Always seemed too tepid a fighter. Looks like a beast - but never seems to really bring it

Chuck Liddell syndrome. Once they find the button, it becomes easily accessible. W. Silva is there now, too. Lights out.

it's because he doesn't warm up properly

agreed. Strength and conditioning was way off.
-
Another victim of Coach's hit list.
Training methods that even the CIA would view as acts of sabotage ;D
-
No he's not. I've been with him most of the day. He's still on Dana whites payroll. They have to negotiate a new contract. If they can't negotiate, then he will leave. As of tomorrow, we start training we start back training.

Do your thing Coach. Do NOT let the haters here get to you.

Ufc aren't offering him a new contract Joe. He's 38 next month and getting worse
-
Are you going to feed his family Joe?
-
Hopefully Kongo doesn't divorce Coach from his services.

FUCK KONGO

Yet another Thinly Veiled Coach-thread! :D

He was too tired of flipping tires coach! You should have given him a lunchable to cure his glass chin.

this.
dont forget Kongo has been kickboxing and taking blows for years and once the button starts becoming easy access career is basically done.
-
He's not done, I know exactly what is going to happen. I just know he's happier leaving.
-
dont worry, dan hill will fill the void
;D

From his FB post this morning -
Don't believe he said- she said stories. I have not been cut by the UFC. I am Cheick Kongo so I know BEST what's NEXT for me. It doesn't mean that I am leaving the UFC, it doesn't mean that I am staying, it means this is my LIFE.
Do not believe what we tell you. I am in the best position to know what happened to my career in the UFC. AND do not worry. For the moment, be aware that in no case the UFC not dismissed me and I am on very good terms with the American organization. I am at the end of contract, as I have already been previously. UFC person not sign of CDI and contracts, it is trading. So I say to you, to evidence to the contrary, I'm still a fighter in the UFC. Take care of yourself.

I always enjoyed watching Kongo fight. The guy doesn't let the fight go to a decision. He either knocks someone out, or goes home on his shield.

Ali would still TKO him at 75 years old.

Ok..pretty sure he's still has the second most wins in heavyweights in the UFC next to Mir. But again, I KNOW what his next move is.

Tell us what it is.

can't

His next move should be out of the UFC he needs to fight at a lesser competition, hes done well with his limited skill set in MMA, props to him for that, but the all round skill set level has improved and Kongo is still just a kickboxer in comparison, sorry coach.
-
has congo ever won a fight

This is Joe's new protégé ..

No need to be sorry. I'm not a striking coach but I would tend to agree.

Damn - Coach looking thick!
Maybe you should jump in there

Coach is bigger than Kongo! Wider than Heath

Coach is shorter than Lee Priest.

So it is established then.
Wider than Heath.
Shorter than Coach.
Thats the only measurement system I need.

I like to watch cheick... But I do agree that his skill level is not where it should be at this time in regards to the ufc.. He can still be deadly but against the top guys in his division he doesn't stand a chance..
-
This thread title makes me think of KFC. Either i'm inherently racist, or i've been dieting too long!
-
i think if congo woulda had some kinda of grappling backround like wrestling,sambo or bjj he would be in top 10 easy
-
I don't think the UFC would cut him. It's probably Kongo's choice at this point. The guy makes for good fights.

It was. This was the last fight of his contract. The contract ended and it was his choice not to renew. Before this he was on a three fight win streak. Now if he would have been on a loss streak, then he would have had no choice.

Kongo is good...BUT HE AIN'T NO DON FRYE!! ;D

You can tell Melvin is in a stable relationship as he looks like shit and that can only occur when you don't have to try.

There's no such thing as a stable relationship....they all have their up's and downs. Its just a matter of understanding, listening, and compromising.
But I've been training pretty good and thanks to some of Coach's advice, I've gotten a lot leaner and more muscular
