Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

He was asked if all the fans out there happy about them losing and his struggling late in games of the series bothered him...He said nope, because tomorrow they have to wake up and go back to real life while my family and I will continue to live happily and if they can get some happiness for a couple weeks or months off of that good for them

Wow and that's why Lebrick is garbage. He mocks Dirk Nowitski for being sick and then he disses blue collar America. Smart. Real smart you idiot.

reading the past couple comments makes me happy i have never had any real interest in basketball.  Seems like it attracts a lot of **********s.

@Soccer.. wow.. i didn't see that he said that.  Classless.  I was glad to see Jason K. get his title after all the years he has played.  He deserves it.

@kalibo.   i'm glad jkidd won his first title along with nowitzki. i'm also happy for their owner in mark cuban. cuban owns HDnet which is a great channel for mma action and discussion. prince james will have to wait another year if it happens at all.

I've always liked JKidd glad he got a ring, but if I was him at 38 and just won a championship I'd call it a career...He's already saying he wants one or two more years!

I picked the Mavericks to win from the start but I really don't like Dirk. Seems like a whiny a-hole to me. Good for Kidd though.

I agree w/ you @Soccer.  It doesn't get any better than what Kidd has just obtained.. and he is at the tail end of his career... no reason to go any further.

I also agree w/ you @Danno.  I can not stand Dirk either!  I was happy for Kidd and Terry... and good point on Cuban owning HDNet @Wolf.

I had a feeling James would have some arrogant comments in the presser...I missed the game as I was on my way back from Vancouver..speaking of personalities I met Kenny Florian and was pretty surprised what a nice guy he was

@ cash. i like florian as a fighter but i don't think he will ever win a title. i do see a good career for him in tv journalism. i have seen him on espn quite a few times and he is very knowledgeable and articulate when talking about MMA.

@jaffa haha ya there was a non UFC expo in Vancouver..met Kenny, Gilbert Melendez, Stefan Struve, Jason Macdonald, Duane Ludwig, Carlos Newton, Pat Miletich, Sean Pierson, Firas Zahabi...Kenny made it pretty clear he was a Boston Bruins fan during the weigh in etc so I got him to sign some vancouver canuck hockey cards he thought it was hilarious and then drew targets on their faces

Speaking of KenFlo, does any other fighter have fights in 4 different weight classes (in the UFC)  and wins in 3 of them?

And I can't think of any other fighters with wins in 3 classes except for Kenny and Diego.

I can't either strictly in the UFC...BJ has won fights at 155, 170 and 185 too, but both wins @ 185 were in K-1
