I missed this at the time but the best part of the Tim Catalfo story isn't even his fighting, it's what came after: quote:Catalfo returned to Florida for one more regional win in 2003 before retiring at 4-2--already 44, with his chance at the big leagues gone, it was time to turn in and enjoy a nice, quiet life of teaching and financial success across his multiple business ventures. never stop grifting

The blank spot is Josh Rafferty, who got choked out by Diego and knocked out by Karalexis in like a minute each edit: and yes, lobmob is correct, the top dude with the weird head was Lodune Sincaid

You're thinking of Lugz model No. 2, Houston Alexander. Was put on UFC 78 as a hype fight to elevate Keith Jardine, instead uppercutted him to death in a minute and got the "HOUSTON ALEXANDER IS FOR REAL" proclamation from Joe Rogan for murdering Alessio Sakara a few months later and then proceeded to never win a UFC fight again, lose a gas-out decision to Kimbo Slice and eventually retire at 17-16-1 (2). Also he did one of those completely stupid sports science things where they injected him with epinephrine and he punched a dummy while crying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZSJSB9W1iM

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.

Yeah, Ninja was the first Rua brother in MMA and he was actually pretty good, enough so that at one point he arguably beat Rampage in his prime, but he was an undersized dude who in a better place and time in the sport would've been fighting at 170, but it was early 2000s Pride, so he was a pudgy 5'11" dude who needed actual brain surgery to recover from getting battered by heavyweights, and then instead of retiring after his combat-induced brain surgery he decided to fight for almost another decade.

forkboy84 posted:The only song with fighters I will ever need: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8gPYZ2P31o You know, Jazze Pha is not a bad producer. Jazze Pha helped bring the world T.I., Ciara and Birdman. Jazze Pha produced hundreds of songs across more than a decade of constant, inexhaustible work. And then around 2007 he just sort of stopped, suddenly, and went from dozens of songs a year to a handful since. What on Earth could have happ--  Oh. Oh.

I was thinking about this thread the other day, as while driving home I suddenly went "hey, what's Zack Mwekassa up to these days," and then it took me ten minutes to figure out what I even remembered Zack Mwekassa from.
