hahaha holy shit, right on gryffes. Brock does the same shit, he just lays on top of people with 265+ pounds of muscle

[Beleron]

What? My only problem is his body shape? apparently you didn't watch TUF nor did you read what I posted. GG though lrn2rd. lol at not having a clue what you are saying griffers or w/e you are.

u mad? lookinglikearmtnameassnigga.

but for real, do you even know what you said? More than half of your post was directed towards him being a giant lard ass, which he is clearly.

But you can't deny his BJJ blackbelt under one of the Gracies. (i think Renzo?)
He just utilizes his size, not the most exciting fights but hey a win is a win. right?

[Rhyis.]

He is a boring fighter to watch, no matter how you slice it. That's why I don't like him.

I don't care how fat a dude is, or even how much of a prick you are... So long as you're awesome in the cage.

[archibaldcrane]

Roy Nelson is awesome. Can't wait to water my lawn with the tears of the haters when he wins TUF.

[Beleron]

Sure you are right a win is a win, I won't argue that. It just isn't exactly fun to watch that kind of a fight no matter who is doing it, big country or any other fighter. And no I am not mad nor would I cry if he wins. If he wins good for him, I just hope it isn't in the same fashion that he has won previously. He did hit with some hard punches before he got on top of the guy and punched the top of his head. I wouldn't mind at all if he won in anyway other than using his belly to smother someones face. Although I think it was actually be terribly funny if he won because of a tap out due to his belly making someone not be able to breathe.

[Blarg]

Don't base your opinion of Roy on how he fought on TUF.

[dudeguy]

Base it on his wicked mullet

[Conformity]

He's got legit skills and his cardio is great for his size/physique. Your only objection is his body shape, if his name was dildoface gracie and he looked like a member of n-sync you'd be harder than Eliot Spitzer while choking a bitch.

Base it on his wicked mullet

/golfclap to both of you

Listening to interviews it seems like Kimbo tried weight cutting all on his own without any advice. He just changed the way he ate and when asked about weight cutting he said he didn't know anything about that. Unless he is just playing mind games that is pretty surprising. It's also pretty surprising how these kind of amateur attempts at weight cutting are fairly common. I can't remember the names but I remember hearing about fighters who would just barely eat anything the few days before weigh ins because that's what they thought weight cutting was.

[dudeguy]

I think he's full of it, he came in 3 pounds under the contracted limit... if he was having trouble don't think he'd be able to go that far but who knows

Did you only pick Wallace cause he's jacked or do you actually know something about him. Dude looks like a new Houston Alexander, way to small for the weight class.

Not sure if anyone follows K-1 at all...but the Grand Prix was last night. Semmy Shilt won the tourny in record time. He won twice by body kicks and once by legs kicks, all in the first round. His total fight time was less than 6 minutes for 3 fights. Overeem got head kick KO'd in the quarterfinal as well. I have seen Shilt fight MMA a few times and he's never looked very impressive, but he looked like a beast last night.

Everyone knows that titties are always the best choice.

But in reality I was never impressed by James Mcsweeney in any of his fights.

Especially if he was training at a decent level with Rashad at Craig Jacksons camp before TUF.

If titties wouldn't of had to face the darkness, he would of gone further.

[dudeguy]

K-1 GP last nite was great, way more finishes than I was expecting.

I don't have much faith in cool tattoos and muscles when it comes to winning in MMA.

I was going of the fact that McSweeney trains with Greg Jackson. Not just because he has "cool tattoos and muscles" come on. -_-

either way those titties are going to be distracting.
