no market for women in the industry... i'm not sexist, but the fights would not be as entertaining as the men's fights.

Sad to say but I think it is and end for the legend Chuck Lidel.,The Edge or age or whatever it is seems to be gone. Some of these guys still live modestly. Chuck has a fancy home and few expensive sports cars and has a high lifestyle. Who knows what it is but I think Chuck should retire. Maybe one more but if he loses again. Call it quits and hang em up. Too much young blood out there now. Im still a big Uriah Faber fan but I kinda see him losing the Guy next door thing and becoming more hollywood. Too bad, it will get him in the end, lose the edge and your days are numbered. The only thing i laugh about is every time a match is scheduled each guy says how "Man Im going to Knock the F out of that guy" then in round 1 bingo the big talker is on the mat. I know you have to be confident but even Bruce lee said never underestimate your opponenet. if you do you will miss the heavnly glory lol. But its True.

Anderson Silva fight the worst, Silva should be embarrased and should relinquish his belt for such a poor performance!

Wasn't Silvas fault imo, Thales didn't do anything except fall down and fake eye gouges.

Bj Penn remember him on ultimate fighter reality show? talked a lot but got crushed. Funny thing is Bj Resembles that guy on Gs to Gents lol. I almost thought i had a flashback lol. But I do throw out a big RIP to Mask, Founder of Tapout. May he Rest in peace. We will miss you brother.

its all your environment, some can box some can grapple, if your slow and get caught your grappling means nothing. same for toe to toe if your slow and get taken down and cant wrestle your done. But if you have both and can use them effectivley then you can dominate. Seems most rely on one or the other. Just because you know martial arts means nothing. I had a buddy who didnt know much but street fighting. he whooped a guy who had years of training in martial arts. you walk into a fight thinking man im big stuff i know all this and i know all that whamo you get caught and your done. ive seen it many times.

but hey lol i just said Id whoop him whoops means im done lol. not really but i love the trash talkers who get their butts kicked. I laugh though at all the guys who wear tapout gear. I had wanted to buy shirts and shorts but then i began to see the wannabees fat guys and wimpy guys sporting tapout stuff. I decided i wouldnt buy any. I understand being a fan of it and you can wear what you wear but every time i see some guy wearing a tapout shirt I have to laugh, big fat guy who is slow and loves mcdonalds lol. I really havnt seen any fighter types wearing the gear. there may be some but where i live its all fat guys or little guys lol.

I THINK UFC SHOULD SHOW GREAT FIGHTERS. THEY WANT TO KEEP PUTTING THE OLD TIMERS IN ONLY TO GET THEREBUTT KICKED. I'M GLAD I DID NOT WASTE MY MONEY ON THE PAY PER VIEW. IT'S GOTTEN TO BE A BIG WASTE OF MONEY. DANA WHITE SURELY CAN COME UP WGITH A BETTER FIGHT CARD THAN HE DOES. HE'S LOST MY MONEY. TO BAD, I USED TO LOVE UFC. I'VE WITH SHOTIME FOR GREAT FIGHTS.
