Dean Lister: Master Of The Backhanded Apology
Dean Lister
Former UFC middleweight Dean Lister, who was granted his release from the promotion after dropping a snooze-fest to Yushin Okami at UFC 92, has apparently issued what one might call an “apology” via The Underground for his “piss poor performance.” Check out the front hand:
“…I had a very poor performance my last fight…I let my team and my gym, my friends and definitely myself down for this fight…I had a much better showing against Arona (even though that was only primarily a grappling fight that I lost) even in Pride who is a better fighter than Okami for sure. Things just didnt come together for me this fight. I trained so, so hard, I really trained hard but it didnt work out.”
And the back hand:
“I expect a few weak and mean tempered responses to my thread here, that is OK, I expect this thing from young whack offs who have no (zero) life experience….All I can say is in late 90s I was mediocre at best in BJJ, but with some patience, I became world champion in ADCC Absolute WORLD CHAMP IN MOTHA F***** BRAZIL!!!!!!!!!… For those who really, really, really hate me and have the balls to come tell me to my face, I am very curious to meet you and to compare your superior style, technique and work ethic, even though I had a piss poor performance in UFC, i’m still in good shape. let me know if you want to “teach me a few MMA moves” cause I really need the help and i’m an eager student.”
I can’t help but compare Lister’s sentiment to a combination of Tim Sylvia’s infamous pleadings for acceptance and War Machine’s epic rants about how he is the most awesome person in the universe. At any rate, I encourage all of you to read the rest of the post where Lister provides his training address and offers any would-be instructors a post-workout Guinness. Hey, at least it’s a Guinness and not one of the dreaded brews that sponsor the UFC.

Aw, the angry little troll is so cute…
I love the fact that he has gone completely unfiltered and challenged all of the folks who are “expert viewers” rather than practitioners of BJJ. Priceless. I’m sure he just said what a lot of the fighters would like to say.
Lister’s too one-dimensional for the UFC. His style suits the ring, and he’s ever boring there. He was boring in Pride, and although he did get a few nice submissions so far in his career, he’s an overall boring fighter. No loss here.
I’m not sure I would classify this as a backhanded apology. I would say it was an apology to his true friends, and a challenge to the keyboard bullies that hide behind a computer monitor and want to say how he’s terrible and should be cut. Basically he said, “Put up or shut up.” I can’t say that I blame him for wanting to lash out at the bashers, but at the same time, he is a public figure, competing in a public sporting event. By choosing to do so, he opens himself up to criticism, if he can’t hang with that, don’t fight in a public forum.
Dean should do BJJ events thats his only game. peace Dean!
I am dissapointed in his UFC performence but i have met Dead in VEgas and he is a VERY nice guy and a Great BJJ champ…i wish him well
what a baby. i didnt like dean but i didnt dislike him till this crap “people dont like me cuz i did jack shiza in a fight poor me.” go back to adcc where u were “Absolute WORLD CHAMP IN MOTHA F***** BRAZIL!!!!!!!!!…” cuz the ufc aint for u
WOW!!!!!!!!!! ALWAYS seemed like a cool guy, sounds like a dik now! he has a good point but should made it a differnt way then saying he will fight anyone who reads stuff on mma sites?
DEAN SUCKS BALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well said huertarogerhuerta
i am not trying to be an ass at all but………. is fr72’s picture a guy who is high with a bong or a guy with a bonar trying not to look at it? either way its the funniest av i have seen
my screen is to small to tell, and i don’t know how to make it bigger!
It is Eddy Bravo with his bong. The picture was taken for high times. Why did you ask this on the thread? FR702 hasn’t even posted on this thread.
Now I have Justin haha
Um ya its Eddie Bravo with his patriotic piece (Bong), I couldn’t stop laughing the first time I saw the pick and I had to make my avatar, hey thx for enjoying it its funny to me too
Dean is awesome @ BJJ but he needs to work on being the actual “Boogeyman” rather than saying he is but then again he may just only strike fear in small children soo I dunno (that’s for gun
yo dudes, anyone know how i can remove the pics from blocking the comments?
hey, go to Fedor “has no technique” page and justin gave me a link the other night when i was having issues with my gparents computer, you will find it
Thanks FR, I was actually doing work and didn’t see this.
This issue will be fixed in the next few weeks. Sorry for the temporary inconvenience.
