OH NOO!!! PLEASE GOD NO!!!!!!! Martjin De Jong said on the MMA Hour today that Gokhan Saki is doing MMA fulltime.

[veprman]

Saw a thread about this on sheissedog. What a fucking travesty. This is news up there with the Strikeforce buyout in terms of badness.

FUCK!

[StillWill]

Ugh

[Fizzle]

more money in mma. k1 stars are the equivalent of bowlers

[sambokid]

[Fedizzle]

war grappling!!

[Fletch]

y'all mad?

Why not, as long as he develops better takedown defence than his buddy Stefan did 8yrs ago, he could do well.

Perhaps Stefan baited him into it, and told him to go gunning for revenge on Minowaman "The Golden Glory killer"

yep prety much... hopefully he does not have badr hari mma debut

[Stu3ufc]

lol wut?

[stompsinyomush]

It's hard to say how he's going to do...I guess we'll find out when it does happen.

I'll be watching.

It's a cruel world. But the guy needs to get paid

[CarJackinFancy]

LOL at thread title. It is not like Saki was ever going to bring home a major title anyways. His chances in MMA are pretty slim though. Its too bad Strikeforce is no longer an option, at least they would have been willing to cash in on his name value and give him some weak opponents to beat up on but he was never going to be a contender in MMA.

[Jride]

Gokhan needs to stay in Kickboxing.

That hugging and shit, its nothing.

if he can stop takedowns, that in itself will make him extremely dangerous for anyone to fight.

LOL, he could easily take a title in his weight class.

[stompsinyomush]

I agree 100 percent look when Cro Cop was on point.

In this day and age its going to be ALOT harder to pick up the level of takedown defense needed to keep himself from getting taken down. Not nearly as many top notch wrestlers to worry about back in the day. Compare this to now when all the top guys come from ridiculous grappling backgrounds of all sorts.

If its so easy he probably would have done it by now.

[Prince Mo]

im not that interested in having Saki in MMA.. it fucking pissed me off when i heard this and made me very upset..


Fuck MMA you cant display anything fully and nobody any major skills apart from the few top guys..

If he dont come in with CroCop level TDD his skills will be wasted and i love watching him Kick Boxing

[joaolaitano]

If he works on a TDD ala Crocop it would be sick, otherwise there will not be good things in his future if he is getting tossed a taped by Marloes Coenen in training.
