Just look at the size of his head, and he ain't even all that tall. When I first saw him fight, he was 100 times faster than I was expecting. His hammer fists are just ridiculous. Its like he's swinging giant sledge hammers. Speaking of hammer fists, how do you guys feel about the stoppage of the Sakara/James Lee fight?

Dana's not going to fall for it. Will there ever be cross promotion? Yes, there will, but the other organization has to be on the same level or real close to the UFC because Dana is not lifting any of them up. Look when Pride was in its hey day, the UFC was always trying to get cross promotion match ups so that's not the issue. The issue is Shaws fighters are not on the UFC fighters level so Dana isn't going to waste his time. I mean come on, who's there biggest named fighter, Kimbo Slice? Are you serious? I He wouldn't last two rounds with Chiek Kongo All Shaw is doing is trying to goad Dana into cross promoting so he cash in on the UFC’s success. Dana’s not going to fall for it.
