Agreed. The guy has zero class.

I cant stand him either. I find it incredible how he still talks smack about GSP out wrestling him.

yeah he is just a klown! From his hair to his personality…he is just a Klown! I really cant stand that guy….Most over rated welterweight in the world!

He got OUTWRESTLED by GSP, what good is he if he cant even win the wrestling aspect of a fight? He is just a Joke. i honestly feel that if Hazlett were to get another shot atr Koschek, Hazlett would win! Thatsd not Hate either, just REAL TALK!

It’s a smart move on his part. He’s trying to turn himself into the next J. Ortiz so people will buy PPVs just in the hopes that he’ll lose, but he’ll still make loads of cash.

I would love to see Kos vs BJ at ww,winner gets a title shot.Seeing BJ tool Koscheck would just be f*****g wonderful! lol

BJ whooping on him would be a dream come true, but I dont even want to give him the respect of fighting the LEGEND BJ penn! But yes, seeing BJ make him look like a fool would be PRICE$LESS!

PW, yea i agree. if people dislike him naturally, might as well cash out on it. it amuses me when he puts out all that drama and people can’t stand it. HAHA!

Kos has tried the nice guy act in the octagon, and it doesn’t work because the fans still hate him for being the true deuche that he is.

However, at least he is now being SMART about it! If the fans boo’d me every single time, even when I won impressively, I would want to give them something to really boo about. Obviously, Kos is NEVER going to win over the fans and get cheered. So why not turn heal (bad guy)? It makes complete sense. More people hate Tito than like Tito and he is one of the most watched fighters in MMA. The casual fans love to see personality, whether its good or bad.

Actually, if Kos all of a sudden gets all evil, I, yes, I, can see myself becoming a fan of him. The UFC really needs a “bad guy” on thier roster. Kos should become their new Nick Diaz and just talk trash about the fighter he’s facing in all of his interviews, and then after the fights, say that he respects his opponent even less….

lololol @ ….just talk trash about the fighter he’s facing in all of his interviews, and then after the fights, say that he respects his opponent even less…. i thought diego was kind of a punk when they were talking back and forth in interviews. n then diego even shoved kos at the weighins. and then he didn’t bring NOTHING when it came down to fight! i know i know. he was sick.

I also get the impressions that he isnt exactly happy with his contract!

Lets just hope we are both wrong! I am not overlooking Fitch at all! I have already stated that I feel this will be GSP’s toughest test with exception to maybe the BJ Penn fight. I think GSP will win but Fitch will take him the distance and force a judges decision!

I don’t take it as such, I think that he just doesn’t want to say anything that can be spun into him being unhappy. I guess you can never really say anything without having a spin put on it though.

Shady: thats also a possability. Does’nt the UFC contracts automatically extend themselves as long as a fighter is in control of the title? Thats what I thought because thats a main reason Fedor had a problem signing with the UFC.

I think you’re right John, this way they don’t have a champion leaving. I think Dana does alright with taking care of GSP, maybe he’ll do something along the lines of what I mentioned yesterday on another topic. Maybe he just starts giving GSP bigger bonuses thus giving him a raise anyway.

I could see GSP not being thrilled as the money’s not guaranteed, but he’s been a good company guy so far and I don’t think he’ll pull a Huerta right away. I hope Huerta goes away though because you don’t need that kind of negative noise in your ear.

who is Huerta’s crazy ass agent? Drew Rosenhause (the most hated man in Phily)?

I think that portions of the pay per view revenue should be given to all fighters that compete in ppv Main events. SEriously, casual fans by ppv’s mostly because of the main events, so the fighters headlining an event should get compensated for how many pPV’s are sold. But Huerta is just out of his mind. As good as he is, he only really has 1 UFC win of any value and thats against Guida. He still HAS NEVER EVEN taken part in a PPV Main event, so I dont know who the F he thinks he is for asking for 6 figures and ppv revenue…thatrs just crazy, and he should fire his lunatic agent nOW, before he really sticks his foot in his mouth and messes up his career!

Man, you have to really be a dick to be the most hated man in a town that hates on Santa and cheers career-ending injuries. As far as sports agents go, we hate Scott Bor-ass more than Rosenhaus, but not by much.

u r right about that pW! Philly is a tough town, and to be the most hated, u have to really be a TRASH!!

