Epic fight Gargamel vs He-man
Looked like feijao hit Kyle in the back of the head about 10 times.
i ****in hate to say it. but i honestly think thomson won. damn. melendez best round was 2. then the momentum began to shift when thomson began to turn it up. i actually thought thomson had moments to finish gilbert on the feet in the 5th.
Barnett First Round Sub!
hahaha hardly…barnett is a ***** if he cant get you on the ground…JDS destroys em both
Oh yeah, tough guy Joop… Josh Barnett is a real *****. Another keyboard warrior who’s only fight they’ve ever been in was in a video game.
You call real fighters pussies? What are you 12? Go back to your video games son. I am dissapoint.
Maybe when you grow a ball hair and fight in real life instead of your WoW you will know what it is like to be a real ***** when you re getting the shit kicked out of you.
BTW, you are adopted. Thank god.
I was wrong But Josh is not a *****.
***** relative to a fighter – i’m commenting on a fighter – i’m not saying i could beat him!
Barnett has horrid stand up but amazing ground skills and a good chin…if he can’t take ya down hes gonna lose that simple!
now back to WoW….
Also a lame excuse of he broke his hand was the first thing out of his mouth! His excuse should have been he wasn’t on roids (or maybe i spoke too soon)!
DC broke his hand too but didn’t cry about it in the post fight interview!
Great five rounder in Melendez vs. Thompson – decision could’ve gone either way. I thought Thompson showed a lot of class in defeat and I hope he gets another title shot soon.
Wow, Cormier is sickkkk. Look out heavyweights, he’s legit
Cormier looked awesome! Gained a lot of respect for Thompson very classy
