I agree with Pulsar.
"Is there even a point to insulting 'TUF' noobs anymore??? Being that TUF fighters SMASHED two of the top PfP MMA fighters in the world... This year no less!"
The general MMA knowledge of a "TUF noob" and skills of various TUF fighters are 2 different things imo.
"do TUF noobs think that takada really subbed coleman and drew with crocop or is that just the educated hardcore fans?"
I think U answered ur own ?.They've never seen the fight.
"Knowing that he says one stupid thing after the next, it amazes me that people can care so much about what he has to say."
I care because he's the figure head of the company that delegates this sport. I like Dana, and have met him several occasions, he's always been cool. I just don't like the way he's handling this.
This thread is about Fedor and Dana's dissrespect towards him and his accomplishments.
He's not a noob, just the ultimate troll.
I'll take that.
If Big Nog wins the UFC title will Fedor still be a farce and not deserving of a top 5 ranking?
"They only see shells of those fighters and think they suck. They don't realize they were regarded as some of the very best at the time."
Should they? Should we expect new fans to the sport to be as fanatical as us and look into the history of the sport etc? I think that's a little naive. It SHOLD be about the here and now, that's the problem i have with Frank Shamrock or other old schoolers not fighting... If you're in the game as an MMA fighter and don't compete you're not relevant.
He's definetely relevant, that's why they were trying to sign him. Who is more relevant IYO?? Any answer U give would be dumb.
U can PR it all U want but just look at the Thread "Dana Quotes" by Calhoon. It proves my point.
Bump.
"Who is more relevant IYO??"
Any fighter that competes at least 3 times a year - say 80-90% of the figher population.
Who's 'they' anyway.
Sure if Frank joins the MMa community and stops attempting to characterize himself as a pariah of the MMA scene he'll earn his top fighter status again.
"Who is more relevant IYO??"
"Any fighter that competes at least 3 times a year - say 80-90% of the figher population."
Get outta here. 80-90% who are ON FEDOR'S LEVEL!!!!! I can get a fight for 80-90% of the fighting community, but we are talking top of the line reps and accomplishments.
U didn't think this thru Pulsar...when u do, post.
