"Snake" DIABATE talks about his fight against "Shogun" RUA

[JEANBRUCE1991]

A more accurate translation might have been better to understand what Cyrille wants to say.

But thx for this footage that allow non French speakers to look over it.

[Chromiumblue]

If he thinks being taken down is what lost him the fight, he shouldn't have entered an mma event

[jacksedit]

diabate was raping him in the standup, shogun was forced to take him down to win... anyone who thinks otherwise is fucking dumb

[thenewgeneration123]

@jacksedit This is true but then again diabate is great stand up fight at least at this time

[westerley26]

Diabate is maybe one of the best stand up fighters in the UFC, he is no good on the ground though.

[jrrail09]

SNAKE HAHAHAHA

[ajja18]

the translation is innacurate.he doesn't make any excuse.the thing is the snake was really better in the stand up department

[TigersEatEmos]

This was really dramatic!

[lukethebigmanking]

are people really trying to say jon jones is as good as cyrille diabate? at striking I mean?

[faridosbolios]

blacklabel67k lol

[PAYPAMAKA]

i hate when guys have to make excuses and shit. dont take the fight if you're not prepared, how bout that? and its mma. i dont care if you said one thing or another. its a fight and it can go anywhere. fuck that i would have went to the ground to if i was gonna get a win on my record and more money.

[mm436]

shame he got owned at ufc 120, he was probably injured or the ufc only gave him 2 weeks notice or something :s

[MPA2000]

So he says that Rua wanted to fight him standing up so he could prove he could beat him with his Muay Thai. After several punches and kicks, Rua decided to say F that and take it to the ground where he can win? Hmmmm.

[maxpower789z]

Man, no offense to anyone...but I've noticed a big tendency for French persons to complain about this kind of stuff

[sangwria]

he realized that now, with a better jiu-jitsu -and no stomps in the face-, he can come back in the scene

[mezaouihichem]

what the fuck is he talking about, he says that he lost because he came back from injury, he forgot thet this fight was after coleman fight where rua got a bad injury in his arm, so diabetic: rua also came from a very bad injury so shut the fuck up and take like a man.....

[gusto1978]

hahahahhaha his name is Diabetic LMAO

[foo3rdstrike]

@gusto1978 YEA I HEAR THATS COMMON IN AMEDICA NOT SO MUCH HERE!

[Kokainuser]

@gusto1978 no its not ....

[maxpower789z]

I'd like to see a rematch, for sure.

[TheWilliez7]

I've seen this guy fight a lot and yea he can keep up with Shogun and in Pride FC hr proved it but, Shogun is relentless and he will finish you off

Anyway Snake is not crying or anything like that the translations need to be fixed

I do want to see him more I haven't seen him in while cause I'm busy most of the time

I'm a fan of Shogun all the way tho!!!

[Necrown]

For everyone calling the Snake a baby, the english translation makes him sound a lot more arrogant than what he's saying. He was saying he's on Shogun's level when he's not injured, at as far as striking goes he definitely is.

[MrWattters]

Dont Worrie My Friend Your Time Will Come Cyrille And all of us Cant wait!

SNAKETEAM!

[GnarlyCharlie2000]

This was a short fight, but we got to see what Shogun's chin is made of... STEEL!! He has a hell of a chin for taking those bombs from Diabate and not getting knocked out. I never saw Shogun getting the short end of the stand up before this fight. Really strange, but Diabate has beasty strikes that not even Anderson Silva would wanna mess with.

[Bruno28201]

bla bla bla bla bla.....SHOGUN THE BEST LHW OF HISTORY

[warrior92ish]

this guy has the skills to out strike anderson silva am i right!! pass it on!lets get this fight goin

[seanydevlin]

@warrior92ish thank youuuuuu! everyones on shoguns dick when they dont even kno who this guy is so they consider him a hack

[nodirbekable]

cool guy! great fighter! just awesome!

[colossus20]

@salmandini:

you have some answers to your questions on the "fight finder" of sherdog;com ;-)

[salmandini]

@kliffdiver

I didn't know who he was until Saturday night, did some research he's a tuf dude with some sick standup. You know what his ground game is like?

[Kliffdiver]

A lot of people don't know "The Snake". He hasn't been properly exposed to the casual crowd. Now he's won his UFC Debut, and I'm confident were going to be seeing a lot more of him.

[sangwria]

I'm a big fan of Shogun but it's obvious he had to take Cyrille down and stomp his face not get raped.

[cprince305]

@sangwria It's called being smart, brain surgeon! Fighting your opponent where he is the weakest. Shogun was simply better, Shogun raped him. Now Cyrille is in the UFC and if he doesn't get to the top, well I guess he doesnt deserve the rematch.

[sangwria]

@cprince305 shogun said he would beat him with muay thai only.

you fail, bye.

[seanydevlin]

@cprince305 no shogun did not rape him, cyrille was doin real good on the feet until it went to the ground it wasnt a complete domination shogun had to take it down or he wouldve got finished standing

[jacksedit]

you guys are crying about how he said he could probably beat him in the rematch but the deciding factor was the stomps and soccer kicks (which are now banned in the ufc where they both fight) also, the snake was raping him on the feet landing alot of big shots because he is a superior striker

[PRIDEFC17]

God what a baby. He should not be crying about the fact that he got his ass kicked by Shogun, probably one of the beast Muay Thai strikers in the world and Shogun took Cyrille's punches and took his ass down and stomped him out. I want to see how Cyrille does against Luiz Cane though

[iCONicxxx]

@PRIDEFC17 haha ate your words didn't you??? cane got FUCKING worked

[PRIDEFC17]

@iCONicxxx God i love how fucking stupid morons on youtube like you are. If you actually READ my comment, you would see that i said "I want to see how Cyrille does against Luiz Cane though"......where did i say that Cane would win?

