Clearly I’m in the minority here but I find Jailton’s approach refreshing compared to the crappy kickboxing we always see at HW. Outside of his fight with Lewis, he has always aggressively gone for subs. The way he completely dominated Blaydes in the first round was also very impressive, NO ONE...

Lol I can see that, wasn’t he training at Hammerhouse at one point? Perhaps they thought he’d be the next Mark Coleman with punching power.

Oh I get it, it’s guys I’ve trained with in the past who were absolute beasts in the gym and would do well in the regional scene but would struggle in larger promotions such as Bellator and the UFC. It really makes me appreciate how tough the fighters we watch are and acknowledge that it’s truly...

No problem!

A stroke, Sherdog wrote an article about him back in 2013.

That’s pretty cool! I see that he fought some pretty solid names in Buentello, Fulton, Shoji and Ritch. Were you training with him during the time of any of those fights?

Holy crap, you weren’t kidding lol And didn’t he suffer some kind of permanent damage from that Frank fight?

Yes, UFC 2 had a lot of brutal finishes. Hell even Wiet’s win earlier in the night was savage (I guess he paid for it).

Nice contribution! Sexton kind of reminds me of people such as Baszler who really peaked prior to their time in the UFC. Such a shame. I’m not familiar with Gil Castillo, I’ll have to look into him, thanks!

Haha Johnny Rhodes! He really gave Ettish a rough night. Rhodes had some pretty solid boxing and his fight with Pat Smith was a fun striking match while it lasted. Nice throwback!

Thanks!

Spratt is a good one! He had a lot of eyes on him after that Lawler win but the guy unfortunately couldn’t grapple to save his life.

Ha, fair point! How about fighters that YOU recall but feel have been overlooked or forgotten by others?

Definitely remember Telligman! It sucks that he was on the wrong end of the highlight when it came to his fight with Big Timmy because he was actually pretty skilled despite what the record shows. And did you see Scott and Tank’s rematch some years ago in someone’s backyard? It was terrible lol

Ahh yes, I forgot he was associated with the Miletich camp back then. He was very well rounded, I wish I could find footage of his pro boxing bouts. And yes, he’s very involved in his culture and currently on the Council for the Meskwaki Nation. And yes, his brother Tyrone Roberts has a lot of...

Something that I’ve noted about myself is that I have an affinity for the old school UFC vets, who didn’t necessarily stick out to the average fans of the time. I wanted to take some time to note some of these fighters and would love to hear some that come to mind for you. 1) Joe “The Ghetto...

They actually brought him back for that veteran season of TUF a few years ago.

Exactly! The match makes since ranking wise as well.

I see Tybura out grappling and possibly submitting Tuivasa…unfortunately. No idea why the UFC won’t book Tuivasa against Rozenstruik!

I wonder if he wants to try to get that win back from Walker? This seems like an appropriate time for a rematch.
