    Around 4th or 5th. Silva, Hendo, Franklin, maybe Lawler ahead of him.

    I consider the Jacare win to be a total fluke to be honest.

    Akiyama is going to murder him if/when they fight!

    Hopefully, that fight takes place on the NYE card. After 2 waste fights it time for Akiyama to be thrown back in against top opposition. Congrats to Mousasi, he has to be top 5 now. His ground game has improved since I first saw him in Bushido a few years back.

    I'm not familiar with this guy at all. His record looks pretty solid.

    Find this slightly hard to believe, since he was born in Iran, and then moved to the Netherlands.

    You obviously don't know me and where I was born. I was born in Iran and moved to the netherlands, lived there for 3 years then moved to the U.S. It's kinda pointless for me to lie on an internet board about this, dont you think...:-(

    I think every childhood friend at one point has fought, its part of growing up.

    Oh, wow, thats amazing. Didn't mean to imply you were lieing, just mistaken; had the wrong guy or whatever.

    I figured you either lived in Glendale all your life or moved directly here. Because you gotta admit, Iran-Hollannd-Glendale is an unlikely move for an Armenian.

    Well, there are around 400,000 Armenians in Iran, most of whom migrated out of Iran ever since the Islamic party took over, to get to the U.S from Iran, you have to usually go to Europe as a refugee, before you are give the right to go to the U.S. Our families met in Holland and we became close because were one of the few Armenian families there. We received a pass to go to the U.S, so we left in 96, they got citizinship in the Netherlands and stayed behind. But yes you are right, it kinda sound unlikely if you don't have much enough on the situation, on the other hand, If I wanted to lie, I could have picked a more famous person. I actually made a thread about this 2 days ago in the lounge...its all good.
