    Chael Sonnen is one that comes to the top of my head.

    I am pretty sure Randy Couture lost by KO to some no names early in his career as well. I'll give you plenty more, give me a second to think on it.

    You act like no one else has been rocked or stopped by Diaz. Ask Robbie Lawler how it feels to take Diaz's punches, or maybe Shamrock. Both guys way bigger than him naturally and have taken shots from some pretty big punchers. such a child.

    Aoki was ko'd by some bum with almost 20 losses. I can't remember his name and don't care to look it up.

    Overeem lost by KO by some bum named Hoffman.

    I think I've made my point that you are clueless about MMA. You read alot. You have never stepped into an MMA gym. You have no clue how tough even regional fighters are. Like I said before, you're a child.

    Quit wasting your time Jarhead, TLC will argue for his favorites all day long. It's wasted energy to even debate with the guy.

    Outside of fedor im pretty sure about 95% of mma fighters have questionable losses someplace

    even inlcuding overeem, u can add GSP and silva to the list. So you have 3 of whats recogized as the top 5 in any order.

    some people are just absurd

    without a doubt, Silva got subbed quick by two relative no names early in his career.


    And no Z, I ain't Karl, fucker:kick:

    Chael Sonnen. :lol:

    He's never been KO'd, only stopped by his corner, and that was to two UFC fighters. Not random cans.

    Couture was first stopped by Josh Barnett.

    Yeah, real can.

    Such a child.

    Yeah most fighters do.

    Cyborg however is still a bum. :giggle:

    What did he gas, in round 2?

    :atu:

    Cyborg. :lol: If you can't beat an 18-13 can then you shouldn't even be champ in a minor league org like Strikefarce.

    Im not saying regional fighters aren't tough,

    Just not the likes of Angelo Arujo and Antony Rea(a guy who was laughed at when mentioned on Vitor Belfort's resume) Hypocritical as usual guys.


    Lets just put it this way, Cyborg got stopped by a guy who got destroyed by Zuluzihno...:laughing:

    Yep, a 20-8, well traveled UFC vet is the equivalent of a barely .500 regional circuit fighter.

    Good thinking Bob.

    It was well before Terry Martin ever made it to the UFC. And to call Terry Martin a well traveled UFC Vet is a stretch and you know it. He had what 4 fights in the UFC and was cut? Give me a break. He is your typical triple A ball player who gets called up while a guy goes on the injured reserve. No one ever expected him to stay long.

    Randy Couture was KO'd by Stephen Graham. That sure is a household name right?

    I notice you didn't even bother trying to defend your boy Aoki.

    You got owned, I'd say lets put it aside and go grab a beer, but I don't want to get a "contributing to minors" ticket.:Steve-Dave/MMA:

    You know what the funny thing is, I can't stand Cyborg:bangh: Argueing on his behalf really bothers me, him and his wife really repulse me.

    I think the kid was referring to Sonnen.

    6 actually. But don't let facts get in the way of a good story.

    Also numerous fights in other orgs such as SF, Bodog, etc. Typical 25-35 vet at his peak.
    Irrelevant anyway seeing as he didn't knock Sonnen out. He was retired by the corner.


    Again, Randy Couture won that fight, don't let facts get in the way of a good story, it's good entertainment.

    Sonnen quit like a bitch and didn't come out for the third round because he was getting the shit kicked out of him. Stop trying to sugarcoat it.

    Last I checked I was talking about dude's chins, not heart or determination.

    Follow along for once.

    He quit because Terry Martin was beating him senseless. Wake up.

    Did he get KO'd?

    Oh that's right.

    Oh and I forgot, Stun Gun handles Nick Diaz as well.

    Worse than KO'd. Got beat up and quit like a bitch. :TLC:

    in boxing, sure. in mma, no one really has a granite chin because you get hit flush w/ small oz gloves and it's lights out.

    i dont think diaz is a light puncher, but he doesn't put much weight behind his punches at times and it eventually pays off once his opponents are worn out. i think he's a smart fighter.

    You hate Diaz, TLC. I get it. He is a bit of a wannabe gangster punk. But don't let your bias cloud your vision. You have a pretty good knowledge of MMA, but you really don't get it quite yet. Its not a beauty pageant. Some guys win ugly and some guys just get by. That doesn't mean they aren't badass muthafuckers.

    And just to note a point, you still haven't acknowledged your boys Overeem and Aoki getting KO'd by no names.:shadow:

    It's not the Diaz brothers fault they act like that. It's Stockton's fault. Any of you been there? You'd be forced to agree.
