MMA is at it's peak.

The skill level has never been higher and they draw huge PPV buyrates.

The current top fighters are the best fighters that have ever lived.

Aldo
Bones Jones
Alistair Ubereem
Velasquez
Edgar
Gil Melendez
Mousasi
GSP
Roger Gracie
Dos Santos
Jacare
Nick Diaz

1. It's just a pose the photographer told us to do. The photographer was Dave's girlfriend.

2. Not much time, about 2 days.

I took this picture as we were parting ways in Chicago

This one here is with Michael Westbrook when were all in Wisconsin. He's the one beat the shit out of his teammate Steven Davis when he was with the Redskins. It was cool, all though he fights MMA now, we talked all weekend about football and speed technique. He had the fastest time when he ran his 40 at the NFL combines.

Very Kewl !! .. thanks for sharing .. it musta been awesome to be able to spend time with them ( GSP / Rampage )

? wasn't there a hefty fine for that fight .. I remember it was "rumored" to be over being called a homo .. but I don't think it was true

Hey Coach how do you think these guys would have done against Tyson on the street?

MindSpin · « **Reply #12 on:** April 11, 2011, 09:14:19 AM »

It's hilarious to watch insecure juiced up thong posers try to make fun of MMA

MMA popularity is the highest ever. The UFC just bought strikeforce, a new star has been born on JBJ, GSP vs Shields broke gate records and the fan base just continues to swell.

I kinda got away from the MMA scene about 6 months ago. IMO it's about a step up from Don King and boxing if you know what I mean. I still keep in touch with my fighter friends but as far as getting involved anymore I won't or I would seriously have to think about it. The meeting I had Saturday when I posted that thread about Australia was with Rampage and Dave Roberts and them wanting me to go to Australia with them to meet with promoters but as promoters go, it seems shady. It's not worth it, the money isn't worth it and most in the biz are looking for a free ride with little in return, I'm not just talking about the promoters (although they the absolute WORST) but the fighters as well. Knowing what I know, I hardly even keep up with it.

Since Tyson never trained takedown defense, he would get mauled. That said, Tyson would have been an animal in MMA had he trained for it...

I just want to add that GSP made a huge mistake parting ways with Jon Chaimberg after 4 years of success with him. He went to "Rush Fitness" for the sole reason of money. He left a GREAT S&C coach for a gimmicky P90X knockoff.

Tyson would get smashed by Rampage, and GSP wouldnt want anything to do with Tyson on the street.

Possibly true, but at this stage of his career, I'm sure GSP knows how to get himself into shape without paying some overpriced trainer that runs the same drills fight after fight. It's not like Chaimberg is the only guy that was working with GSP, or the only reason he wins fights.

This is just a case of both of these guys getting a little bit of fame/popularity. Chaimberg's prices rose and GSP's marketability did as well.

After all, this is a business. Money does influence most decisions.

Yeah I do remember that. Page would have to take him down in a hurry or he'd prob end up unconscious in a hurry. IMO he could beat him, but I guess he would know best.

Whats the difference on the street? Rampage doesnt use anything from fists as far as i see, so what advantage does he have?

Wrestling jujitsu basic ground attacks, and thats where Rampage would take it in a hurry no doubt. Page would brutalize him on the pavement. And yes streetfighting is very different from an organized fight in a cage you know this.
