Until Tapology has an ignore feature, it's just something we need to deal with.
If someone offered me the chance to never have to read a post from him ever again but I'd to get punched in the nuts once a day for the rest of my life - bring on the nut shots.

Wolf just served a month-long suspension and there are a couple moderators who are fed up with him.  So I have no doubt it will be handled if he causes a problem.

Nice to see you Russello

Anik is still Anik but he's also evolved. Anik 2.0.

Dober looks game, but Spencer looks to be much stronger.

@Russello Imo  Holdsworth has the most potential, he's a Team Alpha Male guy and has finished all of his pro and fight in the house by sub.  He's looked really really good.
