When Bendo wrestled Thatch the general reaction was "woah welterweight Bendo is gonna be sick" when in reality it turned out that welterweight Bendo was extremely sad and Thatch was even sadder.

The football guy had just sucker punched a lady for not wanting anything to do with him and then Huerta, outweighed by about 150 pounds wiped the floor with him. Not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need. Plus, he had fun fights.

Same but for Ricardo Morias. He should have been an unstoppable jits monster. He should have been a household name. Action figures, blockbuster movie cameos, a line of oversized activewear. Instead we got a lot of nothing stretched out over too much time.

You've never truly watched a Tamdan McCrory fight until you watched a Tamdan McCrory fight with someone who had a huge crush on Tamdan McCrory. As my friend did throughout Tamdan McCrory's tenure as a bottom card fighman. He was a very beautiful man, apparently.

does anyone have any gifs of katsunori kikuno crescent kicking people's livers to powder? i just randomly thought about him today, i thought his style was going to revolutionise MMA but instead he decided to invite people to punch him in the face to prove the invincible warrior spirit of karate and his career fell off a cliff.

Bendo's entire career could fit here given before he was champion he was one if the most beloved fighters here, won the belt in very iffy circumstances, all but one of his defences were extremely iffy decisions, with the crowd booing him decided to spend an entire post fight denying a tooth pick existed, proposed in the ring to the loudest boos you have ever heard... and then just fell apart after Pettis choked him to death so suddenly the fams didnt even react because it was so sudden they didnt know the fight was over. What a strange career.

The Pettis sub was crazy, because he had so many fights where he got caught in a submission and just, didn't get submitted. It was almost a joke that it was a waste of time to try and tap him

Man, Dunc was such a huge fan of his style, and also talked up the taikiken kata Kikuno did, which started with this hissing kiai that sounded like he was gonna hock up a loogie. Random highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2DLv0B0NxA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYBlv1lm4-I His terrible defense in the UFC made me forget that he had some real dynamite in his hands.

Then he went out and made Brandon Thatch look like he didn't belong in the UFC (he didn't) and then faded off into oblivion. Bendo's career highlight is getting kicked in the face by Pettis jumping off the cage.

I went to college and had some classes with a guy named David Loiseau who did MMA. I know gently caress all about MMA, was he a lol guy, halfway decent, or kinda good etc.? All i remember is he came from the same gym as that St.Pierre fellow. And personally a really nice guy, ran into him a couple years ago and still remembered me, asked about my friends etc. stab fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Nov 3, 2021 |

Yeah, David "The Crow" Loiseau. He was imo top 5-10 in his era. So pretty good but not a threat to the best. There's always fighters who're regarded as good strikers, and he was billed that way. This is probably his most memorable win:

David Loiseau was actually extremely close to being champion. He got his shot at Rich Franklin when Franklin was the top dog, and while the fight is remembered for the career-defining beating Franklin put on him, three rounds into said beating Loiseau was still capable of dropping the world champion on his rear end. But he was never quite the same after the confidence-destroying experience of that fight, and then Anderson Silva showed up and basically every pre-2006 middleweight abruptly seemed ancient by comparison.

And who knew that 15 years later we'd still get amazing things out of Silva like his KO of Tito Ortiz.

This would allow your fellow warriors in the community to better address you and support your highly accountable warrior efforts. It was surely to be an online thing if someone other than Evan could be roped into making it for him. Sadly I don’t remember if he envisioned a real world component. Because I would like to have imagined Evan out there in the desert that would eventually kill him, but happy and surrounded by fat mma nerds numbered Warrior 2 through Warrior 35 or so as they sweated through their at the time hard to get Pride logo T-shirt’s. Maybe that is what he set out to look for that fateful day. His numerical warriors.

If I remember right, he was planning on starting it up in earnest after his trip out into the desert. The saddest part is that he said ahead of time, this isn't an Into the Wild thing, he totes knows the pitfalls and he totes prepared for them. And then he hiked 5 miles to the water source on his map, only to find it had dried up

Branko Cikatić. There is a name that doesn't often pop into ones head at random while washing dishes. But I'm glad it did.  I admire his last of respect for Mark Kerr and his stupid little fly tattoo. quote:Though the end came officially at 2:14 of the first frame, the bout took much longer than that owing to the stoppages due to Cikatic's deliberate fouls. After Kerr, the impressively-physiqued newcomer to Pride, wrapped Cikatic's legs and threatened to bring him to the mat in the opening moments, Cikatic hooked his arm under the ropes in a clear violation and refused to release it as the refs attempted to pry the men apart. Sorry that you died last year Brank, I hope you made it a miserable afternoon for the grim reaper trying to liberate your soul from your corporeal body.

Remember the Dog Brothers? The mma offshoot of LA based stick and cudgel fighters who would knock each others fingernails out with sticks and cudgels in public parks while wearing fencing Masks (sometimes) during that very late 90’s anything goes period of combat sports. Wow they have a Wikipedia page. With cited quotes from Tait Fletcher no less. I had forgotten about their -dog nickname granting scheme. I need to get better at remembering these guys.

Lyle "Fancy Pants" Beerbohm. The Jerry Bohlander of Strkeforce. Lyle is the one on the.... it should be obvious. Remember when he got his first ever t-shirt contract, back when that was a hyooooge deal, when Todd "Affliction" Beard was in the prime of selling those enzyme-washed hot messes for $200 a shirt and rather than wait for someone credible to and wholesome to sign Lyle, Lyle jumped on the first patch of screen printable cotton he was offered and it turned out to be run by the literal nazis of Hoelzer Reich and rather than disclaim his sponsor Lyle posted "I don't know, its complicated" in response to the question of will he stick with the brand of actual nazi woodcutter fashion garments. I mean sure he probably had car payments to make on an FJ Cruiser or something, but c'mon Lyle, you could have been a much better remembered guy.

what I always remember about him is that he was to Cody McKenzie what Keith Jardine was to Rashad Evans - McKenzie used to talk about how Beerbohm was the total loving warrior in the gym and how Beerbohm was gonna beat everyone up in the UFC when he made it there.

Tony Bonello was going to link his wikipedia but they wised up and delted it (also he spent most of his time editing it himself) notoriously the only guy to lose to the bull on Bully Beatdown his wiki accomplishments were about a dozen silver medals in BJJ tournaments, but when checking the sources he was secon in a weight class of only two entrants every time.
