What a waste of human tissue, and an idiot. Anyone who engages in dogfighting or, I believe, ANY KIND of animal fighting, should be held legally accountable to the fullest possible extent. If there is a god, then it is surely pacing the floor in sadness, anger, and disbelief.

1. Q Jackson
2. C Liddell
3. W Silva
4. K Jardine
5. F Griffin
6. M Rua
7. L Machida
8. R Sokoudjou
9. T Silva
10. R Evans
11. T Ortiz
12. H Alexander

Based on this list of the top UFC LHWs, some proposed match-ups:

1. Q Jackson (#1) vs F Griffin (#5):
I thought Jardine deserved the shot, but Griffin’s more experienced and more popular…

2. M Rua (#6) vs R Evans (#10):
A chance for Rua to showcase his skills, and a chance for Evans to prove he belongs in the top tier.

3. K Jardine (#4) vs T Silva (#9):
Winner is the #1 contender.

4. W Silva (#3) vs T Ortiz (#11):
2 waning stars who desperately need to impress.

5. R Sokoudjou (#8) vs H Alexander(#12):
PRIDE’s 2-hit wonder vs UFC’s 2-hit wonder. Both knocked out some badasses before being exposed on the ground…

6. C Liddell (#2) vs L Machida (#7):
If winnner wins impressively, he’s the next contender after Jardine/T Silva.

How is letting them fight for 10-15 minutes and not to the death any different from actual dogfighting? Answer: it’s not. Most dogfights last 20 minutes at most and are not fights to the death. Deaths mostly happen when the dogs fights for 30 min+ or are killed by their owners after losing a fight. Roy Jones is an idiot.

Thanks for your kind words.
Honestly, I’m not suggesting that everyone run out & purchase a pair of gamecocks,some spurs & a jump into the scene. But, I just don’t believe that dogfighting & cockfighting are the same thing. Far from it.
I can appreciate that many don’t echo these feelings & they certainly have every right to their opinion, but I just felt the need to voice mine.

I think we should throw Roy Jones Jr in an octagon with a 300lb fighting Ostrich and put it on pay per view. Just a note, Ostriches can kill you with a kick and are known for the excellent head movement, in effect rendering Roy’s jab useless.;-)

You couldn’t make stuff like this up! What a complete fool.

Not fighting to the death but fighting the same fight for 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes w/o allowing the killing is COMPLETELY acceptable. What did he cork their teeth like Peter Pan or muzzle them so they frolicked like puppies? Thanks for clearing up any discrepancies Roy, I almost thought you were a bad guy.

Jim:

I agree with you 100% and have been making the same argument about Tyson chickens to people for a long time. It is a complete double standard. Also, having seen cock fights before I will tell you that they are not that interesting and the birds rarely die, they just get scratched up and then stitched.

Come on people, dogs are fuzzy and lick your hand, chickens are just ornery and strange.
Al the difference you need right there. And the above makes a good point. If your so damned worried about the health and well being of chickens you best be fighting to shut down all the factory farms and support free range organic

Wow, what a wazzock (Roy Jones).

As for cockfighting somehow being more acceptable than dog fighting. Plain and simple, it isn’t.
