Does anyone really consider Spike Carlyle an apocolyptic fighter or

[JayPettryMMA]

is his holy warrior mistique just raising his stock in the eyes of superior opponents and upper level management

i'm not referring to whether you the sherdog poster buys into it offcourse, it's more in terms of his opponents and by upper level management i don't refer to dana, sean shelby or even any high level promoters, the reebok sponsorships are what drive these fighters to sweat in those black bags they always wear in the sauna, no chance can dana make someone do that, we as human beings are driven by the desire for wealth, social acceptance, and once we hit our mid 30s our legacy (i'm not quite sure of carlyle's age). to me personally the latter would be meaningless as i do not buy into the afterlife aspect so who cares what people think after i'm gone but someone religious like fedor would for sure think otherwise which is why he trains so hard and i can't imaging anyone arguing the success of his labor, although i don't think carlyle is anywhere near in the same boat

but lets stay on topic, what makes Carlyle the threat that he is even though his skill set may be lightyears behind him

Can you just to give us a quick example of what he has accomplished via his mystique when compared to what he has done in the octagon at least on the average of his occasions?

 

[Ares Black]

If he wins in impressive fashion tomorrow, Spike Carlyle will be Threat Level: Midnight.

makes it almost sad to see what the ufc hype machine is able to do to some but not to others who are perhaps more deserving due to their determination and work ethic and most importantly SKILL SET

He'd have played for the other team in Mighty Ducks. And rocked a rat-tail

 

[Sage NorthGOAT]

Do they pay admins in weed?

So I just noticed Carlyle and Quarantillo both weighed in around 150 - is this a catch weight fight or...?

Likes are only for mods and green names.

Except for those green names the mods just took away.

Yes

 

[TerrorTimmy]

Yes

Thanks, I hadn't seen it mentioned but I've also been intoxicated for the last 2 months

 

[Ares Black]

On topic, I actually expect Carlyle to lose tomorrow, and any time he fights legit competition.

 

[SuperNerd]

Gawd those elbows are nice though
