Rofl.... ya I am biased against articles that choose one side of an argument instead of considering both sides.

Almost as funny as the exact same comment you made in another similar thread (sans the unoriginal copy/paste job).

Shogun has beat Lil Nog, Arona, Rampage, Overeem, Coleman, Randleman, Gono among others.

Wanderlei has pretty much fought everyone.

So somehow beating top opponents is negated by beating unheralded opponents?
What the hell are you talking about? I never said fighting cans should "negate" quality victories or opponents. Did you even read my post? You said the top fighters in the UFC were spoon-fed and I pointed out that they clearly aren't. I said Cro Cop, Fedor, and Wandy have fought the best, I didn't say they haven't. I also said they fought a shitload of cans, WHICH IS TRUE. No one can deny this unless they live in Crazyworld.

The top fighters in Pride fought more cans than the top fighters in the UFC. It's as simple as that. That was my point with this particular subject. Doesn't mean Cro Cop, Fedor, or Wandy are "less" than the UFC fighters.

Sherdog is retarded. For the longest time, it was all pro-Pride, Ufc is shit, etc, etc.. Now that Pride is no longer a company, it's vomiting out all of these articles about how Pride was fake and how great UFC is.

What a fucking joke. It's the most fight-or-flight bullshit ever. Whatever company is big, they cling to. Somehow I expect to get banned or at least dubs for this.

I thought the article was dead on. I didn't see anything wrong with it.

I believe he has taken permanent residence in Crazyworld and will soon be moving the whole family to live with him in his lightpole made of cinnamon buns.
