So are you telling that Machida and Danielson shared an apartment at one point? That's epic. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in that living room.

I would love to see Bisping-Sonnen. I think Sonnen is only going to get more dangerous in the next couple of years. What's up with that first tweet though?

I'm just going to skip the cleverness and say I'd like to hammer her.

I actually had to Google that to see exactly what it entailed, but just by reading the name I originally said "duh".

I hate this movie.

They've since been reinstated.

I don't care about Fedor at this point. Right now in the Heavyweight division I care about guys like Carwin, JDS, Cain - people that are fighting who they are given and accepting how the game works. No offense, Fedor is great, but is aura is pretty tarnished and he is not known casually at all.

Wow, has it really been a year since this died?

Ok, this thread is done. I will start going through all the entries and opening voting.

Yeah, that Leben guy.

Ok guys, so here's the deal: I am getting great feedback from everyone so I am going to extend this for a couple of more days, until Friday. Work is sending me out of town until then so get everything in and I will start adding it all up.

I'm personally going after this pay-per-view for Chris Lyte as I enjoy watching him fight more than most fighters. I think it intrigues me that he has never been finished and while he has a sub-par record when he wins he likely finishes. Add Leben into the mix now and I'm sold.

I will post my list shortly, but this is actually the song that inspired me to do this list.

Leben will be a better fight. I wouldn't be surprised if Leben gets Wandy next if he does pick up the win here. W. Silva still has looked better at 185, but he's still fighting his history of wars. Plus, Chris has momentum on his side which could play a major factor.

Leben's progress since his debut is beyond amazing. He could lose this fight in the first round after his last two fights and still look great. If he beats Sexyama then he puts himself in a REALLY good position.

So, after browsing through some of my music collection today I realized that there are a few songs in each genre that I tend to always stop upon when shuffling (who doesn't?). Since rap/hip hop isn't that big on EWB I figured I would do a small (25 items) list of the top Rap and Hip Hop songs as voted on by the board members. This works just like any other list that on here. Submit FIVE (5) songs, in no particular order, that you would like to be included in the list to ME VIA PM. You CAN list them in here as well for discussion purposes, obviously. I will tally up the songs from both the PM's and the threads (because I know some of you can't read) and start posting the results next week. Start voting! DEADLINE IS SUNDAY JUNE 27, 2010 AT 11:59PST. I will put my votes in the thread once things start to get off of the ground.

I think we have been arguing ITF versus WTF here, unknowingly to one another.

I'm not FFS, I'm Toffee Crisp.

K-1 is a kick boxing promotion not a style, Rich. You're making me sad here. I get what you are going for now as well too. Half of my point was also "Mixed Martial Arts is effective in Mixed Martial Arts" while the other half was that Tae Kwon is often overlooked while it is just as effective in the sport as BJJ, Muay Thai, etc. and is a base of kick boxing which has been dominant. I think we should be on the same page now.

Then his argument defeats the entire purpose of the sport. Bas Rutten was a Tae Kwon Do specialist with a Karate background as well (which I incorrectly cited in The Ring the other day. I accidentally, while knowing his history, switched the two in order of his training. Sorry MPH). Any successful kick boxer that has transitioned to Mixed Martial Arts is an Tae Kwon Do specialist, which is my point. Also, I'm not arguing that Tae Kwon Do is superior in the sport because we all know that BJJ is the entire foundation, but an arm bar is going to help on the feet against a Dennis Siver spinning back kick. Your wording does clear it up a bit though, Powerhart.

Thanks, Split!
