AK-47 would have thrived in today’s NBA with the right coach, but yeah... that is certainly somelist. They were all-stars? Christ.

You’ve gotta be kidding me with Karl Haglin.
And Gustafsson fought Jones as hard as anyone has fought him for five rounds so what is your point?
This guy has almost no idea what he’s talking about when it comes to MMA.
Agreed. But Jones having a freakish wingspan to go along with his skill gives him an advantage that is only due to being born different — not to him being better. (See: Shaq.) The one time he faced a guy the same size as him, he ended up in the hospital. Literally.
^obviously not a wrestler.
I mean, that’s a perfectly fine opinion, but that’s not where the vast majority of people are in their thoughts on that fight. Judges included.
Werdum cuts weight? He fights at over twenty pounds shy of the heavyweight limit... I assume any difference in his walking around and fighting weight is just the product of getting in peak condition.
Sorry but DC is completely overrated. He had no business even fighting for the “title” after Jones handed him his ass on a platter. Granted DC does a good hob breaking down fights, but has less than a snowballs chance in Hell of beating Jones.

Yes, let the record show these men are white! Crucial point to convey the meaning of the story!
I’m convinced Klinsmann is a Manchurian Coach, sent to keep the Yanks in their place by destroying what was recently an ascendent team.
What the fuck is your website’s obsession with Rubio? Jesus. And it's not just Big Dumb Al over here. It's been going on since Weinstein went full pissbaby and eventually left to pen 13,000 word screeds on the unacceptable quilting of military toilet paper. What is it with you guys? Is it because you know he would…
Holly Holm was never more valuable as a fighter than after her shock win over Ronda Rousey in November, and there…
My God being black and mediocre must be fucking amazing.
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. This’ll warm you up.
Much like that Gainesville cop who dunked on those kids earlier this week, these Washington D.C. cops took a little…
I’m saying! Heard they brought in Chip Kelly to pull the trigger.
