Thanks! Just starting to post stuff here, so its good to meet a theme you can get excited about.
Not hard to get enthusiastic about this fight card. First fighter Matt Serra who later got famous for his enexpected title win and now co-hosted some ufc shows. GSP's opponent was one of the few judo experts who made it into mma and showed their talent.
Not to mention Lee Murray, like you already said. Not nice guy and hero like GSP, but a real gangster in life and the cage. When you talk badass, he's the man you have to look for.
With Belfort I was lucky, i was there on holiday with my coach and he knew a lot of guys, also met the Minotauro Brothers and Romario. Crazy 2 weeks.
Hermes sexually assaulted a student in his academy, served prison. Just saw he still is fighting, but not like in his prime.
UFC became deeper, but, that also comes with the cost, that you will never again have a fight card with such a talent and so many guys who made history.
I think they might be making a movie about Lee Murray. That is true, all of these guys were pioneers, such a great time wish I was older back then! So have you trained MMA? That's an amazing experience!
Yeah, a movie will be coming for sure. Only question is if it focuses on the heist, or his whole life.
Yes, i've trained and fought in MMA, but only regional level. Still, got to know some of the biggest names of the scene. I even made it to visit one of the Pride Shows in the US. I guess you can't compare it to the japanese Pride Events, still makes me more happy than the most UFC events.
Have you been to a live mma event yet? I think regional events have their own spirit and its really benefital to see a young prospect make its way to the top from the beginning.
