Looking at the templates, I was wondering who some of these styles are. (Pardon me if I missed a topic where this was discussed. Honestly, I cannot find it.) Ace in the Hole - Rich Franklin Beach Boy Gone Bad - Tito Ortiz Big Daddy's Home - Joe Stevenson Boxer - Average Boxer Cyborg - No Idea Enter the Spider's Web - Anderson Silva Farm Boy Ground and Pound - Matt Hughes Feet of Fury - No idea. Standard kickboxer? Fireball XL - No Idea Ground and Pound - Standard Mat wrestler? Ice Cold Killer - Chuck Liddell Jiu-Jitsu - Standard Jiu-Jitsu user? Judo - Standard Judo user? Kick Boxer - Now I have no idea who Feet of Fury is! :) Man of a Thousand Tapouts - No idea. Standard submissionist? Method(ical) Man - No idea. Muay Thai - Standard Muay Thai user? Natural All-Round Fighter - Randy Couture Pain Prodigy - BJ Penn Rampaging Onward - Quinton Jackson Rush Job - Georges St. Pierre Sambo - Standard Sambo user? Skull of Steel - No idea. So I Faced An Axe Murderer - Wanderlei Silva Standard All Rounder - Obvious Standard Brawler - "" Standard Shooter - "" Standard Striker - "" Submission Fighter - Obvious. Terror Rising - Matt Serra The Beast is Free - Dan Severn or Bob Sapp? The Heat Is On - Ryan Parisyan Welcome to Hollywood - Dan Henderson Wrestler - Obvious. Help with the others? EDIT 1: Cyborg = Fedor Emelianenko? Fireball XL = Takanomi Gomi? EDIT 2: Some notables not here are Tim Sylvia, Andrei Arlovski, Mirko Cro Cop, Frank Mir. Hmmm.

Okay, so we have a bit of a consensus on some of these. Hilarious that I keep thinking Karo's name is Ryan. :P Ones we need to figure out for sure: Big Daddy's Home - Gary Goodridge or Joe Stevenson? Cyborg - Cro Cop or Fedor? Feet of Fury: Cro Cop or Shogun? Man of a Thousand Tapouts - Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira or Royce Gracie? Skull of Steel - Wesley 'Cabbage' Cabbera or Kazuyuki Fujita? No agreement on "The Beast is Free". Severn or Sapp? And, could Ryoto Machida be Method(ical) Man? EDIT: Right now, I do think Cyborg fits Fedor better, and Feet of Fury COULD be Cro Cop. I'm not familiar with Nogueira at all, so I'm not sure if he fits. Are retired guys taken into consideration here? EDIT 2: I'm pretty comfortable saying Fireball XL is Gomi.

..yes. There was a big consensus on this a while ago. The only one I'm not sure of is Fujita. Everything else I put, is something I already knew, or what everyone else decided. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua fits the mold of "So I Faced An Axe Murderer" more than Feet of Fury. Fedor = Cyborg. It even gives the poor cut resistance! Mirko = Feet of Fury. There are no other big name fighters with kicks like his. Big Daddy = Gary Goodridge's Nickname, and he's known for slamming and big punches. Joe Stevenson is not known for big punches. :mad: Royce has no punching game. The build of Man of a Thousand Taps gives excellent boxing technique, something Royce does not have. Ryoto = Methodical Man. This was proven by Adam. :o The Beast is Free = Severn. It doesn't fit Bob Sapp at all.

I'm inclined to agree. I just know Sapp's nickname is also "The Beast". I'm not familiar with Sapp, so I'll take your work for it. So, with that, all we need is: Skull of Steel and Man of A Thousand Tapouts. (Unless you're positive Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira fits there. He's another dude I don't know too well, but I'd be willing to accept it.)

BlizzardVeers is right on all of them. Big Daddy's Home - Gary Goodridge = "Big Daddy" Goodridge would be my bet. Cyborg - Fedor = DUH :D Feet of Fury: Cro Cop = Read the description, it's Cro Cop. Man of a Thousand Tapouts - Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira = DUH :D Skull of Steel - Kazuyuki Fujita = His nickname is "Ironhead"

We have ourselves a debate! I am totally in the dark in regards to "Man of a Thousand Tapouts". I'm inclined to agree with "Ironhead" as opposed to Lindland though. The name fits the description much better. EDIT: LOL @ video. Yeah, that Lindland is obviously a joke. This isn't a good first impression of him for me. :)

[QUOTE=Carparama;334039] I am totally in the dark in regards to "Man of a Thousand Tapouts". [/QUOTE] To maybe "ease your pain"... [I]Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (June 2, 1976 in Vitória da Conquista, Brazil) is a Brazilian heavyweight mixed martial artist, known for his technical mastery of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and his submission victories. Nogueira is also noted to be a proficient striker, training annually with the Cuban National Boxing Team.[/I] Pretty accurate compared to the description.

I wasnt kidding, He hasnt been KO'ed for awhile, has tooken some big shots watch his fight with Rampage, and he is a Greco-Roman Wrestler who turned Striker... basically so it fits him more then Fujita. Even Though i admitt Fujita has one strong head along with Mark Hunt.

Trust me...it's Fujita. His skull is thicker than the average humans, he is a former Japan national Greco-Roman champion. Edit: He has only been "knocked out" three times...One by corner stoppage, one by cut, and one by strikes (Wanderlei).. All officially [I]Technical[/I] Knockouts (TKO). He has never actually been knocked out cold. Lindland on the other hand... two true KO's. One by himself in one of the most embarassing moments, and then David Terrell knocked him out in 24 seconds.

[QUOTE=RingofHonorGuard;334076]I'm sorry guys but Skull of Steel is Mark Hunt. As tough as Fujita is, his skull/chin isn't even close to Hunt... who took a full force Mirko high-kick, stayed standing, and won the fight. Man of Taps is the Nogueira brothers, and anyone else that shares their style. Josh Barnett could also fit that bill.[/QUOTE] Trust me... Fujita is skull of steel, lol

[QUOTE=Carparama;334071]Yeah, that seems about right. What makes you think "Thousand Tapouts" isn't Nogueira?[/QUOTE] Because for starters Nogueira has better boxing than to be just able "to defend well" (case in point, he tooled Heath Herring save the head kick) but mostly there are two rather well known fighters who fit the bill better, whether intentionally or not - Shinya Aoki and Vitor "Shaolin" Ribeiro. Nog jist armbars people, Aoki hits stuff like flying triangles and gogoplatas, and Ribeiro made the arm triangle choke his finishing move.

[QUOTE=Mling;334162]You do know Hendo... goes doesnt use 'Hollywood' anymore right... he is 'Dangerous' Dan Henderson.[/QUOTE] In the hype video for the fight with Rampage, they stilled called him "Hollywood". He may not anymore, but, at least for me, that's the nickname I know him for.

You have to take in consideration that all the templates is mainstream fighters, "gimmicky" fighters so to speak. Aoki and Ribero wouldn't be considered mainstream, but like you said, intentionally or not. Man of Thousand Tap Outs oughta still be Minotauro, even though others may fit better.
