For about 2 years now i got interested in MMA, living in Brazil and having tons of friends who practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu it was always around me, and after I showed interest, they quick in trying to show me the whole scene so I wouldnt be a noob
Nowdays im an enthusiast and have many Favorite fighters, here are some highlight videos for your pleasure of my all time favorites.
JZ Calvan, extremelly talented fighter, had a bad streak lately but im sure he will rebound from it, would love to see him on the undercard of the UFC working his way up in the big org
Jose Aldo, watch this guy, he is the new Anderson Silva, surreal stand up, and it is said his BJJ is one of the best in the world (altho he never really needs to use it).
Mauricio Shogun Rua, altho it has some bad audio clipping in the begging, this is the best highlight I have ever seen, watch it to know the career of the most dangerous fight to ever fight at LHW (and current UFC champ) MUST SEE!
And his rival, Lyoto machida, currently 1-1 with Shogun, epic epic epicness only a Japanese Brazilian could show us.
The legendary Anderson Silva, nuff said, the is music made by a Brazilian Rapper/Pastor/BJJ teacher (yep lol)
Carlos Condit, The natural born Killer, one of my top 3 favs atm, I just love his style, and I think he could be champ in the future, also hes 26-5 and 98% of his fights were finished, SICK
Junior Cigano Dos Santos, gona be on TUF 13 against brock lesnar, 1st contender

I think you mean 0-2.
I love shogun just as the other man, it was a close fight and he got the nod, in my book thats a win, same way machida lost to rampage.
And to be honest, in my scoring Machida won 3 rounds to 2.
Maybe in pride rules shogun would have gotten the nod, either way Machida gave shogun more trouble than anyone considering shogun was healthy and on his zone, I hate the way peolpe put his accomplishments down when it was one of the best fights ever.
These kinds of commentary really put me off, and walk away from the realm of healthy discussion, and I see it as nothing more than a subtle poke in the eye of anyone who gives machida credit for the first fight ...
To be honest, altho machida won the decision he lost the mental game, and you could see it on the rematch how off he was, that was shoguns true victory in the first fight, but in my interpretation machida really won those 3 rounds and the decision, close as it was, rematch was a sure deal.
I love machida and I hope he can rebound from this.
Since ufc 126 is right around the corner, I wanted to bump this up, and also suggest you to check the topic i just made in the sports session about UFC 126!
