He did it too Sean Sherk as well. These arent scrubs. Took me a while to truly appreciate BJ Penn. Took me a while to warm up to him because I was always a fan of pulver. Everybody thought he was going to run through Jens the first time. I was happier for Jens when he beat BJ, Then I was when he beat uno
Yeah big fan of both as well.
It was awesome to see them become friends during and after TUF as coaches.
Random thought, but i hope the same happens eventually for Poatan and Izzy; imagine the sparring sessions we’re missing out on seeing!
No, the faster Izzy goes away the better. I wouldn’t mind seeing Chamma, super-juice like Jones and punch Jon Jones head off one day when jones is on the downslide. Or I wouldn’t mind jones & izzy getting caught clappin each others cheeks (with eye contact) at a P Diddy party…
Shit, BJ did the same thing to Caol Uno… Flatlined him! Uno was beast… Another career casulty at the hands of BJ
Lol not a Izzy fan myself either, but i cant lie i feel like training together could help both. And i just love watching two high level strikers spar.
And only party Diddy is having is in prison. Knowing Jon though, the possibility of him and Puffy one day being cellmates isnt out of the question.
Kerr vs Varlens comes to mind immediately.
Who was that Japanese guy that walked out in a daze and Rogan said “woah it looks like he’s on heroin?” He got destroyed. For some reason I think it was Koji Oishii or something like that
Rory Macdonald was never the same after Robbie Lawler. Especially the second fight.
Diaz destroying Koji?
Koji would become INAUGURAL ONE FW champion.
Winning it over Honorio Bonario and defending it against Honorio aswell with KO wins both times man I remember it like it was yesterday.
Following this sport makes your life fly by even quicker I swear LOL.
Good for Koji tho but yes Diaz just TOOLED him.
Not brutal as in physical injury but Silva vs Griffin was brutal to see one champion just completely mentally break another. Forrest literally ran off crying.
Listened to a podcast interview a while ago where they asked Forrest when he knew he was in trouble and he said something like, ‘after that first matrix dodge where I missed everything, he looked at me with pity like why did you think that would work you slow, slow man.’ lol
I always think about Weidman and Luke. Weidman went from world champ to shot in 10 minutes
Yes considering he broke Anderson and his title reign that was an insane feat on top of getting the strap.
Then the title defenses with another over Silva.“Fuck em”
That 3 fight skid was just an insane fall where he was that guy that stumped Silva…
That Yoel knee Chris took was vicious…
That fight pissed me off lol Weidman was doing well, starting to take over the fight.
Then for whatever reason, he tried to hit Luke with a sloppy spinning heel kick and got taken down for it.
From there, Luke wore him down. I still dont understand why he did it; only thing i could think is maybe because Vitor had finished Luke with that kick. And obviously Luke had learned how to counter the kick.
He learned to side step the spinning kick
GSP derailed the careers of Thiago Alves, Dan Hardy, Koscheck, Detective Shield and Carlos Condit.
Myles Jury never recovered from the humble pie Cowboy Cerrone gave him.
He did more than wear him down…Luke mauled him
Remember Cowboy had pretty much fought everyone and Dana asked him who he wanted to fight and Cowboy said “give me that boy”
Haha
If i remember right Myles was the one demanding to fight Cerrone to begin with LOL.
Except prime Shogun never even made it to UFC.
