How he goes out of his way to help the new guys and answers everything honestly. And here on this post he flames this newbie and gives him a bunch of sarcastic bullshit. Way to go Txlonghorn you got my vote. What a joke!!!!

Oh yeah Don Frye as well he recently made a comeback to NHB in Pride about 4 weeks back. He was a 220ish fighter in the UFC then he left to do Pro Wrestling in Japan and got up as high as 270 at one point. Thai , yeah bro I am not a huge guy maybe never will be ,I fought mostly around the 170-180lb mark and when I would bulk up even as little as 5kgs it had a direct effect on my hand speed which was lightning fast at lighter weights around 170lbs . On the flip side I did find that extra size and strength helped my shooting a lot. I found the extra size is also a hinderance trying to manuevure for submissions from the bottom as well . You had any NHB fights bro ?

Luca Brasi said:In the UFC Ken Shamrock is a admitted steroid user , Mark Coleman , Mark Kerr was but now is'nt he actaully dropped very very quickly from 250 lbs down to 220lbs when he came off steroids. Kevin Randleman is on , a guy called Shawn Sherk ,
Vitor Belfort was ...belfort was always a great 190lb athlete ..then in the space of 3 months between events he ballooned up to around 220-230 he lost stamina coordination ands got his ass kicked .Then he learnt from his mistakes and went back down under 200lbs ...then he kicked ass and looked sharp again. Sadly has has ballooned recently again for his fights in Pride a Japanese NHB event which most of the top fightiers now compete in.
Even the always thin and lanky Royce Gracie recently used steroids to get his weight up for a heavyweight tournament in Pride ....he got his ass handed to him by a Japanese fighter by the name of Sakuraba who has also beaten 3 other gracie family members. Steroids and NHB fighting are really not a good mix and history has proved it , haveing 8 years of jiu jitsu under my belt I can definately say that I was much better lighter and whenever I bulked I lost too much speed and co ordination to make the extra size worth while.
Anyone wanna talk NHB or any boxing or martial arts start a thread down in the sports forum , I'd love to have a few good dicussions on the topic as I am a fighting fanatic.

Jeremy Carriere said:Young Deltman is right. The fight was over 90 min. and if you take a look at that entire fight you'll see that Sakubura tapped in the second or third round but the ref missed it. He even went to Gracie's lockerroom after the fight and admitted that he tapped and said he'd give Royce a rematch so what the fuck are you talking about? Gracie injured himself in the fight and there was no point in really going on so they threw in the towel eventually. Basically, this fight was over in the first few rounds. Saku is a good fighter but him handing Gracie his ass, don't think so bro...
