Appeared to be a low life. He looks like a dirty, smelly, filthy drunk bum who got paid $5 to fight in the ring just 5 minute prior.
He thinks he's funny and making himself into a charachter with his constant fooling around, but he really looked like a filthy drunk American bum to the Japanese.
After his win, he began yelling at a cute Japanese girl bringing him his trophy and scared the poor little thing. He then grabbed her and tried to smooth talk her.
Wow. Based on seeing him one time you came to this conclusion? When Rampage did it, everyone loved him. I say you should meet the man or find out more about him before you label him a scumbag.
He is funny as hell. I loved it when he started to talking shit to the camera during the staredown.
And then in the end when he was excited and started to yell at the girl. Funny as hell. I hope Pride brings him back as soon as possible.
By the way, I thought you weren't supposed to spoil until the american PPV.
" Unlike you, I can't say whether or not he's a scumbag since I haven't met him."
Unlike you, I judge people by the way they act and Charles was acting like a scumbag.
"He seems to me to have an intelligence and creativity that contradicts his appearance."
He should use those qualities to project a better image. Acting like a drunken bum isn't exactly the epitome of intelligence and creativity.
"As for the yelling at the Pride girl thing, that was humourous. Not for the poor girl of course, you could tell she was generally frightened."
I could also tel that the Japanese were turned off by it and that only fans who can't watch MMA without a beer in their hands would find such a disrespectful act entertaining.
The very least he should show that his scumbag act is just an act by being a cool guy after the fight.
Right when I saw this guy turning his back on the camera during his entrance, I knew he had almost no creative ability. The rest of his performance only proved it. He might be intelligent in that he says "I'll just act really stupid and do stupid shit to market myself".
Intelligent? Yeah, I can see that. Creative? OMG no!!!!! I can find ten guys who do it better than him at the local bar broadcasting monday night football.
If a guy acted like him in a bar, you'd want to kick his ass. But since he's being a crazy drunk in the ring, it's funny?
And yes, I respect his fighting ablity. He's very athletic and that speaks for itself. So why contaminate skill with acting stupid?
