The guys a stud and reminds me of so many of the most skilled, tough wrestlers I know. They tend to be laid back, no pretense or bullshit kind of guys. They always seem relaxed, they never lose their cool but don't let anyone fuck with them. They never posture but if somd clueless asshole is dumb enough to miss the tell tale signs of a guy you don't want to get in a fight with he will stay calm and give you as much as you deserve. Just a man's man and he brings that work ethic, conditioning, durability and the kind of toughness that is hard to find in MMA absent a guy with a wrestling background. Wrestling is practiced more intensely than any any other Uvaet of MMA so you have to knock them out or catch them in a submission. They just don't seem to get bullied.. or pushed Around.

It’s a sin that Hendo doesn’t get mentioned a lot. He was so good, very good work ethic, insane wrestling, inhuman KO power, and humble

Bob arum? Golden boy? Yeah…take what you can get and try to make logical complaints. Also also, most pride fighters have come out and stated a lot of the matches were rigged, so the illustrious pride belt…really was a bullshit tainted belt.

My favorite fighter all time. He threw that overhand right like a fastball, and it was lights out if you were in front of it! He had the wrestling pedigree and serious striking. Watching him catch Bisping with that overhand was amazing. Crocop had the left high kick and Dan had the overhand right. Get caught with either of those and straight to the hospital 😆
