Tom Stade is very under-rated, just getting quite big over here though. Stewart Francis is your best and most famous comedy export over here...
Regi D Hunter is getting fairly popular too.

edit - oh, Canadians.

yeah he's pretty big now but people seem to either love him or hate him. I think he's quality, got his DVD somewhere. He was the guest at the Football Association Awards Ceremony a few months ago and got lambasted in the press for his bad-taste jokes (obviously a lot of the usual racial stereotyping based material). Pretty funny because the tabloid press made out that everybody at the awards show was disgusted by him and that nobody laughed and that people even got out their seat and left the room! Hunter then uploaded loads of photos to his facebook page showing people in the crowd (famous Football Managers, players, personalities, etc...) all laughing their off and getting photos with him after and stuff. Turned out it was complete opposite to what press were saying

ha yeah, I've never thought much of Russel Peters, I know he does sell out some arenas here, but he's not thrown in your face constantly on TV shows or anything. He's never appeared on "Live at the Apollo" or the "Comedy Roadshow" as far as Im aware

Largely down to Clark Carlisle, the gimp, trying to protect his image as the intelligent, respectful bloke. You'd think if they didn't want racial jokes they wouldn't hire a guy who's schtick is making racial jokes.

?! Definitely disagree here. I think that Jones won't look to take him down immediately and will spend most of the first round brutalizing him with body kicks and front kicks with relative ease. For the record, I think that Jones has bought into his own hype and has stopped evolving as a fighter to a degree, so I can only 'cap him at around -600 here.

ha I don't mind Clark Carlisle, actually used to live round the corner from him in Northampton! But yeah, was a ridiculous decision hiring him in the first place what with the FA's over-sensitivity on racism and the whole "Kick racism out of football" motto!

The way Gustafsson cut's angles and moves around i don't see him being open to any front kicks or body kicks at all, Gustafsson pretty much moves like a FW look at his fight with Silva for instance and how he was moving around and he's very fast once he unloads and he cut's very awkward angles with his punches plus he mixes it up.

Gustafsson has equal or longer legs then Jones btw, and their arm length is very close aswell at most 1-2 inches difference.

Thiago Silva was slow and just plodding around - he'd been out for 15 months, was easy for Gust to be elusive and pick him apart. He actually got tagged a few times in third round if I remember rightly

Gustafsson got blasted by Shogun and Thiago multiple times. I'd hardly say he's a defensive wizard.

At most 1-2 inches? Try 7.

Should probably either think of getting a better prescription for your glasses, or think about using them 'capper' dollars to invest in a pair. And Gustafsson brawled with Shogun that's why Shogun had any luck connecting.
