Lawal is a good fighter for having only a few fights. He suprised the shit out of me in the fight with Travis Wiuff.

He’s a lhw

by johnny boots on Mar 19, 2009 12:48 PM EDT reply actions

I bet u could make 185 tho

Mania, to say that Thompson was the man that almost kept the UFC out of Canada is ridiculous!!! He was in an MMA fight and he took the fight to the ground, thats it!

I thinkt heir referring to his ear getting popped open; he should have had that thing drained and taken care of it before the fight. The excessive blood from the ear explosion is what their referring to; not too many censors want that on tv.

O wait, I stand corrected, I remember what you’re talking about now, the fight where they had to run for their lives because the crowd was throwing things at them..

by O damn he got caught on Mar 19, 2009 2:32 PM EDT up reply actions

I cant beleive James weighs 271.8!

Sengoku doesn’t cap HW division still?? Makes sense, gotta keep it open for the freak shows when they come up.

by O damn he got caught on Mar 19, 2009 2:55 PM EDT up reply actions

No pictures/video of the weigh in anywhere? I’m curious to see if Thompson has put on muscle or just switched over to the 40 oz curls work out after his loss to Kimbo.

by O damn he got caught on Mar 19, 2009 2:58 PM EDT up reply actions

IDK but he has to be huge.