I dont even know why Eagles players sign with Rosenhause. He is never successful at negotiating with thye Birds! Lito Sheppard hired him recently to try to get a raise! good luck with that Lito, we got Assante and Sheldon and even though Lito is good and can return interceptions about as well as deon, he is injury prone and hasnt played a full season in like Forever!

How can you even compair Huerta to GSP. Huerta wants PPV% and that is something they give to HEADLINERS who draw big #‘s. Huerta has headlined ZERO times, GSP headlines more than anyone (33% of all fights this year). GSP said the smartest thing he could, he didn’t disrespect the UFC, but he didn’t say he was elated with his curant contract. Even if he is totally happy with his contract, it’s not going to help future negotiations to let the UFC know they got him by the balls.

Yeah, that was smart words on GSP’s part. There’s no point in getting the media involved in your contract etc. Plus, there’s no way the UFC are going to let GSP go anywhere. As entertaining and talented and hard working and classy kid as he is, the UFC WILL come to terms with him. GSP needs them too because this is where the 170 talent pool is.

diego should have stayed. he could have learned alot from gsp and vice-versa, and they would have made great sparring partners. i think diego took it the wrong way and did have personal issuesin cali as well. if he stayed and he and gsp were to fight for the title, i think jackson would have stepped aside and let his trainers take over.

With out a doubt Diego should have stayed. He still hasnt gotten a title shot or a match up against GSP anyway and he left a while ago now. Him and GSP should have trained together and crossed that bridge when it came to it (meaning fight each other). But Diego is a dumb hot head, and he is only hurting himself by leaving the camp.

Classic example of shooting your nose off to spite your face!

lol…yea I swear I could hear him while I was reading.

there are no better fans in this world then EAGLES fans! I will never forget when we played the Ravents and T.O scored a touchdown and did the Ray Lewis Dance, EVERYone went Nutts…I will never forget it. THe crowd just chanted TO for like 10 minutes. WE kicked the ball off, played defense (3 and out), got the ball back, and we were still chanting ofr TO…it was just a memerable moment.

WE used to walk around the streets chanting, T.O, T.O T.O T.OOOOOOoo, T.OOOOOO, T.OOO (to the Olay Olay Olay beat) while we would flap our arms! Seriously Philly is an INSANE place for sports!

Garcia is liked because he doesn’t turn the ball over, which is why those same people didn’t want Favre, because he throws a million interceptions. But Garcia’s 2400 yards and 14 touchdowns weren’t very sexy last year. That fan base you talk about who like Garcia’s “play not to lose” approach are the same ones who ran Tony Dungy out of town for not opening up the playbook and have ridiculed Gruden for his lack of offensive production since winning the bowl. They would have seen the light as soon as Favre hit Galloway one time on a 50 yard bomb, trust me.

I liked what Garcia did for us last year, but the dude has never played a full season without getting hurt. He plays not to lose instead of playing to win. I’m just more of a gambler. I’d rather have the gunslinger. I’m not complaining about Garcia, there was just something about having Favre in pewter and red that got me excited, especially with the bowl being in Tampa this year.

I know the safe route is with Garcia, but we’re talking about Brett Favre. Who would you rather have running your offense, you know?

Not trying to turn this into NFLmania or anything, I’m just a little worked up over how disrespectful the Packers are.

I agree! THe Packers acted without class! Its really a shame that they did that to an Icon who has udone so much for their team and crappy little city! P{oor cheeseheads!

I really feel for Favre, and I hope he does well and enjoys himself in NY!

john, lol, from what I understand, Eagles’ fans most resemble English soccer hooligans! Weren’t you guys the 1st stadium to have a judge and jail installed b/c of people who “embraced their fandom” too enthusiastically? That is NOT something to brag about. I had a friend who went to a Dallas game there several years ago, and he was scared to wear his jersey cuz Eagles’ fans wanted beat the sh*t out of everyone.

spida, remember, Favre may be a “sexier” kind of QB, but he doesn’t know the system and is getting older by the minute. I for one am simply happy this situation is finally resolved. He won’t do more for the Jets than have people talking about them again: in other words, they will be relevant. But they won’t exactly challenge for the AFC title.

cowboys rule the eagles!!

Oi this is MMA-MANIA muppets!!!!

Sure you wouldn’t like it if we brits cluttered up the boards with chat about football (real football that is!).

WAR SPURS!!!!

I cant stand it when d-bags do the “E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES!” chant in bars. In Baltimore. In May.

