I like this idea a lot, minus the Baroni.

I'm just here for the dogfights and prostitutes.

Isn’t Phil just retweeting some fan asking for that fight? I don’t think he’s the one actually saying that.

Yeah, it looks like

they both were just retweeting something someone else said but the fact that they retweeted it implies that they are in agreement.

Phil should consider trying this “lay and pray” thing out. It might work better than STANDANDBANGANDGASANDLOSE.

at least I didn't type "loose"

It was either that or the Sherk and jerk. But that’s more of a stretch in terminology.

We agreed not to talk about that..

Woah...

Really? I’ve never even heard of the first one.

Oh come on now let’s not get carried away and start thinking about fighter safety. If he wants to fight let him. We all know fighters know what is best for themselves. They agree to fight and sign the contracts. Let him fight.

Now being serious. This is a perfect example of fighters need to be protected from themselves sometimes. Now if only people would be more thoughtful of fighter safety all the time and not just when the fighter has gotten to the point of Ninja Rua and probably shouldn’t be licensed to fight anywhere.

Just BE.

If he knows the consequences of his actions, no one should be preventing him from fighting and hurting himself. Its his choice.

This is off topic

but does anyone know did Benji Radach retire? It’s been almost a year and half since he last fought and I know he’s had injuries but I havent heard anything about him in a while.

by bigdmmafan on Sep 11, 2010 6:43 PM EDT reply actions  

Not 100% sure but

last I heard he was mega pissed after his last loss, can’t remember what happened but there was some controversy & he was going to appeal.. I think it was Scott smith & he beat Scott up for 2.5 rounds then got hit with the smith special (turtle up & play dead then surprise ko) but I think he said Scott was out at least once & it wasn’t stopped & the ko came from a punch behind the ear? Like I said not 100% but I think that was it..

Be like water..

Ninja doesn't belong in the UFC unfortunately

But this is no surprise. Shogun wants his brother in, and Baroni wants a fight he can win. Makes sense here. Who knows, they might give him a shot. Having a brother for a champ helps. Tuscherer doesn’t belong in the UFC either.

You think Baroni can take Ninja? Baroni looks like he’s lost it and hasn’t added anything to his game in years.

Ninja has brain damage.

Phil can take him.

Sometimes, listening and watching Phil, you’d think he’d have brain damage, too.

But he is fit enough to fight - doctors let him fight - that should count for something.

    Do you really know what you are talking about ? Ninja ran over his opponents in his last 4 fights, two TKOS and two Submissions…

by Ighor Tavares on Sep 11, 2010 11:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

He beat,

Alex Steblig 18-11
Jason Jones 15-9
Arturo Arcemendes 0-1
Jeremy May 7-7

Not exactly UFC type compititon.

Just say no to Ninja Rua…

and how many new guys the UFC signs fight tougher competition then that? Maybe a couple but that’s it and Ninjas actually been in there with top fighters. Give the guy a chance and see how he does, it’s not like they’re saying put him on the main card…

On top of that, May was giving Ninja a serious shit-kicking before stupidly getting subbed.

As far as Ninja has fallen he can still take Baroni, I wouldn’t be surprised if the UFC signs him even if it’s jus to feed him to some of their young MW’s.

Whatever happened to Shizo Machida being signed? Hope that didn’t die with the Machida era…

by gzl5000 on Sep 11, 2010 11:21 PM EDT reply actions  

Yeah he’s signed he’ll be fighting Mark Hughes pretty soon.

Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.

I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.
