Paper tigers that duped you in MMA.

He was robbed blind in the Nog fight. He was robbed in the bout with Silva also.

What about TUF fighters who hella over achieved beyond their real skill in Forest and Keith?

You kind of always knew with Forrest...mainly because Forrest himself would always remind everybody that he's overachieving.

what the hell are you babbling about wolf

RIcco wasnt really Ricco when he lost?

Brock was always scared even though we saw him own Mir, Herring, and Randy?

your hate is blinding you bud

be shocked if wolf even saw those 2 fights

I have seen them both. The EliteXC one live.

On TV anyway.

Check the Shark Fights discussion thread. Wolf, Bobbitt and I watched Pride Total Elimination 2003 which featured Ricco-Nog.

Oh ya, nice assist homie. Full disclosure I didn't watch the fight that night and saw it long before.

glad you saw the fights

this one isnt one for me but it was for alot of average NHB fans

Tank Abbott

o many people thought he was the ultimate bad ass and he lost damn near evey time he face top competition

Gonzaga was a one hit wonder IMO.

Tank was absolutely a paper tiger. So was Kimbo. Not for us here but for the mainstream sports fan.

Hype train isn't always how I put it. But bubble gets busted either way.

Mark Kerr. A big part of it I think is that the sport evolved so fast in the late 90's. When I first saw him win those tournaments, then win in Japan I thought the guy was gonna have a high end future, didn't pan out. He went on to get his ass kicked for ten straight years.

Years back I was mildly interested in seeing just how far Brandon Vera could go that I half heartedly rooted for him several times. He has fizzled bad, in fact no fizzle, he's flat.

Jeremy Horn. I don't think he's bad or a lie or anything. He just seemed like he was gonna be around to stay back in the day, those late 90's cards. He was good but ran into a fair amount of guys who were better.

Mike Swick. I wasn't a big fan but I thought he would be a real title contender at 170 by now. He looked better at 185 but I'm not thinking he will ever be a contender in the UFC.

If he can't win anymore or better than he has already, Mark Munoz, but he's young. I think he has been somewhat fed to the tigers in his young UFC career, some more so than other, but that's not an entirely bad thing if you can get better.

Swick and Vera will both be on the FOX main card so they both have a huge opportunity to jump start their careers. Also Jeremey Horn is going to be signing autographs at a local show in Oklahoma this weekend and I'm thinking about going.

so Vitor is a good add but Ricco isnt, come on, Ricco whooped Couture and subbed him, Im thinking hes gonna be the UFC HW Champ for a long time then Tim Sylvia happens add in he lost 3 in a row after the Couture tap, losing to Sylvia, Nog, and Pedro, add in the Ron Waterman loss

cough cough Ben Rothwell

cough cough Antonio Silva

cough cough Jeff monson

cough cough Travis wiuff

sory dude Ricco didnt live up to what i thought he would be

Rothwell had a big chance to get a big win before his injury. His last fight though was enough to make him interesting again.

If Bigfoot wasn't cut so damn early in the fight who knows how that Cain fight plays out. He could still be a top 5 HW right now.

Tavis Wiuff is about to cruse his way to the Bellator tourney style and then beat the champ...again.
