TireeTerror wrote: » Yeah its some story all right! I met him when we both lived in Tenerife. He actually introduced me to watching MMA, I had wrongly assumed it was just another WWE kinda of affair. So he told me to download whatever UFC fight had just happened and he came to mine to explain it all. I couldnt believe the brutality and have loved it since! His story was something he was naturally worried about as he started piling up wins and the UFC was a real potential option, fortunately the press coverage has been making it more dramatic than negative, so hopefully it works out for him.
