Manhoef / Aoki. . . They make things interesting..
If everyone was well-rounded, we would have 9 Roger Huerta fights on a UFC card with everyone going to decision...BLAH
Fuck that!
Get Manhoef in there! Do or die!!! Or Aoki ! ! ! Either it goes to the ground or else he's getting KTFO!
I dont get the bashing of Rickson / Aoki / Manhoef / Kimbo etc... It would be sooo BORING with the same well-rounded stuff.
"I think 20 years from now it'll be well-rounded fighters that are just naturally more talented in one area so Maneouf's and Aoki's will still exist they will just also have a strong background in other areas. "
The problem is that ppl just has one life, one body and days will be 24 hours long for 20 years from now

there's an old saying here in Spain... "quien mucho abarca poco aprieta"
There is a saying in the U.S. too.
"What the fuck does that mean?"
But here is a better one-
"Fuck your spanish phrase."

What up Tom.
Was that a joke? This isn't America, dude. It's the internet. It's everywhere in the world.
If it was a joke, I guess I didn't get it.
I always, always, always agree with O Bedlam. you should too.
Shields and Aoki are exceptional to one dimensional fighters' who doesn't stand a chance against well rounded fighters

Thank you.
There are almost more spanish speakers in your America than in Spain... So I thought some one could translate the sentence better than I could... just because my english sucks.
sorry If I couldn't make myself clear
I'll go back lurking
:)
BTW I love one dimensional fighters too that's what I like in MMA... being really good at one area and being able to take your opponent to your realms..
Yeah lets get fighter that never evoleve. Ranking would be useless. NO thanks.

Voted way up to counter the vote down from the terrorist
This thread is teh cojonudo
I prefer to call them "specialists".
I agree with OP. A bunch of "well-rounded" fighters, or jacks of all trades but masters of none make for boring fights. Often times the match is simply reduced to a cardio competition. I find stylistic match-ups very entertaining.
I also think that the Spaniard makes a good point as well--there is only so much time in life to train, so there are limits to improvement and all-around skill development. Though I have no idea what "quien mucho abarca poco aprieta" means. I put it in Google translator, and this came up:
"whom much covers little squeeze"
I am assuming its an expression equivalent to "more is less" or "don't spread yourself too thin" or some such.
Welcome to the American interwebs, Sajite :)
Thanks MMAmike; you put it in the corrects words
:)
I have no respect for 1D fighters. While watching them, I can't help thinking about how poor their work ethic and intelligence must be.
I love the specialists too, if they specialize in ko'ing or sub'ing you. 1D wrestlers are the worst

They are only the worst if they dont pick up any finishing skills.
Rashad, Koscheck, Lesnar are exciting dynamic fighters.
Guida and sherk have mixed in a little "t-rex no power boxing", But mostly rely on the takedown and positional control so they are boring....
