Jeez
Diego is one of the weirdest dudes in the whole world probably, I mean that guy is somethin else

that's why he's into all that yoga and meditation
that’s what it takes to keep him calm enough not to stay out of a straight jacket and a padded room. Dude is seriously off!
ha ha at both pics!
Good for Kongo. Don’t give that POS any satisfaction. Respect. Wtf kinda jaw do you call Diego’s? Something else I tell ya.

Bj licks thick as blood off his gloves after every other fight just about,what the fock is so normal about that.lol.
Going on a limb
Im going to go on a limb here’’’ kongo will stuff Mir’s takedown attempts and KO him rnd 1!
Kongo: Kongo bored, Kongo want to train now.
Trainer: Kongo we must work on your takedown defense, so you can beat all fighters.
Kongo: Me Kongo’ me no like wrestle me like kik, Punch’’’
Trainer: No, no’’’ that’s bad Kongo, Kongo be gooood’ and learn wrestling!
Kongo: U make Kongo very mad! Kongo kik-punch Trainer!
Trainer: ok’’’ ok!… Kongo no wrestle.. Kongo kick punch!
Kongo: Kongo very happy!,,, Kongo like kik punch!
that's probably exactly how his training sessions go
And then God said "Let there be light," to which Chuck Norris replied, "say please."
Say YES if you wanna say YES!
You’re right Thorazine, but what ppl don’t realize is that Kongo should be considered the favorite.stepping into this fight.
ROBERTOOOO"" MMYYYY MAN'''
At last…Agreement!. Mir beat a ‘GREEN’ Lesnar and a ‘STAFF INFECTED’ Nog to carry his reputation on as a winner. If Kongo can finally show that he’s done nothing but work on takedown defense and BJ defense he should be able to handle himself…. if ‘NOT’ Kongo is beyond help and ‘fronst!’ is right… .. I also gotta ‘agree’ with fronst’, for a 1st time… ehhh’’’ between agreeing with both of u…..I threw up…just a little bit…
Randy for Couture
AM I THE ONLY WHO THINKS DIEGO IS COOL!? love that guy! cant see him winning though but fuck it maybe heel do a ‘YES handstand’ next!ha

Or Clay judging by the way he acted during weigh-ins..
What a moron, you’d swear he was just about to throw down right there, jumping around like a douche.
I"m no Ned Flanders punk!!
I hope someone manhandles that retard.
And just Lays him the F out ! Just pins his head down and knocks him out cold, throws the ref away and keeps on punching while screaming, “are you gonna calm down now you retard!!!”
Lol
Imagine how dumb diego is gonna be after taking 200 punches to the head from BJ on saturday night.
I dont know if its just me....
But Penn looks like a tan e.t. with a horse show taper around his head in that picture.lol.I mean dang your only about 29 or 30 and your rocking the Dr.Phil like its cool.Never sport the Dr.Phil while your barely touching 30.Thats a negative.lol.
his teeth must be strong, cos the jaw is working overtime!!!!!!!