Chef: we are like Soccer Hooligans! Are fans are the best/nastiest fans in the world. YOur friend is smart, he could getr killed wearing a cowboys Jersey at an Eagles game!

Kory: win a play off game 1st, then you can start bashing my Birds! u must still be holding on to the glory days of the 90’s!

WB: I will start the chant on this Blog:
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!!!!!! Fly Eagles Fly, on the road to Victory….E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!!!

John you may be like proper hooligans but you need to start working on those chants over the pond!!

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES…Over the Pond! lol

Walked into that one….

lol

When your Fecals win even one Super Bowl, to say nothing of our five, then they can talk. Cowboys RULE!!!!! That’s my quarterback man!

well tell your quarterback to try winning a play off game for a change! We may have not won superbowls but at least the Eagles have been a top team through out the majority of this decade. As much as I hate McNabb, he has been a constant winner for years, and never had half the weapons that the cowboys have had (besides westbrook). its pathetic to think that Romo cant win a playoff game with weapons like Witten and T.O. and a MOSTER offensive line!

McNabb has been winning with wide recievers like:
torrance Smalls
James thrash
Todd Pinkston
Greg Lewis

Romo would go 0-16 if he had recievers like that!

By the way, this year the Eagles will be really good! We have the best linebackers that we have had in 10 years!
Gaither and Gocong are due for break out years, and Stewart Bardley is a young Uralcher (remember you heard it here 1st when he blows up)!

and for once, we dont even care if McNabb gets hurt because we have a young stud waiting in the wings to fill in for him….Kevin Kolb (this kid is going to be REALLY REALLY SPECIAL)!

Now can you imagine what Philly would be like if the Eagles were actually good and had a chance at not finishing at the bottom of the division? Who will be in the NFC East basement this year? It a race between them and the Skins. My G-Men and the hated Cowboys WILL be playoff bound.

I think that Kevin Corn on the Kolb is going to be nothing special at all…

vm: u r going to eat every single one of those words. U will be very surprised to see how good the Eagles are this year! THey will have the best Defense in the division (BET THAT!) and McNabb looks better then ever. Plus none of the other bum ass teams in the division can guard WESTBROOK!

I gaurentee that they make the play offs at the very least!

john, LMFAO, I’m going to bust you out next time you talk about how disrespectful American fans are compared to the Japanese! I’ll remember these words!

American fans are trashy, especially when it comes to MMA. They boooo way too much. Football is different, Fans MUST get Rowdy to make it harder on the away team. Basically, I like American fans for football, hate em for MMA!
\
Could u imaging a stadium full of Japanese fans at a Football game, not making a sound? It would be really weird! lol

VM: U dont get to wreck my EAGLES because you HAVE NO HOME TEAM! lol, Even worse you are a conneticutt resident thats a fan of the pathetic Giants, doesnt get any worse then that. lol! I mean seriously, NO WAY the GIants are better then the EAGLES this year!

I will bet anything that the Eagles do better this year then the G-men (gay men!)

oh yeah i saw kevin kolb running drills once, kids gonna be a star!

kolb is going to be a star for sure!

Thank God I’m a Colts/Bears fan! Now if only the Bears could get a QB who could hit the wide side of a barn. And I wish they didn’t trade a star running back while keeping a cr*ppy one. And I wish…..wait, why am I a Bears fan again?

TonyDrip. As u know, I keep it Real, so I will admit that the steelers have GREAT fans. THe Eagles fans also travel with the team, but I will admit that its not to the extent of the Steelers fans. In that sense yes Steelers fans are better, but as good as the steelers fans are, NO teams want to come play IN PHILLY! THats what Eagles fans are the best at! WE defend OUR HOUSE, better than anyone, and you have to respect us for that!

TonyDrip: I am a DIEHARD EAGLES fans, but I do admire teams in other divisions as well, like the Vikings and the BROWNS and I will tell u one thing, the browns are going to put a whooping on your steelers this year!

John….you’re right bro, I definitely have to give you props for that. NO ONE wants to play in Philly. It used to be because the field was concrete covered by 1 inch of astroturf….now it’s because everyone’s afraid of fans who booo Santa….Haahaa.

As far as the Browns comment goes……I’m still laughing over here. The Browns are our doormat….always have been, always will be.

I’ve got 2 words those fans….Got Rings??

By the way, the Vikings are in the NFC….they’re not in the same conference let alone the same division.

