stfu just cos you've posted 900 posts does it make your opinion more weighty or knowledgable? No it doesnt. A bored housewife with no knowledge could post drivel here for 900 posts would that make her more knowledgable?

I agree Ken Shamrock in Yamma would be a nice fight to settle things.

I dont agree with the statement that Royce showed limitations against Hughes , rather i go with the explanation he just froze on the night. It could happen to anyone.

QFT - that's how I feel whenever someone like Ken fights or something.

Because people are in denial. When one of their favorites are caught roiding, they pretend as if it never happened. I lost all respect for Royce after the Sakuraba fight, as he tarnished both the fight and the Gracie in desperation to become the first Gracie to defeat "The Gracie Hunter".

I dont think its denial. Rightly or wrongly most people will look at Sherk's monstrous physique and assume he has been on steroids for time, also Sherk is at the peak of his career.

Conversely they will look at Royce at the end of his career and look at his physique which even going into the Sakuraba rematch was more or less the same "skinny guy" look he's always had, and they will assume the steroid reading was in error.

Im not saying its fair as we dont know if Sean or Royce were guilty or not.

i wouldnt mind seeing royce fight hong man choi. nobody can deny that royce inspired alot of people, professionals and amateurs alike to take up mma and believe in themselves regardless of their size of physique. ill admit it, i never gave any thought about martial arts till i saw royce take apart kimo while taking little damage in return

if he could submit hong man choi, it would be one last spectacular win in a legendary career

people here act as if Royce never got caught. Still in a denial stage i guess, the two-sides of sherdog. Everyone knows they are hypocrites, they just don't care.
