Butterbean did pretty ok in Pride fc

[Yrat]

He was more or less 40 years old when he did his mma Career for real . He had a great Boxing Career and he was entertaining.

To bad that he never got the chance to fight Mark Hunt or maybe Fedor himself.

I mean honestly, will we ever see someone at 350 lbs at the age 40 with striking background in mma again?

He also submitted zulu and he ended his career with 15-10 in mma record.

No Cherry picking back then , he was there to finish his opponents.

 

[MarloStanfield]

Yep

 

[Sweater of AV]

Mark Hunt.

And there it is.

Ycan bless.

Idk about "great boxing career" depends how you define great I guess. Did pretty well for himself and could draw a crowd but wasn't elite and mostly fought in 4 rders. Lost to 52 year old Larry Holmes.

 

[Midget Boxer]

imagine him sitting on someone for a submission

Yama pit fighting, was the original ufc owner if I remember correctly.

He’s a specimen to be sure, to do as well as he did in cardio based sports looking the way he did. Makes you wonder how jacked he would’ve been if he got on roids and a good diet. Also with his build and lack of neck, he would’ve dominated in this new power slap thing.

My stepdad (who got me in to MMA and who I still attend events with) is one of those guys that hangs around hotels and outside the arena to meet people. So we got to meet a ton of guys over the years. Butterbean was a highlight, he didn't stay to chat long but seemed very nice and friendly. I always find it awkward meeting "famous" people, but my step dad is one of those autograph hunters haha

Butterbean should run against the guy, since the odds are highly in his favor to beat Sandy in their 2nd match.

 

[BigSexy444]

His fight vs Bart Gunn was legendary.