Chefdaddy-

I feel your pain. Bears have had a history of horrible GM’s who cannot pick a decent coach who cannot pick a decent offensive coordinator who cannot pick a decent system for a crappy/average QB…

The best football fans are Steelers, Bears and Browns.

Sorry john, but Philly fans are notorious a$$holes who complain about everything and have an inferiority complex. Not dissing you but that’s the rep Philly fans have built up…

Bears should pick uyp Chad Pennington. He isnt the best but he is better then those other bums they got at QB!

At this point you or me could be better !

:(

At least I could hit the ground if I dropped the ball. Most of the bears’ qb couldn’t even do that!

OJR: Say what u want about Philly fans, but NO TEAMS like to go on the road to play Philly! and no fans of other teams will dare4 set foot in our stadium! and thats the way it should be!

UK: its hard for me to answer that question correctlyt because during his title reign, he took place in many (non title fights) like TOurnaments and against HW’s. I can tell you with certainty that he won his title at Pride 13 “Collision Course” and didnt loose it till pRIDE 33! 5 year title reign, during which he did loose a few non title bouts: IMO, he beat Cro Cop the 1st time (but was ruled a draw), he lost to Mark Hunt, who outweighed h im by 80 pounds. He lost to Cro Cop in 2006. and in 2005 he lost a decision to Ricardo Arona, but it wasnt a title fight because it was a tournament bout. Leter in 2005 at Shockwave event, they gave Arona a rematch this time for the title, but Wanderlei out pointed him to earn a decision win.

I wish I could be more helpful, but its too confusing with all the non title fighst that took place during his title reign!

He has never been defeated by a Japanese fighter. He even beat Iron Head Kazayuki Fujita (a heavyweight) in 1 of my favorite fights by KO (brutal). Check that fight out if he havent seen it. It went down in the 1st or 2nd round of the open weight grand prix. I will check my dvd’s when I get home and let you know for sure!

Thats what was confusing me. Wikipedia (not the most reliable source I know) only shows 3 defenses (Rampage, Arona and loss to Henderson) but loads of matches inbetween. Im was unsure if they were exibition or GP. Its only because folks have issues with lack of title matches in some UFC divisions due to TUF or injuries and wondered how often Prides belts were fought for.

wandy defended his title from 3 to 4 times a year, he was the most active champion and fighter in Pride.

He beat so many guys in Pride its hard to keep track of.
He beat:

sakuraba 3 times (1 time in a tournament)
Ikuhisa the Punk Minowa
Yuki Condo
Arona
Rampage 2 (1 time for the title, 1 time in a GP)
Mezger
Henderson (in their 1st fight, decision win)
Nakamura
Hidehiko Yoshida (I think twice)

I cant think right now, I have a brain Freeze!

going from memory wandy unbeaten streak he fought almost 20 fights and chucks unbeaten streak maybe 9 both between 4-5 yrs

thnx i’m blind.

Chill mang.. I don’t have any hate towards GSP, in fact I think he’s a great fighter.. He’s a good striker, excellent wrestler, and his BJJ has supposedly gotten much better. But don’t hate on Penn for ACCIDENTLY poking GSP in the eye, that sort of thing always happens in MMA. Also, it’s not BJ Penn’s fault that GSP’s nose broke, and to even bring that up as an excuse is ignorant. Lastly GSP DID hold Penn down, without trying to finish the fight by TKO or trying to pull off a submission. Read what I wrote!! I said that I don’t blame him. He was trying to earn the win by Decision.. Those takedowns were the only reason why GSP won the fight.. Chuck Liddell did the same thing when he fought Wanderlei Silva.. Their mentality is to take their opponent down, hold em down, throw a punch here and there and wait until the bell sounds..

I don’t think I was hating on Penn, at no point did I say he purposely poked GSP in the eye. I am just stating that he did what he had to do to win that fight, and it seems to me you are a little salty at GSP for winning that way. And as for your comment that GSP’s BJJ has “supposedly” gotten better…go ask Serra and Matt Hughes. It has gotten A LOT better.

I’ll give him credit for the Serra fight, but not the Hughes fight.. He dominated Hughes in every aspect of the game. But Matt Hughes is no BJJ expert like Penn.. What Hughes learns from Mark Laimon ain’t crap. I want to see GSP submit a BJJ blackbelt. GSP is an excellent fighter, but I honestly think Penn is better.
