Rating: ****

Rundown of the Rutten / Schultz fight:
Schultz and Rutten put on an excellent match, it was full of striking and a decent amount of ground work. Schultz shows again why his gym is quickly becoming one of the best schools around as he managed to lock on the figure four necklock from his gaurd position.  Rutten didn't see it coming and had very little chance to escape it. Hopefully we will see a rematch between these two fighters soon.

Rating: * 1/2

Analysis of the Sapp / Schilt fight:
Sapp was able to dominate the entire fight even though he gave up almost a foot to Semmy. Schilt did manage to thow a few knees that rocked Sapp, but Bob Sapp just proved too massive for Semmy Schilt to deal with. Sapp just threw hard  bombs to the head of Schilt and was able to knock him out.

Rating: ***

Sakuraba / Ruas analysis:
Saku got caught early with some hard punches and never really recovered. Ruas then took the match to the ground where Sakuraba tried fruitlessly to get things back in his favor. After a few more hard punches to Saku, Ruas was able to cinch in an ankle lock and pick up a suprising tapout win.

I always wanted to do the UFC/Extreme fighting circuit
when you make your edits are they shooter style moves? do you have a template that you use.
CarlzillaPosted on 04/26/04 at 22:23:19

I don't use a template at all. All the moves I used in the edits depend on the fighters style...Silva is a striker and I used mostly striking moves with a some submissions as he is trained in JJ as well. With Nogueira, who is one of the best submission workers in the world I used a lot of takedowns and submission moves with a lot less strikes. I used a lot of repeated moves, and no wrestling moves at all.
