    I like how you get new blood in here. The new challengers make things even more competitive. (not sure how much more competitive things can get but its still awesome lol)

    Im wondering if this is a dig to those who follow the crowd on the obscure fights :lol:

    But in all seriousness, as much as I like this quote, for its eloquence and indeed nuggets of truth, Ive always also thought it a bit over the top and unfair. You can paint practically anyone with that brush if you tried hard enough no?

    Anyways... good quote nonetheless.

    I've started watching UFC from the early days and seeing Royce Gracie dominate everyone with BJJ amazed me.

    I did my first lesson last night and really enjoyed it. Couldn't believe how hands on it was but I loved it.

    The Blues aren't a lowly sorry ass wildcard team there beefytits...They overtook Nashville for 3rd in the Central last night with a win over Toronto. LA is still behind STL in points despite the Blues playing so badly they got the 4th winingest coach in NHL history fired... Whose got the sorry ass team now...!!!

    Yeah.... it was actually.:sisi1

    Due to all of the crybabies in the streets throwing their hissy fits and tantrums, and the mindless repetitive droning from all the lemmings on CNN, I've had Oscar Wilde on the brain off and on since the election, and that very appropriate quote has been stuck in my head for a few days.

    And I figured since its also kind of applicable here.... I'd throw it up and kill two birds with one stone.:roto2gay:

    Oh the irony.....

    .......I'm switching to Warren by uncontroversial UD.:risas3:

    Warren UD

    Not because I'm being a follower, but Warren's speed will be too much for the slow and somewhat predictable Zhakiyanov and his extreme southpaw stance will cause Zhanat a ton of troubles, and he'll probably barely land on him clean. He could possibly score a late stoppage, while Warren doesn't have insane KO power, he like Ward has enough pop to give pause to his opponents and keep them somewhat apprehensive, so if Zhanat throws caution to the wind, you never know.

    Flip_Flop - Flop_Flip - I sort of wish you hadn't changed. Your somewhat dubious record over late changes is making me doubt my pick now :demon7:

    Upon a first glance didn't see Bronson, was triggered for a moment. Seagal above Chan, Lee and Lundgren? BLASPHEMY. That clown has nothing on them. For me Chan is a perennial top 5, Lee is impossible to rate accurately... His influence is undeniable, but due to his small body of work it's hard to say he's the best with a straight face. Not the type to get sucked in by mystique, but he does deserve a special mention in these kinds of discussions.
