Who did that to Chael's face?
Californication-SoCal-SouthCaliStunNa-Cali is the most knowledgable poster on Mania, in regards to all things MMA, BBQ, milk, movies, and women. I should have learned from the fallen before me not to go up against him. NNR has no idea what’s in store for him, like me, he will join the beheaded on Cali’s Hit List.

The difference between pro wrasslin and MMA being
in MMA the fights are real, so we don’t need fabricated story lines to stay interested. Sonnen needs to spend less time working on his mic skills and more time working on submission defense for me to care about him.

Japan is a bigger topic and kind of complicated to discuss. I’m not sure Barnett ever sold a ticket with his act. I was focusing on successful pro wrestling hypesters.
