Braidwood actually had an mma fight before he went into boxing. He tko'd future UFC fighter Ryan Jimmo in his only mma fight back in 2007. It was the 1st fight for both guys and the only time Jimmo was ever finished by strikes (injury stoppage excluded). The Canadian MMA scene is pretty dead right now so he's definitely going to make more money in boxing. The funny thing is that 4 of his 8 boxing matches have been against MMA fighters.

He was listed at 185 last season. http://www.cjfl.org/roster_players/13579569?subseason=300046

Not UFC but still in the fight world - former Eskimo Adam Braidwood picked up a minor world boxing title tonight in Montreal. Herb Zurkowski had a good article about him the other day. http://montrealgazette.com/sports/former-top-cfl-pick-adam-braidwood-vies-for-redemption-in-boxing-ring

Or Transcona... we seems to get a lot of franchises opening their first locations out here (Wild Wing, Famous Dave's, 5 Guys, Mary Browns'). Either way, I'm there if they open one!

I can see Huff joining Buono in that select club.

Chris Jones disagrees with this post.

Guessing he's extended his playing career a little bit longer.

Lochard signs in Ottawa.

He started out as a wildman with crazy strength, then went to the smart heel and then back to wildman gimmick for the rest of his career.

That's because he was in his late 40's and had been wrestling for nearly 20 years by the time the mid 80's rolled around. I don't know that anyone would have ever had him as a top in-ring guy even in his younger days (although he did work well with Sammartino apparently) but his gimmick was perfect for the Rock N Wrestling era.

No love for The Hangover?

He also used to eat the turnbuckle pads.

Big part of my childhood gone right there.

His doppleganger is Ed Helms from The Office IMO.

My profile says 4 days for me and it says I have an advanced member! My wife might disagree but it's on the Internet so it must be true. ?

Awe shucks...

Didn't see that one coming... guess the price was right. Some people can step back from the ledge about Davis being #2 now.

No different from Westwood's retirement. There might not be any papers filed making it official, but he's done.

Yep, wikipedia has him listed as DE but he's a DT.

They are trying!

I know there are other directors being considered as well but I like Gibson as a director so I'd be ok with him getting a shot. His not liking those kinds of movies doesn't concern me... DC has hired a lot of guys who do like comics and look how that has worked out for them!

Montreal adds Ernest Jackson

Yeah he took Big John's reffing course in early 2010 so he's been at it for a while now, not sure how many fights he's got under his belt now though.

Nothing has changed as far as refugees coming from Africa. The refugees in Emerson are mostly from Somalia where there's been a civil war going on since 1991. Minneapolis has a large Somali community so refugees tend to go there for support. Since Trump is trying to ban Somalian refugees, a lot of them are trying to get to Canada rather than wait to see what the US justice decides to do.
