Remember Mikey Burnett?

Yes. I remember the East Side Assassin and was a big fan. Had high hopes when he was on that comeback season of TUF.

Yea I thought that was the one....I think it was Mikeys other fight in the UFC that was awesome, where he smashed a Brazilian dude. Regarding your other post about the Lions Den.....it just shows that while despite being a group of badasses, these guys just weren't training right for the sport. All of them, including Ken and Frank, had their careers fucked by injuries.

I remember he beat a highly decorated wrestler in one of the earlier UFC's.

Townsend Saunders. IIRC he was an Olympian, or at least a national champion

Mikey was bad ass, he had mic skills too, remember UFC 21 in Miletich's home town Mikey was getting heat from the crowd he cut like a pro wrestling promo in that interview I can't remember exactly what he said but it was funny, he was like all you morons in the crowd need to sit down and shut the hell up.

He was an Olympic silver medalist. And a manlet. And resembled a thumb...

Crazy how much one judge can change your life.

Shame his neck gave way. On TUF 4 he seemed to have been turning a corner.
