Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Dana has never considered signing Fox. She hasnt been approved to fight women by most state commissions. Its really a non-story.

While I think you're 100% right here, I think it's also hilarious when someone uses "Dana has never" or "Dana has said he'll never"... Because we know how that almost always ends...

I hate when this happens. An athlete says something unpopular or non-pc and then is forced by his management or organization to release an apology statement. Your not sorry. It's how you felt. Just like with Culliver from the 49ers. If you said it, and didn't misspeak, and its how you feel, then grow a pair and stand behind your words. Take a stance. Even if its unpopular.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Antonio Carvalho - 2-2, but is older
•Reuben Duran - 1-3, so should be cut
•Leonard - Garcia - really hasn't won a fight since 2010, so about time
•Pablo Garza - 1-3 in last 4, should be able to find his way back
•Kurt Holobaugh - just 1 fight
•Justin Lawrence - somewhat surprised, but he should be back sometime soon
•Bart Palaszewski - 3 losses in a row
•Sam Sicilia - 1-2, I'm a little surprised at this one as his fights aren't boring and he is at 145

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Carvalho's fight was stopped way too early, and Holobaugh was in a close fight with Siler. Those are the only two I have an issue with. Lawrence looked good in his first two fights on TUF but looked bad against Chiesa, Holloway & Pineda. He is awful off of his back.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Forrest Griffin is retiring. Him and Bonnar will be going into the HoF in July at the fan expo.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

I strongly believe both only going into the HOF ONLY because of the fight they had at the TUF season 1 finale. Because other then that, neither one was dominant in the division.

Forrest was 12-6 in the UFC. Only top 5 person he beat was Rampage and Shogun. But then lost to Shogun in the second fight, lost to Rashad and lost to Anderson Silva. So technically most of his wins was against cans and an over the hill Tito Ortiz & Rich Franklin.

Bonnar was 8-7 in the UFC. He beat nothing but cans his entire UFC career with most of them by decision at that.

At that requirement level, Nate Diaz might as well be in the Hall of Fame too since he is 11-5 in the UFC.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Forrest won the UFC belt, and scored one of the biggest upsets ever in the Shogun fight. That fight with Bonnar is the reason the UFC is where it is today as well. Forrest deserves it definitely.
Also there is NOTHING wrong with losing to the guys you mentioned. Anderson is one of the best ever, and Shogun is one of the best LHW's ever. Rashad was a top LHW as well and he actually was doing good against him.

I disagree with Bonnar making it, especially since he has tested positive for steroids twice.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Yep neither of them should be "in" the HOF. Just because you win a title, doesn't mean you get into the HOF. I have no problem putting something in the HOF about their TUF fight. That should have an exhibit, but outside of that, they shouldn't be in the HOF.
