The Fighter We'd Most Like To Cheat Off On A Test
Welcome to this week's installment of "The Fighter We'd Most Like To...". Thanks to everyone who voted last week in our "The Fighter We'd Most Like to Find Out is A Long Lost Sibling" poll. The winner with 36% of the vote was Dan Henderson. Congrats!
Being as I would never ever advocate dishonestly of any kind and that I trust you would never resort to less than honorable means to gain an advantage on something like a test, you probably cannot even relate to this post. But, let's hypothesize about it, anyway, shall we? Let's say you're in the middle of finals week and you're on your last one of the year after already taking four really difficult tests. You are completely worn out, exhausted and your brain is fried. You wanted to study last night but you accidentally fell asleep instead. And now, you're in the classroom struggling through it but you don't seem to know much of anything. You notice that you have classmates so near to you that you can easily see what they're writing on their exams and you're tempted to take just a little peek. But you know it will never be worth the risk unless that classmate is a smarty-pants who has done really well in this course all semester. The classmate next to you happens to be a fighter and you're in luck because it's exactly the person you think can help you out with all sorts of correct responses. So, who is it? Check out our thoughts on this topic and let us know what you think, too!
Beth: This one's tough. I'm actually the person that everyone used to cheat off of. But if one of my old nightmares came true and I actually did forget to study for a big test, I'd want to cheat off of Rich Franklin. I'll copy off a math teacher any time. Their brains work real good.
Knitty: I'll go with Anthony Showtime Pettis, since he's pretty resourceful. If he can't figure out the answer, he'll find someone to head kick and we can steal the grade books.
Kat: I obviously need to be sitting next to a fighter who is smart in the academic sense when taking this test. I'm picking Shane Carwin since he was an engineer. Engineers are not only good at math and science, but they also tend to be good at just figuring out some way to do something so I am confident Shane would do well. Also? I never cheated on a test ever!
Keren: Georges St. Pierre. Isn't he a self professed nerd? I'm a complete nerd myself so I probably would peak over, see his answer, see that it's different from mine and just keep my answer and figure that he's wrong. Did I mention that I'm a nerd?
Rach: If I'm ever screwed to the point of having to cheat off of someone to pass a test, I'm going to have fun with it. Matt Horwich is just the right guy because it is a beautiful universe and he sure likes to talk about it.

I think you need to add John Cholish to the list
Cornell graduate and active wall street broker, I think he’d be pretty smart.
I'm not impressed by your performance......
Oh wow.
I didn’t realize that otherwise I might have picked him. Did he study engineering?

Do the ladies respond positively to "The Ruckus"?
Perhaps she’s more of a mayhem or commotion fan. Maybe she gets off on fracas, fray, or fuss?
Could she possibly have a fetish for rumpus, racket, or uproar?

then there's the lady fighter who's an MD.
she had a pretty well circulated thing in the last month, about Cyborg or Roussey, maybe. Probably Cyborg, on account of the piss test.

Rosi Sexton?
She’s not an MD but she has a PhD. She’s super smart, too. Her features over at BE are really good.

Less well known -
Rousimar Palhares is one of the foremost world authorities on the history of printmaking.
He’s written widely used textbooks on Durer, Hogarth, and Schlieker.
Or maybe he’s the guy who keeps mistaking his opponent for a roast chicken and trying to help himself to a drumstick.
Whatever.

i’d certainly take Horwich. he might not have the right answers, but they’re guaranteed to be interesting.
