Not that it matters
Would be cool if all fighters came to the press conference in sweet suits, instead XXL Hoodies and Caps.
I’ve always hated it when guys show up in sweats, with their earphones on. If you’ve got something better to do then go do it. Growing up playing hockey, If I didn’t wear a tie to the game I was benched. My coach said it was not just out of respect for myself, but a show of respect to our opponents, and if you’re professional, it’s a show of respect to your fans.
I am blinded by a sea of green.
I agree that it's more professional to suit up
but these guys aren’t kids playing hockey, they’re grown men. I do believe that GSP plays the part of champion well and always wears a suit. It’s just not for everyone I guess.
ITS ON!!!

Diego never seems completely at ease with himself, its always a forced, awkward, kind of contrived persona. Kinda painful to hear him try to be entertaining.
I wanna grab him and say, “Buddy, relax, its ok. Just be yourself.”
It didn't seem THAT forced...
I think he IS that guy… kind of unfunny… it’s all good. We can’t all be a funny tiger. :)

I’ll take Diego crazy over Frank “smart” any day.

He’s now officially crazy. Maybe he will do BrockLesnar! Cartwheel?

Frank Mir has mentioned going into law when he’s finished fighting. As a law school grad I have one piece of advice for him: “DO IT!” He’s a natural.
Did I mention that I absolutely hate about 80% of lawyers?

How long until Mir starts talking about Torres?

humble party of one?…. oh you’re not here
I'm looking for the chicken and the rice. Please for you give me the chicken then you come with the rice or then you give me the rice and the chicken, I don't care.

blackout told me and made facts of how Mir’s delusions of grandeur aggressively escalated after KOing Big Nog. He didn’t take in effect Nog just coming out of a hospital. He thought he KO’d him out of sheer talent. People say Sanchez is in a world of his own, Mir is in a world that just includes him.

Machida/Shogun and this card have been the best since 100.

That would be a sign of mental weakness. He’s so mentally strong that he will enter arena doing Yus! Cartwheel.
by dancingChicken on Dec 10, 2009 2:20 PM EST up reply actions
Sigh...
The YES! cartwheel was a lot funnier before everyone started quoting it random posts. Similar to the over-abundance of sexyama jokes.
He’ll probably be too busy saying “ouch”.
The only thing Jon Jones does better than Matt Hamill is hear.
(And smash faces)

Man oh man
I will buy everyone I’m around a beer if after Diego comes out with his patented “YES!”, and during BJ’s walkout, he keeps saying “NO!”

Did you see that muscle in Diego's jaw?
Dude looked like he was trying to give himself a heart attack through pure willpower.