Mir & Kongo
I hope Kongo wins just because Mir is an arrogant asshoe! I think Mir bulking up is bad for him because first of all he wasnt that fast of a heavyweight to begin with and i think it will affect his cardio. His takedowns suck too. Kongo no doubt sucks on the ground but at least he’s not talking ish about Mirs standup being garbage compared to his.
by StringBeanRickJamesLookinFool on Dec 11, 2009 6:37 PM EST reply actions
yea, i can't see what the point was of bulking up
the only thing i can think of is him scared of being overpowered again like in the brock fight. his standup is already slow, it’s going to be even worse. hope he gasses and gets his face punched in. then brock comes out and yells at him all bloodied up.
i cant believe mir came it at 264
…hes looking beastly…its scary that he had to cut weight just to make the limit….he’ll be up to 275 probably at fight time…..
i realize this site is full of mir haters, and they solely want him to lose just for the fact they think hes a douche and that fact alone…but you cant just be like “mir is gonna lose cause hes a douche and overrated and sucks” that is just idiotic…..you might as well just say “kongo is gonna win cause hes nice and classy”…personality doesnt have shit to do with what happens in the cage….
people here call mir “overrated” and say he “sucks” but what would u call kongo? would u say hes “not overrated”? does he “not suck”?
that fight with kongo and herring was the most atrocious thing ive ever seen in my life….the way those guys rolled around on the matt….it was god awful….this isnt gonna be heath herring that kongo is rolling around with for 15 minutes…..
i just dont see kongo taking this….yea he has the best striking in the hw division….and some of the most vicious gnp…but mir isnt just gonna stand like a jackass and trade with him….i say it gets to the ground and looks similar to the kongo/cain fight but with more sub attempts….
but then again, kongo could land one punch and mir’s head goes flying into the 3rd row…but i dont see it
jake shields is the highest ranked fighter to have never fought i highly ranked fighter...i cant wait till hendo signs to strikeforce and murders that talentless waste of flesh..
i know i should have put an "a" instead of an "i" between the words "fought" and "highly" above..but i aint changing it, cause thats how gangsta i am
Well Hella...
I think they’re both overrated so no arguments at all. Irrelevant matchup of two irrelevant fighters. BTW I’m glad we agree about Mariusz being a beast!!! War super mario!!!
And then God said "Let there be light," to which Chuck Norris replied, "say please."
Mir brought it all on himself
If Mir would lower his doucheness and up his respect, people would notice his talent. Until then, he will be labeled a douche. If he really wouldn’t talk shit, I’m sure people would take him serious. Obviously there needs to be hype behind fights, but Mir takes it to a whole different level. I don’t know how he didn’t learn from his last beating. You would think after getting skull fucked by Lesnar, he would show some respect. I guess not.
He is too obsessed with Lesnar and over-looking Kongo … which may come around and bite him in the ass.
Kongo is not overrated
He is rated exactly where he needs to be, and I really do not think most fans rate him any higher than where he stands in the divsion at the moment, but Mir is definately put up on a pedestal, which he really has no ligit reason to be on. As I have said many times and was said earlier, beating a green Lesner and a 50% Nog is not reason enough, and although I think that Kongo would not fair well against most top heavyweights purely because of his unwilligness to evolve, but i think he will take Mir because I never really looked at Mir as a top heavyweight. Some may well say he will lose just because he is an @sshole, but there are others who genuinely beleive he really isn’t as good as the posistion he holds in the heavyweight division.
Staredown
That’s all Diego’s winning this weekend…the stare-down. I think Diego could be all pumped up and brag about his heart, but when you look at the fight on paper, Penn has the overwhelming advantage. I would say Diego literally has a puncher’s chance and that’s it.
E.Ts gonna be phoning home to mommy again
Once Diego taxes that ass tommorrow and upsets all of the BJ deep throaters that wasn’t here EARLIER this year after he got embarrassed by Georges “the candaian robot” st.pierre ala total rapage.lol.I better hit Wal-mart early because im going to be handing out a lot of tissues and hankys come 11:30…12:00 for B.J. and for some of his fans.lol.I’m looking forward to it.
pretty stupid post overall
I know it, you know it…Penn’s the favorite, he’s probably going to win and your only acting cocky so you can say “I told you so” if Diego happens to win. Most likely you’ll shut up about this after tomorrow night…I can tell your just trying to push people’s buttons though, you’re smarter than that post.
Mir isnt making too many friends lately...
Congo looks like the idiot IMO. This could be a pretty good fight. Im leaning towards Mir because we all know that Congo hasnt evolved at all with his TDD, and Mir is pretty dangerous from his back. He just has to make sure he doesnt get touched too many times before it hits the ground. Congo could definetely knock him out if given the opportunity…
Whats up McArthur???
I’ve been around… Just been on my grind, doing my thing~ This is the first time I’ve posted in a long time but I always check out the threads. See a few of the old regulars on here. Gotta ask though, where’s Kevin???
HE'S AROUND
Allamerican, check out the post on the right side of the home page. He puts up a bunch of threads there that are pretty good.
"K"ongo looks like the idiot?
How is that? Mir talks shit and insults Kongo as a person and that’s all ok? When the person that all the jabs are aimed at basically says fuck off….he’s the bad person?
LOL!!! I didnt pick up on my mis-spelling of Kongo...sorry dude...
I agree that Mir is the one talking all the trash, as usual…But Kongo shouldn’t have turned his back away. He should have stared him right in the eye. Turning away like that say’s nothing to me but it looks to the average person like he might be a little scared. I never said Kongo was a bad person at all. Hell, I think Mir has done more than enough to make me dislike him lately. I know Im not the only one either!!! I think Kongo is falling into Mir’s trap by showing all this emotion…
i can't believe i'm the only idiot that thinks diego"i'm not the sharpest tool in the box"sanchez has a chance!!

