Artur is a fucking stud. Too bad the little guys don't get as much appreciation as the big ones.

MAX tourney's own.

Hell yes, they do! Much more action, IMO. K-1 Max is the shit.

Andre Dida vs. Baukaw recent fight was one of the greatest scraps ever.

DBHK · 06-18-2009, 09:29 PM

Almost anything with Dida is amazing.

R3D D3ViL · 06-18-2009, 09:34 PM

This is true. I cant wait till Genghis drops his Artur-Dida HL.

That dude needs to come over here and become a Camel.

I hate to burst everyone's bubble on Dida... but the guy really isn't that great. I've sparred with him more than a few times, and he wasn't as much better than me that I thought.

Don't use the Buakaw to guage his skill either, that was Buakaw's cocky attitude that made the fight go the way it did. Not Dida's skill.

Pics or fail.

Call it a fail all you like. But anyone can go spar with him anytime they want. He teaches in TO. Plus he does seminars all over Canada. I'm not special because I got to.

I just love fighting fighters that are better than me, it's how you get better. He wasn't as much better than he should be.

The only real tool he has is over hands, you can easily counter them with jabs and straight rights though. I got him so frustrated, that he wouldn't even spar. He just kept dumping me.

That kid gets tagged alot. He likes to go in there and brawl, exposing his chin. BJ penn would fuck that kid up.

I never thought I'd say this, but Pole Smoker is right.

He doesn't "Brawl". Those are overhands he throws. Just when he gets pissed, or frustrated... he swings for the fences.

Dida can fucking brawl though. He almost killed the guy in your av.

He also dropped Eddie Alvarez a few times. Dida isnt the most technical but his strikes are brutal.

Yeah I know. But like I said, it was his cocky attitude that almost cost him. Not Dida's skill.

I like too though how Buakaw didn't knock him out. He made him pay for it. Dida felt that shit for weeks.

I like Dida though, I just hope he can shake the Chute Boxe style.

Chute Boxe Violence FTW!

I train at Chute Boxe under Roberto Peccinninni. Hes a fucking awesome MMA coach.
