Blackzilians? Are they the enemies of the Whitalians?
I think so. The first name just flat scares the hell out of Japanese people though.
Heck inspiration sure didnt seem to be the issue in the J-Lau fight.
Their camp has not been doing so hot, Big Foot, Rumble, Santiago.
Rashad is really the only one holding it down for them.
This pic reminds me of when Kevin Casey was doing press interviews for his fight with Matt Lindland- wearing sunglasses and smiling, lol. When guys do this kind of thing it usually spells disaster in the fight to come, lol. Did anyone see the Matt Lindland fight with Casey? I *NEVER* (and I mean NEVER) saw someone take a beating like that in their OWN guard. Lindland just put the beatdown of a lifetime on him. Rule of thumb: Avoid sunglasses and smiling until *after* the fight, ha ha. If you haven't see the fight, you have to see it!
What did I tell you? Never wear the hat and the sunglasses with a big smile untile *after* you win, LMAO!
since the blackzilians formed i think there record is like 2-6
Guillard was on the fast track to being a gate keeper before he signed with Greg Jackson.
Not that he's moved on from Jackson's camp, I expect him to go back to that direction.
doh. spelltard. I meant "now" that he's moved on.
Yeah, I agree 100%. I don't understand why he left after one loss.
I guess now I'm getting 'weaked' for being right?
I will say....if this was a white guy and the team was the Whitezillas...people would be spewing racism. But thats always ok when your black and in the USA
It's not "Blackzillas," it is "Blackzilians." They've combined Black and Brazilian, to make "Blackzilian." So, technically, it's the unification of two races, which is, in a way, the opposite of racism.
Besides, it's a joke. The camp is called Imperial Athletics.
I guess that makes sense. But Melvins as Brazillian as Im Santa Claus.
I see so much double standard where I live, its easy to mistake if it isnt.
