so if arlovski loses his next fight we should never see him again? anyone that loses three in a row should disappear from UFC? you sound like a true fan

The thing with pride is there fighters have a very lengthy winning streak that make them the legends they are before their career is over. For instance Vandy won 22 fights in a row before his first loss in pride. Sakuraba won his first 9 fights in a row before losing, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira was on a 13 fight winning streak before losing to Fedor. Cro Cop won his first 7 fights before losing. The point is, pride fighters deserve the air time they get, fighting with pride has nothing to do with pride not kicking them to the curb when they overstayed their welcome.

In the UFC on the other hand either Dana White pulls some Vince McMahan shady business like with Frank Shamrock, BJ Penn, and Jens Pulver so fighters don't even want to fight for the UFC. Or the fighters are overated and lose every other fight they have but they seem to impress some UFC fans. But they have to show me more before I give any fighter respect just because he makes for an exciting loss. The only person to get that respect from me is Tank because he damn near killed people in the ring, reminded me of my favorite hero----->

???????? Make your mind up, you say they gotta go on a winning streak to stay but then you say you like Tank "Mr. more losses than wins" Abbott. What up with that?

Thank you. Come on now, I know Tank sucks and has no skill hardly at all, but I'm sure you've seen those early fights just as well as I did. He was the most entertaining loser of all time. LOL

Stop being arbitrary, of course his wins were exciting, that was more joke than serious, but yes Tank is trash.

Nick Diaz is not a loser. The three fights he lost were close and to very good opponents.

[ArMnHC]

why so much focus on Nick Diaz on this thread anyways? now mentioning Gouveia, Combs and Abaddi makes sense...but you know why these guys are getting on the big shows? they are names that people know, and names sell PPVs whether anyone likes it or not. People are gunna order UFC 63 just to see BJ vs. Hughes...and some are gunna order it cuz they hope the main card fights all run quick, and Abaddi submitting to Gurgel is going to be shown...LMAO!