[rockkedd]

dont make excuses diabate u got fucked up

[VCthaGOATdunker]

0:40 to 0:55

Jesus Christ those were bombs. Shogun should really thank God for having a granite chin because he was very lucky he didn't get knocked out right then and there.

[indianrunner70]

Shogun can take a hit, the snake not...

[cyborgdata]

shogun dominated, he would destroy the snake ANYTIME anywhere, this guy is nothing compair to shogun, get real fuck lol.

[VCthaGOATdunker]

Shogun was getting kicked to shit in the stand up, so he decided to take him down. I lost respect for him when he did that, because he claimed he could beat Diabate standing, but he didn't.

[firdaus125]

@VCthaGOATdunker kicked to shit, but how did he get diabete to get on the ground and get stomped? it was from strikes standing up ... diabate is just a whiner typical frenchie just like that frenchie from TUF11 who gave up

[VCthaGOATdunker]

@firdaus125

Watch 0:57 the fear in Shogun how he immediately took him down after he was being completely destroyed in the Muay Thai aspect.

He wore Diabate down on the ground and that is why he won. He would have gotten knocked out if he didn't do that.

After saying he would have tried to out strke Diabate, I have no respect for this.

[firdaus125]

@VCthaGOATdunker i am still a shogun fan ... because shogun is a thinking fighter ... if you were in his position would you continue to stand up to a muay thai champion and get damaged? a win is a win, and he won by stomps so that is good enough that he didnt decision the guy ... diabate obviously needs more mma training... and it's not like he got subbed or gnp .. he had many chances to get the fight standing again

[TheSchoolWorld]

@VCthaGOATdunker, What are you talking about dude? This is MMA, not boxing. It's a chess game and you do what you can do to win. Shogun proved to be the more versatile and smarter fighter here. Of course he wore him down on the ground. Just like if you keep running into a wall. Are you gonna keep doing it or find another way? Shogun made Cyrille TAP OUT with heel stomps. He was the one standing at the end, how could you lose respect for him for that? Your definition of respect is skewed.

[VCthaGOATdunker]

I guess you didn't read my comment. Obviously Shogun is superior in MMA. The reason I mentioned for losing respect for Shogun is because he said he would beat Ciabate standing, and would strike with him fully. Then in the fight, he was nearly decapitated, and immediately after that he frantically tried for takedowns against the superior striker. If you're gonna claim to out strike a Muay Thai champion, then don't become a wrestler midway during the fight after getting your ass handed to you.

[TheSchoolWorld]

@VCthaGOATdunker, Your argument makes no sense because this is MMA. The lesson here is, "talk is cheap, if you're going to fight MMA, learn the ground game". If they were in a muay thai fight, yes, you'd be right. Shogun didn't say he was ONLY going to use Muay Thai, just watch the fight vid, even the announcers say that Shogun had never even seen tapes of cyrille before, so obviously, shogun was just hyping the fight because all he knew was that the other guy was a Muay Thai fighter too.

[B0l0joe]

the stomps were seriously brutal. good win by shogun.

[TheRoach86]

diabate makin his ufc debut against luiz cane cant wait to see that

[blacklabel67k]

all i hear is WAH WAH WAH WAH

[Shinobu388]

even if*

[Shinobu388]

I am sorry guys but if Shogun is really great and maybe will be the next ufc champ, Diabate is a bad dude, and I can assure you that if he trains properly, he will be one of the best...

[RespekTV]

thx for the vid and the translation!

[frankzombieuk]

SNAKE Squash Soup

[jmvacromo]

I reallly like the shorts Shogun was wearing for this fight!!

[neypicachu]

shogun destrui nessa ai! foi tanto pisao q ce tah doido!! u cara eh bom soh q no chao ele nao sabe nem mexer!! ele em pe tava na vantagem mais depois q foi pro chao jah era shogun anikilooouu

[jmvacromo]

[dixon0023]

Diabate was winning standing, but on the ground he was no match.

[jjkkllqaswqdqasqwd]

killed by shogun

[TheBruceeta]

shogun killed thislong weak guy

[jmvacromo]

and Shogun without coming back from an arm injury would had rape u u f.cking shinggy..

[KitchenSpeclol]

@jmvacromo im a huge shogun fan but you got to admit, cyrille was taking it to him standing up.

[qazwsxedcrfvg123]

@jmvacromo injured arm? so he was not good enough to protect his arm in the first place.

Look, Diabate speakes respektfull enough of the other fighter. And does not call him dipshit etc. So go fu.ck yourself or if you like...

[jmvacromo]

@qazwsxedcrfvg123 oh shut your quiche-ass u little fag, Snake is giving stupit excuses about Shogun talking about keeping the fight stand up, and then saying "I tapped I'm not stupit" neither is Shogun dumb bitch, that's why he stomp your ass.. so shut up.

[qazwsxedcrfvg123]

@jmvacromo yes, you are absolutely right, you big fag.

You are not allowed to talk or express your opinion in any way. If you do, moron - you are a dipshit.

Fuck off, dick-face.

[MrShogunRua]

jajja escusas!!