What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.
mir is trying way to hard.
after lesnar beat him down, he’s been trying to convince himself (more than anyone else) that he’s still has the ability to get back to the top. Even if it means talking his way there.
he's a tit
i respect anyone that has the balls to get in the ring/cage (i hate the use of the word cage, because it degrades our sport into a barbaric free for all, instead of the glorious art form it is), but mr mir is lowering the tone of our gracious respectful participants, respect being the buzz word. just because cheick is not the most fluent speaker of english, there is no need to try to embarass him at a press conference and degrade him, i would like to see mr mir speak in another language, just because he couldn’t and would be made to look like the tool that he is. i hope kongo knocks his “i crashed my bike, and used it as an excuse for being shit for 5 years” head off

Spot on
I’d like to hear Mir speaking French, chances are it’ll be even worse than mine.

Tito Ortiz after UFC 106
Nothin to do with THIS
Anderson Silva didn’t have the skills to make it as a boxer, so he had to go down a couple of levels to MMA
It’s the same story with Dana- he was a pathetic boxer and a useless promoter
Now Dana robs UFC fighters for a living. The amounts he pays his fighters, relative to the amounts of money they generate leaves me with no doubt that he is a much bigger thief than Don King back in his prime
FYI Mayweather’s cutman will earn more than any MMA fighter in history in Money’s upcoming bout
whats your point???
mma is a relatively new sport, boxing has been the only established professional combat sport for over 130 years, ever since the marques of queensberry introduced the rules that govern the sport today. boxing is only one disipline of mma. instead of asking how mma athletes would fare in boxing, you should invert the question and ask how one dimentional boxers would cope in mma, and then your out dated approach to combat sports would be incredibly enhanced, think about it

No RVCA in UFC
UFC is not letting fighters wear RVCA gear. More money the UFC is robbing from their fighters just because Fedor is sponsored by them. Wack! I’m pretty sure fighters and owners from other organizations ride Harleys are they gonna drop them next?
by StringBeanRickJamesLookinFool on Dec 11, 2009 7:23 PM EST reply actions
UFC Is another Evil Empire
For all the good they do for MMA their shutting down other companies for putting money into the sport. I dont see why RVCA can’t sponsor Ufc and Strikeforce fighters other UFC allowed brands do it. DANA IS A HATER
Diego better calm down just a tad...
or he is gonna be pulled from the card due to a self inflicted broken jaw and shattered teeth
" LISTEN!...you smell something?"
sorry but i was getting all teary eyed...
..while watching my brock lesnar “here comes the pain” wwe dvd…..i miss my brocky brock…everytime i see mir i miss the brockness monster more and more… :(
i hope he returns soon….
and i hope he returns at 100% a solid 280 bigger and stronger than ever just in time for jake shields contract to expire at strikforce…so that shields comes to the ufc and i can finally see my dream match..
the only time i could ever jerk off seeing a fight…
BROCK LESNAR VS JAKE SHIELDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GODDAMN THATS MY DREAM FIGHT….i swear if i win the 100 million powerball lottery this weekend in georgia im gonna give dana and the fertitas 10 million cash out of my pocket to make that fight happen no matter what it takes….
BROCK LESNAR VS JAKE SHIELDS!!!!!!!!!! FUCK YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just really want to see shields do his buttsex merry go round position gay porn attempts on brock and see how that works out for him……
god that fight….
sorry but i had to get my one a day hate post of shields out of the way…i wouldnt be complete without one….
mir made me think of brock who is my favorite fighter in the world and while thinking of my fav fighter it made me think of my most hated fighter….and how bad i want to see them fight each other…so its not my fault, its mir’s fault..
hella out
jake shields is the highest ranked fighter to have never fought i highly ranked fighter...i cant wait till hendo signs to strikeforce and murders that talentless waste of flesh..
i know i should have put an "a" instead of an "i" between the words "fought" and "highly" above..but i aint changing it, cause thats how gangsta i am
Wow that's alot to digest

