Lee Murray would be a superstar today

He fought Jorge Rivera in the UFC & triangled him.

Dude got stabbed in the heart. He was a savage. Badass MFā€™er.

I agree 100% he was McGregor before McGregor.

There used to be a body chart showing each stab wound. Quite a few. Heart, face, etc.

Yep.

I remember reading at the time the only reason he survived was because he was in such good shape.

That dude is fearless.

I listened to that.
Those guys do a pretty bloody good podcast.
They do their homework and get me laughing at some of their jokes.

One of the baddest men to ever participate in MMA.

Man you can pull out anyoneā€™s showing against Anderson if you want to discredit them. Why not show his fight against pele

Also heā€™d just left the ufc and was not at his best in the Ando fight. Iā€™d expect more from an old hand like you

To be fair, heā€™s not wrong like; Murray is a criminal scumbag who peddled drugs and extortion for years before he did the big heist which he was guilty of so got what he deserved. Itā€™s not like he was out working for the Redcross or was known as a dead on guy.

I never understood the pass that he gets.

Johnzandt isnā€™t wrong at all. Factually you are correct but itā€™s also not hard to understand the pass he gets

There have been millions of likeable outlaws across history both real and in stories

Itā€™s like saying Ned Kelly was just a thieving cunt

He doesnā€™t get a pass from me, heā€™s a real sociopath, violent piece of shit. But, once again, heā€™s like a real life Guy Ritchie character, so heā€™s going to be intriguing to people.

Everything of Lee was wound really tight. How he moves around so stiffly and over punches. He had to shake out his arms a couple times during the match to loosen up. You can see the stark contrast with how loose and fluid Silva is in all his movements and strikes.

Also Silva doing the oblique kicks and foot stomps way back in the day thats been the bane of mma fans today.

Good scrap and itā€™s a credit to Murrayā€™s striking prowess when you have Anderson fucking Silva playing it safe in the final minutes and actually shooting a takedown.

I get what youā€™re saying butā€¦

Itā€™s the same reason people love the character of Tyler Durden.

To correct you. His fight with Anderson got him in the UFC.
