Me and my brother were at Black Angus with my dad and we were stealing mints at the door, when a HUGE guy, with a long goatee, a bald head, a stomach that made the cooks happy, and a UFC jacket walked in. I was in awe and I forgot his name! My brother then said, "Oh shit! Tank Abbott" and I was like "Tank!" We didn't really sound like groupies, more like a bunch of guys that haven't seen their homie for a while. Either way, he just walked on through and didn't even give us eye contact. I wasn't a white belt in Jiu Jitsu then, but trust me, if I was, I would've given him a flying arm bar on the spot! :-)

No,I went to Edit my post because I mistyped I've but I clicked quote,and I can't delete the new post.

[Karlinhos]

well, at least you typed "she's a hot" and not "he's a hot" (like sweep did, lol).

i don't know about you, but i would NEVER say or type the words "he" and "hot" in the same sentence. lmfao!

Carlos Machado.....

Trained with:

Frank Shamrock - He toys with you on the mat
Bob Cook - Deceptively skilled. Got me by heel hook both times.
Ryan Bow - Quickest fighter I've ever seen.
Marco Ruas - Currently training with. He is "Frightening" to spar with. Great guy, but he'll give you a little torture even after you tap.
Pedro Carvalho - Skilled Jui-jitsu guy, but you train with gi's - not my "cup of tea".
Joe Moreira - I have some issues here!
