Legit Coleman fighting for Legit. I like seeing Coleman be the GnP guy he was always supposed to be. HammerFists.

Interesting. Figured Cain would be WAY better than that. lol

[The Rocketmen]

Thanks, and it sucks Velasquez had to lose to prove a point, but I'm glad Coleman is where he is now.

[The Sandmen]

Yes.

I agree. Never said Coleman was shit, just that I expected WAY better out of Cain...

[The Sandmen]

It's also like this is Coleman the way he SHOULD have been. He has now been developed to have the elite GnP skills here, but in real life, stamina was always his problem. Here, it isn't, so he can win more. I am really excited about him now.

We do have quite a few of those in the league though.

[The Sandmen]

I think he is the best example. He is built perfectly to his strengths, with his weakness repaired, and he fights like Mark Coleman. Other guys fight some like their real life counterparts, or they fight just like them but are just okay. But I think Coleman is the best example of the potential real Mark Coleman had, if he were able to get his stamina in order.

So would Randy Couture. lol

[The Sandmen]

No, as all fighters have been created in their prime. That is why Tim Sylvia is not getting his ass handed to him by 3rd rate bums here.

sandmen would be maxed out on stupidity stat

[The Sandmen]

I think I am maxed out on stupidity defence, since I put up with all you clowns so much.

[xx - Team GAP]

but asshat stat is definately maxed

[The Sandmen]

For you clowns? Yes, that was the implication behind why my "stupidity defence was maxed" comment.
