Yeah I also was watching some stuff tonight that made me think even more about this. Most of the time guys aren't fighting in the UFC, they fight is some low level promotion getting their head beat in for a meager wage. Plus the guys at the elite level don't make near the dough that other elite fighters make while the Fratitias (sp) and White get fat. If I was an insurance company in this backwards country, would I want to cover someone who gets the crap beat out of them for a living? Hell no. That seems to be the case a lot, no insurance and you get punched in the face for a living. I am kind of paraphrasing Forrest Griffin but its true. Gus is having his first MMA fight next week vs a 3 year old. I wouldn't want to be that 3 year old, Gus is a killing machine. Klotz Thanks for the comments Feltes, thought you fell off the planet.

After thoroughly reading your fine article, I have to say I completely agree with every word, from 'I clearly have a problem' to 'Jared Allen's mullet exponentially adds to his badassness.' Clearly MMA athletes have superior training methods, and participate in a sport that most definitely requires more 'Skill, not just God-given physique or speed.' Just ask Johnnie Morton's bitchass. Obviously the hits he took week after week, season after season, while Scott Mitchell perpetually left him high and dry during inside post routes, did NOT prepare him for the barbaric strikes he took during the 2minutes (generous) he spent in the octagon. Also during that conversation with the Detroit Lions legend, ask him why he didn't submit to a urine test after his lone MMA fight. Evidently steroids do not guarantee a victory in MMA, whereas in most other sports, they almost surely add to an increase in statistics. That alone has gotta say something about which sport contains tougher/more talented athletes. Just a lil food for thought. But with that said, hows life bro?? You still out in Rochelle? Gus gettin big?? Hope alls well buddy. And to all the other gentlemen associated with this site, keep up the good work, I'm a fan. Take care guys. Peace in the Middle East! -Feltes Frater Kzilla,
