Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

What a fighter means when he says...

 

"Ì`d like to fight him"--- I can whoop him good!

"He`s a legend of the sport"--- He used to be good, but now I can whoop him good!

"I want a title-shot" --- I don`t deserve to fight for the title, but I will publicly whine about getting one to look like I actually do deserve it.

"I like to stand and bang" --- I have no head-movement. I have no ground-game. I can`t hit a moving target. Please stand still so I can hit you!

"I was only trash-talking..."--- Please! I want you to like me! 

"I was never out!"--- I was out, but I lost to many braincells to remember it.

"I fight for the fans!"--- I fight for ME! And I love that you love me, cause I want you to love me as much as I love myself!

"I`m prepared to go three hard rounds if I have to!"--- The rumors about me not doing any cardio are not true. NOT true I tell you!

Thank you. I`m hoping to get to translate for one of the brasilian fighters soon. I don`t really speak any portuguese, but on the other hand, most of the current translators don`t speak any english so I think I may actually have an advantage there.

What about these? What do these mean?

-Come (insert date of fight here), you’re gonna see a new (insert own name)
-People haven’t seen my hands yet. I can strike.
-This is the best training camp I’ve ever had.
-I’m in the best shape of my life.
-This fight will not go to a decision.

by MMAEruption on Jun 16, 2009 7:31 PM EDT reply actions  

Come (insert date of fight here), you’re gonna see a new (insert own name)- I really need to win this fight so I don’t get cut

People haven’t seen my hands yet. I can strike.- I have no power but the guy I’m fighting has a glass jaw

This is the best training camp I’ve ever had.- This was the most expensive training camp I’ve ever had.

I’m in the best shape of my life.- I gassed in my last fight so I’m hoping this one ends in the first so I don’t have to answer those questions again

This fight will not go to a decision.- This fight will most likely go to a decision.

Due to Cheick Kongo's atrocious takedown defense....

“People haven’t seen my hands yet. I can strike.”
I can`t strike. But if I lie through my teeth, wave my hands around in the air and shout “boooo!” really loud… I might just be able to get a single-leg takedown."

“I hate mustard” – I don’t really hate mustard. You only hate something if you spend part of each day thinking about how much you hate it.

‘BLACK ON BLACK CRIME!!’ – I am deeply concerned with the plight of today’s urban youth.

’I’m not afraid of his wrestling’ – I am TERRIFIED of his wrestling

‘Give it up for my opponent!’ – He can barely hear you, but I’m sure he’ll appreciate the replay

‘Whoever the UFC wants me to fight, I’ll fight’ – Unless they are ranked below me and have any prayer of victory, in which case…

‘I got hurt during training camp’ – And I still showed up and fought, you pussies, so stop fucking booing me

by Derek Suboticki on Jun 16, 2009 8:40 PM EDT reply actions  

Hehe. Can you imagine the confused expression on Rogans face if Rampage actually said "I am deeply concerned with the plight of today`s urban youth?

I thought no fighter bashing was allowed here?? That`s not a very nice way to talk about Jake Shields striking ability.

“Lets take a look at the big screen, tells us what you did here”

Its not enough that we just watched you do it, we now want to see you stumble over your words and actually see if there is something philosophical about what you do for a living….. give us some Art of War quotes or maybe quote Mr. Miyagi.

“I’d like to thank my sponsors and everyone who helped me with training for this fight”

Cha ching… cha ching…. there’s 10 grand, then another 10 grand…. OH DON’T FORGET TO THANK CONDOM DEPOT.COM!!!

What the fuck is a "robster craw"?
