Ive wanted the UFC to sign him fir a few years. Gunnar Nelson is a ****ing beast! I know of him through his BJJ/grappling- hes an elite level BJJ fighter and I think he got his black belt at 22, which for a sport where it usually takes minimum 10 years is quite an achievement.
Dont be surprised if he is a UFC champion within a couple of years, he really is that goodOriginally posted by fah-qDidn't someone once see Philip Schofield ****ting into a crisp packet?

I'm excited about him, he's a top guy by all accounts as well, has a good head on him and very easy going it seems. Know nothing about that Pascal dude though or the UFC really, don't really know what he's up against in the UFC but look forward to his first fight.Originally posted by meffin View PostIve wanted the UFC to sign him fir a few years.

Icelanders always get very excited when one of us does well so I reckon there will be fighting frenzy coming up here over the next few years.* The above is posted in my opinion. Feel free to disagree.

GSP is a fighter, short for George St Pierre, current Welterweight champion in the UFC.
Submitting is bending a limb or choking them enough for them to tap out.
Thanks for that, will have to get to know the lingo now obviously. Gunnar looks freakishly good at choking people though.

I would absolutely love to see Renan Barao take on Jose Aldo, dude is a beast. It's unfortunate that it won't happen.
Think Renan will do a number on Cruz too, and Cruz is one of my favourite fighters, he will be a lot harder to hit than Faber but those let kicks are vicious.
The Lombard fight really surprised me, expected a lot more from him!The times they are a changin'.

Henderson injured his Knee and Jones refused a fight with Sonnen.
Refused ffs.




Jones well within his rights to refuse to fight Sonnen.
1) Jones would utterly rag doll him
2) Sonnen shouldn't be any where near the light heavy title scene after his rag dolling by Silva at Middleweight last month.

UFC is an effin shambles.
White got laid into Jones at the press conference yesterday
I can totally understand why Jones wanted no part of a new opponent at 8 days notice ditto not wanting another title fight at very short notice.
Pulling the entire event just goes to show how weak the card was. Out with Jones / Henderson it was fairly poor.
