Hughes and Penn were not broken. They were ****. Tony, I think, must be on some schizo or autism spectrum. But BJ and Penn didn't bring that kind of mental illness to the table, I don't think. This is trauma caused by, not correlated with, the sport.

My only concern for Hughes is that he doesn't ruin a train conductor's life.

I don't think its fair to say it attracts broken people.
Every sport has issues like this. Athletics is filled with highly fueled testosterone characters. They tend to get in trouble.
You can find just as many bad apples in the NBA and NFL for example. Derrick Rose, Kobe, Luke Walton, Mike Bibby all have sexual assualt or Rape cases against them. Jason Kidd, Ruben Patterson, Zach Randolph etc etc there's plenty of bad apples to name, and these guys have the money for it not to go public.

There are people in every career field who have had sexual assault cases against them.

Jon Fitch is **** awful. Go away Jesus. One just needs a five second gif of Fitch in closed guard landing pillows to the body to encapsulate his entire career. There can't be a more boring fighter in MMA.

Sounds like no Lesnar and we get DC vs Stipe 2 in August.

Glad Brock isn't coming back, he's over 40 now and doesn't look good. If PEDS were still allowed, it would be interesting, without them, no thanks.

About damn time! DC, you can run no longer!! Stipe will get that belt back!

If he loses, I imagine he retires, or do you think he takes one more fight to try and end it on a win?

DC knocks him out even quicker this time. GOAT HW goes out on top.

Do you have a favorite angle?

It wasn’t DC’s idea to fight Lesnar, it was Dana White’s. Considering who DC has fought, it’s laughable to say he’s run from anyone. The only one you could make a case for is he doesn’t want to fight his training partner and good friend.

Coleman has only had one pillow fight in his entire UFC Career, and that was Duffy in a stupid matchup. His next easiest match would have been Anderson Silva, then Oezdemir. That's a good bottom three.

He's fought Jones X 2, Miocic, Rumble X2, Gustafsson, Roy Nelson, Frank Mir, Lewis, Dan Henderson. That's a crazy row of fighters.

In Strike Force he also beat TRT Big foot, Josh Barnett.

Guy has a track record that would give other fighters nightmare.

Yeah well the DC/Lewis fight in November was boring as hell. Should have been the Stipe rematch. He was asking for it back then.

Yeah the angle where this happened less than 2 minutes after DC poked him in the eye. DC got lucky in that one. You'll see. I guess you forgot about that. I'll give you a pass, short term memory loss from smoking that crack.

cowboyronnie · Post #737 » by **cowboyronnie** » Thu May 2, 2019 1:23 pm

You don't avoid that punch with vision. DC applied technique, Stipe couldn't respond.

cowboyronnie · Post #738 » by **cowboyronnie** » Thu May 2, 2019 1:31 pm

That said, DC has clearly been avoiding Stipe in preference for easy fights. And I was surprised he won the first (happily) and would be surprised he wins the second.

I want to make it known that I do NOT in fact smoke crack. I'm vegan and drug free outside of the occasional mary jane (which is about to become legal in my beautiful state of Illinois). I even try to limit my intake of sugary beverages!

Just to be clear, 100% crack free here!

That's a technique/situation they could both do with their eyes closed. When you're in that close, you're absolutely not relying on vision but rather feel/positioning.
