:-) No no no, I do some work for an MMA org, I also run an MMA website and get certain press credentials at certain events, and I know a lot of fighters and I like to help out my buddies get what they want, I've always been that kind of a guy, and If my buddies are ever in need of something related to MMA, I always do my best to try and help.

It was worth a shot.
I can't get you freebies there, but if you wanted to go train for a few days at Grudge (Jacksons sister school) or AKA I could probably get you the hookup...lol [Reply]

rightfully so when he sets PPV buy records....without him who knows how many people would watch. he brings a whole seperate audience to those PPV's.
It was already mentioned here, but when Dana got into the ring after the fight, the look on his face was like "where in the fuck did all of my $$$ just go to?" LOL.
Then The Undertaker (which supposedly was staged) was at ringside and looked at Brock while he was walking out...."'Ya wanna do it?" Lesnar just looked at him like WTF?!, Supposedly Brock Lesnar wants a shit ton more money from White.....and Vince McMahon is ready to write a bigass check to Lesnar should he come back to Wrestlemania and wrestle with the Undertaker. Dana says it won't happen. I don't think it will either. Brock hates that business and what it does physically to him, esp with him having another baby girl etc, life on the road that much is hard.
He'll be back probably in 10months, with another Frank Mir beatdown (god i hope not) or a fight against Roy Nelson or hell I dunno, it's going to be a year at least before Lesnar gets another title shot (should he win his matches). [Reply]

I will keep that in mind and definitely be on the lookout, I'll see if I can't get a shirt of him to send you and sign it or something, He's always glad to be very open with his fans and do what he can, hands down one of the nicest guys out there. [Reply]

I really enjoy watching guys that are dominant like Jones, GSP and Silva. Yeah, I know he isn't in that class YET. But my favorite fighters are the guys that aren't that talented but show heart and are courage in the ring. I like guys like Coulture, Hughes, and Leben. [Reply]

Can you get backstage (obviously not immediately before or after the fights) but maybe day or two before to get some pics taken with some of the fighters?
That would be some kick ass scrap book shit there and some bragging rights at class. [Reply]

It all depends, Probably not at UFC events, because unless you're high profile or apart of the road crew this is pretty damn hard, But If there's a fighter I know on the card I could probably get 1 on 1 time with them or their camp, and I usually know what Hotels all the fighters are staying so there are always those places to lurk around. I could get backstage and VIP seats/tickets to Bellator events and MAYBE Strikeforce, word is they are really easy guys to work with regarding that sort of thing. And definitely smaller org's like KOTC, MFC, those types. Also keep a look out for UFC fan expo's, they will be doing a lot more of those and I have personally attending the one in Boston for UFC 118 and Had a blast and met a ton of fighters that I've wanted to.

That's pussy. That's chicken shit. It's still fighting. I don't respect a guy that talks about how he's going to put his fist down a guys throat then shows he is too scared to stand and trade with the man. NO I don't respect Rashad and I think he's a coward for that.
Fair enough. I like the guy though and will root for him to win almost any fight he is in. [Reply]

Sweet dude, I'll contact you for sure next time I go to a match.
What do you think the chances are on an Ortiz comeback? (I know, I know, what do you expect from a Chiefs fan :-) ) [Reply]

UPDATE : Patrick Cote was released today.
And For Ortiz? Who knows. He was obviously in great shape coming into this fight. Self proclaimed his neck/skull were completely healed, and he looked good (physically) from what I could see. He didn't work on enough wresting and thats what it came down to from my perspective. I think that if he could have trained his wrestling more and just went back to the basics he could've left with a 'W'. But he didn't and we got what we've seen out of Tito his last 3 fights. I think if he wants to start winning he needs to bring in better partners to spar with, wrestle with, basically overhaul his whole game. He's one of those types that Dana won't ditch IMO even though they have bad history. He carried the UFC in the early days when he was fighting Ken/Chuck/Randy when the UFC was really struggling, so I mean, Cards are on the table for him, he got paid like 250k for his fight that he lost, that is some serious love there from the Fertita brothers. His path is his own to choose, either he changes whats wrong finally or he needs to hang em up, simple. [Reply]
Ortiz is a name. People will always pay to watch him fight which is why he makes the big bucks. I don't think he'll ever comeback to dominance, but he can still be relevant as a gatekeeper for LHW's into the top of the division. [Reply]
Heres to you Nicky. New Horwich interview with Reggie warren, an MMA 'comic' or 'parody' of sorts. Good interview, you'll enjoy it if you havent seen it.

Saw that last night actually while I was under the influence. He's like if Carl Sagan had a really bad trip in his teens and got punched in the face for a living. [Reply]
