About Marcus

My name is Marcus. I am not a good writer. Please enjoy.

Favorite fighters, in no order:

Lyoto Machida (Hey, when Cecil Peoples is cageside, anything can happen)
Masato (not an MMA guy but I had to mention him because his striking is perfect and he has a cool nickname)
Kazuo Misaki (Hard to hit ... a potentially interesting fight for Anderson)
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (loved watching him whoop Couture ... has he ever looked better or more prepared?)
Tyson Griffin (He was going to take a poop on Jim Miller anyway)
Chris Lytle (Kim hurt ... Anthony Johnson or Brian Foster to take his place?)
Katsunori Kikuno (he's straight out of a bad movie ... but he's surprisingly effective)
Antoni Hardonk (reprehensible performance against Pat Barry ... what the hell did he look so mad for? Relax.)
Patrick Cote (when is he coming back? And can he fight the next guy on this list when he does?)
Tomasz Drwal (he looks stacked at 185 ... talk about a sleeper)
Mr. Anthony Johnson (Who's next?)
Dong Hyun Kim (Latest to get hurt)
Jon "Bones" Jones (I am so sick of Brandon Vera. Exactly how many chances are they going to give him?)
Robbie Lawler (I'd love to see a Diaz rematch in December)
Shane Carwin (give me Shane over Brock if it ever happens)
BJ Penn (Put on a show for five rounds against Diego)
Roger Huerta (shame how it all turned out)
Mizuto Hirota (yep)
Cain Velasquez (ditto for Cain over Brock)
Fedor Emelianenko (unprecedented)
