Bigg Rigg Appreciation Thread

[Mondo Freaks]

He stopped Jon Fitch when people thought only GSP could beat Fitch. That was a huge moment in the UFC imo

 

[Bill Laimbeer]

This thread called for the real Big Rig.

 

[in the liver]

Was always a bigg riggs fan...interesting to think about his problems now. This year i am being super disciplined with my training and diet and yet my weight loss is going slower than it ever has in my life before. All i can put it down to is that im a year older than i was last year :| i guess your body really does change at a point. Poor johny

 

[JC ATOM]

already got two pages on this topic...wow..i didn't think he was worth all that appreciation

 

[MMACroatia]

Always was a fan,too bad he got robbed aganist GSP,but thats not the only fight he had where you can make a case of robbery for or aganist him.Guy's got a crazy chin as well winch help'd him a lot to win some fights.

I still remember when the man went through WW like a hot knife through butter then gave the then invincible looking champ the fight of his life.

 

[Paynebringer]

Appreciation for what?

 

[PlatinumAmerican]

Idk big rigg obviously beat GSP in my opinion but the way wonder boy starched him was just awful he beat the shit outta johnny. I'll still watch him fight these days though.

 

[2GunTommy]

Are we appreciating pre USADA or post ?

From the GIFs in OP I'm guessing pre ?

 

[UJustGotChaeld]

Dude would have won gold vs. Usain Bolt if they put a guy trying to get a random sample from him back in 2012/2013. What other MMA fighter could beat Usain?

 

[UJustGotChaeld]

too bad he got robbed aganist GSP

Another Sherdogger who has no clue what a robbery is and thinks losing a coin toss is a robbery.

 

[dildos]

yeah im still a fan of big rigg.

he got so demoralised with decisions that didnt go his way, specially after the second lawler fight he really was like 'fuck it'...

hopefully he finds some sort of motivation and can rejuvenate his career at middleweight.

That was no coin toss.

 

[knock_you_out]

Post-USADA Hendricks = 70% Pre-USADA Hendricks

 

[UJustGotChaeld]

That was no coin toss.

So you think GSP won easy? Eh.

 

[RockyLockridge]

I don't think there is a fighter im happier to see lose than Bigg Rigg.

 

[RockyLockridge]

So you think GSP won easy? Eh.

Honest if you just score the fight round for round, It's pretty easy to score it for GSP.

 

[Evenflow80]

I really do wonder if it was PEDs, aging , loss of confidence, or poor diet that led to Johnnys decline. The guy used to be a monster.

 

[UJustGotChaeld]

Honest if you just score the fight round for round, It's pretty easy to score it for GSP.

I too think GSP won, but the first was close.

Poor Johnny. No roids and he can't cut it any more. He is the UFCs biggest complainer
