My boy “Immortal” is coming away with a victory in this one!!

This guy has the crazy thick NY dialect. Kinda reminds me of Rocky!

Whats up with the headshape too. Man this guy has took some beating on that cranium.

Never really liked him and could care less about his fights. Respect to the focus on rejuvenating his career but I hope Matt Brown smacks him into next week!

Rocky is from Philly[if it’s Rocky Balboa that is]. Hehe!

Im from South Philly, and I am sure I sound like I have a dialect to many of you guys….He can pass for Rocky because his NY dialect is very close to a south philly dialect that Rocky was so famous for@

Tell me you cant picture Drago screaming: “yO Adrian”?

NEWS*****
If john hasn’t broke this already. Akiyama just signed with the UFC. Big time signing and paves the way to Korea and Japan. Two for one. Very exciting time in MMA

for some reason…i like drago….he’s not the best fighter…he’s a bit of a wild card…but man..he’s been on the receiving end of some tough KO’s. he’s scrappy and keeps comming forward…not the best technique…but i like watching this guy fight…

with that said…i think Matt Brown by KO…

by TABASCOsauce on Feb 24, 2009 4:59 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

F that! I am not afraid to admit it! Big Drago fan OVER here!

He is never in a boring fight. All his fights are capable of being fight of the night or Ko of the night. He will Never be a contender but that doesnt mean I cant enjoy his fights. He keeps coming forward Terminator style…and he is willing to exchange with anyone!

If Drago beats Matt… These are fighters I would like to see Drago matched up against in the future:

Chris lytle
Dan Hardy
Marcus Davis
Paul Taylor

I like Matt Brown as well, but I think Drago will get this win!

Besides the GOnzaga/Carwin and Rampage fights this is the only other match up that will actually be entertaining!

ITS OFFICIAL BOYS!!!! The UFC has signed Yoshihiro Akiyama!

Instant threat to Anderson’s title. only guy to ever finish Akiyama was Jerrome LeBanner who is a ridiculously talented heavyweight K-1 striker!

uFC is coming for Japan STRONG!!!!!

I know Akiyama is a big star in Japan, but isnt he of Korean descent?

by john on Feb 24, 2009 5:27 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I am looking forward to my boy Tim Boetsch throwing some heavy hands at Brilz. I don’t know if it’s the entrance song or the man toss, i will always be a barbarian fan.

by NameNotRequired on Feb 24, 2009 6:02 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

NO doubt NNR!!!! Boetsch is a crowd pleaser! Big Barbarian fan!

what do u think of Akiyama signing with the UFC?

by john on Feb 24, 2009 6:17 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Big signing. I posted it up above but it’s in mod. Yea this is very exciting times especially in the UFC’s hope to invade japan. Competition wise though it will be a big step up from his past two fights so might need partial matchups. Maybe a matchup with a Belcher or something.

by NameNotRequired on Feb 24, 2009 6:24 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Yoshihiro is japanese… every Korean has three names like Lee Chun Soo or something like that

Drago trains with Serra and most of Matt Brown’s losses come by sub. If Drago were smart, which he’s not, he would exploit Brown’s BJJ weakness.

by brandongk4 on Feb 24, 2009 5:38 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

You’re right he is definately not smart…I don’t know who’s took the most brain bashings….Drago or Baroni??

im with ya man matt brown is one of my top 10 favorite fighters, never backs up and brings the violence! WAARRRR! MATT!

YUp, the UFC just got a lot sexier! hahaha

Instant threat to Anderson’s title!

I owuld like to see Akiyama throw Cote around like a ragdoll!

Sell’s forehead is pulsating.

Daym, fvck this office! They banned certain websites that we guys usually go to, and this is one of them. Now I know how chefdaddy feels, bein’ at a workplace but bein’ restricted. I’m actually using a proxy server right now, but at least I could still leave some comments…Would anyone care to explain wtf is happenin’ on this video? thanks a lot!

by Syd[a.k.a."The Negation"] on Feb 24, 2009 5:00 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Some 14-year-old fanboy runs around with a camcorder giving a verbal blow job to Drago while stuttering a lot.

by PW on Feb 24, 2009 6:13 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Isn’t this the same fanboy who was sucking up to Gonzaga recently in some ‘interview’?

by rbk on Feb 24, 2009 6:47 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

It was indeed…plus he talks toooo much and asks real shitty questions.

by Ca$z on Feb 24, 2009 7:29 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

That summary was spot on! lol

by Choke_Him on Feb 25, 2009 5:21 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I don’t see any reason not to like this guy other than the Long Island accent (Rocky was from Phili). Strong chin. Likes to scrap. This should be a good fight. Both are tough dudes. I see Sell pulling it out though.

by Boom Goes the Dynamite! on Feb 24, 2009 5:06 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Sell could win this fight easily if he just used some jits…I assume he has some descent BJJ training with Serra. I know he always wants to put on a good fight, but he may end up like Gurgel.

by MM_Eh on Feb 24, 2009 5:10 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

what the hell is wrong with having a long island accent. It’s just how we talk. I’m sure you say or do some things that would be weird to us. u can say that for anywhere. long island baby .. pete sell 2nd round tko

by longislandguy on Feb 24, 2009 5:13 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

You got me all wrong….I love that accent. Its actually my favourite American accent. Its real gritty…just a shame he makes it sound so dumb. :-)

by Ca$z on Feb 24, 2009 7:32 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Sell by tko due to Matt Browns suspect cardio and Sell’s relentlessness.

by scissorfight on Feb 24, 2009 5:21 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Guy scraps and I give him respect for that but one thing I didn’t like about this guy is when Serra was fighting GSP, this guy was talking a lot bout GSP. Saying that GSP can’t take a punch and so on and so on. Thats when he was 185 but even now at 170, he will never fight GSP. Brown and Sell, both like to scrap so it makes for an exciting fight.

by mhk on Feb 24, 2009 5:30 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I think he was proven correct in that fight.

by PW on Feb 24, 2009 6:13 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

He made these comments prior to the second fight and GSP proved it was a fluke. All fighters have a punchers chance but speaking down on someone your not even on the same level with is disrespectful.

If this were a drinking contest, I’d go for Drago hands down. But other than that, Matt has this one.

by poyb on Feb 24, 2009 5:46 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Why should i give a fuck about this fight????

Put it on the undercard.

by subwayy2sallyy on Feb 24, 2009 6:13 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

This should be a WAR! I got Drago!

by BeerMan on Feb 24, 2009 6:35 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

This fight should be on the UNDERCARD of a UFN show.

by Lester the Pimp on Feb 24, 2009 7:17 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Drago still has a UFC contract, are you kidding me ???

by See What Had Happend Was !!!! on Feb 25, 2009 3:26 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

Word!!!! I cant believe it either. This card is horrible, like I stated yesterday “I dont complain about cards” but this will be the 1st one in the history of the UFC that I dont pay for. I think they should throw Vera, Hamill and Grove in the cage at the same time for a 3-way deathmatch…lol!! I might even consider paying for that one!!!!!!!! This card is a joke and Im seriously disturbed as a full time fan that has paid for every PPV that the UFC has put on since the begining.

I like Pete Sell, I was a fan after his fight with Scott Smith where he was knocked out!
