    For some reason I find this guy endlessly entertaining; could be the percocet.:D

    His striking technique is terrible, but he has quite a bit of power as you will see. His ground game is actually quite proficient; excellent technique for somebody his size. His takedowns are pretty simple, but get the job done very well. Not a serious contender, but interesting.

    One of the videos is him in the cage with Bob Sapp apparantly attempting to hype a fight, that would be entertaining; I picture Lungu winning quite easily over Sapp though.

    Tom Erikson and Ruben Villareal are both experienced fighters, solid wins; Erikson is obviously no longer the fighter he was, but still.

    If I ever open a nightclub, this guy is working security for me.

    Eh, he is a wrestling coach at Purdue University, not really a full time fighter. It was probably last minute and Lungu was one of the few guys who could neutralize his wrestling.

    He could at least lose about 60lbs. I mean, you'de still be 320 and have a big weight advantage over most normal people, then maybe you woudnt have to waddle around the ring like a penguin trying to get a takedown.

    He looks a fat version of Oswald Copplepot.

    I'll have you know that penguins have fantastic takedown technique. I'll never mess with one again.

    Was the blonde girl that hugged him after the Erickson fight his wife/girlfriend? If she is well done fatty, he probably can even can't see his balls but a chick like that is playing with them he's done well.
