Just like Matt Serra said about Jared Rollins on the TUF show. You act TUF at the weigh ins, guaranteed the tough guy is being left there and will not show up in the fight.
the baddest ass fighters on the planet are the most classy at the weigh ins and the pre-fight stare downs. Could you see Anderson Silva or Fedor faking a headbutt. If one of your techniques is trying to intimidate the other guy by looking like a "cRaZy PsYcO"... reminds me of shitty white trash ICP kids in high school. Used to bounce them kids heads off of lockers.
But then again, you don't want to be to courteous. i wouldn't recommend kissing your opponent... hehe.
dont know if it's been posted yet but anderson was the one who got nose to nose with hendo... we all know how that turned out... this really doesnt mean much
There is a curse going on with people getting completely in their opponent's face at the weigh-ins/staredown.
Tito did it to Chuck and got obliterated.
Murray did it to Anderson and lost, and then proceeded to rob a bank.
Frye did it to Thompson and gave James his only shining moment in the 00s.
Jardine did it to Alexander and made the HL reels.
Wandy did it to Chuck and lost.
So, case in point, Goran = R.I.P.
If what you are saying is true ... then count on BJ to lose ... watch the weigh in he gets in sherk's face
HW - Lesnar! called it b4 he even fought in the UFC
LHW - Rampage, Rich
MW - Wand, Anderson (when he finishes fights)
WW - Alves, GSP
LW - BJ, Sherk, Guida
This is like the Madden curse.
So afraid are players anymore that they put retiring guys on the cover to protect active players.
soooo your saying that retired fighters are going to start standing in at the weigh ins?
