The Fighter We'd Most Like to Be Stranded on a Desert Island With Us
Welcome to another edition of "The Fighter We'd Most Like To...". Thanks to everyone who voted last week in our "The Fighter We'd Most Like to Go Shopping with Us" poll. The winner with 28% of the vote was "These choices are terrible". Congrats!
This week, we are discussing the ever-so-common conundrum that people around the world face on an almost daily basis: getting stranded on a desert island. How we all got there, we don't really know (probably a plane crash or a shipwreck or someone tried to get rid of us), but we do have some pretty strong opinions about who we'd like to drag along with us. Check out our thoughts on this topic and let us know what you think, too!
Beth: Forrest Griffin. I imagine that he's the kind of dude that can start a fire with some sticks and also knows which types of berries are poisonous. Also, his chest hair would make a super comfy pillow at night.
Donna: Amir Sadollah, because we'd do it, a lot. Then he could make me laugh sometimes, and then we'd do it some more. And if I happen to see a rescue ship or plane, I'd send him off into the palm trees to forage for coconuts until the ship has passed, cause who wants to leave paradise, right?
Jackie: Joe Warren. While I realize that to anyone who knows me at all, this is an odd choice, I maintain that the volume levels this man can reach with his self-advertising and ear-splitting "Woooo! Joe Warren!!" will be more than adequate to attract the attention of a rescue boat. And while we wait for said rescue boat, I'll have plenty of time to discuss with him how much I like Bibiano Fernandes and Alexis Vila. Good times!!
Kat: Brock Lesnar. He can hunt things and he would eat most of the meat while I could forage for the yummy fruits and vegetables that he doesn't like. I bet he's good at fishing, too, and he spends all that time in deer camp "roughing" it so he has to be good at making shelter and stuff. And, if I get weak enough from hunger or delirious enough from lack of hydration, he might even start to look attractive to me.
Midge: Who better to be stuck on a desert island with than a dude who wrote a survival book? Sure, he wrote it on surviving the inevitable apocalypse which may have no transitional value when stuck on a desert island. But I figure I'd rather roll the dice with Forrest Griffin and his apocalypse survival skills as opposed to George St. Pierre and his gymnastics tips.
What do you think? Who would you choose to have with you if you were stranded on a desert island? We'd love to hear about it!

with vegans like jake shields, jon fitch or mac danzig around
you could be sure they wouldn’t be tempted by cannibalism when the fishing is bad.

If you vote "These Choices are Terrible"
you should be morally obligated to comment and share your own choice. Otherwise I’ll just paint you all as trolls and be on my merry way.
Just sayin’.

Even though this is gals guide to mma I think the majority of us readers are males so maybe throw in some female choices?
We did let a guy pick.
But he picked a dude, too!

Look, sorry dude. If I’m stuck on a deserted island with some hottie I’m going to exert myself with copious amounts of sex, and then exert myself further by doing more than half the workload. Forest griffin would neither fuck me, nor do less than half of the work.
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

You need some absolute savages. Lesnar, Griffin. Aleks Emelianenko would be a good option, as well. Minus the Hep B.

Trapped all alone on a desert island… without electricity… and without my servant, er, husband to cook and clean for me? I need me a marine! I’m going with Brian Stann. He’ll probably get a fire, food cooking and a place to sleep for the both of us by the time I count to 10 and then he’ll probably start working on a raft.

I concur that Brian Stann is an excellent choice.

…if you’re expecting to find drunk zombies on the island, then definitely, yes… oh no. This sounds like a terrible movie.

Then SyFy has probably made it. Starring Lance Henrikson, Eric Roberts, and Debbie Gibson.

And let’s not forget that we’re all stuck on the island since there’s a giant shark-squid hybrid waiting for all of us in the water.
Yeah, it’s probably already been made.

Kind of a weird discussion change…but I’ve dealt with Josh Barnett flirting with Marloes
Coenen this morning and now Felice Herrig and C.M. Punk (pro wrestler, for those not in the know) seem to be hitting it off.

Herrig irks me on Twitter. There for awhile all she did was talk about not dating because she was just “too tough” for most guys. Irritating. Maybe a pro wrestler is more her style.
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers-thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."
Well, Punk is this straight edge guy who actually has a style of wrestling based off of some submission grappling concepts and kickboxing. He is a pretty big MMA fan and does the Wanderlei hand thing during his matches.
The straight edge thing comes into play because he is that personification of the “I’m straight edge because I’m better than you” type. So he is really smug and smarmy and acts a notch above everyone. He has dated so many female wrestlers, so I guess they dig his aloof thing.
And yeah, she is starting to irk me, too. She has the mentality of a high school girl. Selling herself on sex appeal and being this tough girl type as well. She does come off as nice sometimes though.

Marloes and Josh have flirted before.
It’s pretty adorable.

He could pick all the bananas and coconuts from the tall trees and I could climb onto him to escape predators.
He could kick down trees to make a house

We’d be best friends.
