Being 6'7 and named Tallison is kind of funny

Lmao badass!

I started watching MMA around 2007 or so, right as the Lesnar boom happened and man, a card was like $50-60 or so and you’d be glued to the screen. There’s too many cards now they’re watered down, it became like boxing.

I think the sweet spot for MMA was around that time. One free card per month on Spike, WEC once per month or two on Versus, and then a PPV every month. Affliction, EliteXC, Strikeforce, and Sengouku filled in the gaps with some stars that didn't see eye to eye with Zuffa/UFC. Seemed like plenty of fights but way more stacked from top to bottom. Fighters didn't have to wear stupid fight kits and there was a lot more personality and individuality in the sport.

How is this not a prelim?

 

[ElCasca]

Teixeira looking like a post Big Rigg Poatan

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Homie should come out with the Bloodline

 

[usernamee]

Stricks girl looks like a lesbian

A sherdogger said she looked like a tranny and it's kinda accurate lol with the facial features

 

[AmonTobin]

Crute's 2nd draw in last 3 fights. He's probably thinking about retirement again.

Ok so we got tall Teixeira vs diet hunt tafa next


I got tall boy

 

[maximus__]

Jimmy is as smart as he looks

Haha oh God. MMA is so weird.
One guy dominates a round so much and the other person edges it and they call it a draw lol.

Crute should have gotten the nod there. He was landing the bigger, more damaging shots for most of the fight.

Oh well good enough fight but should have been on the prelims.

 

[jmboyd24]

I have it for Crute. He has an argument in every round and took the first 10-8.

I was cheering for a Crute win but I agree that a draw was the correct call

 

[TGArthur]

This feels like a whoever gets hit first goes to sleep type of fight

 

[Carsormyr]

Time to cook the man some fuhckin ehgs

 

[NoSmilez]

yeah i googled right after. i was thinking of sam hoger lol

Oh Hoger is Alaskan. Greco is mid 90s K1 guy.

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

DDP's girl looks like some girl from the trailer park went to a costume party as Jessica Rabbit

that bad?

 

[podsox]

Looked like Bellato was pulling that move the scumbag promoter (Brian Dennehy) from Gladiator (the REAL Gladiator, not the one directed by Tony Scott) pulled on Cuba Gooding Jr, where he headbutted Cuba's punches to break his hands

Top of the head. Hardest part of the body!

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Sloppy HW fight up next

 

[koquerelle]

What kind of woman would put up with Strickland.

I wonder too. And she doesn't like a total bimbo. I'm surprised.

That sounds well researched and passed the ai fact check.
It checks out in his post Fight exegesis

Stricks girl looks like a lesbian
