Three questions the bUGLYbLOG would like answered:

  • What if a guy got an artificial elbow due to a surgery, would he be allowed to compete since it could legally be used as a weapon?

My guess is this is a no. You really don’t want some guy like David Loiseau unloading on your skull with a titanium bow.

  • How would the Royce Gracie of the early nineties fair against the guys dominating the UFC today?

We all know the Hughes fight was just a payday, similar to the Ortiz/Shamrock fights, but back in the day Royce was putting guys of all shapes and sizes asleep. I really can’t even make a guess on this one. And would it matter if he was allowed to wear the Gi?

  • Who is a bigger has been, Ken or Frank Shamrock?

I think this is a draw. I don’t fault Ken for the payday bouts with Ortiz. For one, TUF made him look like a jerk, so I think they (the UFC) owed him. My feeling is Ken knew he was done as a fighter and just took advantage of a money making opportunity. Frank, however, doesn’t appear to know he’s done. The EliteXC fight against Renzo was a joke. He had no answer and decided to cheat to get out the bad situation. We’ll all know for sure after the Baroni fight. Scratch that, Baroni may not be the best measuring stick to answer this. I heard Baroni is cutting back to a pack a day in preparation for the fight.
