Vale Tudo fights are right behind soccer as a national obsession. Now lets see, a kid into martial arts in the country who view the Gracie family as national heroes...yeah I'm thinking he was exposed to jiu jitsu at an early age. According to my Brazilian friends there is a fighting culture in Brazil so kids learn early. Challenge matches are common. That is what I meant by his schoolyard experience. He is also > more humble than your other UFC goons. Is that a quality that you value? Really? Trying to make him seem more special among other MMA fighters because he trained in a style you studied is so lame. There are all sorts of people in MMA just like anywhere else. Your "my guy is the bestest" routine has worn thin. He doesn't have the record yet to support it. He needs to start finishing fights instead of letting them go to decisions if he wants to rise to the top in UFC. So far 7 out of 11 wins going to decision is not great in this sport. But you knew that because you are now a UFC expert right? --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, off_world_beings <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" > <curtisdeltablues@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, off_world_beings <no_reply@> > > wrote: > > > > > > ""Unbeaten in 11 pro fights, Brazil's Lyoto Machida is one of the > > > most accurate and technical strikers in the game today.
