[Jorge Luis Borges]

Sokoudjou. He's always been underrated.

what the fuck is your problem

 

[nyquil]

NOT Alexander, because this is what comes to mind when I think of him:

 

[WTF2008]

Thought thread was going to be stupid based on the title, but really good thread.

I thought Sokoudjou was gonna go a lot further than he did.

I was also really excited for David Terrell back then. Injuries suck and mess up a lot of potentially way better careers and status.

 

[Y2Khaos]

I can't believe I didn't check this before but Houston Alexander and Sokoudjou actually fought!

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Pitbull

 

[ScarfaceJr]

It's Mike Perry.

 

[The guest]

My vote goes to the asshole that's willing to admit he's actually killed someone.

Fuck off, child.

 

[tru3f4n]

Sokoudjou. He's always been underrated.

underratted by who if you get knocked out by Minowaman you should never be considered underrated.

 

[Degen Gambler]

Melvin Guillard

 

[BisexualMMA]

Tamden "The Barn Assassin" McCrory is the best. I'd say Houston is 2nd.

Obviously this guy :

Luis 'The assassin' Gonzalez
