Remember me....Matt Lindland

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Anytime I see that name I just think 'tough son of a bitch'.

And KOing oneself...unfortunately.

I just think of the self KO & the stories of the stench.

Yes all those team quest guys were entertaining

Lindland's also known for the "quick tap" like he did against Bustamante--doing a really quick tap to get the ref to break up a submission and then pretending that it didin't happen so the fight could continue.

His protege, Chael Sonnen, tried the same against Anderson Silva, but thankfully the ref didn't buy it in this fight and Silva held it until a true tap came about.

This is a rarely soon good necro. The IFL was awesome. I wish they did a new series of those every couple of years. It was great to see those aging legends coaching and squaring off in some low stakes fights

Cool how Robbie places his feet right before he walks off

[ShinkanPo]

got beat two times in one fight vs Bustamante

Yeah Busta really schooled him in Grapling Busta took him down and barred his arm he fake tapped and lied.

Then Busta punched him in the fezz for all his troubles and guilotined him.

Too bad we didnt see Phill Baloney vS. Bostamante

Nice bump

The stories about Lindland wearing days old sweaty tights/trunks/singlets have been around for years, and Matt's never denied them.

So basically Matt was a human-sized walking ring worm with enough staph infection to wipe out a small country?
