[BarbellzNbacon]

At the time, dude was a dominant middleweight, undefeated for a long ass time, multiple arm bar submissions, fought in Pride, WEC Champ. I really appreciate his fights.

His second fight with Sonnen is one of the weirdest moments in MMA history.

His second fight with Sonnen is one of the weirdest moments in MMA history.

My favorite part was how weirded out Frank Mir was on commentary. "Who is he looking at?! Is he talking to himself?!"

His second fight with Sonnen is one of the weirdest moments in MMA history.

I remember being hyped for it. . . and then confused, and then sad.

The name yes but the fighter no

He was the original guy to hail-mary tap Chael in a championship fight

 

[Bobby Boulders]

One of the biggest letdowns in MMA, ever. 100% was elite tier quality fighter. He went the way of Karo

 

[Pittie Petey]

That whole WEC era was such a fun ride, so many amazing fights and fun interesting storylines

 

[cold_spring_harbor]

I always liked him, and the fact that he gave the belt to sonnen after the second fight shows character

My memory is shit take with some salt

 

[John makfresshi]

Back when MMA was still finding its footing in the mainstream! Loved the WEC run and the handicap match against Sonnen and a shadow person

WEC / Tapout Crew were a must watch... Kinda like the first few seasons of TUF.

A mental breakdown from drugs

 

[Fishmonger]

He was the original guy to hail-mary tap Chael in a championship fight

back when sonnen wasn't kissing daner's ass, and minerals were livelier than he

 

[Fishmonger]

A mental breakdown from drugs

yeah, might be misremembering here, but he was taking whatever meds (or not taking them around the fight) and was exhibiting effects...

WEC / Tapout Crew were a must watch... Kinda like the first few seasons of TUF.

That Tapout reality show where they would show a different fighter each week training and getting ready for his upcoming fight on a regional circuit was fun stuff
