Marcus's Bio

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 (glad to see he had the surgery, he needed a break ... cant wait to see him again though)
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 (needs a stoppage)
Jon "Bones" Jones (love this guy ... Hamill is an intriguing fight for him)
Fedor Emelianenko (unprecedented)

I feel like an idiot now I just realized I put Eugene Jackson as a coach the guy was a wrestler right? I think I may have meant to put Greg Jackson. Well my goof thanks for pointing out how much of an idiot I am.
Gracias
