Remember when Babalu landed a halfway decent shot on Liddell and stormed like a child temper tamtrum

[Goatenstein]

Of course I remember bruv, than he got his shit pushed in via one HELL of a shin to Face head kick, was one hell of a Win for tha ICEMAN

That kick happened in their first fight. Learn history.

 

[Rockapotomuss]

I used to get excited for Chuck Liddell fights. They were all good, except Keith Jardini.

I loved it when babalu held on the choke and made that american respect him

 

[chubbman]

Remember when he held the choke on Heath. That was glorious, chat shit get hanged.

 

[keylock21]

It's a shame that Johnston didn't get any good wins. He look like he had the skills and then there was the stroke back in 2000ish.

Horse meat, back in the day.

 

[WalkenWouldOwn]

Probably would have been better not to post that with a gif clearly showing his leg gently brushing by his head and zero connection with the knee.

 

[MPD-Psycho]

At the time Babalu was on a hot streak and wanted revenge for getting Babalu'd.

 

[AndrewGolota48]

He's forgiven for setting up one of the GOAT in-cage interviews ever:

The greatest comic minds in history have spent countless hours carefully constructing their best material, and yet I have never laughed from any of it as hard as I did that night from Tito.

The crescendo for me was when he said to Fedor "Let me tell you how you feeling right now". Imagine the confusion with the language barrier and all, Fedor was patiently waiting for Tito to tell him how he was feeling with his superpower of extreme sympathy.

 

[IsNormal]

sell smith too

I'm still surprised we haven't seen fighters faking getting badly hurt, just to be able to land counters, based on how well this worked.
(BJJ guys flopping to their back after every strike does not count)

 

[Rav7n]

I also remember when Babalu got cut for holding on to a choke for too long.

What a fucking prick.. Ill never forget that..
If he'd done that at gracie barra.. He be getting his neck stretched by lagarto or braulio or Roger would wreck him. In the places I've been anyway.

 

[Final Say]

Imo werdum watched that fight to help him gameplan for Stipe

LMAO!! Land one decent punch, run at opponent wildly and get finished for your troubles. I see it. Werdum and Babalu are close friends and training partners too!!

This is far too real

Not really though, Werdum was rocked when he ran at Stipe, not vice versa

 

[Final Say]

Someone post the gif of big John breaking that guys nose.

That didn't happen.

Was that the fight where the ref stopped the fight and the winner went berzerk at him?

fighter wasn't talking to John when he flipped out

i literally googled john breaks nose, and this was the first link.

 

[WalkenWouldOwn]

Not really though, Werdum was rocked when he ran at Stipe, not vice versa

No he wasn't.

 

[AJ Garcia]

"He called me motherfucker!"

This was the best explanation ever lol

 

[Just Creed]

This was the best explanation ever lol

Lol he had absolutely no remorse for holding onto the choke, as far as he was concerned, Heath had it coming. Savage

 

[Cazador]

I also remember when Babalu got cut for holding on to a choke for too long.

David Heath IIRC.

Well, nobody told him to headbutt his opponent at the weigh in's

 

[Final Say]

No he wasn't.

Uh yeah, he was. He ate a big right hand immediately prior to rushing at Stipe. He rushed because he was in trouble as opposed to rushing because he smelled blood.

You can watch the fight again

 

[rearnakedchoke]

Seraldo babalu

 

[Pequeño Corey]

I loved it when babalu held on the choke and made that american respect him

He teach the american hespek

 

[chiefwiggum]

I thought Liddell kicked him right in the forehead?
Or thats my memory
