Damn Runners!

I hate Runners! Who are 'Runners' you ask? These are fighers whose fight style depends on letting their opponents chase them around until they get off balance and eat a fist or a Kick from the afore mentioned 'Runner'. Lidell is a prime example. Ill be damned if he isnt a good fighter but Rampage did the right thing when he threw up his hands and motioned for Chuck to stop running. I dont know why these morons keep chasing him! Same for Crocop vs any decent fighter. Fedor, Hunt, even God Damn Kevin Randleman! You know why Fedor gets so much respect? Because regardless of reputation, size, record, the man comes after you and beats you down. Ever seen anyone chase Fedor around?!
Worse than runners are the Crawlers! Nog or Royce get dumped on their ass, they crawl around with these annoying kicks to the ankle until the ref stands them up.

Get all the runners and crawlers and put them in a cell somewhere and throw away the key. Like Miss Swan from Mad TV said about fighers who dont back off ..'He looked like a man'

And what would you do in a ring with Fedor or Rampage? Cry like a little girl, that's what.

Don't hate when you would be no better.

Lyoto Machida is the king of runners. He's also a very precise striker, and he's managed to find the "perfect" blend between running away and merely backpedaling, so that he never gets a point taken away. Love him or hate him, Lyoto's almost impossible to hit when he does this.

Crocop's not so much of a runner as a good spacer or distancer. He sets up his straight left hand and his left kick by being at a certain distance. if his opponent's too far, he moves FORWARD, too close, he moves back. Chuck just runs away in a wide circle all day long. Watch round 3 versus Horn, I don't think Chuck throws a single punch. UFC needs yellowcards

I say do what ever it takes to win the fight... in the end if you beat the other man, then your the better man.
