Mexinaco Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Since DREAM 9 just finished I had been thinking about the David vs. Goliath matches and about the freak shows and I had been wondering if there is a difference between them and if they had happened inside the game and I realized that I have three fights that could be considered “freak shows”. The first two are from my guy Gavilan Barrera, in both he is the shorter and the lighter fighter: Gavilan "Volador" Barrera [ 1736 ] vs Jeganathan "Jack Hammer" Mondero [ 1127 ] Gavilan "Volador" Barrera [ 1736 ] vs "Wall of China" Feng Wei [ 426 ] These last two could be called David vs. Goliath matches since the difference in weight and stature is not that big but the next fight from my guy Chike Rusesabagina it´s a freak show: Chike "Zulu" Rusesabagina [ 5030 ] vs J ""The Jazz Violinist"" Wilson [ 4773 ] I know that there is only a 10 lbs difference but if a 6' 11" fighter beating a 5' 3" fighter can´t be called a freak show then I don´t know how to call it. Now I wanted to ask you all something. Do you guys have any freak shows in any of your fighter’s record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 gavailan got so lucky. He didn't land a punch or strike of any kind on the ground or on the feet and got a lucky sub. 9 times out of 10 he loses that fight. can't wait to get that rematch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinio Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I have a 150cm (4'11") tall Light Heavyweight so every one of his fights is a freak show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnyspack Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Not strictly freak shows really as the weight and that aint massively different. Has there been any legit ones so far. Any org thinking about a Super Hulk Tourney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 My friend had one fight with 43lbs weight difference. http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=6239 Do not try to read this fight! It's 99% clinch with endless control attempts and 106 elbows thrown by "David", 98 of them landed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonkey Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Don't have too many fights under my belt yet (got a few coming up, though ), so the closest I've got is: http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=3665 Not much weight difference (my guy gave up only 7 pounds), but my guy was also 55 cm shorter (which, I think worked to his advantage), and 3 years younger, and secured the win.

Vandarlay Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 not exactly david & goliath but my mw fought 2 lhw's & won all of them by KO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinio Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 how much does your midge....er, vertically challenged fighter weigh? 205lbs. I should move him up to heavyweight. He's won his first 2 fights though. Once you're in the meaty grip of his stubby fingers, there is no espace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
