That’s obviously the population of Australia you’re talking about John, because no one else gives a fuck about league.

For good reason.

I agree with Mr Walker. To ‘confess’ now seems like boasting, and it’s boasting for nothing to be proud about. Although, perhaps he just made up the drugs and wig stuff to sell books and top up his superannuation fund.

Cage Rage, Vale Tudo or even UFC… call it whatever you wish, it is not a modern phenomenon… rather an Olympics sport called ‘Pankration’. Hopefully it will be re-entered in the modern Olympics judged with points, rather than TKO or submission as the ancient warriors or the UFC

The cage is for the marketing appeal to us males.

Bit harsh Neil.

For a start I doubt Andres Gomez is going to give a stuff, and secondly, when most people think well of Agassi, they look to him post his 97 breakdown. It was after his comeback that he really grew in stature. For most of the first half of his career he was viewed as a braggart.

I hate him prior to it, loved him after.

He was full of it in his earlier years – a total w*nker (he acted like a total pr*ck in the 1990 Davis Cup final against Australia). Post comeback there was a sense he finally knew image was NOT everything.

So he’s writing a book for money? Oh geez how horrible!

And I guess he should have not mentioned any of the things he did to ensure a sanitized version was published. Would that be better??

I will still remember him fondly – in fact I’ll remember him as I always have, a guy who was a show off, who hit rock bottom, and then came back a better man.

I always thought he looked very interested in the white lines on court.

Saw a great movie about Hickson gracie called choke. It is the run up to the second Vale Tudo in Japan. Has footage of his fight against the brazillian who won for a long time. Amazing man amazing philosophy. Haven’t been able to get into the UFC stuff but will give it another go.

excellent, EXCELLENT article..

I agree, im sick of this cage fighter mentality .. It’s called MMA for gods sake..

(but organisations lwith names like CFC don’t help matters)

also MMA is no more dangerous than boxing, wrestling or Rugby.
If you ever want to make this case, look at a picture of (wallaby) Phil Waugh before he started playing professional rugby.. and what he looks like now.. no MMA fighter looks that bad!!

We’re STILL going to get murdered on the front row this November. The fact that there is going to be no specialists in the ‘engine room’ of the scrum means that instead of collapsing we’ll be going backwards. F A N T A S T I C

Joel Jutge must be salivating with joy at the fun he’ll have this November.
