That Yair strike was last year???? Wow.

It's gotta be Jorge. I don't like the guy. But that clearly had the most significance.

Again I'd like to strongly suggest GIFs or at least links to KOs and submissions.

Picked Jorge because it's the one I can remember most vividly.

He thinks he's delivering justice. He thinks that the Universe is behind him, putting Askren in his palce because he talked ****.

Also, he has said that he teaches his kids never to take disrespect, and to not be afraid to kick peoples' asses ifthere is disrespect. "Because the world needs more of that" (paraphrase). This was on either the Joey Diaz pod or on Rogan. Just some idiot thinking about letting people disrespect you and how it's the fall of civilization if you don't have the threat of violence and allow people to yap.

America is definitely suffering from a lack of impulsive violence.

I agree with this post.

That said, if I ever make my way to Canada and run into you in person...well, let's just say you better keep that same energy.

I feel ya but believe this is an act to build up his persona. Even if it's not, getting moral with dudes who grew up on the streets and literally made their lives fighting in backyards really isn't what I'm here for.

Don't get it twisted. I wear karate pants and a tank top 12 months a year just praying a grappler shoots for a double. Switch knees at the ready.

Jorge has definitely displayed a lot of low class this year, I've done a full 180 on him. Not a fan anymore.

He gets my vote.

It's funny that seems to be a common sentiment among longtime fans. You can probably find posts on this board of me rooting for Mavidal vs Melendez in Strikeforce.

Lots of Susan-come-latelys though, to make up for it. :lol:

Voted for Masvidal just for the magnitude of the fight and the fastest knockout in UFC history.

Rakic' knockout of Manuwa were the cleanest and most beautiful technical knockout. Right uppercut on Manuwa's jab, faked a left hook and came up with the left highkick. Manuwa didn't see it and knocked him out cold.
