*"First time in 10 yrs a fighter said no."

 

[GODZILLA213]

A top 10 fighter who could have been top 5/3 if circumstances were different.

 

[Soul On Ice]

I heard that guy was a soldier or something

 

[MayhemMonkey]

a brady bunch sounding douche(technically its not fighter bashing anymore as he is now retired )

did you know he was in the military btw?

 

[SeattleFightFan]

huh. none of those. interesting.

like Godzilla, a top 10 fighter who was just about but not quite top tier. just a shade below "any given Sunday" status as the best of his era.

i do find it fascinating that only of your options (Bisping) and kinda another (Romero) has to do with actual fighting, and 6 (or 7 if you count the Romero controversy) doesn't. just another indication that most mma 'fans' are more interested in the drama? hmmm.

 

[Yari]

stool gate

 

[Xaero]

A badass and all american hero.

Deliverer of democracy.

 

[Epicness]

A perennial top 10 MW overacheiver who got too much unwarranted hate

 

[chukutee]

He did to USADA what Hitler did to Kennedy. Evade capture.

 

[FatMoiMoi]

Fucking wimp.

Considering he's a professional fighter and soldier, he does like to cry a lot.

 

[DS7]

I heard that guy was a soldier or something

 

[Prince Nephilim]

Cry baby

 

[KONE]

Insanely tough top 10 fighter in a murderous division, and an American war hero

 

[BjPenn2017]

Romero fight was his most memorable, for obvious reasons. I'll remember him as a guy who never quite reached the top of the mountain, but was damn close and had some memorable moments along the way.

 

[YoureNotAboutIt]

Proud to have him on our side. American badass.

 

[Persuadertron]

As that one dude who I always hope lost after hearing him on Helwani's show.

Man, I hated his sense of humor and way of observing things.

His fighting sucked.

 

[TrevorLahey]

The guy who dry humped Mike Bisping and made me change the channel.

 

[Deleted member 196663]

Glove Gate.

 

[Deleted member 501827]

Whiner, Romero, Soldier, in that order

 

[Toco]

a war hero that defended our freedom and the US in its toughest times
