Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 16, 2011 I'll be getting them McCarthy and Buffer books. Sound good. Hope Buffer includes the story of the time he had a fight with Frank Trigg in a lift  Shane Carwin's fucked his back up and is gonna be on the shelf again, until mid 2012 the reports say  As I ramped up my training for UFC 141 my body locked up during training. It wasn't like the Lesnar fight but my back just tightened up and I froze. I scheduled an MRI and the results showed that my disc in my lower back is into the nerves . My doctor gave me two options; retire and I could probably go on for a few years without surgery or I could undergo surgery and continue my career. The decision was easy. I have unfinished business. The UFC had me lined up to face one of the best in the world and I am confident I have everything I need to be a Champion. I am scheduling surgery and I hope to return to the Octagon by spring or summer 2012.  Didn't even know he was scheduled to fight at UFC 141. Wonder who he was gonna fight? Werdum maybe? This isn't a good sign for Carwin, so many injuries in such a short span and for a guy that size and at the age of 36 time isn't exactly on his side either.

Hope Buffer includes the story of the time he had a fight with Frank Trigg in a lift    I've heard him tell the story a few times. During the Expo in London he was asked about it when he was doing a Q&A. He said that he has an excellent spinning backfist because of the way he has perfected the Buffer 180 and he managed to land it in the lift brawl.  Brilliant.

He is rumored to have signed with the UFC.  I would like to see Werdum fight Dave Herman if he is cleared to fight after his pre fight drug test. Stephan Struve could be another decent option.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 16, 2011 Haha. I'd pick Buffer if he could lock up a rear naked choke. Trigg could get choked out by a tight fitting polo neck for fuck sake  edit - Werdum vs Struve sounds mint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 17, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 17, 2011 Anyone read John McCarthys book? I thought it was a fantastic read and probably my favourite MMA book. He goes into alot of detail from his early life and LAPD aside from the massive amount of MMA stuff. There are loads of very cool stories in there and it is written so well. Pick it up if you haven't already.  Also, Bruce Buffer will be releasing a book next year. That should be awesome. Stu, you don't fuck about with these books. You fly through em.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 18, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 18, 2011 Jorge Santiago has been cut from the UFC. A few Sengoku fighters were legit. seen as top 10 guys at the beginning of the year, but some heavy defeats since coming to the States kinda ridiculed that theory.

pryko Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Think I may download John mcCarthy's book later as I just checked it's availability on iBooks. Â Can't believe UFC 3 has Gabriel Gonzaga and Sean McCorkle, but no Matt Mitrione. What is that about at all? No Joe Lauzon in the Lightweight division too. WTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have like to have a few of the Heavyweight sluggers such as Beltran and Browne in there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Travis Browne is in the game.  With the size of the Lightweight division, it was obvious they wouldn't all be in. But I was hoping Lauzon wouldn't be one of the guys cut from the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
