Kevin Iole is a pure TUF n00b who doesn't know anything about MMA. Who else is pissed off that this idiot gets to write MMA for Yahoo sports?

champ: gsp
1. Fitch
2. Alves
3. Hughes
4. Serra
5. Koscheck

and youre just a miserable little **** that thinks your post count gives you credibility.
Iole is very well informed about some aspects of MMA, mostly the business side. He gives great insight where he has the ability. But as far as his knowledge of actual fighting, hes not too bright.
p.s. bunzo sucks

LOL, some of his writing is just completely ignorant of MMA older than 14 months ago.
I have this feeling he was the golf writer last year.

Anyone who's just now catching on to Iole being a total hack is definitely the "noob".

I never read his articles. I don't like or dislike him, I just don't see why I need to read 8 million opinions on 1 topic.

Marcus who? He hasn't eaten anybody, but calls out gomi, and disrespects fedor. If he had some balls he would talk that shit to the ww in the ufc. He is just a joke who got his 15 during tuf, once they put him into the top competition he will get destroyed, and his annoying overhyped self will disappear with that too.

rankings mean nothing but Iole has no clue in my opinion. read his past ramblings and you will probably come to this conclusion also. But to say a guy doesnt know anything because he put Marcus Davis in the top 10 doesnt mean shit. You wouldnt think twice about taking Davis over Serra?
