52 Fight: Jeremy Horn Starts His Career in a Warehouse

and Jeremy Horn is a legend in these parts. He’s really a legend everywhere but he’s held in a higher regard around here, like Pat Miletich and Matt Hughes. I’d like to see him back in the UFC. I heard a rumor that he would be, by year’s end. Any truth to that, that you know of Snowden? Or is that a false rumor?

and I’m a long time fan — will never forget his win over Chuck Liddell or his near upset of Frank Shamrock.
But I’m bitter against fate that he never got to fight Evan Tanner. that would have been a legendary fight!

The Japanese crowd, and the promotions for sure – the way they treat fighters is just unbelievable. You are held in the highest regard whether you win or lose.

This is the way it should be. However, records are so important to North American audiences, and there are a lot of fighters that do a lot to try to preserve their records because of that perception. Horn is a legend for sure.

That’s fucking metal.

Edited to include video of this fight….

…and he is a class act. Unusual techniques and just a really nice guy.

I know he says he is a white belt,but we all know the deal. The way horn fights off his back is totally jits.

I haven’t seen this in forever. The guys stalking them with the pads is hilarious. How far have we come?

You are held in the highest regard whether you win or lose. You can be a guy with ten fights and ten losses and after your fight you’re going to have as big a line to sign autographs as the guy who won the fight.

Personally I do think there’s a serious lack of respect for the fighters that lose or the teams that lose in America. It’s sad. As a child, you often hear stuff like “it doesn’t matter if you win, what matters most is how you play the game.” As a child I knew that was total crap and hypocritical because other kids would continue to do whatever they could to cheat and win. Some of these kids may be talented but they’re still looking for the extra edge and eventually grow up to be A-Rod, Jason Giambi, Mark McGwire, etc.

Guys like Jeremy Horn, definitely should get respect from fighters, fans and the media. Look forward to the full interview.

Jeremy Horn is goddamn fucking awesome.

The Japanese crowd, and the promotions for sure – the way they treat fighters is just unbelievable. You are held in the highest regard whether you win or lose.

Another reason why MMA in America is what it is, bloodsport. Japanese fans understand that MMA is legitimate as well as a relevant subject in Japan. (unlike the U.S.) Fighters are praised because to most Japanese fans, it is a form of art, although it is “fighting”, it’s not the same “fighting” the majority of Americans (fans and haters of MMA) think of when that word comes to mind. It’s all about appreciation and respect which most Americans don’t have (nor care) for MMA whether you win or lose, which is why Horn said what he said.

I’m full-blooded American and I have a good amount of pride for my country, but this is one of many reasons why I depise alchohol fueled USA! USA! USA! chants at any MMA event. Plain out disrespectful.

Hopefully he takes out Baker.
