The Bean is my all-time favorite fighter. He never backed down from a challenge and was always a good sport. He silenced his doubters and destroyed stereotypes. Tremendous humility. Glad that he got his health together after retiring. Much respect. 31 Reply 3 replies @troyfaure4315 8 days ago His Chin Is What Makes Him Special Along With Power TOO.

Thanks for keeping us fight fans fed 21 Reply 1 reply @LesActive 7 days ago (edited) Nice tribute, thank you. The guy is a phenom, a savant to the sport and this is a well deserved addition to your catalogue. The man's got drive and I love his fights. My stepdad was a bar manager/bouncer for years and the only fight advice I ever got from him was, "never fight a fat man - you can never tell how strong or how fast they are." I've never fought a fat man, except in judo class. That was frustrating. 10 Reply 2 replies @joshuapatrick682 7 days ago Dude threw an overhand right that tore a hole in time itself 9 Reply @bensheekey1399 5 days ago Can we just appreciate DDP.

I’m so glad you’re alive and you got hip surgery and you can walk again.. cheers to the underdog. Go Butterbean.

In & out of the ring ButterBean is such a class act & a real role model I and all those around me have truly admired, respected & always rooted for. He has such strength & power that makes it so fun to watch him get underestimated & dominate with true hold my Beer performance. Such an icon!! The JackAss bout was such a riot as I remember!

I am in the position Butterbean was when he couldn't stand up straight when walking (old spine injury). The pain is unbearable. Multiple spine specialist say there is nothing they can do to help me. I'm just happy to see Butterbean doing so much better, I just hope for his sake and his grandchildrens sake he won't get back in the ring. He's proven himself over and over. I love Butterbean and want him to be able to live a healthy, happy second half of his life. I've had so many injuries that I have pain from the top of my head down to my toes. I'm sure Butterbean deals with some daily joint, arthritic, nerve or fibromyalgia type pain 24/7 from all the hits he's taken but I hope I'm wrong. May God continue to Bless you Butterbean. Stay active and keep your body moving so you don't stiffen up. Just don't let anyone pound on you except for your youngest grandchildren. I wish you a long life of Happiness and zero to very minimum physical pain, Butterbean. God Loves you and so do I.

Fights to the death were rare as gladiators were very expensive. They would carry a lot of weight to protect their vitals and also to be able to take impressive but relatively safe cuts for the crowd. Like the Bean they were also incredibly strong and quick, the fat was there to protect. Reply @carlthegamer9215 2 days ago (edited) God i love this guys commentary lmao.
