In my mind there are 4 moves in MMA history that are almost beyond description. Rampage powerbombing Arona, Aldo's double knee knockout, and Hazelett's whizzer-to-armbar are the first three. This one is number one and by a pretty huge margin.Welcome to the UFC, Showtime.

These are pretty much the "Birdemic: Shock and Terror" of the reality show genre.

This .gif summarizes my thoughts on the p4p best fighter debate after 112.

Why not BJJ? Seems to fit all the criteria you listed. Sure, it's not a striking art, but it's as effective as any other martial art as it pertains to self defense (at least on 1 on 1 situations). It'll also fit the bill nicely for keeping in shape and maintaining the traditional and spiritual side of the arts. Also, and I have no idea how prolific schools are for this, but if there are any Sambo gyms around, that might be worth a shot.For what it's worth, as effective as Krav Maga may be in application, I have very serious doubts on the qualifications of most instructers. When it comes t

I have a similar problem except when I see this:I really see this:

This guy begs to differ.

Not really, no. It's pretty much the same thing as the Anthony Johnson/Kevin Burns fight from a year and a half ago. Burns poked Johnson in the eye so badly he needed surgery to repair it, and the fight was stopped giving Burns the win. I'm sure the UFC will do the same thing here that they did with that fight...get them healed up and give them an immediate rematch.

Adam Carolla, who is a pretty close friend to Leno, has referenced this more than once on his old radio show and his podcasts. Not so much that he hasn't cashed any of the checks, but that he has never touched a penny of it, and it's all just sitting in an account somewhere. According to Carolla, all of his houses, cars, employees, etc. are paid from his standup money.

No way Diaz won 2/3 rounds either.

Amir looked great, but I think it's somewhat misleading, as Baroni just stood there and took shots from him for 3 rounds. Amir picked him completely apart, though. Ditto on the lil Nog fight.

I really wish they would have gone through with their original plans for the storyline. About 5 years ago or so, Kenneth Johnson, the creator of the original V, was talking about bringing the cast from the original show back and doing a 20 years later mini-series. I thought it was at least an original idea, but after I learned they just planned to essentially remake it, I decided to pass.

Speaking of paying attention to names, am I the only one who finds it hilarious that the gay guy is named Ash Fulk? He's only 2 letters away from essentially being named "Gay Sex".

To be honest, the show lost most of its integrity with Junie Browning. I agree, it's a shameless ratings grab, but that doesn't mean it won't make for good TV. I'm just wondering what kind of deal they worked out with Kimbo, as I can't see him going from 500k for his last fight to 5k or go home on TUF. I think all this has to do with Dana talking out of his ass when Kimbo was in EliteXC, trying to bury their top draw. Now he's following through on it to not make himself a liar, but regardless of what happens on TUF, I'm sure Kimbo will be on the UFC roster, and having prominent fights on c

“Kimbo Slice” will be among the 16 heavyweight fighters to join the 10th season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” according to Yahoo Sports. The Spike TV reality series starts shooting this week in Las Vegas. It would be sooooo awesome if they brought Seth Petruzelli back and made them fight to get in the house.

He fails at being a ref in general. But from reading results, it appears he butchered the Nover/Bradley fight. From Sherdog..Kyle Bradley grasped his first Octagon victory in three outings with a controversial first-round TKO against debutante Phillipe Nover in their lightweight bout. Bradley shrugged off Nover’s first takedown attempt, then connected on “The Ultimate Fighter 8” runner-up with a stinging right hand. Reaching for a single leg, Nover slipped forward onto his face. Referee Yves Lavigne stepped in and halted the bout, but backed away when a cognizant Nover rolled onto his back.

The other thing is, he just seems to get it. People called him boring, and he heard it and said "**** it, I'm going to start decimating people then", and then does it. People freak out that he can't speak english and say won't be able to draw, and he busts his ass to learn it and delivers one of the best post-fight interviews in recent memory. I completely agree about the not adapting quote. I can't think of anyone right now, but maybe someone like Jon Jones after he gets a few more wins under his belt. Just a freakish athlete with really strong wrestling and a graet clinch might be his k

The more I think about it, the line on this fight might provide the best value for any UFC fight in quite some time (maybe since Rampage/Liddell 2?). Rampage is insanely popular and there's going to be a ton of money on him, which should skew the lines. I'm pretty sure Machida is going to knock him out within 3 rounds. The only way I see it going any other way is if Rampage lands one of his lunging hooks while Machida is backing straight out...but nobody seems to be able to make him pay for doing that so it's not likely.

Rampage is going to be a good test to see how dominant he's going to be. Honestly, if he makes it through Rampage, I think it's going to be quite a while before we see someone take him out. He's not going to drop a GSP-like fluke loss, and a majority of the LHW contenders are strikers that are going to get picked apart by him. So, assuming he beats Rampage, which is far from a given, but I think he's favored...I'd put the over/under at 6.5. The scary thing is that I can only see that number going up as time goes on.

GG LHW division.

I think they're also available to watch instantly on netflix...used to be anyway. First 2 are definitely must-see...the third is still funny, but not as good.

Kevin Smith on Jon Peters... pretty funny.I've seen interviews with him, and he seems like a coked out douchebag.

I took it as a tongue-in-cheek slam against America's Best Dance Crew or whatever that show Randy Jackson produces on MTV. I might be wrong, though.

I've done a really poor job at keeping up with the discussion in this thread. Anyway, seems nearly everyone is favoring Machida, and I guess I agree. Rashad has started very slow his past couple fights, even though he came back and won them. Forrest was basically picking him apart, and I see the Machida fight going a lot like the first couple rounds of that fight. The only difference will be that Machida has much more power in his hands than Forrest does, and his accuracy is better as well. Both fighters have had this stigma of not finishing fights in the past, but I don't see how that ap

Hatton fan as well, but Pac is going to kill him. Watching them on 24/7 and seeing how much faster Pac is, I think it's going to be TKO 7.
