that is a sweet scarf...I'm thinkin that might be the new fashion for Spring McArthur
Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.
So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.
Throw on a ruffled shirt, some corduroy pants, a driving cap and some fingerless gloves (not the kind with padded knuckles) and you’ll look groovy, baby, yeah!
The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful
ruffled shirt? I don't want to be a pirate

Randy's scarf > Fedor's jumper > GSP's suit
For a 46 year old he has a damn good sense of fashion.

Ummm… if Chael wins he gets a title shot?
I wouldn't worry about it
Cause it’s not happening

if Chael wins, he deserves the shot
Who else are they gonna put there. Maybe Wandy if he Mauls Bisping.
Chael wins on sat
Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.
AMERICA.....FUCK YEAH
Dont Count on That
No offense but I have never seen Nate so hungry and so dedicated to his camp as this. He wants the title. And also Chael wont get a shot. In my opinion if Chael wins the UFC will hope Anderson wins. Push Anderson to another 205 fight and hope someone else emerges at 185. It also depends on the outcome of the his Vitor fight. If its close then maybe a rematch before Chael gets a shot

Or if Vitor loses
Wand vs Belfort rematch

Kinda like....
Couture wins he is close to a Shot at the title.
Coleman wins he is much further away from a Shot.
Mr. Couture:
Please throw away anything resembling a scarf from your wardrobe ASAP.
Signed,

I started at MMA playground about 3 years ago

Next time there’s a thread about Anderson Silva someone will say “he speaks perfect English, he just has no respect…..”
No No
I am just saying its probbaly Hammer House. Or the guys he usually trains with

Wait Actually
Did I just make this up in my head but wasnt Shawn Tompkins training Coleman after he left XtremeCouture

Not even Tompkins can save his hands..
The man will never throw combo’s, I would be shocked to see a 3 punch combination from Coleman.

Wrestling is the best base for MMA. Coleman proves that, Couture Proves that, recently Brock and even Lashley have proved that. King Mo as well. Guys that train MMA for years can lose to a wrestler who hasnt really trained MMA
by AintNoSunshine on Feb 4, 2010 6:05 PM EST up reply actions
True to a point, and yet BJ Penn, Anderson Silva, Fedor, Machida and Shogun don’t have a wrestling base, and can defeat any wrestler in their respective weight class. Even GSP doesn’t have a wrestling “base” per se, since he picked it up later and never wrestled in college. GSP was a striker first.
You’re fight in that wrestling will get less experienced guys victories over good to very good fighters, but the truly great strikers who can keep a fight standing (or at least fight well off their backs with BJJ a la Anderson) are superior to any wrestling-first fighter, IMO. GSP may be the one exception to this, since his TDs are damn nigh unstoppable… but one of the main reasons they are so unstoppable is because he sets them up so well with his fast and accurate striking.

I should also add that as far as longevity and fighting past your physical prime goes, wrestlers will be able to compete at high level for longer (Couture, Coleman, Hendo) because the speed and razor-sharp refelexes so crucial to being a great striker are among the first physical attributes to fade… while physical strength and stamina are among the last.
