Lei Tong

I know him better as "that guy who owes me 20 bucks."

Frye is one of the more overrated legends in MMA history, IMO. He basically succeeded because he was a decent wrestler when no one knew how to wrestle, and a decent boxer when no one knew how to box. Goodridge was probably his best win, though he struggled with him the second time and it was Gary's lack of heart and conditioning that won him that fight. He got his shit absolutely smashed by Coleman, and after purposely working his UU2 bout with Hall so as to better his chances, still got beaten up by Tank until the fatass tripped over himself, allowing Frye to get the choke. After his tenure as a pro wrestler, Frye came back at a roided 240lbs, and underwhlemed again. His resume since returning: - A DQ win over Gilbert Yvel - A sloppy win over K-1 fighter Cyril Abidi (who would later lose to Bobby Ologun) - A close fight with fellow washed up "legend" Ken Shamrock (who has lost to every decent fighter he's faced since coming out of retirement himself) - An win over perennial whipping boy Yoshihiro Takayama in an overrated fight - A 5 fight winless streak against Yoshida, Coleman, Nakao & Goodridge - A confidence booster against the winless Akebono (who still managed to win the first round) - A draw with journeyman HW Ruben Villarreal

Also, IIRC, Lampley eventually mentioned that even had whatever judge scored the final round for Taylor instead of winky, you'd still end up with a majority draw.

Taylor's cheerleading squad (HBO) pissed about the last round getting scored for the wrong guy? Oh, the hypocrisy.

Jim Lampley suckling on Jermain Taylor's scrotum. Oh, watching? Taylor/Wright.

*sigh* I'll shut up about guys outside of the Big 2 and go back to watching the fight.

Dude, Aaron Riley. No contest. Nog actually protects his chin sometimes. Riley doesn't.

Well, I was trying to get over the fact that Luiz isn't in the same class as some of the guys already mentioned... but no, it doesn't.

Gomi's getting choked face > Azaredo's KO losses

5 minute rounds were around by UFC 22, IIRC.

Dude, Palling was beaten so viciously in his last few fights I don't think even his fans want him out of retirement.

Murderous high kick from Hiroyuki Takaya leaves Palling stiff legged on the mat, his arms in the air and jaw an inch to the left. Murderous straight left from Jens Pulver faceplants Palling on the mat, limp, with his left foot humoursly left dangling on top of the bottom ring rope. Thread over.

They bought the UFC early in 2001 (I think 30 was their first show), and have been had the rules instituted since around that time (of course, mostly minor changes were made at that time, IIRC, as the UFC had slowly changed their rules throughout their time with SEG).

The correct answer is Stephen Palling. Thread over.

Hopefully the new (though possibly temporary) Team Punishment spends less time partying than its predecessor.

Probably me. Easily the coolest fighter I've ever met, and even people who hate him usually have nothing but good things to say about him, though usually followed by "..if only he didn't act like he does on camera."

"I'll most likely kill you in the morning."

...so how can anyone still respect Shamrock in the least? I mean, the guy is literally a dillusional egomaniac.

So what's that so far? 9-3 Tito?

Bisping is so fucking raw.

Bisping's Princess Bride reference just saved the entire night.

Jesus. Josh won via Jesse's gassed shot. Fucking great. Fucking Noah.

Well, Haynes sucks. His only hope is Jesse gassing hard. Also, after I called for Jesse to turn his back control into an arm triangle, MSIA coined this phrase: "The Shaolin Illusion" - The condition of seeing an opening for an arm triangle choke which is possible for no fighter in MMA except for Shaolin

Well, Ed still managed to look mediocre even in victory. Where the fuck was the guy who gave Misaki trouble?

Fucking commercial breaks. So... Angle's choke sucked, huh?
