Who would win in a post-retirement fight - Forrest Griffin or Lee Haney?
Lee looks very healthy.  Had the perfect career, got in and out, went back to a normal life.  Other bodybuilders should use him as a model for their lives.

I don't care what you're so called fight training is. A top bodybuilder will wreck you in da cage

Yates got the shit smacked out of him by Dick Vrij. Vrij was never anywhere near St Pierre's skill level.

What was the back story here? Was this over money owed?

Yep. As far as I know it was about money owed. There are photos of Dorian just after it happened sporting a black eye.

I remember those from around 2004. I think that's when it happened.

I didn't know the name of the man who punched him though, so thanks for posting that.

I remember Craig Titus saying he slapped around a middleweight fighter. I think he was in the UFC - or Craig claimed that, if I recall correctly.

And then Craig's beef with Phil Baroni.

With what I know about MMA fighters now, I can't see any bodybuilder doing anything to a trained MMA fighter - let alone a UFC fighter.

I think by now we have enough videos online of small MMA fighters fighting bodybuilders or powerlifters. It doesn't end well for the big/strong guys.

Did Craig have any fight training? Wasn't he just a roofer out drug addict?
