Father time has caught up with Chuck. Plus the fighters are just getting better.

That D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y would have “crushed a grape.”

You may be right, thank you.
Don’t get too follow the M-1 and Affliction bouts that much.
Regardless, memories of Fedor when he was with Pride stand out for me.

Lexnar, the guy is a monster, no doubt about it. Seems very pleasant as well. Humility?? I haven’t seen that much of him too understand his character.
On the otherhand, there are some contestants in MMA that really seem to be very nice human beings. Very humble, polite and considerate of their opponents in both victory and defeat.
Personally needed this lighter side of life thread to get my mind off the horrors we face as a nation. Glad it was posted.

I know. I just saw him in one of his other matches and it seemed like he just sprawled on the guy!

After the fight Couture said his hands were just huge, like hamhocks!

His name is Brock Lesnar, and yes, he is a nice guy, but put him in a cage with his back to the wall and he will give you your money’s worth of entertainment. Brock is a farm kid from North Dakota.

I’m very glad to hear that. Please excuse my poor spelling of his name (Lesnar). You are right regarding his talent. What little I’ve seen of him so far is very impressive. Go North Dakota.
