Title: UFC and the IFBB (Liberatore Speaks Out)
Post by: Ex Coelis on May 06, 2009, 04:19:15 PM
in the last couple of years, bodybuilding and MMA have become more involved with one another

since the UFC has such a huge and growing fan-base, it seems like a good arrangement for the IFBB

in this months issue of MD, Mike Liberatore disagrees:

"I watch the UFC and I have nothing but respect for the fighters, but I just don't think it's a good fit to have all that mixed up with what has traditionally been 'our' thing as bodybuilders. The UFC fans can also be a difficult bunch to be around. You have a lot of them who have maybe taken a few classes walking around like tough guys with shirts talking about how they hurt people or will kick your ass or whatever. Some of them look like the only thing they can knock down is a glass of beer."

I think Mike makes a good point

And bodybuilding is a whole lot different than MMA?  PLEASE.  Look at all of these guys who patrol bodybuilding shows who look as if they've never lifted a weight before.  Mike is trying to act like bodybuilding is more than it really is.  Get real Mike!

IFBB PROS HAVE NO RIGHT SAYING A FUCKING WORD ABOUT ANYONE IN MMA.  IFBB PRO'S ARE BEAUTY PAGEANT CONTESTANTS AND MMA FIGHTERS ARE ATHLETES.  TRUST ME, TAMDEM MCCORY (SP) COULD BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF DENNIS WOLF

Mike seems to forget he is a bodybuilder?  Memo to Mike - you are no better than anyone competing in MMA.  Stop acting like you are holier than thou.

Wow a great spokesperson for bodybuilding.  Keep these wanna be tough guys out of bodybuilding expo's.  Bodybuilding has been around longer as a sport and is completely different than MMA.  Would you have football and baseball in the same stadium...NO!

It funny how the IFBB clings to the UFC and mentions this so called partnership whenever they get the chance, but the UFC has never mentioned this "partnership" with the IFBB on any telecast.

Probably because bodybuilding competition is pretty fucking gay.

what's gayer, men watching other men pose on stage, or men wrestling men in a 8 sided cage while hundreds of other men watch?

That's tough. Big difference though.....one has men in tights, wrestling and punching each other, so there's at least legitimate athleticism required. A combat sport.

The other has oiled up men in tiny trunks, flexing, dancing, posing and gyrating for a crowd of schmoes....a male pageant at best. But really, just your average Saturday night gay strip show....with the participants too dumb to get paid for it.

The Liberator guy does make a valid point.  It's basically the same thing we all laugh about with the wannabe MMA guys with an Affliction or Tapout shirt who is ready to take on the world after watching a couple of UFC ppv's....

no comparision....
bbing is for show... 80% of bbers today arent even strong they just lift for the look
MMA gets way more respect from me
and besides who acts more togh than bbers??
we had tough guy king kamali telling people on here... to come to the show and tell him to his face he sucked... so by that i take it he was gonna beat down or try to  a guy because he wasnt a fan of phsyiqe and was vocal about it....
i just laugh at guy like this they have NO IDEA what bad is it would have been funny if someone had really showed up with a sawed of shot gun and told him whatever he needed to say to him to his face.
or better yet what if the guy was bigger than him
then what? typical  bully
MMA pwns

I have a few friends who are doormans at clubs around here and when George is there there are always a few drunk guys that try to start some shit lol

GSP is pretty laid back tho, I don't think he would ever get in a fight.
he looks like he really doesn't give a fuck  :)

GPS said in a recent interview that his last "street fight" was when he was 17, and a guy wanted to hit him with a bottle in a club. He left the club to avoid the confrontation (guy was 25), the guy followed him, GPS had to defend himself and broke the guys arm ;D

But for fucks sake, morons trying to fight him? Are they stupid or something? ;D

There = a story about Mark Hammil being a bouncer and throwing out a total of 8 huge guys (not at the exact same time :P ) from some bar where they were causing trouble. They probably lifted more than him, but the guy is a bear wrestling wise.

Yeah, Bas supposedly danced a bit crazy accidentally bumping into people and such, So the bouncers took him into a back room (where they usually beat up people that they dont like etc, that are causing trouble..) and the rest is history :D,
