Is this just the UFC, or MMA in general? If its MMA in general, I suggest you post this in 'General MMA' instead.

look - <just looking like a bad ass >

I think you should add Kongo to that. First time I saw that guy I was like wow thats a scary looking dude.

you might have a point with akoi.
about gonzaga - all his KO's were recet since he improved his striking alot.even in the lost to randy he broke randy's arm.i think his power + technique are both excellent and i predict he will keep those KO's comeing.



You coulnd't think of anyone in particular when it comes to ground and pound? Well, how about Fedor?
haha.i guess i could wright fedor in alomst every category but when u think of fedor..u dont instantlly think "ground and pound".

I'd put Wanderlei in the first category, and maybe Jon Fitch as well. :dunno:
well,wandy got destroyed by hendrson with abrutal KO.that never happen to nog.about fitch - maybe so.he took alot in the GSP fight and kept going..

But he also held his own when he fought Chuck, whereas almost anyone else would've have gotten KTFO!

Ah crap, this thread had promise. Now it's just an Emerson thread, oh well, you win some you lose some.

Yeah well he was pretty much KOd in the herring fight. and vs Crocop he said he didnt even hear the bell for the end of the round, he thought the ref stopped the fight. It was heart that made him keep going when he didnt know where the hell he was, while most other people would of just turtled up.
