The Fighter We'd Most Like to Have a Beer With

Beers_medium

Welcome to our new weekly feature, "The Fighter We'd Most Like To..."! Each week, we will select a hypothetical situation where we would need one fighter to fill a very important role, such as the person we'd drag to the bar to have a beer with us. The contributors will each name the fighter they'd choose and then attempt to justify their selection. We will choose one extremely interesting scenario every week and welcome comments from readers to tell us what their choice would be and why. Rest assured, we won't choose anything too scandalous or inappropriate (sorry?), but will try to keep in interesting. So, let's get to our first one...The Fighter We'd Most Like to Have a Beer With.

Beth:  Easy peasy. Amir Sadollah. I'm so much more delightful after I've had a couple of beers, thereby increasing my chances that he'll sweep me away to travel around the world with him.  

Donna:  Forrest Griffin. I imagine that he'd be filled with folksy wisdom and dirty jokes, interspersed with some of the most epic beer burps ever burped. Oh, and as a final treat he'd crush the beer can against his forehead when finished. Sigh...

Jackie: I've actually said this for awhile: Matt Serra. We could have a few beers, start to get a little tipsy, and he'd tell hilarious and embarrassing stories about Matt Hughes from their season coaching TUF together. Awesome!

Kat: This one is way too easy for me: Chael Sonnen for sure. He tells the most delightful stories so I know I would be entertained, and the conversation would flow so smoothly (him talking, me drinking) that I would end up getting really drunk and I would start to believe everything he said. For example, I saw his fight against Anderson Silva and I know he lost that fight but I really think that after one night of drinking and listening to Chael talk, I would be calling all my friends the next day and proclaiming, "As God as my witness, Chael Sonnen won that fight! Because triangles don't count!".

Midge: I despise beer like Brock Lesnar despises getting hit in the face. The smell, let alone the taste, makes me cringe, gag, and inch towards the fetal position...however, if Marloes Coenen asked me to get a beer with her I would be hard pressed to say no. Marloes has that double threat to make you do ANYTHING. First she can bust out those big blues and lure you into doing anything like a cute little girl going "pleeeeeease". If that fails, she can twist you into submitting to her will. If my sweet Marloes wanted to get a beer, then a beer we would get.

What do you think? Who would you choose to have a beer with? We'd love to hear about it!

If we were best buds, he and I would just insult others! Besides, he’s a big softy for realsies. Don’t be fooled by his brash persona.

Wandy is only tough to understand on Twitter

Plus, you don’t need to understand what he’s saying – just how he’s saying it. If he’s smiling and laughing, just smile and laugh back. If he’s solemn or angry, bow your head and avoid eye contact until he’s happy again!

How does that make for a fun drinking buddy?

You are all blinded by your love for Wandy. It’s kind of sweet, actually.

Aw, come on!

Wandy would just mumble sweetly and laugh and you could give him a hug!! He seems like such a nice guy!!

He’ll be really sweet with us. He’ll tell us stories and we’ll laugh and then some drunk idiot will come up to us and say something dumb to Wandy and then the Ax Murderer will come out and everyone that was laughing and drinking with Wandy will now be cheering him on as he kicks major ass.

Dinner and a show, ladies! Comeon!!!

i almost picked wandy

And went with a “you can’t understand a thing he says, unless your drunk” bit

The bottom line is Georges is being a little bitch. He didn’t step up and say anything when the UFC pulled me out of this fight. I understand sometimes you have to do what you’re told, but why wouldn’t you tell the media you still want to fight me? If I was Georges, I would want to fight the best. I would have asked for the Anderson Silva fight. I would have asked to fight the Strikeforce champ. But he sits there like a robot and doesn’t say anything at all, just like he’s not going to say anything about me calling him a bitch now. If I saw BJ Penn walking down the street and called him a bitch, we would be fighting right there on the spot. — Nick Diaz

Also

I unvote Chael Sonnen and actually vote for Bas Rutten. That is the absolute right answer here! Bas has millions of good stories and is a bar fighting veteran, so you know you’d be safe. The only downside is that he might spend all night taking photos of his action figure and posting them on Twitter.

Keep Forrest off Twitter while he’s drinking.

Marloes Coenen

She’s sexy, and she’s Dutch. It’s not quite Belgian, but she probably still knows where to find some delicious Monastic Ales.

As far as WMMA goes

The answer, for me, is Ronda Rousey. I made this comment on my own site yesterday, but I want to grapple with her and I don’t even mean that in an inappropriate way. She could show me the finer points of Judo, we could eat a pizza and drink beer and watch both Ghostbusters movies. She seems cool.

His intensity would probably make me uncomfortable.

I imagine that he’s not a giggly pot smoker.

ive seen it

That inside mma appearance gew days after the penn fight i s a good example.

Most likely its cuz he is smoking weed after fights. Its during the camp before a fight when he has to get clean. He sgrumpy due to no pot (like me) and is gearin to whoop some ass (not me)

I would get high with Joe Rogan

Though I don’t know if I could listen to hours of conspiracy and enlightenment mumbo jumbo. Which MMA fighter is most likely to play PS3 and eat pizza rolls when high? Clay Guida? Something tells me Dan Henderson would be cool with that.

I enjoy Joe Rogan's podcast all too much.

I usually do skip over quite a bit of the conspiracy bits. He did a podcast with Micheal Shivello. Twas good.

That shouldn't reflect poorly on you all!

Just the company that you hope to keep? I don’t know. Just think of it as “other” and it seems more reasonable.
