I think it's appropriate to take JLB out of my avatar after his antics yesterday. I have no idea what he was thinking when he stormed out the ring after the third. It was obviously a draw, and even if it wasn't a fighter doesn't go off in a tantrum half way through a fight. I think he was just tired and din't want to be beaten properly. He really tarnished his legacy as a K1 legend. I think the uncrowned king is finished. Here's the fight.

Man, I lost so much respect for Le Banner after that display of **** poor sportsmanship. He is a talented fighter but he's also a professional. His behaviour was disrespectful to his opponent, his team, the organisers, the fans and the sport. He acted like a diva. I hope he serves a ban for this.
K-1 is dying. =_= In tribute: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXEbacXbcMM"]YouTube - Mark Hunt vs Jerome Lebanner HL by Hero 1[/ame]
