    Tyson is one of the biggest scumbags in the history of athletics. It boggles my mind that he's not treated as such.

    The basement of a Bangkok nightclub sounds like an appropriate venue for this kind of thing, so you're probably right. I witnessed cocks with blades attached to their spurs fight legally in that part of the world, so this mess of a fight shouldn't be a problem over there.

    He's got issues, and he's done some bad things, but he's a legend man.

    He may be a rapist with a taste for human flesh, but he's a legend!

    That's what I'm talking about.

    It was cheating, the Canadians know their country does not count decimal points in weigh ins.

    GSP outweighed Nate Diaz by .9 lbs, and it was an unfair match that is being appealed by councils.

    It's illegal in both South Carolina and Texas. Note my previous comment as I made mention of the term "legal".

    Hmm, that's odd, because I'm not Canadian and I knew that weigh in rule. I looked it up and the past 5 UFC Canadian events going back to 2008 have all been the same, they don't count tenths of pounds. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse, and it certainly wasn't the reason Diaz was outclassed. Diaz weighed in at 169, GSP at 170. Saying a one pound difference is the reason Diaz was outclassed is laughable.

    What's even funnier is that reguardless if GSP stepped on the scale and was 50 lbs overweight, the fight would have still happened, with GSP only giving up 20% of his purse.

    You're right, they don't. They just conviently ignore them. Perhaps of it was your daughter being raped by Tyson, or your ear being bitten off, you'd be singing a different tune. But of course since it wasn't yours he raped or disfigured, we will forget those little do-dads and treat him like the champ, eh? Rapist are the lowest form of human life, and should be treated as such.

    Gosh she ruined Mesha Tates pretty face, she is too pretty to fight, the women who are the best fighters look like men .

    Zingano and Rousey are next, Zingano is going to win because she looks more built like a man. If you saw her punches and knees in this fight, those looked like they were coming from a man.

    Can't wait to see Anderson Silva matrix Chris Weidman.

    I think Chael Sonnen has better top control than GSP, and maybe better wrestling, plus, GSP has an iffy chin, so I doubt he beats Anderson. Carlos Condit almost KO'd GSP.

    Anderson vs Jones is the fight that I want to see.

    Weidman imo is Chael Sonnen with better striking, slightly worse wrestling, slightly worse positional BJJ, better sub game, and an untested chin.

    I don't think he finishes Anderson, and Anderson will eventually find his range.

    Weidman is a better freestyle wrestler and sets his takedowns up better. Sonnen is a good freestyle wrestler, but his strength was Greco during his wrestling years.

    You may be right, but Anderson is getting up there in age and his takedown defense is nothing to write home about. I see Weidman taking him down and beating his ass.
