UFC on Versus 6

[SPX]

If AJ wasn't so damn big I would be really confident in Brenneman.

In Warrior AJ plays a middleweight. There's a reason for that.

In Warrior AJ plays a middleweight.

As did Kurt Angle. (Saw it tonight. I thought it was pretty good.)

Extended thoughts?

And I have no idea what Angle really weighs . . . not that I have looked into it much. He doesn't look huge, though.

I think Angle was always a HW. He looked big to me, but maybe that was the point -- to have someone who looked like a monster in there.

Anyway, it was definitely the best "MMA" movie I've seen. It was just generally done very well overall, a good character movie. Ultimately, a lot of the implausibility did weigh on me. Most sports drama movies only ask you to believe in one crazy underdog making it to the top, this one asked the audience to believe in two. And of course, all the other unlikely MMA details... Still, those things didn't totally ruin it for me, unlike (say) Redbelt.

Redbelt was a travesty. I was so excited about that movie... and then...

I think Angle wrestled 220 in the olympics. Not 100% but he is a big man.

Word.

I thought it was good overall. I enjoyed it and thought it was a "good" movie -- well acted, well written, well made. Yes, there was some implausibility in the story, but for the most part I was happily along for the ride and well invested.

The critics also liked it:

As for Redbelt, I agree that it was disappointing, but I didn't hate it. The tying-the-arm-up thing was really the worst part about it. That was mega-gay. But other than that, it was a decent Mamet film.

There was an interview with Angle...apparently they based his character off of Fedor.

Anybody leaning Wiman in this fight?

I don't believe it. . .

I don't believe it. . .

Did you watch the vid?

[SPX]

I'm saying: Obviously it was based on fucking Fedor.

Invincible Russian Sambo champ who is widely regarded as the P4P best?

C'mon. . .
