Looking forward to the feedback!

[Vash]

Thanks, and looking forward to your continued participatino!

Vash has a point, I think. Are you just a photographer or do you train?

[MasterKiller]

I don't think Vash has a point. I don't see anything wrong with ultravista posting his pictures because he isn't pandering or panhandling, unlike the other poster who was obviously just trying to get traffic directed to his site.

[Vash]

If it's cool with you guys, I don't have a problem with it. I don't want to be the guy that shows favoritism though since I like the pictures and the other guy's articles were less than awesome.

[GeneChing]

A picture is worth a thousand words. I can see where it's a tad borderline since there's a marketing aspect to ultravista selling his photos and promoting them here, but they are some nice photos and that's completely non-competitive with our forum sponsors (http://www.martialartsmart.net/index.html). It would be even better if he dropped some commentary on being at these fights (a good soft sell, if nothing else), but for now, I'm fine with this.

Has anyone purchased any ultravista photos?

Couture News ...
After suffering a broken jaw in her pro debut loss, female mixed martial artist Kim Couture was initially informed that she would require sugery to wire her jaw shut for five weeks. Upon realizing that she was a fighter, doctors decided instead to insert a titanium plate and screws. Couture will undergo surgery on Wednesday. The procedure will allow her to return to training and sparring in just 6 weeks, a lot sooner than possible had she had her jaw wired shut. "I will be eating a steak dinner the night of my surgery," she remarked. Excited about the news, Couture is eager for a rematch with Rose, stating, "I will definitely get her back! I don't think she can whoop me."

I always love it when someone who just had their jaw broken in two places says that the person who did the jaw-breaking couldn't whip them. HELLO! They just did whip them. WTF??? Sports Illustrated's Truth and Rumors page is suggesting that someone should have thrown in the towel.

[Vankuen]

I was going to say the exact same thing in regards to that line....

[cjurakpt]

"I will definitely get her back! I don't think she can whoop me."
In the words of the great Cleese cum Praline: "Explain the logic underlying that statement!"

Addendum:
Just watched the match and read a thread on Sherdog about it - consensus seems to be that she was not ready for this, especially vis a vis her standup; I would agree - she obviously has some skills on the ground, but her stand up structure appears to be predicated on the "block with your face" axiom...

[Old Noob]

I saw Uriah Faber fight Jens Pulver a while back. In that fight, Faber clearly won every round. Still, if Pulver had said, "that guy couldn't whip me," I could have bought that a little easier because Pulver took absolutely everything Faber had and kept coming, at times even lauging off Faber's punching flurries. Faber's victory was compelling but I wouldn't say Pulver was whipped.

But with Kim Couture!?!?!?!?!?!? Come on. Until they decided to go for the metal plate, they were thinking she'd be drinking her meals for a month or two. I'm sorry but that is most definitely "whipped."

I agree. I don't get it.

Maybe the doctors should have MRI'd her Brain.

Maybe they couldn't find it;)

[cjurakpt]
