yeah dude i mean what i say, I'll still watch 170 but I wont buy another ppv. who do we have Hendricks, GSP, koscheck, all boring ass wrestlers, the only interesting fight left for GSP at 170 is vs Rory Mcdonald but they train together and will not fight each other so yeah i don't see myself buying a 170 ppv for a long time.Quote:

Its weird when I read your post I ether think to myself, wow he completely nailed it or WTF is he thinking?Quote:

I think that was a bad decision even if you disregard the takedowns.
As to hendricks being a boring wrestler typically, i dont dont understand how we could be watching the same fights here, 6 knockouts in 15 fights a boring wrestler?
GSP landed many big hits on the ground, not a bunch of short elbows, he worked his ass over being very active in top position and GSP dominated standing up which was like 11 minutes of the fight. Diaz was completely outclassed. This was not a case of winning with takedowns.
Your right, the way nick speak or manages his money has nothing to do with fighting, thing is when a guy acts like such a punk and is so disrespectful to the other fighters and fans and doesnt repugnant shit like pretend to throw late hits, people are going to hate him and going to talk shit on any of his negative attributes including being a nearly unintelligible, ungrateful bitchy, punk. I never hated him until hes talked shit on his own team and coach and if you think about it his own brother as well. Nick diaz ha the same chance at beating anderson as my 2 year old niece. unless hes gonna bitch at him till he keels over.
One of my buddies did a thing called felony fights you might like, just street trash standing there and swinging at each others heads mostly.
koscheck does suck, cant believe hes above Jon Fitch in the rankings, I'm from fresno and although I never met him personally I happen to know hes an asshole.Quote:

Really? I have met Josh a few times and he was a class act. It's an act, he admits it's an act. Stopped talked and was really cool, even took picture with my little cousin.Quote:

Lets see how quick you take that fight against a training partner that gets the upper hand against you in every session. See how you get through a fight camp when you have that in the back of your mind the whole time. ;)
you didnt see above? The operative word was "know" but yes you can not know someone personally and know that are an asshole, guess what Im thinking right now. just kidding, like i said above i still should have wrote it.Quote:

I have to say If I was offered a fight for money against one of my training partners, that is better than me, I would still take it. I think, it matters what you get paid to lose and if I had to cover my own health care.
LOL you would take a fight against a much better training partner? LOL Why? Aren't there any other people with your experience level and weight out there in Cali? If it is for the UFC title, yeah OK I can see that, but for just a regular fight that would be fucking stupid. Why risk the relationship? There are plenty of other dudes out there to fight.Quote:

Sorry but the whole 'I will fight anyone, anytime, even my mum' kind of attitude doesn't fly with me. OK you may fight them, but you likely wont be the same fighter you are against someone you don't have a relationship with. Happens all the time, even on TUF when 2 team mates have to fight nearer the end of the season. They nearly always say they feel like they held back a little. Subconsciously. Like Jones said he did with Rashad. Freakshow and Norman Parke etc. So imagine that with a full time training partner. I find it highly unlikely that NEITHER of you would be affected by that. Even if only subconsciously.
Personally I wouldn't want to fight one of my training partners. Even someone I know I can dominate. We go through so much together every day, blood, sweat and tears. I wouldn't want to be the one to take their dreams away.
