Dick move.

Change is good for growth. The loss was a great reminder that fighting is a brutal sport and you’re only as good as your last win.

There was no reason for him to shoot his old team that got him to the championship and helped him maintain his dominance until the last fight.

I thought he was classier than this.

I agree that quote comes off poorly, but I take his meaning. A guy like Miguel, who’s been the teacher and leader of his own team and gym and came up the hard way, fighting for years in small shows, in a nearly ignored division, can end up in that bubble, as he puts it. He owns the gym, and he’s the best, most experienced guy around, there’s no one to challenge him, to push him, and to criticize him. That’s an “us against the world” mentality that can be good for the team, but not so good for Miguel to keep developing and opening himself up to new ideas and methods. So I’m pretty interested to see if it works for him, and if he really does start to utilize his total game. Hopefully he’s humble, and wise enough, to become the student again. Frank Mir’s heart DEPENDS on it!

but throwing them under the bus and not taking any responsibility for your loss? That’s a little bit lame.

You mean like when they randomly scream GSP sokoudjou machida?

Something similar cost Shogun. I’m of the belief that your corner guys should be skeptical at all times and express to the fighter that every second of the fight should be spent trying to finish the fight as the victor.

haha, i wish i could rec twice… once for the points, once because I saw Dethklok on Halloween at the hammerstein and it was fucking awesome

Dethklok = instant rec.

That’s just the way it is.
