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 (damn you for getting locked up ... I think he'd be an interesting fight for Anderson)
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (loved watching him whoop Couture ... has he ever looked better or more prepared?)
Tyson Griffin (earned a much needed stoppage against Hermes Franca, who eats nails for breakfast. Look out, Jim Miller!)
Chris Lytle (Oh God, they're making him fight Kim ... it's either gonna be Koscheck 2.0 or the Fight of the Night, with no in-between)
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 (finally hitting the big time with the Koscheck fight ... I think he's ready)
Dong Hyun Kim (Lytle fight will tell us if DHK wants any trouble on the feet)
Jon "Bones" Jones (love this guy ... Hamill is an intriguing fight for him)
Robbie Lawler (I'd love to see a Diaz rematch in December)
Shane Carwin (give me Shane over Brock if it ever happens)
Diego Sanchez (Oh the times they are a' changin' ...)
Roger Huerta (shame how it all turned out)
Mizuto Hirota (yep)
Cain Velasquez (ditto for Cain over Brock)
Fedor Emelianenko (unprecedented)

    New Article: Marcus's Half Baked Take on MMA Lookalikes

    In today's column, we're going to play a little game I like to call "MMA Lookalikes" in honor of the Nogueira brothers, who in my opinion, vaguely resemble each other. Also, that picture made me laugh...
