GSP's character literally translates to dry rape, or the equivalent of getting raped with no lube

Dude that's actually Jiu-Jitsu in Chinese. Specifically the traditional style.

Well Stipe's would be a pretty big coincidence if what I translated is incorrect.

It's a good thing he's stayed with the team he started with then, else he'd need a huge and likely ugly coverup.

Phillipians 4:13

I can do all this through him who gives me strength

Jones obviously hints at selling his soul to the devil n getting special mma skills in return

Does anybody know what that tat on the right side of Chris's back is? I've seen it on several other fighters as well. It looks like the outline of the United States.

 

[RichardHarrow]

I wonder how hilarious this all must be for Asians to see. Imagine how ridiculous it would be to see an Asian guy with " team" on his back.

郁 Lush
愛 Love
蜂 Bee

Krazy Bee is the name of his team.

郁 is part of his name 山本徳郁. 海玲 is a girl's name. So it could mean he loves his daughter.
