Wow, I agree with both of Chael's comments for once.
A lot of anti Sonnen people say that when they hear him when he is not trolling. If you hear more of his serious moments he brings up many good points in his interviews
Yes but it boils down to credibility and he has none. So, I don't really pay much attention to what he says, even when he makes sense.
That's what happens when you squander integrity.
Must be the TRT.
I have a Doctor's note though . . . I swear.
i love watching hendo fights...i definitely agree that he has one of the most decorated careers in mma, even in wrestling: being picked to represent your country in the olympics is a imo greater achievement than winning a belt in mma. As for being the greatest mixed martial artist, Anderson Silva is arguably got that locked for just be technically proficient and consistent. Lets face it, the last time he really beat was by chonan back in 2004. The okami loss was an accident, even though he dominated both fights, he tapped to chonan and knocked okami senseless, it was illegal but still dominated that fight. I think if you were to put dan and anderson in cage again...the spider will come out victorious because he has more to his arsenal of attacks. So, silva is still the michael jordan of mma.
am i the only one who thinks mark hunt would get destroyed by jds? people love to beleive life is like a rocky movie. they want to believe that a guy, who over a year a go was no where near a title shot, can beat the young phenom against all odds.... people gotta wake up, mark hunt would be moving in slow motion compared to jds, plus, EVEN if mark hunt was some how winning the standup, junior is a much better mixed martial artist than hunt, and could easily win on the ground. im a fan of hunt but im so sick of hearing people say "hes a bad matchup for jds" its bull crap.
if u dont believe me watch mark hunt vs melvin manhoef.
What about his recent win over Chieck Kongo? On a paper Kongo should have dominated Mark Hunt. However, Mark knoucked him out. In addition, Kongo was thinking about the tittle shot before the fight with Mark. So, I think Hunt has a reason to mention the tittle fight.
i totally agree with you, i think hunt stands as much chance as gilbert eyvel did.
