Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2005 Here's hoping that Busta reverts back to the best P4P fighter in the world that we saw against Matt Lindland. I never saw a fighter deliver as good a performance or as dominating a one as he did in that match. I wish he could go back to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2005 I think age is starting to catch up with Murilo. At his age you've gotta stay pretty active (e.g. Hoost, Couture), otherwise your body is gonna play catchup like his is doing after being out for almost two years. I'm sure he was still training, but he needed to be fighting as well. As for the tourneys, fuck this is the best card ever, bar none. Quick predictions: Kawajiri over Gomi, Azeredo over Kotani, Mach over Pulver, Hansen over Edwards. Kawajiri over Azeredo, Hansen over Mach. Kawajiri over Hansen. Minowa over Baroni, Bustamante over Suda, Chonan over Hendo (very close decision, might change) Gono over Acacio Minowa over Baroni Gono over Chonan Gono over Minowa. Yeah, I'm picking a dark horse. If Hendo fights Gono, it would be a different story, as I believe Hendo could beat Gono, and possibly win the tourney. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
