    sticks and stones, Mike, there’s no such thing as a fair fight.

    whine all you want, he has the upper hand and all you can do is whine.

    whine further!

    i wouldn’t be surprised if cruz’s parents are filipino since many filipino ex-patriots move to guam

    your comment about basketball is just like saying – why does mongolia have a soccer team? people like the sport… not because it’s colonial mentality. spain didn’t even invent basketball, you dummy.

    who created boxing – does that mean most countries that have boxers also have colonial mentality?

    plus, you should check the philippine national basketball roster – even at 6′, you’d be one of the shortest. you’re probably a slob…

    I’m impressed but still weary of Pinoys in MMA. If a Thai has not come up or Koreans come up, it’ll be awhile. I mean, the only Asians to really dominate are the usual: Japanese. The video up above has two pinoys brawling it out, it was action packed but even on the ground it was brawling, and that arm bar from the guard was a text book sweep. It’s a long time before we get a Pinoy on the levels of Lyoto Machida, Kazushi Sakuraba, Genki Sudo, Shinya Aoki, Takanori Gomi, or Enson Inoue. We need Pinoys who’ll travel and train in Brazil, Russia, Thailand or Japan. All the current champs have fought around the world.