sorry man....
yea if you ever see “hellahectic” and “jake shields” in the post, just kinda skip past it….its more than likely just me rambling about my hatred for shields…..its just a long rant….just kinda skip down to the bottom or something, normally thats where i put actually something of substance pertaining to the thread itself…..which i just did a couple posts up…
but yea, i do miss poor brock
and i think mir takes it by decision…..bj by tapout in the 4th….

Whatever
Brock will always be remembered for getting subbed by Mir and being too green to tap, so he spanked him on the butt. It always makes me laugh.
UFC still needs another division.
There is no other weight class that has the discrepancy that the “HW” division does.
um no not really
i bet if you ask any mma fan what their most memorable brock lesnar moment is in the ufc i seriously doubt they will say “the time mir tapped him”
u might as well say mir will always be remembered as the guy who blacked out from punches by lesnar….stood up with lesnar in his face and still not having any idea what just happened

First off your Brock comment about tapping/spanking and being remembered for it is…well..stupid
Regarding your splitting the HW division…..people already complain the division is too shallow. What would adding a second division in there do? Please give us an answer.
"Maybe Mur is going through menopause and is retaining water"---Ubernoober
Frank Mir never had the greatest cardio or speed before i wonder how this extra weight will effect that. I dunno if his frame is ment to hold this much weight. Would anyone else be interested in another division that like 225 or 230 so smaller HW could cut down cause some guys just gont have a chance of beating brock
by groundfightingislovemaking on Dec 11, 2009 10:22 PM EST reply actions
yea but the thing is
we’re starting to have a lot of guys pushing the 250 and up weight now……
shane carwin is 265
todd duffee is 260
mir is now 264
chase gormley is 265 – although he sucks freaking balls
tim hague is 265 but the duffee fight was so quick who knows how good he is
herring is 250 if he ever fights again
mike russo is 255
rothwell 255
big country 265
so there are a good number of guys in the ufc over 250 that are considered in the “larger hw” range for guys like brock to fight

