He still pronounces GSP’s name like he’s trans-literating.

He is just looking for a brother.

Florian does such a great job. Molly Qerims rack looks phenomenal in that sweater during MMA for Dummies. God Bless her.

I echo everything you say.

That’s not a bad Rushmore, though I might swap Chuck out for Saku just to give it a little more diversity.

Not bad, but I’ll go against the grain and remove Randy and Chuck. Of course teh question is who goes in their place. I would say Sakuraba and…who knows. There are guys that may make it some day, like BJ or GSP. I guess I could live with Randy over Chuck.

You could argue that Randy is the modern Royce. Physically he was the underdog and won with his skill.

I just got a great mental image of Tim Sylvia in the octagon with one boxing glove.

Haha, no sign of Tito on that list. Take a hint buddy. ;)

Where’d that come from?
