**stottie** · 05-23-2010, 03:29 PM

yea that was sad right there. it was like he forgot what ever traning he had and did have a clue how to grapple or wrestle. deffintily dont have the brock lessnar type of speed.

I would like to see Tim fight Bob Lashley, someone who knows how to wrestle.

He took the sport that helped to make him rich and famous and he spit on its image.

Nathan "Megaman" Jones, another former WSM champion did the same thing on a less publicized level in one of the very first PrideFC promotions when he showed that he was athletic and that he'd taken action movie martial arts lessons before, but didn't know anything about grappling or advanced street fighting.

Jones' crescent kick was really acrobatic but he didn't know how to choke, he didn't know how to throw knees from the clinch and once he hit the ground he had a pseudo panic attack. At least Bas Ruten didn't know that he was a WSM winner or else he'd have broken out his "You can buy muscles but you can't buy balls" nonsense speech. At least Jones showed up at his full 340 lean pounds and at least he threw a crazee Van Damme kick (that earned him spots in movies, like Troy and a stint in pro wrestling.)

There's plenty of strongman competitors who also know how to fight and who have the mental outlook and willpower to do so. Take Gerard Benderoth for example (America's Strongest Man finalist and a pro boxer with a 74-8 record.)

I was ringside at the event. Marius looked small. Guess he checked in at 273. Sylvia looked fat. He checked in at 308.
I was surprised Marius made it out of the first round. When he just fell on the ground in the second round it was over.
The highlight was the entrance. He had some guy rapping that was actually pretty good. Everything after that stunk.

About 4:00 it looks like Mariusz is too tired to even hold his hands up anymore. I'd hoped he would do better.

nathan jones was set to be a star for the wwe, but didnt have much skills that translated to pro wrestling. he just had a good look.

as far as mma back at pride 1 nobody knew what to do. but, that was over a decade ago so nathan jones had a good excuse to look bad. pudz doesnt have as much leeway here. especially, the way he just dropped in defeat and commented later publically about just 'giving up.'

Still he lost to a fat guy in khaki pants. What an odd thing to wear in a fight.
