Your Paragon of Virtue

The guy with the tatts is Mike Nickels. He's probably got as good a chancce as anyone. I still think Matt Hamill is the dark horse, but Tito made a mistake matching him up with his worst possible opponent in Nickels.

Yves should merk his ass. GSP would be a good coach. He's good at explaining stuff, is super patient, and is humble enough to deal with some ego-driven former UFC fighters who would assume that they don't need to be on the show to be back in the game. GSP would be best equipped to deal with the Johnny Drama type- "I am the fuckin' game pal!" What do you guys think should be learned by people wanting to fight MMA. It's complicated, they should do it all, but in terms of priorities? Personally, I feel it's ground defenses and wrestling first, than striking, than some more complex ground game stuff. As most top fighters these days have shown, strikers are making their mark.

Are you an MMA fighter? If not, I think you should shut the fuck up, because I bet you anyone of those guys would knock you the fuck out with a jab. Seeing as how he has fought MMA, I think that answers your first question (remember how LOTC talked about how sweet it was when a guy asks a question and gets the exact OPPOSITE answer he was hoping for?). His first answer totally negates your next query, since it had the presupposition that his first answer was a negative. By the way, he's right, most lower level boxers and MMA Fighters suck a dick. I know guys that have trained for quite a bit in good gyms (Tristar and BTT Canada being notable examples) that can probably take out a good deal of lower level MMA guys. Some of them post on these forums. I know it's standard to assume that we're all just keyboard warriors, but that just isn't the case with MMA. A lot of the guys do train. Okay, now that this little incident is out of the way, let's talk about how Danny Abbadi is gonna represent for brown guys everywhere and whoop cracka ass. TKD>You.

Awww, I was hoping he'd say he "Could take out any one of them. Why doesn't anyone want to stand with me?" I know after he fought Hughes, even though he was outclassed, he claimed that Matt Hughes really isn't that strong.

Not all fights are in the tourney.

What was so bad about Chav's post?

Weird matchmaking, but that's par for the course with PRIDE. Rua will make Robby Park cry. Baroni will make LT cry (again). Then they will have to fight each other. That would be AWESOME.

He's taken down some tough guys, I think he took down Penn, and he took down Menjivar, who while undersized is no joke. His standup is a little wild, but it is improving, especially if you look at his fight with Karo, he got him pretty good there. Also, I'm surprised Karo dominated the ground war in that one. Those elbows were probably it.

That move he did from holding Gomi in Turtle to getting his back was downright Godly. Why can't he fulfill his potential in MMA?

You probably know this already, but that looks like it could use some touching up.

I'm just saying, I saw this quote in some Sherfagger's sig where it talked about Sak being the greatest P4P fighter ever, since he fought men 230 lbs even though he could have cut down to 155 realistically. I know, it's bullshit, but I'm just sayin', I figured that coupled with the talk of a Saku-Matt Hughes dream fight that 170 was a good possibility. That would have probably had to taken place at 185, but if Matt knew he was only cutting to 185, he probably would have adjusted his body accordingly to be a big guy at that weight too.

Whoops, one more, this was a really fun grappling fight. Don't know how well it holds up now, but I'm sure it's still good. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B5PFOTIK Newton vs. Renzo Gracie

Well now that's just mean. Unless it somehow works, then you can say you got your first taste of pussy because of something a girl on a random wrestling message board did for you.

If you watch him fight Ricco for the first two rounds before the huge weight advantage wears on his body, he pwns him. Ditto Barnett, whose win is also stigmatized due to the roids. Ortiz lost one fight to the best LHW fighter in the world. Sliding into mediocrity? Hardly. Sak would get destroyed by most of the guys in the UFC's MW division, prime or not. Some feel he could have made 170 though, which would have been his true weight class, but I don't know enough to comment.

If he was a tattoo artist he'd have way more then that. Probably just some regular artist.

Watch a fight where the Quebecers reverse roles, as Menjivar is the bigger fighter who actually doesn't make 170, while GSP makes it no problem. Really fun fight. Georges St. Pierre vs Ivan Menjivar (UCC 7) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CEXWFJES That's it for now.

Okay, I just saw the ADCC match again. I don't even know why I should bother going for Jiu jitsu anymore, shit like that just demoralizes you.

Shoulda hit a wall in Canada.

Not MMA, but here's what happens when you take one guy who knows a lot about grappling and pit against a guy who doesn't in a grappling environment. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RRVCCKTN

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2EO9794B Frank Shamrock vs. Tito Ortiz. This might be boring to some, but I personally found it exciting.

I have to wait and see Hendo lose in the MW division before I see future generations shitting on him. If that were to happen, people today would think he sucked. Couture I don't know, he truly was top guy in the world at one point. No one can take that from him. Wanderlei has wins over a lot of small Japs, but he's got some big impressive ones too (Jackson and Arona). If he beats Lil Nog, then I don't see anyone shitting on his legacy. However, one thing they can shit on him for is the fact that in early 2003, PRIDE had Jackson, Randleman, Arona, Overreem, and Lil Nog in their organization...and Wanderlei never fought any of them.
