I think it's safe to say Okami will never be getting a title shot or appear on a main card. :( It'll take him a long time to recover.

I dunno about "loads of talent," but he's certainly learned to maximize the talent he does have, which is admirable in itself.

[Cell]

I dunno about "loads of talent," but he's certainly learned to maximize the talent he does have, which is admirable in itself.

I think he has lots of talent in every area but submission defense, that will always be the extremely weak part of his game.

[Rumbin]

Ahem....live thread?
