this is why I think people who make excuses are pussies

theres only one reason he became champ. same reason as Machado. Heart. Don't you think there would be a hell of a lot more than ONE "one legged champ" in all the years of the NAACP if these "advantages" had any merit? he might have some beast strength but that doesen't take away the fact that he has ONE leg which in my humble opinion fuckin TRUMPS everything else. By a shitblast. the reason he won was all mental.

Let's cut off your leg and see how well you do. Not to mention how well you train, running a mile in ten minutes on crutches 3 times doing stadiums with one leg and every single wrestling drill with a single fucking leg. I hate it when people bitch like little girls and make excuses for a guy overcoming such huge adversity.

And btw weren't you the same guy who thought bjj doesen't work in street fights?

while i'm sure overall its a massive disadvantage, Andy makes a good point that weight wise he does have an advantage, i was thinking the very same thing.

and BJJ doesn't work in a street fight. sure you can choke the fuck out of whoever attacks you, but that useless when his friend walks up behind you and stamps on your head.
