And really sad that his name seems to always get left out when talk of the UFC greats from years past comes up. When Mark Coleman was RULER OF THIS UNIVERSE and the shear mention of his name, would make the other top fighters sh!t their pants, and they wouldn't even discuss a fight with him.....'
Well, Maurice Smith not only accepted a fight with him.....
He BEAT him and took UFC gold FROM him.....
If not for a couple very unfortunate injuries, Mo would have been a HW version on Jon Jones of that era and we all would have STILL been talking about him.
you sir seem to really know your shit. are you up there in the n.w. usa training with mo and ivan?
That's why you turned down 8k in PrestigeFC 1 to fight me and asked for 8000/8000,even though you have like 60lbs on me. Your a 2 faced bitch. Get a life and stop wasting my time. No wonder most of Canadian mma fans cant stand your fake ass. Go Mo Smith!!!
grafzep - From what I can tell Mike C started running Hague down after Tim's silly comments about getting into clubs and other bullshit. I can't remember Tim's exact comments but they were goofy and I think that he posted something later wherein he regretted making them. Nothing directed to Mike C. It can be found somewhere on here if you are motivated.
Mike C, has come off as kind of a dick in my opinion through the whole thing, which seems to be really out of character. I think Hague must just rub him the wrong way. Whatever the case, I wish they would fight. I think Mike C's wrestling would be the difference maker though I do like Hague as well.
As for the fight with Smith. I understand the need to make money but there would seem to be little profit in fighting a 50 year old man.
The weird thing is it really seems out of character from both guys. I've met Tim, and he was insanely polite, even to a drunk little old lady that was asking him a billion questions about being a fighter, not to mention he signed a bunch of stuff for the staff of my workplace to give out during UFC fights. And Mike lived here in Fort McMurray, and although I dont think I've personally met the guy (I might have in the casino and just not recognized him) but I have heard nothing but great things around town about him.
shit isnt getting real, i have no fued with him. he is a nobody to me. hagues 2 faced loser and called me out a few days after trying to be my bff. he could have been a man and told me he had a problem at prestigefc2 when we talked but instead he only told guys at the event behind my back like a coward.
guys a legend in his own mind. half of canadian mma fans know this and cant stand him. he talks to get attention but when he had a chance to fight me in prstigefc he outpriced himself. he isnt even best hwt in canada. ryan fortin would smash him.
i just had surgery today thus the shitty post with no caps. i dont have time to waste arguing on the net anymore. im focused on rehab and being a better martial artist.
Mike was brought in to train the guys at Bowman's gym in Ft. Mac. A gym that is affiliated with my MMA coach, Kyle Cardinal's gym. Kyle routinely goes up to Ft. Mac for seminars and coaching and such, and has trained with Mike C, and Myself more than enough. Says if we ever fought, I'd do well in against the gamer that is Mike C. A lot of people close to Mike, that I know as well have told me repeatedly that he runs his mouth about how he can beat me.
So I drive up to Ft. Mac to corner a fighter that I train, and Mike C is fighting in the main event. After watching his fight, I'm like, "did I just witness that? Is this guy on fucking meth?" So I ask Sandy Bowman (owner of prestige) if I can fight mike on the next prestige card.
I hear a lot of excuses from the Mike C camp. He's going to 205 (meanwhile he just had to cut weight to make 240), You're too big for him (ill make 255 no problem). This coupled with the fact that he did fight, and beat a heavyweight in the UFC, who is bigger than me, and I write him off as a pussy.
Then out of nowhere I get a call to fight Mike C for $4000+$4000, 14 days before my next contractually obligated fight. 1. I couldnt accept because I already had a fight signed. 2. I was making $6500+$6500 in said signed fight. Unhappily, I declined.
Circumstances are different and I'll announce it on here I suppose. If a contract for $4000+$4000 is placed in front of me, to fight Mike C @ HW, I'll sign it,... Twice. Doesn't Matter when or where, after my Jan 20 fight in Brazil.
Should be the end of the thread. No further words need be said till' contracts are signed. Hey Mike I know aggression is holding a card in Edmonton. I'll have them forward you an offer.
TIMHAGUE - Right on. I have a new manager who asked if i wanted to fight in Brazil, the opponent went from Bob Sapp to Maurice Smith, i didnt ask questions.
I hope he kicks your fucking ass. But that's just me. Good luck.
