Actually you don't even need to answer that, you can't put a price on learning BRAZILIAN jiu jitsu from the very best (at blue belt level). Can I just transfer a few hundred quid to you via PayPal and you can refund me the difference at your convenience? Regards, Me. PS. Is Eddie partaking in some unsactioned street fight on the 8th of November, and if so, won't that put him at a slight disadvantage for his fight in NYC four days later?

I'm starting to wonder if this site is worth the time I spend on it anymore. It's nothing personal against you or any mods in particular, it's just that modding as a whole has gotten seriously overbearing in the past couple of years. I'm sorry to have replied to this on thread at all because it's not the done thing, but I needed to get that middle paragraph out there in the open.

wonderfullife wrote: » Yeah, i don't think he's cut out for the Promotional side of the game. Can't question his heart though - the swelling on his face after the 1st round of the Melendez fight was insane. He fought the last 2 rounds against Gilbert effectively with one eye open. When i say 'i think Conor will KO him' it's not out of disrespect to Eddie - his ability or his heart. I just really feel stylistically it's a good match-up for Conor. People like to talk about the wrestling but the most important factor, for me, is the way Eddie punches. He leads with his head. Historically, Conor has dismantled everyone with that style, especially when he has a reach advantage - and a 5" reach advantage in this case too. I just can't see Eddie closing that distance regularly enough without getting clipped. Chin - Suspect Heart - Unquestionable He's got the Bisping heart. Able to drag himself to his feet after being dropped. 1st round is crucial. If Eddie gets him down more than once and/or lays on him against the fence for 5 minutes it won't be good.
