Same I really haven't seen it since I was a kid but I loved it then. Also loved only the strong as well.
 
Dont start that shit.
Fedor will send lightning bolts from stary oskol
The one who made the original idiotic comment is the one who is starting it.
Disrespectful to real fighters.

Bruce Lee and Martial arts are inseperable. Sorry you had to hear it like this bud.

Cruz deserves more respect and solidified his HOF, top tier bantamweight career by coming back after multiple leg and hand injuries and beating TJ in his prime. He had no real shot in my mind, and to just overcome all of that mentally speaks to how strong and determined Cruz is as a person. That comeback alone is the icing on the cake. He's still the best 135'er of all time in my eyes.

I know he is past his prime and his second run was very short lived, but he lost a career's worth of fights due to injury. He had no business even being competitive with TJ in his comeback. His style shows his intelligence and physicality. Almost no one could replicate that successfully. If he didn't get hurt, he adds at least a few more defenses to his resume.

His quality as a commentator - which you can all contest - speaks to how smart he is. Cruz is a bad ass. Plus he punks that idiot Rogan often.

Def watch that first video if you have time...its super insightful and I come away from it changed. Armed with newfound knowledge and point of view.

Bruce Lee and acting*

Also its text, I can't hear it, I'm reading it.
 
Dillashaw definitely didn't lose that fight. Don't think Cruz lost either. That fight is the definition of what a draw looks like.
TJ looked far worse for wear after the fight. I don't remember who I thought won after the fight but I do remember being happy TJ lost.

Its funny that such a close fight had only 1 round scored the same on all 3 judges cards. And having two 49-46 scores but one for each fighter. In the end I was happy Cruz won because I got to see Garbrandt vs Cruz in Vegas. Even met Faber at the PUB 1842. I did the one thing I swore not to do in a photo with a fighter.....I did the fist thing. Faber did it so I did it too.
