It was actually kind of a classic demonstration of why Bubba is a piece of poo poo. Casey had a lot of trouble with weight cuts throughout the season, and apparently it's been an issue for him his whole career. Anyway, going into the fight with Bubba he wasn't doing great but he still grappled the piss out of him in R1. Then in R2 his body stopped working, so he lost that one, making it a two-round draw. Casey had to forfeit on account of he was in full-blown kidney failure and could not answer the bell for the sudden victory round, and in fact he had to be carried out on a stretcher.

The important thing you should take away from this is Bubba McDaniel is such a bad fighter that he lost a round to a dying man, and is such a shameless turd that he earnestly celebrated winning the fight that way.

He was convicted of aggravated assault multiple times between the ages of 15 and 18, after which he started training and "turned his life around". I'm not sure where you got that he assaulted a woman; I never heard that connected to him.

Maybe someone here can translate this, but here's an outline of some examples of Gus being a bad person


quote:

http://minfil.org/Ham1ecbeb3/B1057-05.pdf

Page 10 Alexander admits jumping a man and his girlfriend unknown to him other than that the man was friends with a man who had been in a scoffold with Alexanders friend two years earlier.
Sentenced for obstruction of justice (threating and beating the plaintiff) Sentenced for assault against a man and a woman

http://minfil.org/I8m3e4b3bb/B2992-05_B2991-05.pdf
http://minfil.org/Ffmce7b4ba/B3129-06.pdf

There are like 10 people in these sentences that he has beat up.

I'll quote sentence B3129-06, Alexander sentenced for "aggravated assault".

Plaintiff and girlfriend had been at restaurant, meets Alexander with friends afterwards.

Alexander goes up to him and asks:"Have you talked poo poo with person X?"

In which the plaintiff says No.

According to Alexander his eyes then went dark.

Beats the man to the ground, kicks him in the head while unconscious

Sentence B2992-05

Man with girlfriend leaves clothes by public pier while bathing, Sees Alexander Gustafsson with friends going through their clothes.

Alexander is seen dropping a white package of cigarettes on the ground while the woman's white cigarette package from her clothes is missing. The couple decides to just leave but when they do, the woman says "it's wrong to steal from bathing peoples' clothes".

Alexander then lifts her up and throws her on the wooden pier, when she recovers from the chock she sees Alexander sitting upon her boyfriend head-butting him.

The heavies, though the most successful ones of late tend to be on the younger end of the heavyweight age spectrum. Hunt is 40, Werdum is 36 and Bigfoot is mid 30's too, so it's still the old man league.

This is true. On the other side of this, the lighter weight fighters tend to top out earlier due to speed and reactions being much more important at the lighter weights.

Yeah the records from Gustafsson's trial are pretty unpleasant. In addition to what has already been mentioned he was sentenced for assaulting one of the plaintiffs in order to scare them into dropping the police report that they had filed.

I don't doubt that Alex has sorted his life out since then and regrets his actions - he was still a teenager at the time - but it makes it a lot harder to root for him.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I remember my time as a teenager when I threw a woman and then headbutt her boyfriend. Kids make mistakes, stop judging the time I assaulted a woman and then viciously attacked her boyfriend. We all did it. It's perfectly natural.

Definitely agree but Jon Jones has his 'being a douchebag' game on point so it's going to be extra satisfying to see him whine about his legacy right after a loss

Has there ever been a fighter as successful but also as unlikable as Jones? I know some folks didn't like Anderson Silva but outside of clowning in the octagon he didn't seem nearly as bad.

Gustafssons criminal record from his youth isn't pretty but the crowd he hung out with back then was a mix of swedes and immigrants who and a lot of what he was involved with, as I understand it, was fights with the local racists. So at least he was no white supremacist.

He had a number of title defenses against overmatch opponents and looked really good until Randy beat the crap out of him. But he basically spent years ducking Chuck Liddell.
