It's thesis: heavyweights have one punch knockout ability, and no other weight class has that.
.
BULLSHIT.
.
My head is ringing with how stupid that is, but the easiest example right now is the Korean Zombie who did exactly what JDS did and took way less time.
You need not ever waste any valuable time again on the non-sense I write. Just keep reading the other non-sense published here, ok.
.
Why do you spend a Texas day reading the numerous articles, and post your opinion's to each today. I would like to read your take...article by article.
.
It can't be that you have nothing to say...
.
Also, Karma you need to consider to getting your own color for that Mohawk. Riding on the Outlaws trademark, and mimicking on Jones 3-Pronged stance - is getting to wanabee'ish. Since your last name is WaTT(S), try new colors based on the connection to lightening or electricity. Its a better way to brand that noggin, maybe consider Gold and/or Blue.
.
- On the 10 Biggest Upsets. Jon Jones VS Mauricio “Shogun” Rua should not have been on that list.
.
- On Ian McCall. I think a better idea would be to match him with Tom Lawlor. Not for a fight, but for a MMA comedy skit that would actually be humorous. One odd note that stuck me is with the new UFC 125 pound Flyweights, that is less than half a Heavyweight and less weight than a 13 year old?
.
As for the "...you are training 2-3 times a day every day and people are worried about you over training?" question. Not a bit, he is 2-3 smaller than a heavywieght, and thus has 2-3 times the stamina, and 2-3 times less effects of gravity.
.
If McCall reads this, I hope he excels in Australia. Also timing is great. But as Xenophon once said, Fast is fine, accuracy is everything.." bro.
.
On Fedor and SatoshI Ishii. Maybe Ishii should be fighting Monson, and not Fedor?
.
On Jon Jones being white. - If you think the haters are in the house because he black, maybe the better question would be what if Jones was jewish or Arab? Jones gets props for his interview. He spoke with modesty and respect for Machida. Its the time in that division he need show respect. He has no more legitimate competition there - only one last grudge match with Rashad. (on a side note, Ariel bring up Woody Allen - get the fuck out of town. Maybe Jones is a molester in the ring, but not with children - GTFO)
.
On Josh Barnett and wrestling. - might as well. Cormier is not going to defeat Barnett. Since the UFC is signing SF heavies, ever wonder why they have left Barnett hanging? I think its cause them are saving him for ringer once the next few heavies has an injury (or wants to do a GSP to duck a fight)
.
On never being a dominant Heavie in the UFC - I call bullshit on the whole "...Randy Couture is probably the closest thing ever to a dominant UFC heavyweight." Randy Daune's MMA record is a dismal 19 wins vs 11 loses. At best, he is the most hyped heavyweight in UFC history. He is a nice guy, but far from the most dominant.
.
On Cooking with Tim Kennedy. - 2’ish tablespoons of chili powder is for pussies. Nothing else to say, but step it up chef.
.
On Zuffa vs. New York.-
.
Quote: "While the arts are protected, no court has ever directly confronted the question of whether athletes have a First Amendment right to be seen in action, said Barry Friedman, a professor at New York University School of Law who is representing the plaintiffs."
.
Quote: “MMA fighters participate in live events for the same reason that an actor plays a crowded hall, a figure skater skates in front of thousands of live fans, a ballerina dances at Lincoln Center, and a band plays in a packed auditorium: because they want to demonstrate their skills before a live and appreciative audience, and interact with that audience during the event." (from paragraph 123 of the Complaint)
.
Quote: “Live professional MMA is not just a sporting event; it is also entertainment and theatre." (from paragraph 124 of the Complaint)
.
Hey Seth, you dumb fuck. I am not a attorney, yet he is my legal analysis - see anyone can talk and write about the law when on some dumb website:
.
The MMA Ban is Overboard and violates the First Amendment. Cockfight and dog fight promotions could make the same claim. The one hole is that chickens and dogs are animals, not humans. They have no constitutional rights.
.
I did not read the entire complaint by the UFC, but they fucked up if they did not include not only the fighters, but of the Zuffa shareholders impacted by NY refusal to allow them the right of their stage performances.
.
On Kenny Florian Back At Lightweight. - Nothing to say, after strike three, does it really matter if you get a 4th or 5th pitch? In Florian's case, Zuffa ought to send him and Hardy to SF to see of they can grow their game for a year or two.
.
On Masvidal fought with an injured right hand.- maybe he should wise up. Who blows a title going into the ring with a broken bone. Maybe he should hang out with GSP and learn how its done. Rethnking the fight, that might explain much. Tough but dumb kid. Wise up Jorge!
.
On Strike Force payouts. - pitiful that the UFC is suing NY for loss of income, and for the right of fighters to perform when the UFC is only willing to pay a man $3,000 for a televised fight. After taxes, that's really $2,000 dollars. That's about the same as a fighter working a month a Taco Bell, or a writer working for Cage Potato in a year.
