This aged well for Mendez. AKA became one of the best gyms in the world and Koscheck never won another fight after this interview.

@lisetteeliseparis7070 4 жыл бұрын

This is why Ariel can be unlikable. Mr. Mendez answered the question the first time. Ariel had to ask a second question, and then had to ask, "did he try to take anyone away from the team" and then asks a fourth question, turns it around to say, "so you are at fault", "do you regret it". Very grateful I can tune him in or tune him out. At this point I don't care if he's a fan of the spot, he's a nosy gossip with a big mouth.

I watched the pilot for the Fight Factory and I gotta say that show was LEGIT. If you are a fan of MMA, that show details the life of established fighters, new fighters, how they manage the gym, what emotions they go through before and after fights. Much like the Ultimate Fighter, but with more big names like Cain V, Koscheck, Fitch, Cormier... so that makes it even more intriguing..

Jones has a high rate of improvement, and good skills, but I hesitate to put him that high P4P unless he has some HW wins. I think a large part of his success is his amazing body type, which doesn't exist outside of the LHW/HW spectrum. He's definitely up there, but I would rank GSP and Aldo ahead of him.