I agree…the whole point to having weight divisions is to keep it even in the size department..so nobody has a huge weight advantage..you might have a few pounds difference here and there come fight night, but the HW division gaps are just silly…and I know…dividing it would thin it out even more but the HW division looks better than ever as far as numbers of good fighters go, and I can only see it getting more stacked in the future, so I, for one, would like to see a HW and a super HW division in the next 2 years or so…
" LISTEN!...you smell something?"
God help us if Diego WINS...
He’ll come out looking like Neo from The Matrix at the next fight.
Imagine the babble from the fook if he is elevated to champion.
Diego is so weird…He makes BJ look normal.
All about Mir n yea, they should have another weight class
Ive followed Mir since his debut in the octagon…i imagine a bunch of these people with uneducated comments and more or less wishful opinions are under 20…Mir isnt that overated, he is a force to be reckoned with…
i listened to his interrview and he makes complete sense..hes just being himself these days…he doesnt care what people think..and thats good..he said he use to hold back what he’d like to truly say on TV n people still got offended..and he’s “thinking damn, i wonder what they’d say if i actually told them exactlywhat i thought”…and its nothing Hateful (except for prob Brock now), its correct, and constructive criticism… He’s one of the best and most educated commentators out there, one of the few veterans..as in pre-2005 (T.U.F. show) before UFC blew up, that has if not evolved, has been trying significantly, and have decent success with it..
I also understand that unless ur from the same camp u dont wanna hear critique from anyone..and Frank doesnt mind being proved wrong…hes gracious in loss and moves forward..Even if he does get knocked out, which i dont think he will, what does that prove..?just that Kongo can Knock people the fuck out! uhhh..yea that would be Kongo’s highlight reals….and everybody knows that..
U gotta look at people like Mir: Penn, St.Pierre, Anderson, Machida, who have wins in many different fashions(TKO, KO, variety of submissions, gone the distance, etc.) that transcend as a testament that they may have their bread and butter(like how Mir’s is obvously submissions,), but can, have, and will be able to continue finishing opponents in many different fashions.
When Kongo starts submitting guys and start showing rounded skills then im sure frank would at least acknowledge like, “yea he still sucks but hes gettin better”…
Thats my biggest thing on Brock, i respect his size and everything, but to dominate a division soley on weight/size advantage is faggy…its smart and u can rack up wins, but like how Tito Ortiz found out..he use to be the king of cutting down weight n then owning people because he was just that much bigger, but then once people start being just as big, well then it came down to technique…Fedor is The testament and epitamy of a true fighter…he could prob cut down to 205, but hes just the greatest in that he always finds a way to win….
I like Mir’s point of view now these days…its like if u lose or get knocked out etc…but u were all polite n shit on camera, is it really that much worse if u lost but spoke who u really were before the fight?No, nothings really worse than the actual LOSS..
the public and media may have idiots thinking otherwise, but they’re just doin their jobs which is to expose and ridicule and infuriate the fighter that lost…and since a third (at least) of the world is pretty retarded, thats more than enough to start getting the wrong idea spread…
thats why i dont care much for Brock..He’s a behemoth/Goliath..and until he starts having the confidence and ability to pull off submissions etc..i wont have that much respect for him..and there lies the problem…
Why should he since he can just own them and do it his way? and thats why i give props to Frank for trying to fix that deficit equation and weight differential…I went to UFC 100 and He was more than capable and has way more tools than Brock ever will have, except the size advantage..and these days even that can be figured out…and I commend Frank for not giving up..if bulking up is the best way to take on Brock…(which is his long term goal) thats a real good thing..it shows his true spirit, desire, yearning, and motivation to go out there and add another element in the fighting game: Size. And that, really is just an example of an mma fighter trying to excel and get better(and get some payback :) in the process)
-oh and yea ive always said that they should have Light HW, Middle HW or just HW (or something more clever), and Super HW or Extreme HW… 205-220, 225-245, 245-265. respectively.
-Anyone beg to differ on this essay?? logically?? Please do
-Ruda
Yeah' I differ'
I usually don’t respond to fly by night commentators. name’s like ‘Ruda’ that rarely posts… u may have watched Mir since his octogon entrance… and if u consider that criteria, I’ve watched more than I can count since UFC 1. It orginally started out as to who had the best style regardless of weight class. Brock doesn’t have the best style but he is arguably the single best fighter in the world , I’m ‘not’ talking about P4P. Who’s the best regardless of size advantage? Common sense points to the heavyweight…. Tito is NOT a heavyweight and is not a division 1 wrestling champion. Brock definitely ‘DID NOT SOLEY’ win because of size advantage. Wrestling is a serious skill and if u don’t think Brock has serious skill & extreme athletic ability and solid wrestling n’ BJ defense, just look at Fighers that have gotten far with their wrestling ability in competitive weight classes..wrestling is a skill,… As far as Frank goes he’s an ego manic, he’s not realistic in with his fights since he beat Nog. He has been cocky n’ confident, n’ full of crap… he beat a ‘GREEN’ Lesnar and a ‘STAFF INFECTED’ Nog…. I don’t think Frank is even a top 5 heavy if the top 10 all fought eachother today’. not close, but… on paper… for beating Lesnar and Nog…. he’s top 5.
wtf..
check out the look on her face.
Who you talking about, the women with the purple undies, small schoonover's and long curly hair??
I"m no Ned Flanders punk!!
For Thorazine"
sorry, i dont have internet, therefore i must utilize my time at work to choose what places to go on break on the entire WWW. kinda meaningless at this point after Mir did what i said he’d do, but….???? told u so…. n what is BJ defense…i dont think they’re gonna be fighting BJ Penn anytime soon… and yea, i wrestled in high school and know what a great base it is…im just eager to see Lesnar expand more than size…pull off submissions, better standup etc
