Joe Silva is really good at his job and has been following the sport since before Fulton turned pro. I do believe Fulton fought in pre-Zuffa UFC though. The thing is MMA records aren't about the number of opponents you've beaten or how many times you've gone undefeated in the jungle fight, it's about quality of opponents and what can you actually do? Beating up a million no-names in smaller promotions isn't going to get the attention of UFC as quick as beating a guy fans are familiar with or having skills so impressive word travels around gyms & other circles and quickly gets to Joe Silva or Sean Shelby.

Julio Cruz posted:He has an NC on his record which, according to Wikipedia, is because the fight got stopped for rainfall. That has to be pretty unique. I did some googling and the youtube videos seem to have been nuked (so props if you can find them), but in the early 2000's there was a King of the Cage event held outdoors that they didn't stop for a rainstorm. The fights turned into a slip and slide and it got so bad the refs were wearing raincoats. Dark age MMA was loving weird.

Current mma is loving weird. I just watched a bunch of bums fight bare handed in a triangle thanks to lobstermobster. There's a bunch of other weird poo poo going on that I just don't have time to look into. I can't find a copy of the pirate mma thing.

To end the Schaub contract talk. On the next Companion podcast he actually corrects himself by saying that Joe Silva called him and reminded that he got paid 14/14 for Nog fight.

Most of Travis Fulton's record is a long string of bums that he fought almost weekly for a long time. He's bad at fighting and also a bad person. His current MMA record 251–50–10 (1) His current MMA record against fighters with wikipedia pages 12-34-5 The only wins I see that are even semi-relevant are 15 years ago and they'r over Cabbage (lol) and what was presumably a 300lb Joe Riggs.

Ben Rothwell is the Butters of MMA. A big lovable lughead who was shat on and under-appreciated for so long he developed a Professor Chaos persona who walks out in dark robes to songs from the Bram Stoker's Dracula soundtrack and delivers goofy ineffectual villain-laugh promos hellbent on world domination and plunging the heavyweight division into chaos.

Imagine if Rothwell and Fedor fought in Affliction and it went exactly like the Mitrione fight. I mean it wouldn't have, but imagine.

Ben Rothwell on the mma hour: "I punched fear into his brain, that is why he went for takedown" "Dana White is a bigger star than any of us, I bet he doesn't even watch the ufc" He is very entertaining in this interview. e: "I didn't want to be like "thank you Jesus..blah blah" no one listens to that" Fozzy The Bear fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Jun 8, 2015 |

No way that's the shortest path to beating GSP, Couture, Penn and Fedor. Rothwell > Reem > Hunt > Kohsaka > Fedor > Coleman > Shogun > Machida > BJ Penn > Hughes > GSP E:oh poo poo, missed Couture. Rothwell > Reem > Hunt > Kohsaka > Fedor > Big Nog > Coleman > Shogun > Machida > BJ Penn > Hughes > GSP
