Who do you want to fight?

I would kick George W. Bush Junior's ass, so bad that he'd scream for his daddy to come save him.

Then I'd kick Kerry in the head for being such a lame-ass.

Then I'd rewrite your constitution, so Bill Clinton could become president again

What Nazi country are you from?

Id like to fight a personal trainer at my gym,,, he's a real tool..... He has the worst case of ILS Ive ever seen. (Imaginary Lat Disease)

Mark- I, too, wouldn't mind tangling with the top dogs, either. I wouldn't want to wrestle Karelin, though, after what Tom Erikson did to me. LOL No sense in getting whooped any worse.

Likewise, I think I'd stay away from CroCop. I rather enjoy my face in the pieces that it is currently in. I'm a fan of my current eye orbital configuration.

With that said, I'd love to fight a Gracie. Any Gracie. I'd grapple them, but I'd lose since I can't set up submissions very well without the threat of strikes. So, in the interest of a questionable outcome, I'd have to have it MMA style.

I, too, would box Tyson. My guess: I'd get pounded. Eventhough a straight puncher such as myself can negate his loopy, left hook throwing ass, I don't think I have the talent in my hands to be the guy that does that to him. I also don't really think he'd fall for my lazy jab that gets him to swat at it so that I can throw a quick hook.

All in all, any good boxer could take me boxing, I would imagine. Now if we move it to the K-1 arena, I'll Cung Le their ass all day. By the end of the 4 rounds, they'd be able to tell me exactly how many lights were on the ceiling after they had spent that much time on their backs.

Do you believe you are a superior martial artist?

Depends by what you mean by superior...

If you are asking whether I could beat Bruce Lee in a fight that has MMA rules, yes I could.

Now if you are asking whether I have devoted my life to martial arts like he did, then no I havent.

I will be the first to say that Bruce Lee excelled at many physical feats, was in superb shape, was a great martial artist (in the respect that he was an innovator and probably did more the martial arts than another other 5 people combined) and was a man that deserves respect.

I have trained under both Relson Gracie (8-Time BJJ World Champ) and JJ Machado (Abu Dhabi Winner). As far as elite fighters go (such as Grizzly), I would get my ass kicked. But as far as those who study the traditional MA (Karate, Tae Kwon Do, etc.), I would beat almost all of them.

So I guess I should rephrase what I said...

I am a better FIGHTER than Bruce Lee, but he was a MUCH better Martial Artist.

Also, as far as Tyson, Karelin and Yoshida go, I too would be severely owned. Especially by Karelin and Tyson, because not only have I never wrestled or boxed competitively, but I also have no physical advantage over them. At least with Yoshida, I am bigger and stronger.

Also, what was it like wrestling with Erickson? He is a BIG BOY! I have rolled with a few top-level BJJ guys, but they couldnt overpower me, they just had better technique (much better).

What do you think of the Yoshida/Frye match? I find it hard to believe that he took out Don that easily. Don might be old and only relatively skilled(he's more tough than talented) but he is stil DON FRYE, you know? Yoshida did do pretty well against Silva, though. Of course, Silva kept being dumb and taking it to the ground.

Erikson was...an experience. And not a good one. LOL He's strong, quick, has great balance and is just plain talented. I guess that explains the 14yrs on the Olympic team.

Honestly, I'd like to do it again. I had just been getting into the game and my skills(wrestling wise) were still rusty and not as good as they are now. Plus, I was just trying to sort of watch what he did to learn some stuff. I'm not saying that I'd beat him or anything, but I'd certainly put on a better performance this time around.

Basically, it went something like: Grizzly gets taken down HARD. Tom smashes Grizzly's guard. Tom pulls out a crazy ass armbar. They stand up. It happens all over again. LOL

I'll tell you what. That guy has the biggest armbar arsenal ever. He pulls them out of the absolute weirdest positions. I don't know who taught him his BJJ, but they did a damn fine job.

He had a few great quotes, but I like the following the best. He was showing us some stuff from inside the other guy's guard. I can't remember whatallever he was showing us and saying, but he finsihed with, "if you can't take a hit from a guy on his back, then you're in the wrong sport." I liked that one.

 

[Mark Kerr]

Yoshida/Frye was a work, as well as Yoshida/Silva and Takada/Coleman. Basically, PRIDE tells the other fighter to not strike much/hard and to go to the ground with Yoshida. Then they ask the fighter to feed Yoshida an easy submission. Remember, Takada is the Japanese version of Hulk Hogan (as far as popularity) and Yoshida is the Japanese version of Michael Jordan (as far as being considered a sports hero).

You think Silva v. Yoshida was, too? I'm surprised they let him win. I guess the fans still got what they wanted to see. That triangle Wandy whipped out was slick as hell. He is one talented ass fighter!

Don did mention something about that. I seem to recall him saying, "I'll do anything for money." He really doesn't have anything to lose. He made his name and he's too far out of the game anymore to really be a threat. Fedor, Crocop, Nogeira, possibly even Herring will all beat him. He could take over Goodrich's job of being the "tester" of up and coming talent, but he'll never be on the top again. But, he can always lay claim to being the sickest fighter ever. Two broken ankles? Who taps to that? Sicko!
