Also a goon who is a fairly well-credentialed muay thai instructor worked with him for a camp and he paid him in Team Punishment t-shirts.

Haha. That owns.

Remember when Ryan Bader was set up to crush and retire Tito by Dana and instead Tito won.

Tell me about Joanna Jedrzejczyk

She's Chuck Lidell, except she's talking like that because she's foreign, not because of extensive brain damage.

Probably both and it would have ruled, you can never have too much biggie

Yeah.

It's a bummer Conor went with that wierd El Chapo track for 196, because Biggie vs Tupac would have been incredibly fitting for that event.

We already got that with Frankie vs Faber, which was even more fitting because it was East Coast vs West Coast

Oh, you're right. For some reason, I always forget that fight happened.

The Jones/Sonnen season of TUF is the best one in the show's history, so anyone who hasn't watched it yet should probably check it out.

SBG in Ireland, of course. Kings MMA, which is where Werdum and Dos Anjos train and home to Rafael Cordeiro, and where Jake Ellenberger recently fled to from Glendale Fighting Club (Edmond's house of horrors) and TKO'd Matt Brown in the first round.

Jackson-Winklejohn's shine has come off a little bit of late, but they're still probably the best/one of the best in the business.

Oh right Rafael Cordeiro. He's supposed to be a brilliant striking coach right?

He is very good, but both of his most impressive/notable fighters just lost their belts via first round stoppages due to strikes.

Sadly there doesn't exist any video of the most important moments in his career: all his childhood bullying and throwing that brick in the loving river

lol, that brick story is amazing because GSP was completely earnest about it.

I also love Rashad Evans impression of GSP before a fight:

It's insane that arguably the greatest mixed martial artist of all time was basically just a kid that got bullied, was scared all the time, and decided to become the best fighter in the world to compensate for it.

His first fight in the UFC where Joe Rogan slowly slides from constantly talking up Karo Parisyan to just going, "Goerges St. Pierre is a strooooooong man".
