Norman Parisy

Why so? Not discrediting you, just want your perspective. All his losses in the UFC were against solid fighters.

Rico DiSciullio is solid as hell. Problem is, he’s going to be 37 in October, so a tad too old to be a prospect at this point. He’s talented enough to win the whole damn show, but he’d be like the Spanish heavyweight that won TUF 28 and have a limited shelf in the UFC.

Hell, at the time the divisions were so thin, you had guys like Nate Quarry two fights removed from his official debut and the Ultimate Fighter, getting a middleweight title shot at Rich Franklin, and Justin Eilers getting a heavyweight title shot a fight after getting face plant KO’d by Paul...

I’ll throw another out there.. Heath Herring. A lot of Pride supporters thought he was gonna come in immediately be a player in the UFC heavyweight division. He got dunked on by Jake O’Brien in a grapple lay and pray fuck fest.

Following what you said here and backing it, it was Lesnar’s second career MMA fight. There were no ammy bouts, nothing other than the Min Soo Kim fight to his name. Frank Mir was a former heavyweight champ (at the time) and his BJJ we all know. Lesnar actually did a hell of a lot better than I...

Oh yeah, no question. Ivan was as legit as they come. He had some impressive submissions over Tony Fryklund and Joe Riggs. Was being mentioned as a next possible challenger for Rich Franklin. Nate was thrown right into the deep end. Not that the win was bad, the fight sucked however.

His fight with Griffin saved the UFC and ushered in an entire generation of fans. Even in his last fight, he saved a card when he took an absurdly short notice fight with Anderson Silva, when Silva was smashing everyone. I know he pissed hot twice, and that likely did him no favors, but he...

He won, but I remember Nate Marquardt’s debut being an absolute shit fest of a fight, against Ivan Salaverry.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it played a factor. Opioid dependency will really fuck with the ticker too. TWood is one of the good guys. People who take issue with him never met him. He’s a genuine dude. He does shit when no one is around because he doesn’t need that clout.

He trained for quite awhile in Chicago with Carlson Gracie. Definitely had the chops on the ground.

Demons are a complete bastard. Stephan went through hell in the final years of his life, and we all saw it unfold. Between finding out his wife wasn’t being faithful and apparently screwed around on him, his body breaking down, his opioid addiction, his home burning down, the DUI arrest, his gym...

Wasnt there when this video was filmed or this incident happened, but I’m fairly certain deep down he wishes it WASN’T and probably wasn’t happy it was. He didn’t do what he did for clout and never wanted it to be superficial.

Throw some clarification as much as I can here. It WASN’T the last video of Rumble alive. His weight dropped substantially from then, even from the photos over the summer. The video was posted 24 hours prior because they knew Rumble was in the final days, if not hours of his life, and wanted...

Can we not do this anti vax bullshit on here? You don’t believe in it, that’s fine. Anthony was like family to me and I know there are other members of his immediate family that are reading this thread. They really don’t want to read this garbage and neither do I.

Agreed. The world as a whole is emptier with him gone.

Completely agree. Well said. I know the DV issue. Much more behind it. Assure you of that. Not spilling the beans here but it was self defense.

Gotta throw this out. How did he prevent Bo from making the Olympics? Two different weight classes. Both Penn State guys who are pretty loyal to each other. Gotta hear the backstory behind this.

He did a long time ago, but thank you for this.
