Fair play. Think I just never liked the whole Goliath thing. Always would back a david who had some badass preying mantis style and a point to prove.
I am british afterall, and we like the underdog..

He is all powerful and stuff.....I really think he will be champ one day. His strength is undescribeable. His speed for his size is insane. His Incredible Hulk style punching is beautiful and violent. There is something about athletes with abnormal power or speed that always makes them so special to whatever sport they play. Sorta like 12yr old Chinese Olympians. Brock is cool man. He is all powerful and stuff…..I really think he will be champ one day. His strength is undescribeable. His speed for his size is insane.

I forgot to mention Southworth's fight was so boring I felt suicidal. It was a great time for a bathroom/beer break but I chose not to exercise that option and suffered for 30 minutes. Leben also pissed on that guys bed which was pretty f-n nasty. JT Money ain't got shit on that one. I'd like to see Leben/Kos again in about a year or so. They've both improved but I think Kos is still better.....even though I'd love Leben to knock him the F out Animal,

The whole "fatherless b*stard" comment was pretty cruel.. and also pretty stupid considering that the definition of a bastard is not to have a father!! Then again Chris saying that he would not feel bad about crippling Koscheck is pretty bad as well. I probably wasn't very clear; when I talk about respect I also mean a whole person's attitude outside the ring as well. Yeah that whole incident with Leben made me dislike Southworth as well.

It's the TUF show incidet with Southworth/Kos turning the hose on Leben after Leben went outside to let everything go that made me hate Southworth and Kos. Southworth and Kos acted gay as hell on season 1. Animal,

Which event was it? Did you guys say that this was against Heath Herring? Got to agree with the comments above, not a fan of Bobby Southworth from TUF. Disrespectful and arrogant. Look at GSP and Anderson. The best champs around and they are as respectful as they come. THAT IS WHAT OUR SPORT IS ALL ABOUT IMO. By the way guys do you think anybody will be able to stop Brock Lesnar from being a future UFC champ? He's another disrespectful person that I think our sport does not need (the way he was pointing & laughing at Heath Herring at the end of the fight showed to me a pretty flawed character). He is the real deal though. He obviously learns quickly as his defense against the Kamora was immediate. Interested to know what you think.

That was from like season 5 or something. maybe 3? I dunno. Anyhow different guy. As far as the choke not getting released, I think the difference is that whne Babalu didn't release his he was forced to (like Penn) and then he got up and didn't he spit on the ground at the guy? or at very least glare very meanly at him? lol but serious babalu screwed himself there.. plus... he did lose to lambert.

Bobalu held on until Heath was sleeping, lights out, waking up in La-La land. Steve Mazzagoti had to physically try to break it up. Penn had Pulver's back and gave one last squeeze after Pulver tapped, not hold on until the guy was asleep. That is the difference. Both are in the wrong, but the end is totally different.

So what he didn't release the choke in time. BJ Penn did the same thing to Jens Pulver yet he wasn't fired. Another case of the UFC having double standards when it comes to their fighters. Bobalu destroys Southworth, 1st round choke! The Rob; They signed non exclusive deals with Affliction, which means they can fight anywhere they want to. Bobalu is a beast.
