CHUNTY boy?? WHo comes up with this stuff??
No kidding, a Liger? Isn't that a cross between a lion and a tiger? Some nerdy Napolean Dyanamite fictional crap.
My money is on the big scary black man with tattoos, or the man to the right because just in case anyone hasn't seen 300 yet, beard = power.
Liger's aren't fictional. Google it. Several exist in zoos.
Ligers are awsome
Actually, There is a Liger in real life. I saw on a TV show they actually cross breed between a Tiger and a Lion and a Liger was born !!! it grew twice the size a Tiger or a Lion. You can google it if you don't believe me.
I hope after this season he doesn't have to change his nick name to
"The Pitty"
which is a cross between a pussy and a kitty.
' )
ill take the guy with the bandana!! Cause as everybody Knows just like anybody who slaps both there legs is an assain then anybody who wears a bandana to hold there hair back is a badass!!!
the mexican guy and the sgt guy didnt make it i dnt believe.
nordin sounds like something grom world of warcraft!
nice to see mick bowman a fellow scouser (from liverpool). bring on the subtitles! ha
that big black mofo
WOW! Most of them have a better record than Brock Lesnar. Some of them are too old for this, but I really admire their corrage.
Records in MMA mean nothing, i've seen a ton of undefeated 10-0 dudes enter the UFC, Pride, Dream or Strikeforce and get smashed.
Ps. Lesnar has only fought 1 bum.
i was thinking the same, i was waiting for more young hungry fighters that trow everything in but maybe we'll get a surprise
If fighters in their 30's were never given a chance we'd have never witnessed the amazing career of Couture.
I agree with you, but Couture got a somewhat late start in the sport in it's infancy. MMA is advancing rapidly, and there will come a time when it will be extremely rare to see a fighter make his UFC debut at older than say 24 or 25. Look at other professional sports. Rookies come into the NHL, NFL, MLB, NBA usually at 19-23. You see the occasional 28 year old rookie, but it's very rare.
MMA has advanced to the point where it will no longer be possible to pick up the sport in your late 20s and reach the elite level. There are just too many guys that start training MMA as kids now. It's just going to get too hard to catch up.
You must be 15 then..... Their in the prime of their life's.. Something you know nothing about.... Age is an excuse thing...
And you must be 60 then.... you are in your prime and know all about being at that age.
Don't worry, I am old enough to know something about that. When, for example, Couture started, MMA was different, now it is different starting at that age. As I said, I only admire those dudes who have some gutts to do it. Maybe, it is their chance for a better life.
I am just kidding about Lesnar. Honestly, do you really think that Lesnar can teach many of those dudes something that they don't know. They don't have that size and weight advantage.
Yh i kind of thought you were being sarcastic about Lesnar.
His wrestling technique is nasty though, their is a british guy on the show that may be on his team who would benefit from his training that's for sure.
I hope that you are right! It would not be fair to those dudes, they have hopes. I would give them a coach of their weight division. Otherwise, it is just like in one joke when a driver on a Hammer was trying to show how it was done to drivers on Corollas.
My bet is on C-Murder is gonna Murder EVERYBODY !!! GO C-MURDERRRR !!!
Wait... Which one is C-Murder?
Cookie-Murder--inspired by Sesame Street
Wait... ARE U SERIOUS ???
I would hate to be on Brock's team.......War JDS....
shamar bailey, myle jury, and javier torres are all good fighters.
some of those guys look way to big to be fighting at 170 i guess its only two rounds but expect some gassing. also while lesnar himself may have very little to teach other than wrestling prehaps work ethic too. his coaches are more than capable and probaly at a much higher level than they train with at home. ps dos santos isnt really a ideal coach either all he can teach them is basic standup maybe some bjj
torres takes it
bowman will be out to the first guy who takes his back, can't defend chokes, he's only there to give the brits someone to cheer on anyway
chuntyboy and ferguson look like the only natural weights, money on ferguson
sherdog says caldwells record is 2-1 its on here as 8-1 ?
I'd love to watch Brock curling like a ball, in the middle of a sparring session with one of his teammates....Im gonna crack a blood vessel by laughing my ass of with this marketing horse!
Will these guys do anything in there careers? doubtful. Will Brock v. Jr. be a significant fight? seeing how Cain would whoop both doubtful again. Will seeing Brock talk trash to a man who can barely understand him be entertaining? Hell Yes.
Will these guys do anything in their careers?
Forrest Griffin and Rashad Evans did, don't be so fast to judge.
Will Brock V Jr. be a significant fight?
Yes Jr. hasn't fought anybody with high level wrestling and this is brock's fight to prove he can take a punch, Because Jr. hits harder and more techniqual than Cain and Carwin (Carwin may have a slight edge in power as far as GnP goes).
& JDS has fought the best competition out of all of these men, so don't be so quick to judge just because Cain is champ; to be the true champ you need to defend that title; so the fight is a big test for both men.
Will seeing Brock talk trash to a man who can barely understand him, be entertaining?
Have you seen JDS do interviews the dudes english is pretty good, possibly even better than Brock's and i don't think either men are gonna talk trash because Brock got humbled by Carwin and Cain and JDS has always been humble so far in his UFC career.
was a joke dude, the majority of the fighters that come off that show don't do much anymore. The early seasons had some serious talent but the pool seems to be drained significantly now a days.
