Definite respect.

Also, on the other side of the spectrum, props to the guy who did the translation. That was funny.

Thankfully, seeing that I was 2-3 in my last 5 fights, he decided that he didn't need another mediocre talent, and let me out. I am glad I don't have to worry about steroid testing now."
The biggest talent pool in LW is in Japan. You are really ignorant.

Florian- LOL
Stevenson- Good fighter
Guida- DOminated by Melendez for 5-rounds....don't let anyone tell you otherwise
Edgar- LNP-artist
Huerta- who knows>
Guillard- LOL
Fischer- See Franca/Edgar
Stout - Who?


Gomi
Melendez
Sakurai
Ishida
Hioki
Hansen
Aoki
Kawajiri
Azaredo
Buscape
The Big Frog
Marcus Aurelio
Danzig
Diaz
.......etc!


E.O.T~

BTW.....Whoever gets their treasure trove of talent, once these fighters get their contract situation strait since being bought....will have the deepest. Unfortunately the UFC and their fucked up policies....have put a hold on many careers at the moment.
not that I disagree entirely, but the fact that you have Aurelio on both lists comes off as being um slightly biased.

Respect is earned not given.. .losing 2 of 3 is not earning shit from the top MMA org in the world.. Go the NFL training camp and get beat 2 out of 3 times defending a receiver or drop 2 of 3 passes or fumble 2 out of 3 times and see if they want to pay you well.. These fighters that are on losing strekas and running their mouths about respect make me sick... STFU and win some fights before to talk that crap...

hansen's guard is awesome. I'm not saying elbows won't make a difference, but it's not as if Hansen has been using a sport BJJ guard all this time. in fact, hansen throws punches from the bottom better than just about anyone I've seen.
