Thats funny it sounds exactly like how you make stuff up to make him sound more intimidating. Then you provide vague quotes that prove absolutely nothing. Heresay and propaganda don't serve as evidence my friend. Tank was a gladiator and I admit that he prob had alot to do with my dad and I getting into UFC. He got destroyed by Kimbo though and that says alot in itself. You have talked about how good his book is but check out the reviews on amazon. You are in the nuthugging minority.

And now Frye is claiming that Couture threw his fight with Lesnar. I know Don is a popular character around here, but that rubbed me the wrong way. He can be almost as outlanding as Tank sometimes, but people take him more seriously. Lesnar wasn't a great striker, but he was a huge, powerful guy who happened to clip Randy behind the ear. There was nothing fake about that. The Frye-Hall rematch, on the other hand...

I dont mean to interrupt your expert summary, but maybe you should go ask your dad if he thinks it was the same Abbott who debuted in the UFC that fought Kimbo Slice.

I agree with you on that. Brock was the worst possible match-up for Randy, being a much heavier wrestler. Nothing fake about that loss.
