It really has to suck when your opponent fears the smell of you more than your MMA skill...

He who walked the road of danger
Master of revenge
Death's no stranger

Blood and death lived on his sword
The god of war his only lord
Into the depths of hell
Go all he fell"

Fear of a smelly blanket in Lindland's case.

Didn't Rampage bust on Lindland for the same reason?

Big John once made him take a shower if i remember right.

I am pretty sure it was him……BJM said it on a radio interview. Anyone can confirm?

Filthy bastard!

Lol, It'd bring tears to Lindlands eyes too as the flesh was peeling off his bones.

I’ve wrestled with a few and it’s the worst. And I swear they’re more greasy too. So on top of the stench, you’ve got a slippery son of a bitch to deal with too. Maybe it’s something about the lack of bathing and not getting oil off the skin.

The thing with linland though is that he does it

intentionally. And he’s a known cheater and he’s teaching his protege chael to be just like him.

I don't think Chael needs to be smelly to beat the champion..

Chael does the fake tap just like Matt does..

Conan : You are known as a striker. Is that correct? Tell me what that means.

That's About The Only Attribute Left in Lindland's Favor.

He’ll get submitted or KO’d by anyone decent.

Shogun's knee will explode for the final time when Rashad shoots for the takedown.

Hahaha

I love how the entire conversation is about the smelliness. I suppose its to be expected when you read the title. Anyways, I think it’ll be a good fight. Looking forward to it, and hopefully both fighters will be smelling fresh! (for their sake)
