I think Rich would make short work of Lindland… even back then.

Lindland is the LAW, and he will RULE you, along with Chael Sonnen!

Eh Lindland is a boring fighter, I never really liked watching his… wrestle his way to a victory.. but yet I like Sean Sherk… thats weird.

Hack has the inside scoop on Dana White. Dana & Chuck are very close as we all know. Pretty frank words from John if I do say so myself. I was a little suprised to hear them considering his close relationship with Dana and the UFC, but then again, John is nobodys bitch. The guy used to beat up Chuck on a regular basis during their first few years together. He is one bad mofo.

back when he was in the ufc i agreed he was a top middleweight, arguably top 3 in the world, but it’s been awhile since i’ve seen lindland be impressive. it would be nice to see him back in the mix against guys his own weight class and of a respectable caliber, but until he gets over on somebody currently top 10 or even 5 i have a hard time putting him at the upper echelon. and he is definitely uglier than a 5 dollar crack whore’s crotch. ever since rampage said he had bad breath i look at the guy and he just looks like he has nasty ass breath…i bet his breath smells like the worst shit morning breath ever.

Lindland would own Franklin. And just looking how well he did against (Jackson) who would also crush Franklin should alleviate the worry that he’s a boring fighter. His fight with Jackson and the short fight with Fedor prove different.

Lindland would handle franklin easy, If lutter wasnt a 1round fighter he would have probably beat him.

I think it’s safe to say that Dana isn’t the only one who doesn’t like Matt Lindland.

I can’t really say he came off as being such a threat to Rich Franklin that they felt they had to cut him to protect Ace. That’s just my opinion though.

Khaos, Lutter wasn’t going to sub Franklin at all and it wasn’t just because he had bad cardio. Getting punched in the face several dozen times will destroy your will/cardio.

Franklin would TKO/KO Lindland.

WOW! if chuck’s trainer is saying this about dana you know it’s true , we all know it but this is hard evidence of the misjustices going on in the ufc the way that the more popular fighters get to fight .
like jardine beat chuck and jardine beat forrest but forrest get to fight page for the belt …this is a bull s. way to have a legit organization.

the fighters need to be ranked according to who they have beaten and a ladder in each weight class has to be determined.
DAna is a fat Cat!!!!

I HOPE THE UFC WAKES UP!
they can stop promoting their BRAND ufc and start getting better fighters and more of the fights on the card, as soon they will slip into boxing…one good fight only for 50.00

i really like mcdonalds but sometimes i want a burger from the king too
compitition is better for mma not total co#k blocking like dana white he is a little boy with wealthy friends thats it.
one can do anything with money and will but dana gotta go start a petition or enter sum new compition affliction looks great!!!!

lol @ GORANDY

Yeah Jardine beat Forrest and Liddell, but you forget he got knocked out by Houston, which really set him back. Forrest is coming off two solid wins with one of them being over Shogun.

Also the UFC is the only organization that actually makes the best fight the best and in a way, that creates its own rankings, Unlike EXC or any other major promotion.

And who cares if John says that about Dana. Everyone hates somebody. You apparently hate Dana, I guess that makes you just as low as him.

I don’t know what you’re talking about as far as compitition. That’s not at all what this story is about and it’s not like there isn’t compitition out there for the UFC. You’ve got the very, very rich Mark Cuban with his HD stuff, and the deep pockets of showtime running EXC. So don’t be saying that Dana is the only rich one.

dana is not rich really
 those two brother casino owners are the ones that have the nevada state athl . commission in their hands.
the frititta totta bro’s will fire dana white eventually

does anyone know why dana dislikes lindland so much? dana seems to dislike jacob just as much for a long while, and that hasnt stopped him from letting him fight in the ufc. could it be from drawing power as well? lindland isnt quite as marketable is he. dana’s no dummy.

I can’t wait for the Dana-nuthuggers to start justifying this. :D

Matt Lidland, isn’t the gross fool that doesn’t shake a shower for two weeks before a match? Keep his smelly ass out of UFC.

i reckon rich would take him out even tho getting destroyed to near death by the spider twice

This is silly!!! Ace went up against Anderson Silva(second fight in UFC they had every right to make him wait at least 1 yr) and got destroyed. Anderson was a much bigger threat to Ace then the “Law” and he doesn’t even speak english(not that there is anything wrong with that just from a promoting stand point). Then he goes and fights him again and gets mauled again! How is this protecting Ace? Dana has every right to hire and fire who the heck he wants too. If you go for a job interview, it really doesn’t matter how qualified you are, the big factor is wether or not the person giving the interview LIKES YOU OR NOT.

Did anyone else pick up on the fact that those responses didn’t typically sound like things that would come out of John’s mouth. I’ve read alot of interviews with John and that one didn’t sound like him at all. I’m calling BS.

Yeah, Dana sucks. I mean, look at what he’s done to the UFC. When he took over, it was bankrupt, had no tv or mainstream media coverage, and they did a couple PPVs a year that a few people purchased.

Now, they’re do a dozen PPVs a year, they’re on television every week, they have the greatest fighters in the world competeing against each other in the ring (instead of in hypothetical conversations), and they’re the fastest growing sport in the world.

If you don’t like Dana – awesome! But stop pretending he hasn’t been the greatest thing to happen to MMA in this country. If not for him, the UFC would probably not exist anymore. The guy is a loudmouth, yes, but I watch the UFC for the fights, and Dana’s never in the ring. If you hate him so much, stop freaking watching the UFC. That’ll show him!
Have fun watching Dream, knuckleheads.

Hey linland….join the same world tito and randy are living in now!

I’d have to agree there. Dana does act like a kid at times, and somewhat like a woman that will hold a grudge against you until the end of days. I hope Affliction does well for that reason.

Rich kicks his ass!

who cares the Law is 1 of the most overrated fighters in the Mwt div. every time he fought some one good he couldn’t finish and left the fight in the judges hands.the 4 best fighters that he had finished are Jeremy Horn , Travis Lutter , Carlos Newton and Pat Miletich. the last 2 are WWts. IMO he is a poor mans Hendo. i think that ACE could beat either 1 of these 2.

I think its funny people think that Lindland would own Franklin. It’s not like Yushin, Tanner, MacDonald, Lutter, Dewees could do anything to Rich. what makes you guys think that Matt could get him down and destroy him?

heck, I think Frank Shamrock would beat Lindland.

I am a friend of Matts son and he says he will not be fighting in the UFC but instead is fighting in october of 08 for an organization cannot give the name of right now.
