Doc, how do you think he will do considering the fact that most of the IFL fighters that have gone to other promotions have failed to do much at all?

Comment by Dr J about 4 months, 3 weeks ago

Well, Hieron is very experienced fighter include several fights in the UFC a few years back. There isn’t much out there for welterweights other than the UFC or EliteXC so he should be good.

wow did everyone forget about this site or something, or is there just nothing to talk about? there has been like zero activity here for a few days now.

Ya i noticed that too RJ, it IS a slow period, but still, its been like a ghost town. Another thing i noticed was that the P4P thing has so many votes, but nobody stops to drop a comment about it.

Comment by R.J. St.Croix about 4 months, 3 weeks ago

yeah i think there is a bunch of readers around who just dont post at all. its probably because a lot of other sites you get horribly flamed for saying just about anything and people dont like to feel dumb so they just dont bother.

(Comments wont nest below this level)

Ya that could be it RJ, though were not as bad as most sites out there. It sucks when theres no MMA on, this is the longest no-mma period i remember in a long time.. Now im remembering what it was like in the old days, we always had to wait 3-4 weeks between events.

On the other hand, starting around Sept 6 until oct 4, theres something like 12 events happening lol. Cant wait till MMA comes back.. sigh..

man i remember about 5 years ago when i would sit and wait for like 3 or 4 months for the next UFC card and half the time i didnt know who was fighting until that night lol oh how the internet has spoiled us lol. before i realized that there was websites like this out there i was starting to think i was the only MMA fan left in Canada lol i remember my friend handing me a beat up VHS tape of UFC 19 one time and he was acting like it was a bag of weed lol at that time it was still a bit taboo around here and only those with blood lust would dare watch such brutality lol.
