    this guys record is phenomenol,look at the amount of fights,the career span and the names on it...

    horn is a legend in mixed martial arts,not only was he competing right from the 'get go' but he is still taking scalps to this day,many of the big names learnt a trick or two off of jeremy and cite him as a pioneer and a big influence upon them....

    i mean look at the guys he lost too (the majority of them he lost competitive decisions too) i.e noguera,sobral,anderson silva,arona,couture,shamrock etc he has wins over griffin,yvel,fulton,sonnen,dean lister,loiseau,lidell,white even a draw with the old maestro dan severn...

    Strange, I've never heard of him before!:huh I suppose I don't watch so much MMA as I do boxing, but still, seems like I must have seen him fight at some point! Its also rather impressive that he has only lost by KO twice in 108 fights!

    Had some of the worst luck, both with health and with bad and even dirty officiating and judging. Should have beat Sakuraba, but the judges decided to ask for an arbitrary overtime round which was not a part of the fight agreement. Got blatantly headbutted against Wanderlei Silva. Was the victim of pretty bad decisions against Shoji and Arona.

    Not for people who love MMA not just the great art of "Ultimate Fighting". But for most of the meat head dudes who think the UFC is the only thing that matters. You've got Sakuuuurrraaaabaaaaaaaaaaa. [yt]MBtvfATml1s[/yt]
