He actually retired because he felt the sport was filled with more and more fighters looking just to hurt people than to be respectful and engage in sport combat. He was absolutely right. Standing OIt's funny you post this now, I just saw one of Evan Tanner's last interviews, and he was talking about how fighters in MMA have really lost the meaning of what it is to be a martial artist. It was interesting because he was training with a bunch of Brazilian guys and loved the fact that they still have so much respect for fighting, the martial way in general, OTHER FIGHTERS, and are not consumed with cash purses, being on TV, promotional deals, personal gain, and shit like that. How is helping up a competitor after leveling him disrespectful? Spitting on him (Jeremy Horn) or flipping him off (Tito Ortiz) is disrespectful. Shitting all over a guy's name because he won't play by your monopoly's rules and calling him a bitch because he'll make less money competing in another promotion (Dana White) is disrespectful. I'm glad Genki Sudo bailed out, the dude is a class act, an amazing fighter, and a great entertainer. I hope Anderson Silva follows suit as soon as his contract is up, he's too good for those slimy ufc bitches.

Shogun got ROBBED! If some greasy Vegas Mafioso didn't win a shitload of cake off of that judging travesty, I'm not sure what the fuck happened...
Wow. UFC is CORRUPT!

yeah, I know. I just watched the n event on Justin TV, I didn't really give a shit about the rest of the show (although I would have liked to have seen the Anthony Johnson fight). Machida spent most of the fight evading like he usually does, and Shogun was really patient, not over-committing and leaving himself open for Machida's counter attacking style. That said, Shogun DEFINITELY dished out more punishment than Machida, and pushed the pace of the fight. Neither guy really went full tilt in the mostly defensive fight, but to say Machida's performance was worthy of the win, and by UNANIMOUS DECISION, was WEAK! I did catch the last couple of minutes of the Velasquez/Rothwell fight, too, and it was stopped WAAAAY to early. Shit's WEAK, yo! If this move doesn't break Shogun's spirit once and for all, I'll be surprised. Seeing shit like that makes me think that Dana White really wants to take away any thunder that big name fighters from PRIDE might have left with pre-TUF fans, kind of like what McMahon did with guys from ECW and WCW, by shattering the mystique and discounting the credibility of the old group, Shogun really got slapped in the face last night. I wonder which TUF fighter they have in mind to take the title away from Machida with? (-_-)' If I'd have actually paid for that PPV, I would have been demanding my money back.

It could be something that's degenerative, or genetic, like Crohn's Disease. Who knows?

Fight Network was saying that he's got some nasty bacterial intestinal infection. Wow, mono and that at the same time, good times! Yikes.

I caught the Kimbo Slice Houston Alexander tilt on Spike last night, I loved the Dr. Death tribute spot by Slice, and the Kawada no-sell by Alexander!!! ;D
PS: Houston Alexander was robbed in that fight! Surprise, surprise, another TUF guy winning matches in decision...
PPS: To his credit, Furgeson looked pretty fucking good in that fight! Lean, and pretty solid on the ground! He might just come around after all!
