited a few more seconds, ’til Misaki got in a few hard shots through the guard, then called it.
Really, though, Riggs could’ve pushed Misaki off with his legs (or pushed himself out) from that position, had he been thinking clearly… he was kinda just curled up in a ball there.
The first round was prolly the worst mma display i’ve seen in a while. Bored to hell…
bad stoppage…whats the song call at 9:15 in the back ground sounds kool..
