two biggest fighters in the world

@deek77

no problem man. glad to see a person arguing without the use of violent language. keep supporting the martial arts and happy holidays.

[deek77]

@samjs721 At any rate, I do appreciate you sending me that interview, never saw it before. Seeing as how it's a couple years old, I'd like to see what he thinks today, now that he's collaborated with several MMA fighters in movies and such. Maybe he thinks differently now, it could happen. Anyway, thanks again, and Happy Holidays to you.

@samjs721 And 2) He didn't change up his statement when he said Machida isn't one, because the DJ noted that they were already discussing that when they watched one of his fights. So he was referring to a certain number, not everyone. And some MMA guys have trained with him, so at least some of them agree with his viewpoint. Is he cocky? Sure, but so are many pro fighters throughout history. More important question is, is what he was saying true? I say yes, but feel free to disagree.

@samjs721 Ok, just saw the video, thanks for the link. Couple of things: 1) He didn't say all of them are glorified bouncers, he said a lot of them are, which I agree with, though I would say this is something you see in other arenas too, like boxing. You have your pure boxers and then you have pure brawlers who don't have much technique but a lots of guts and grit (i.e. Clay Guida). I wouldn't call them glorified bouncers, but that's just me. (Cont.)

@deek77

yes he really did. here the interview.

youtubeDOTcom/watch?v=0Jm8q-TP­M6k - add a period where DOT is.

he calls them glorified bouncers and says they all are till he realizes what he said and tries change it around. says machida isnt one. dude is delusional. i would pay to see him get his ass whooped by a true mixed martial artist like jon jones.

[deek77]

@samjs721 Hmm, when did he say all that, is there an interview online where he says these things? Was he talking about specific people or in general, because I find it odd that MMA guys would be in movies that he produced and directed after remarks like that. Did he also say he believes he's the best fighter? Not callin you a liar, maybe there's an interview I'm not aware of, if so I'd like to check it out.

[samjs721]

@deek77

maybe i was wrong saying that but MJW thinks hes the best fighter ever. not true. most of his fancy moves wouldn't work in real fights. its all choreographed. im just mad that he called mma fighters "gloried bouncers". thats disrespectful towards all fighters. most mma fighters dedicate their entire lives towards mma and saying a thing like that is stupid and irrational.

[deek77]

@samjs721 You say they need to prove themselves in the cage, but to whom? MJW is already cool with a lot of MMA fighters like Rampage, Machida, Kimbo, just to name a few. Rampage even asked if he could spar with him a little to prepare for the Machida fight. So if guys in MMA already respect guys like MJW, wouldn't that carry a lot more weight than the opinions of those who aren't on their level?

@samjs721 hahaha ohk buddy
