Posted Wednesday September 02, 2009, About: Shogun considers weight change

That's fking sweet, Bubbles!

Rua better get his head in the right place or the Dragon's going to get a 1st round KO!

Posted Sunday August 30, 2009, About: Marquardt hesitates demanding Silva title bout

Seeing that he got knocked out in the first round versus Silva in their first fight makes sense that he wouldn't be so hot-to-trot once the adrenaline wore off...

Posted Tuesday August 11, 2009, About: White: UFC eyeing Lashley

Agree, Duke. Lashley (if he keeps improving) would greatly benefit the UFC Heavies, and add a threat to Lesnar just because of his size and strength...

Posted Thursday July 30, 2009, About: Emelianenko rejects UFC deal

I'm also starting to be pulled to the other side about Fedor as well. What Buffalo wrote is perfect, what else is there? I'll always be a fan of Fedor, but I'm done defending him...

Posted Tuesday July 28, 2009, About: MMA may add instant replay

And the human errors are part of the sport itself. It's the same argument I use for ALL instant replay in sports. Not a good idea...

Posted Tuesday July 28, 2009, About: MMA may add instant replay

This is a bad idea and don't know why it's being considered...

Posted Saturday July 25, 2009, About: Spurrier admits Tebow snub

I agree with this. Who gives a rats @ ss about whether or not Tebow got all the votes. He's a good collegiate player but not like he's anything spectacular. He'll be a bust in the big show anyway...

Posted Wednesday July 22, 2009, About: Kimo Leopoldo: I'm not dead

Shouldn't be basing their stories off TMZ anyway. When have they been a reliable source?

Posted Wednesday July 15, 2009, About: Mir calls out Lesnar for rematch

Mir deserves a rubber match but he'll have to wait. There are others in line for the shot at the title. Though I have to agree with most statements on this board, I don't think he stands a chance, Lesnar's size trumps Mir's ability, period.

Posted Friday July 10, 2009, About: Do or die for 'The Hammer'

Agree with mlanzo. Bonnar was the "other" guy in his fight with Forrest and hasn't done shiite since.
The Hammer needs to accept he's old and basically a nobody in his division. He should open a gym somewhere and be happy with that...

Posted Friday July 10, 2009, About: Michael Jackson was UFC fan

Screw Michael. Before he died no one wanted to say anything good about him, he kicks the bucket and all of sudden he's this great person with his ugly mug plastered everywhere. He was a worthless piece of shiite and a waste of oxygen, skin, and money...

Posted Friday July 03, 2009, About: Rampage says he'll fight Evans in Memphis

That's in interesting solicitation...

I agree with raqeeb. Intelligence doesn't equal snob, but talking like an idiot does equal, well, idiot. raqeeb's thoughts on mainstream are absolutely true. Look at the big 4, how rare is it that we see someone like Pacman talking in the post-game interview, or Sprewell (I realize that he doesn't play, don't focus on that), or some other inarticulate idiot. Almost never, in fact, never. Instead we get to hear Peyton, Lebron, Tiger, guys that sound smart. Rampage is a walking sideshow and is bound to say idiotic things so that's why the mainstream media talks to him. If Dana was smart he'd tell him to wisen up or shut up, because it does give off the impression that MMAer's are buffoons. The idea "Any press is good press" isn't true. But, this is also my opinion and others have their own opinion...

Posted Thursday July 02, 2009, About: Rampage says he'll fight Evans in Memphis

I have a hard time believing Rampage is ducking Machida, but it does seem odd that he'd rather fight Evans. Yeah, yeah, the two have jawed back and forth and Rampage's saying he wants to "correct" Evans. But I can't think of any other fighter that wouldn't want a shot at the title. It's not like Evans is going anywhere. But the money issue that hwm brought up is definitely an interesting idea...

Posted Tuesday June 30, 2009, About: UFC adding 240 million viewers?

Probably a fantastic idea for the pocketbook of UFC and for the sport as a whole. I don't know anything about China in relation to MMA, but it seems that they could really take a shine to it. Like Japan, the Chinese seem to like to see people get beat up, but being a Communist state, who knows how this might work out...

Posted Tuesday June 30, 2009, About: White to sit down with Liddell

I think it's time Chuck finally hung up the gloves. He just isn't the legendary fighter he used to be. White should try and convince him to do something related to office work for the UFC, a posterboy or something, some marketing job, cause stepping in the Octagon hasn't worked out for him recently...

Posted Monday June 29, 2009, About: Atencio strikes back at White

Between the two, Atencio is the bigger ****. He should be concentrating on his failing organization instead of fighting. What does that prove? That your fighters are so awful they can't beat the CEO?

Posted Saturday June 27, 2009, About: Rampage sued for miscarriage

The reporting has lagged big time, and it's a shame. IMO, the major problem of reporters and the journalism world is the laziness that has become so common...

Posted Wednesday June 24, 2009, About: Affliction done with Arlovski

With no names like Mike Wessel and Pat Barry on the UFC HW roster, why not bring in AA? He's known amongst the fight community and can still put on a show, would also help to bring a little notoriety in the HW division...

Posted Saturday June 20, 2009, About: Eleven medical suspensions from UFC 99

Definitely, thanks Magsy...

Posted Friday June 19, 2009, About: Eleven medical suspensions from UFC 99

Though it's pretty safe to say that most of the "big" sports have a steroids problem and are floundering (ie Baseball) or hiding it (ie NFL). My opinion is let them take it, they're all adults (it's just that stupid class 3 drug problem).

Posted Friday June 19, 2009, About: Eleven medical suspensions from UFC 99

I'm going to assume that "medical suspension" has something to do with testing and steroids. If it didn't, then suspension would be the wrong word. OR, I just like controversy and steroids is at the top of the controversial list. IF this is steroids, then the UFC better clean it up fast or it'll throw a wrench in the legitimacy of the sport, just like steroids has done to other sports that have had this kind of problem.
