My T&R

When John "The Mulatto Mauler" Mahlow was asked to fight ex-UFC fighter Ryan Roberts, he immediately accepted. Even though he was offered the fight with just four hours advance notice. Even though he had to drop nearly ten pounds to make weight. And even though his next fight was an XFC lightweight title defense against Luis "Baboon" Palomino -- a rising contender who's trained and coached by UFC interim heavyweight champion Antonio "Minotauro" Nogueira, who considers Palomino his personal protege and a future world champion. Mahlow defeated Roberts, by the way: submission victory, 2:10 into the second round. "Ryan Roberts fought on UFC's Fight Night 13 earlier in 2008," Mahlow explained. "That's national television -- millions of fight fans watching. And if my dream is gonna come true, I desperately need as many victories over guys with name recognition as I can get." John Mahlow's dream isn't fame, fortune, or a decade-long title run. It's one fight against one man. And that man is UFC lightweight champion B.J. Penn.

Is he doing the mauling of the mulatto's? Or is he mulatto and a mauler? Can't he just call himself 'the assassin' like everyone else?

Absolutely makes no sense why this article was posted. This is about a complete journeyman with an overall record of 11-10 in mixed martial arts, go look on sherdog, this guy is horrible. Did his manager pay you to post this on your site. Just when I was starting to legitimately enjoy visiting your site, you throw up this article on top featured articles. It just shows how little you actually know about the actual MMA industry. Giving a push to this bum saying he should get a look in the UFC=complete crap.

You'd think he'd be too wore out and dehydrated to win the firght after losing 10 lbs in four hours.

Sit in a sauna jumping rope. You would completely dehydrate yourself enough that when you step on the scale you would make the weight. It would be very tough but doable.
