Kaitlin Young’s Bargain
Following up on? my post? ? about how not making weight may have been a good move for Gina Carano, I have some questions about the kind of reasoning Kaitlin Young had to do.? There’s been a lot of talk about how “the fix was in” for some of the fights at EliteXC Primetime. But [...]
Carano’s Bargain
I think a lot of people are missing something in the Gina Carano weigh-in scandal. Yes, she failed to make weight, but she also failed to try to make weight. 3.5 pounds (or 3 pounds depending on if the clothing rule is true) is a lot to lose at that weight (and yes, weight is [...]
Overhyped
A lot of? grumbling? is going on in regards to Kimbo Slice’s crappy cardio and his complete lack of a ground game. And that’s fair: the man has work to do to live up to his hype. But who’s to blame for that hype? i’d lay that at the feet of Gary Shaw and CBS. [...]
UFC 82 and Ignorance
We live in what people like to call an information age. Every day we are bombarded with so much new information that we can’t help but learn new things. And with this new information, one might think that we’re all getting more informed. But it turns out that ignorance is a constant. Every time some [...]
UFC 77: Wrap-up
Well, I only managed to correctly pick 5 out of the 9 fights, but it turns out I did about as good a job as the bookies, so I don’t feel too bad. As mentioned, I got to take my first trip to Hooters. I had a sandwich that was labeled “Probably Iowa beef” which [...]
UFC 77 Preview: Picks and Predictions
My favorite Habs fan and I are heading out for my first trip to a Hooters to check out the fight in an hour or so, so I guess I should make my picks for the fight official. Without further ado, my quick, lousy, uninformed picks, this time in a sentence or less: Rich Franklin [...]
Randy Couture to Fans: I Can’t Have My Way, So I’m Taking My Toys and Going Home
The MMA news is reporting that because Randy “The Natural” Couture can’t have the fight he wants with Fedor Emelianenko in the UFC, he’s not going to fight anyone. Expect future reports indicating that he sucks his thumb, wears diapers, and would like some Wonder Pets DVDs for Christmas.
One of the toughest fighters in the world?
On this past week’s episode of Human Weapon, the guys did some training in MMA. Jason actually managed to win his fight (against some nobody in the IFL) and Bill held his own against Ricco Rodriguez. The part that stuck in my mind was when they introduced one of their trainers, saying something like, “Many [...]
UFC 76 Wrap-Up
It’s a good thing I didn’t get around to posting any picks for this event because I was wrong about every single fight on the main card. After the first three fights, I turned to my buddy and said, “I feel bad for Shogun Rua and Chuck Liddel.”? And lo, their asses were kicked. Forest [...]
