Arlovski would murder Monson 3 times before Jeff hit the ground, headless.

Horn is out, and likely to replaced by Salaverry.

MMA and/or catch wrestling enthusiast who incorporates sloppy submission moves and mannerisms into their matches. What... really? Several, huh? Nevermind.

Misaki via side choke.

http://www.spiketv.com/#shows/ultimatefigh...jhtml?open=bios I'll add thoughts on the guys I do know when I get a chance.

If you believe Rudo, then yes. Not even Rudo believes Rudo on that one.

Maybe if Genki spent less time planning his entrances and more time training he wouldn't look like shit against suckass competition. He's slowly falling from "wasted talent" to "never-was."

Rob is still not quite a UFC caliber fighter, and though he's improved a bit from his awkward early days in the sport, the UFC only recently brought back their 155lbs. lightweight division.

Bite your fucking tongue. THE IFL WILL REVOLUTIONIZE MMA! WAR PITBULLS!!! WAR PATTERSON!!!111

Lodune Sincaid: Gokor's favorite lush. Anyways, the writing was on the wall in regards to Irvin's lack of grappling skills, but even a few guys like MSIA thought Bonnar would be dumb enough to buy into his own words, stand with him and get crushed. However, they obviously forgot that Stephan is all about the superfluous subterfuge.

Irvin was recently defeated by Lodune Sincaid in the WEC, thus not only proving he has no wrestling game whatsoever, but further humiliating Martin.

Well not only does risk/reward need to come into play, but also a matter of simply who can pull said moves off. It takes a hell of a lot more athelticism to properly throw (much less land) a spinning back kick than it does for an overhand right. - On Telligman: the lack of a pec doesn't seem to have effected him much. While hardly a top level fighter, he's shown good stand-up skill and power, and actually competed as low-level pro boxer. Of course, such things have led to the inevitable "Imagine what Tra could do with TWO pecs!" jokes, which still happen to be funnier than the "Sapp with another year of training" jokes.

You heard me.

Oh, snap! 15 minutes of Sherk humping little guys against the cage? Sh'yeah, boi!

The thing is, Royce never had a destructive force like Tank to overcome. The closest guys he had were Kimo (who never accomplished much within the Octagon and yet was still able to handle Royce in such a manner that he couldn't continue in the tournament) and Severn (who outside of his size and onetime double-suplex never instilled much fear or intimidation in people). Tank was the most consistent barometer to show that while always dangerous, a strong headhunter with knockout power is still going to get beat by those with the right skillset 95% of the time. Again, Randy was infinitely more important in terms of his impact on the UFC and Mixed Martial Arts competition, but he never really proved nor disproved anything in regards to fighting in general like Tank did. EDIT: Or everything Naiwf and Special K said.

You'd be opening a whole can of worms that is still being discussed to death on martial arts boards. A few points consistently brought up: - Sport fighting's rules and training within those rules can hinder someone's effectiveness in the street, where there's any number of X factors a sport fighter probably hasn't trained for (multiple opponents, weapons, dirty moves, etc.). On the other hand, though the efficiency of them is very much in question, most traditonal martial arts have training and techniques for such situations. - Many people still hold on to the old notions that what they see in old kung fu movies will work (as opposed to right cross to the nose), and that there's some old, Chinese hermit out there somewhere who would beat the shit out of everyone. - In contrast to the above point, there's been a recent surge of martial arts "getting back to their roots," which is to say practitioners feel their arts have been watered over the years by McDojos and that they're now training in the fashion that made these arts effective in old school Hong Kong rooftop fights. - Many people who train in martial arts never actually get the opprotunity to test their arts outside of the dojo, and hence never get reinforcement (positive or negative) about their skills and style, whereas even in training, most people who train in sports arts practice in a live fashion amongst other people who've fought/competed regularly, or do so themselves.

Rob McCollough vs. Olaf Alfonso

To expand on what naiwf, Tank managed to challenge the preconcieved notions hed by 2 different types of people: - Your traditional martial artist who assumed that size doesn't matter, and that your average martial artist could handle himself against a seemingly unskilled, out of shape brawler. However, using his size, strength and some rudimentary boxing & wrestling skills (two arts looked down on by TMA'ers up until recently), he was able to cave in the skulls of almost any mediocre chump thrown in with him, and it became obvious that'd it'd take more than some black belt with no real fighting experience to beat him. - The other type was the kind naiwf refered to, that being someone with a more "western" view on fighting: the biggest guy with the hardest punch would lick anyone else. At first, Tank seemed to confirm this notion as he tore through Matua & Varelans, yet when he stepped into the cage with a guy half the size of those other guys and himself (Oleg), it was shown that there ARE answers to someone like Tank (unlike his proponents would), but they would not come as easily nor in the manner some of his detractors(/TMA'ers) would imagine. Eventually, he also became the face of old NHB fights vs. the modern sport of MMA. Whereas Tank was an oft-out of shape, shit talking brawler who refused to evolve with the sport, the modern MMA competitor is usually classy, in-shape and a well-rounded fighter. I'll probably add more later.

Uploading the fight as we speak.

"Razor" Rob McCollough nailing Crazy Meth Jesus with the Spear of Longinus is your early leader for KO of the Year.

Tank was more important as it relates to the martial arts, fighting and people's views on them, whereas when it came to the UFC and the sport itself, Randy was more important.

People would probably care more if: 1) Jens hadn't let himself play undersized job boy in PRIDE. 2) His "superfight" opponent hadn't just got pwnzered by Urijah Faber. 3) IFL wasn't going to fold quickstyle.
