Comments
Manuwa will soon be in the UFC to take the LHW Belt. Jon Jones is awesome... but Jimi may give him trouble.
ED HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARDY
You like Ed Fardy? Ummmmm... good for you Alejandro.
Manuwa has to thrown to the dogs in the ufc first.
Good to see Winner get a win, always liked him. Sucks that Amasinger lost again. Walhead is really picking it up, Villasenor is has fought some of the best in the world and to KO him in under a minute is impressive.
Manuwa is not American....he will never get any real support on here...remember on lowkick a fight record doesn't mean anything ...instead you are a good fighter if you're American and have a big mouth.
"USA... USA... USA..." I get tired of hearing that at fights.
Me too but other countries do it, either tolerate it or quit watching.
Thats not fair highlife. Still to date my favorite style is Shogun Rua(Brazil)
Its not strange or out of the norm for anyone to hold their opinions on a fighter until he has reached the big league.
How many times has someone looked great, infact looked unstoppable until they reached higher comp? MANY
I replied in a previouc comment that Jimi is looking good in his past fights but he hasnt been tested off his back and no-one has seen his ability to take a strike to the head.
Purely based on experience that Jimi's had, I'll keep an eye on him, but as others have said, he needs to be tested and he wont sign for UFC yet.
Keep in mind, this site is not an American site even if its produced in English.
I know I wont stop your hatred for the USA, but your reply was not fair and stereotypical of a response.
When Jimi gets in the ufc the haters will start and when he beats a ufc fighter they will carry on ...how dare he ....
There are fighters out there like Hector Lombard who would clean out the ufc middleweight division but DW is waiting ...waiting waiting for signs they are past their best before He signs them...its like an insurance policy for his pampered pets.
If he kicks ass in the UFC (his year from now) I'll cheer him on.
Sorry to blow a hole in your hate process, but Im American and want to see the BEST fighters. I'll send him a thankyou note if he can dethrone Jones.
Im afraid Lombard cant pass a drug test and I think Dana knows it.
Maybe Dana doesnt like Lombard's terrible attitude and crappy personality. Hes arrogant and mean to others and thats not on camera and trying to hype, thats just him.
We saw Mariuz Zaromskis win a DREAM tournament and even I was stoked on this guy...until he stepped up and ran into Nick Diaz who made him look like a punching bag.(and Nick wasnt even in the UFC)
You guys have to be kidding on this guy right...
Manuwa is a stand up fighter...Not very much wrestling or Jujitsu. He is building up his name fighting nobodies...obviously he shoud have gone to the UFC. He gives up over a 10inch reach to Bones Jones. Jones is a superior wrestler, more athletic and a complete MMA fighter. This guy Manuwa has to contend with guys like Shogun, Rampage, Evans, Machida, lil Nog, Phol Davis, etc....Try taking their lunch away then talk.....
joey villasenor is washed up...No wrestling skills, BJJ..etc...mostly a stand up fighter... Thats NOT MMA
