They're good paydays, but considering the revenue the company generates, the fighters should be getting much more, across the board.

Yes, this would have been after Meng was with WCW, when UFC was still in it's infancy. Art Davie has talked about having discussions with Eric Bischoff about it.

There is apparently some truth to this, in that it was proposed as an idea to Meng/Haku by the higher ups in WCW during the early UFC days, but he turned it down. He was smart enough to realize he was many years removed from competition and the UFC was a different kind of fighting. Plus, he...

All very good choices. People were straight-up in denial here about Shogun/Forrest 1. I remember many posters trying to argue that Shogun was winning before he lost, or that he barely lost. I'd also add Chael vs. Anderson 1, even though Chael ultimately lost, because I don't think anyone...

In terms of natural talent, he'd be up there.

Hey, fair enough. Thanks for disagreeing like a gentleman.

I gotta say, I think it's admirable that you apparently created a sherdog account and resurrected a three year old dead thread to defend a man you trained with 30 years ago. He clearly left quite an impression on you and I really don't mean to insult him, or you by association. But, I stand by...

A stark reminder as to why Hawaii is not known for its martial arts.

No groundwork at all, no submissions. It was boxing with takedowns.

So, what is it, like a 70% chance of him returning?

He wasn't actually forced to do anything though. From listening to him tell the story, and I've heard him tell it a few times in a few different interviews over the years, it seems the point he was trying to prove would've been, "Hey I could actually win if I wanted to." If he wanted to shock...

The coma part probably isn't that likely. McCarthy specifically lobbied for the ability to stop fights, and there's no reason to believe he wouldn't have done so if Dan was hammering Royce. Certainly I think he'd have done so before Royce literally died. I think the truth is the obvious. A...

Dude. He's not a gangster for this. He's talking about attacking untrained guys, most of whom he admits had a friendly, respectful relationship with him, while they would have been attempting to co-operate with him and not defending themselves. He's a gangster because he beat tough guys who...

The only thing I hold against him is the spin kick attempt against Rockhold. Everybody should hold that against him, frankly.

I don't think you can give anyone a "good" chance against Khabib.

To get this back on the subject of Dan Severn, and because I want to say something more complimentary about him, I remember another interview Dan did where he talked about his trying to get into the UFC and them turning him down. They were pretty dismissive of wrestling as a fighting style...

Yep, and really sour grapes for Angle to act all surprised that Puder went for a submission when Angle himself did several things to Nawrocki are also illegal in amateur wrestling, and like I said, hurt the guy. I'm a big fan of Kurt Angle's wrestling, but he looks like a real shit here. The...

Did you mean to quote my other post about the Angle Puder thing?

Kurt Angle was sent out there to embarrass the Tough Enough guys. They made them all do a bunch of crazy workout shit, eat pasta, and then do a hindu squat competition with the idea that they'd all be near death and Angle could do some amateur stuff with them an eat them alive. He was supposed...

The first one, definitely. If you're only going to watch one, make it that one. If you're willing to watch a few more, then I'd say Season 4, 7, 10, and maybe 22.
