Hay I did say with all due respect Turk and than apoligize.
As for Havoc, I'm talking about GSP when he had to go through Sherk, through Trigg, Through Miller, Though BJ to get his title shot.
And his fans came out in droves to talk about how big bad.. uncle Dana was trying to stick it to good old GSP.
Maybe.. maybe not.. but the fact is... the fact GSP went through that who's, who of fighters has made him a legend and he's still building on it.
Look at it this way.. if Machida is rushed into a title you'll have hard core fans comparing him to Alrvoski. The longer he waits and the more he builds the more credablity he has when he does indeed get his shot.
You really shouldn't worry. I think Machida's style is perfect to over come Liddel who the ufc may well give him to fight next now that Griffin is fighting Rampage.
But this is where it gets interesting. Where is the poorest match up Machida?
I'm going to say a wrestler most likely will be his first lose. Do i think the ground game is his weak spot? No... I don't see a huge weak spot on the ground in him like I did in Bisping (thought I think Machida Bisping would have been fun).
I just think with his tools being as good as they are standing.. thebest chance to pick off Machida is a great ground game. It's just a guess. Maybe it's hope for Tito to his name back amoung the big boys.

And his fans came out in droves to talk about how big bad.. uncle Dana was trying to stick it to good old GSP. Scrooge McF%*K was accused of not giving GSP another shot because GSP was not considered marketable due to his poor EnglishMaybe.. maybe not.. but the fact is... the fact GSP went through that who's, who of fighters has made him a legend and he's still building on it. Look at it this way.. if Machida is rushed into a title you'll have hard core fans comparing him to Alrvoski. The longer he waits and the more he builds the more credablity he has when he does indeed get his shot. Comparing to Arlovski? Arlovski didn't bring a revolution of Karate. Arlovski was the king of the weakest heavyweight scene in UFC history! I don't get it and I'm the guy most people here usually refer as "hardcore fans"( with you Habmagallahgooglie and LWPD). You really shouldn't worry. I think Machida's style is perfect to over come Liddel who the ufc may well give him to fight next now that Griffin is fighting Rampage. I doubt Dana is going to give Ryoto Henderson, Forrest, or Shogun before throwing at least one very good LHW fighter who is currently lost in the shuffle( see Jason Lambert)But this is where it gets interesting. Where is the poorest match up Machida? CHUCK NORRIS! No wait... uh... lemme thinkI'm going to say a wrestler most likely will be his first lose. Do i think the ground game is his weak spot? No... I don't see a huge weak spot on the ground in him like I did in Bisping (thought I think Machida Bisping would have been fun). So you think Rashad Evans with Ghengis Khan whispering in his ear will be the poorest matchup for Machida?I just think with his tools being as good as they are standing.. thebest chance to pick off Machida is a great ground game. It's just a guess. Maybe it's hope for Tito to his name back amoung the big boys. edited with comments and me wishing all of you happy new year ;D

Okay I'll run this by you so you can grasp it.
I've called Rampage Jackson a slack jawed hick because he is one (or at the very least acts like one).
It seems in happy magical Knapik you can only give white people a hard time when they talk like uncultured hay seeds.
If anything you indulge rampage in his low brow brotha act are doing a discredit to black people everywhere if someone can't criticize him. I have every right to give him a hard time just as if he were white. and I won't be neutered by some liberal trying to censor me.
But back on topic? Am I racist? Most likely (cheap cop out time) but than again so are most people. I don’t get up in the morning and plot how I’m going to keep the black man down. I don’t cringe in fear and roll up my car window when I see anyone on the street no matter what skin color they are.
You can stop trying to paint me up like some card carrying member of the kkk. I'm a half breed, they wouldn't take me. (or your just trolling and found out it's easy to set me off LOL).

Uh, negative.
Then it just comes naturally? Dang.
Rampage doesn't come across as 'low brow' to me, but then again I don't have a problem with people based on the color of their skin.

If can post a picture of me with my black girl friend will you believe I don't hate all black people?
Just the ebonics types. (which for the record she's none to found of either). And when I say I'm racist, it's conceding the fact that on sub conscious level alot people make actions that discriminate against someone else.
I think it would be rather damn smug of me to sit here and say “NO.. I’m not racist even one little lick.”
Would you like an example? There was a U tube video of Rampage winning the belt off Chuck Liddel at a hooters restaurant.
Most of the white people remained in there seats while a lot of the black patrons became unhinged. Now there’s nothing wrong with screaming and yelling for your favorite fighter.
Or where they just rooting for him because he was black? Now is there anything sinister in the fact people identify on that level? No... Hell I cheer for Eddie Sanchez just because he’s Mexican. (and Deigo.. and sure as hell isn't his personality)
Guess what.. That makes me racist. Half the Mexicans I talk to about the ufc... only know who Tito is.
So don’t’ tell me negative liberal.

Half the Mexicans I talk to about the ufc... only know who Tito is. The girl I'm currently going out with here in Las Vegas is Mexican. She works on The Strip and follows UFC a little (especially when they have an upcoming card here) but she knows much more about it than just Tito Ortiz.

The ol' "I'm not racist, I have black friends!" argument?
How in the hell would I know what every black person is thinking? They're not all the same, you know. I've known black people that are fans of Chuck Liddell.
Different people of different background, cultures, etc. speak in different ways. Many people here have a southern drawl. People from other countries have accents. If there are black people that speak in a different manner than you, I don't know why it would offend you so much.

I think the important thing here is Havoc using an Anime reference... he gets some good points for that (from me anyway)
