    good man takes balls and no hesitation... saw the opportunity to intervene successfully and took it... can always go wrong but as he said he knew he could do it so he felt he should and he's right if somebody pulls a knife at somebody then you should assume they WILL use it and do something to stop them... that's my two cents anyway... better that then stand still and watch somebody get stabbed and die as a result... risks both ways so might as well proactively try and turn fortune your way.. other will disagree, of course you would have to feel confident you can do something rather than jump in half heartedly without skill in execution and make a situation worse as a result.

    Pretty cool story.
    MsSweeney is a guy we all had a good laugh at in the cage but he makesw the news for a good reason here :)[/url]

    Why have a laugh at him in the cage? He's not of a great standard by any means but he went in and gave it his all and came out with a few wins. How would you feel if someone was laughing at you or one your students performances in the cage?

    I don't know what you mean by " we ", JmcS performed quite well in TUF. He was the first overall pick by Rashad Evans and beat Wes Shivers and Matt Mitrione before been beaten by Roy Nelson. Not bad by any means and certainly more then you'll ever achieve.

    I think he meant by the way he came across as an arsehole and a bully on TUF. He walked around like he was the best fighter on the planet and then got his ass handed to him and has went on to have a 10-9 record (hardly world class).
    I know the show can be edited to portray guys whatever way the producers want, but he came across as a total idiot and at the time of the show I can't think of one person who liked him.
    Fair play to him for handling the guy with the knife though. That takes balls.

    Pretty much what i meant yup.
    you taunt a guy to hit you and he then cracks you with a beautiful shot? Dunno bout you but i find that hilarious.
