Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2006 I wanted to see Randleman, but oh well. I'm a mark for nostalgia. Re: Bob Sapp; It was due to money according to MMAweekly. I don't know why he'd chicken out, hasn't he knocked him out twice before? Peter Aerts stepped in on thirty minutes notice. He was doing the American Commentary and they asked him, so he got up in his grey suit, and since he had no gear with him, asked Semmy Schilt if he can borrow his trunks (which is weird considering he beat him not too long ago) and lost a UD with trunks that said Semmy Schilt on the front and Golden Glory on the back. That man should be given a prize for stepping up like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2006 Joe Riggs is the uncrowned unintentional comedy champion of MMA. Hands down. Read the guys interview on UFC.com where he talks about how Hughes, GSP and Penn are at the top of the WW division and when he cuts BACK DOWN to 170 he'd consider himself right under them.

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cameron chaos 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2006 Randy Coutour was on King of Queens and used the rear naked choke in a bar fight on Kevin James. I think that was actually Frank Trigg as a bit of an in joke. Randy's funniest moment was when he was beating down one guy on a table, another ran at him, Randy threw the guy and then start being on him... then the guy on the table goes to get up, realises how the other guy is getting beat down hard so just lies back down without saying a word. Dan Henderson taking out his dentures was pretty funny too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2006 HUGE NEWS! Fedor's hand won't be ready until June, so Fedor is OUT of the GP, and is going to be replaced by Wanderlei Silva! http://www.prideofficial.com/free/news/det...p?id=1147928382 I guess Silva getting a bye makes as much sense as Fedor getting a bye, seeing as how they're both champions. Should make for some intriguing matchups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People seem to have forgotten how respected/feared Forrest was in Season 1, and for good reason, as he had already beaten a level of guys above most of the other competitors themselves. In other words, he was Bisping with a better resume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're one of those know-it-all pieces of garbage, do me a favor: skip this column and go walk in front of a bus." -from the InsidePulse dude who talks about the UFC I'd like to think that this was directed towards me.
