Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2006 Technically speaking, Jackson is on par in the stand-up department, though the size difference obviously makes that a non-factor. Also, I'm looking forward to Cote's, Dewees' & Rivera's reactions to Leben getting smashed rather easily by Anderson Silva. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2006 I hope they show them watching that fight live ala UFC 57 with season three. Rivera especially would be happy after lasting just over a minute with Leben. Any guesses on who the identity of the WW that challenged GSP? I'm going with Spratt or Carter.

That was the 1st thing that came into my mind. But honestly I wouldn't be suprised if it was Carter. And Spratt did lose to GSP, so many he wanted revenge.

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2006 Carter is a huge shit-talker and most likely thinks he can hang with GSP. Spratt got schooled by him and most likely wants revenge. *Goose-steps out of the room* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lt.

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2006 I can be away from my family for as long as it takes. Can I stand to be around Dana White and the Lebens and Hermans of the world for more than a week? Probably not. I also don't wanna sign a contract that essentially makes me a slave for three years.

It would probably be more worth it to go to Thailand for a year (cheaper), train with them (best strikers in the world), and become a badass K-1 fighter (pays more money than UFC) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DRH 502 Report post Posted August 17, 2006 Oh yes, it'd be so fun to go to Thailand where 120 pound 15 year old kicks can kick your ass...Fuck that shit those kids come out of the womb fighting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love watching a good Muy Thai fight. If I had any cartilege left in my knees I would've taken classes in it and judo just because they match my style (wrestling, grapples, straight ahead striking, more lower body power).

I respect that, he finally comes off as mature. They're gonna slow-burn the face turn of Shamrock over the next few months so when he loses and gives his retirement speech he can have the moment he always wanted instead of people booing him. Hopefully anybody with a brain still boos him though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's referring to Igor's infamous "victory" at Pride 7, where he landed not one, but two (then) illegal knees to Mark Kerr's head on all fours. The ref neglected to penalize Igor for the infractions and called the match, giving the victory to Igor, though it was later changed to a no contest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2006 To be even more specific, it's what Kerr said to an official backstage immediately following the match, proceeded by him trying to procure some painkillers, as chronicled in "The Smashing Machine." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
