The curious case of Dan Wheatley..

[Chronicsonic]

What's with these guys with ridiculous records, someone made me aware of this guy earlier



What posseses a man to carry on after losing so many times? not just losing but being constantly finished as well?

I know some fighters such as Bob Sapp get paid alot of money just for showing up and don't really care if they win or lose, but this guy.. who's letting him fight still shouldn't someone step in and tell him it's not for him?

Of his 25 loses he has 6 from Travis Fulter who finished him with strikes within the first round every time, what the fuck ? there's plenty of other fighters with records like this and it makes me wonder, are they doing it just to get paid or do they actually take themselves serious and hope to get better?

Best guess is they need the couple hundred bucks they get to lose

The bigger question to me is after travis fulton beat him five time did he really feel a need to accept another fight with him ?

Fulton has finished a few guys like this, he has fought like a bunch of guys 5-6 times in a span of 5-6 weeks and has finished them all in the first few minutes.

It boggles the mind.

It doesn't boggle anything considering the way you could build a record in the midwestern US.

The way he kicks his legs after getting TKO'd was the funniest shit.

Isn't this the guy that was rumoured to be car pooling to those fights with Travis Fulton?? only to get finished by him lol.
Oh MMA, how I love thee.

I think you're thinking of that other guy who lost to Travis Fulton like 6 times in MMA and 2 times in pro boxing for good measure, there was some fishy stuff going on with this dude...

But the Ironman was always fun to watch on cheap local cards full of drunk rednecks (in the audience and in the cage/ring), good times. Plenty of memorable action in and out of the cage.

Wish the Fulton vs Wes Sims rematch that was supposed to happen in 2014 on the Tim Sylvia vs Jon Madsen (TUF 10) card materialized, to bad the whole event got scrapped... Wes fought Warpath to get back in shape for nuffin'
