TKO 2nd rd Shields smash hey fanboy's ELBOW'S from the mount and side mount UFC's 170 pd division is in trouble.
Of course they're rooting for him. Any non-UFC promotion would be rooting for their former fighter to win a UFC debut against a UFC veteran. They think it helps validate their own promotion and the quality of their fighters. This is not news, it's common sense.
maybe people would like showtime more if they said jake shields sucks and they didn't want him with a few f bombs in there. hey maybe they'd even get invited to give speeches at universities around the country.
i would like to think showtime is rooting for him. i'd like to know there are companies out there who still operate with some class and professionalism. still bent over dana saying he cut nick diaz and who's kj noons. yeah who's kj noons? kj would run a train through your whole lw division including frankie dancing with the stars edgar that's only who. chump. how is this guy influential?? ok so go around lying, manipulating and overcharging your customers and throw in some f bombs and all of a sudden you're someone to be looked up to. totally ass backwards.
Wow. I'm sorry that nobody loves you, and you feel you have to lash out at everything not related to Strikeforce.
The nice thing about living in a country with freedoms is that you have the option to not watch what you claim you don't like, not buy what you think is too expensive, not read things you don't believe in, and not leave comments when you have nothing of value or meaning to add. Please, Pip, for the sake of the rest of us, exercise those options! Just try it once.
Well actually 'the dude' I think that I did make a very valid point and speaking of options yes I think I will exercise my option to continue saying whatever the f I feel like saying and continue being that person that people can't stand. And since you mention have choices as to paying attention to things that you like or don't I recommend you take your own advice and that's if you don't like my viewpoints than you have every right to ignore them and not pay any mind to it. That choice is totally up to you as this is a free country. Oh and Dana is a dousche. Thank you for your time and have a great day.
Pipflock,you really need to see Shrink.You've always had the right to have NO Opinion & No point.And Man you have neither. You cann't help being who you are.A Weird CREEP!!!
so hector i looked you up on facebook and must say i wasn't surprised to find of all the hector alfaro's, there was one wearing a tapout shirt who's interests are UFC. not even mma. just UFC: Ultimate Fighting Championships
Hector if there are people who get irritated by my comments you should know that you are the ones i'm targeting. the obvious fanboy. also your favorite tv shows, reality shows. dude get a life. wow. FANBOY
HaHa PiP is looking kids up on facebook watch out Hector he might be a ninja.
pip u know Sheilds doesn't suck and honestly I Don't get why the "FAN'S" who say there fan's. Sheilds doesn't have much standup though he does have descent jab to keep opponent's at bay so he can go for a single or double leg take down , and's he's one of the best at what he does.
