Your Paragon of Virtue

The big question is whether the movie will be worse than this thread. I say yes, unless WP continues to one-up himself.

I've been overrating TUF fighters long enough. If Loiseau comes in with the right gameplan (as he should) this should be a slaughter.

It was late, I saw it at another forum, and thought it would be funny to post it. If it makes you feel any better, much like how I would feel if I was smashed and fucked the chick in the picture, I felt bad in the morning.

Yeah but that was like what, 4 or 5 years ago? Cro Cop is much different now. He won't be blowing any more kisses I promise.

Not to mention that faggy good charlotte song or simple plan or whatever one. EVERY BONE I BREAK etc. etc.

NSFW - What Don Frye is doing Post-MMA:

I tried to find your HL on Youtube to explain the Machete reference, but alas, it was not there. Babalu has a better chance than Randy did at beating Chuck, at least for their third fight. Randy took Chuck down once, and remember while Babalu isn't as good a wrestler (though I think at this point he's close) he is light years ahead in the submissions game.

The best memory I have of Joe Son is him coming into the octagon after Royce dropped out at UFC 3, celebrating like he did something. Just out of the blue being the cocky sumbitch we'd later find him to be, and Big John (I think) telling him to leave. Koscheck is a bad matchup for Goulet.

This will make you pine for Rocky V.

BJJ is effective in a street fight because rather than submit him, you can just smother him, get a dominant position and beat the hell out of him. If he hasn't even heard the name Gracie, he probably will have no choice but to wait for you to stop. Brian; when you spar do you use a lot of your strength or do you purposely not try to overwhelm people and use technique? I find it hard to find the balance of being aggressive in technique yet not going crazy without any technique. I guess controlled aggression is the key.

Did being two years off make that much of a difference? I'm worried about being five months off now. How long did you do it before you took the two year break?

Lei Tong is a wannabe Otaku.

First off thanks for the info Brian. Well I'm not working with weights, I guess I should have pointed that out, I'm mainly concerned with the isometric exercises (I think that's the right word). Also I dont know if I will have surgery yet, so I guess I can skip the first level. So those exercises are supposed to strengthen ligaments, but do they work for the whole muscle group as well? So far I've only been doing wall slides and weightless squats, and lots of them. I heard they're good for ligament repair, and they also seem effective for building up the major muscle groups as well. I like some of those balancing exercises, I think those will work really well. Couple of questions, what exactly is an agility ladder? Also, what do you mean by "hopping back" in the running with resistance? It seems that you'd constantly be moving forward. There's lots about lifting in this thread, but does anyone have any tips regarding nutrition? I'm pretty clueless on how to eat right.

Well, that's what I figured, but I guess I just didn't find it that funny.

I'll be the first to admit that I didn't really get the Tupac skit. Is it supposed to be Tupac or some guy impersonating him? I don't get it.

Bumping this up for a quick question; I'm currently rehabbing my knee, as I think there might be a problem with my ACL or MCL (haven't had the MRI yet). What are some good ligament strengthening exercises? I have been doing wall slides and they seem to be working, but I figure some people here might have some good ideas too. Brian you do BJJ, you know the toll that shit takes on your knees.

I don't see anyone else around, so I must be talking to you.

What are you talking about?

Who has met you from this board?

With the Heavyweight division where it is, he's much more than a prospect. Too good for the lesser guys (finished Scherner, Silva and Eilers beyond convincingly). The only guys left for him are the top level guys, at least UFC Top Level.

If the guy isn't ready for Arlovski now, he won't ever be. They have to make that fight now. That seems to be the most logical, either that or put him with Buentello, then Arlovski. He should get a title shot within the first half of 2007. If only he were like 20 lbs heavier, and not in the Frank Mir way.

What's the Buentello rumour?

All UFC LHW? UFC>>>>>>Gay PRIDE

That card is looking much better than this one: Chuck vs. Babalu Loiseau vs. Swick FLorian vs. Sherk (For the vacant LW Title) Terrell vs. Either Anderson Silva or Nate the Great. The last three are rumoured, but these rumours for cards generally turn out true barring injury or something similar. It's amazing what a difference injuries to top guys will make on the quality of UFC shows.

Well then the thread subtitle is misleading. Your strike force sig makes it okay though.
