(waiting for a 4 page rant from leonard)
Werdum, he's that awesome top notch talent guy like Cro Flop that was to rule the UFC HW div?
Last time I saw Werdum in the UFC his ears were getting woggled by one of those 'scrub' UFC HWs.
Those pride HWs sure ruled the UFC. Uh huh.
Now thse awesome pride HWs who don't dodge top comp are fighting the best.....in Strikeforce![]()
Guess we know why FakeDor is dodging the UFC so much.
Doesn't want to look like a total failure, so he'll fight the best out there...in Strikeforce
FakeDor Gump, Runnnn Fake Dor runnnn
Poor Sokoudjou is going to lose on National TV (Free). I hope Rogers wins to end the Fedor debate and nuthugging. Im looking foward to the Shields fight more.
I don't even have to say anything in the thread. It looks like it's been covered.
Don't piss dallaskd off.
