And Barnett even got revenge for his UFC loss to Pedro Rizzo! The scary thing about how he won was that he KOed Rizzo with a left hook (I think...), just like Rizzo did to him back in the day in UFC! ;D Sobral won his match, as did lil' Nog... Life is good in MMA.  PS: I almost SHAT myself when I read how fast Fedor dispatched The Stainiak (the video was equally awesome!)! |

PS: I almost SHAT myself when I read how fast Fedor dispatched The Stainiak (the video was equally awesome!)! I was shocked, honestly. I had Fedor picked to win but this...this was just beyond expectations. I don't remember ever seeing someone run over an opponent like that except maybe Vitor against Tank (that was after Tank trash-talked him). Fedor just CUT THROUGH HIM like a sword. It took me a few minutes to register the level of dominance I had witnessed. Somehow Fedor found a way to surprise me |

youtube.com/watch?v=UIOoVOKv5ZUasking Josh Barnett who kicks harder... It's pretty great. -and seriously, Maurice Smith is THE kickboxer of the past 30 years (at least) why isn't there MONUMENTS to him. I think it's great the he's a trainer for Barnett....

We all miss PRIDE, BUT.. BUT... Affliction was fucking rad last night. On top of that, DREAM.5 is tonight and should be almost as good. AOKI VS. UNO~! HELLBOY~!
BTW.. KID Yamamoto is off of said show not due to a knee injury but most likely testing positive for pot and them covering it up due to how big of a star he is.
Oh, and if anybody wants to know why Aleks was denied a license, uhhh, something really bad, bloodborn disease-wise.

Yeah, DREAM's cards have been shaping up nicely. Hansen/Uno was fucking incredible, and I've seen Hansen end a lot of fights that way (i.e. flying nkee). I still want to see Kawajiri/Hansen happen again, too! Oh, and if anybody wants to know why Aleks was denied a license, uhhh, something really bad, bloodborn disease-wise. Did you hear what it was? Hep B or C or something, or WORSE?!?! |

Yeah sorry, it is OUT~ now, it was Hep B. I wasn't allowed to say as it came from Meltzer who is already pissed off at me, and I kinda need him to HYPE~ my site, so trying to get back on his good side.

What'd you do to piss off Meltz? Say bad things about Benoit's parenting? Make an Eddie Guerrero behind the wheel joke?

We would do this daily roundtable thing on my site, and Herb would be all about posting it to give us exposure on WO.com (now the F4/WO site). So, this was around the time of the UFC and their BIG ANNOUNCEMENT~~~ hype, so it comes out that it is Lorenzo helping out managing the promotion, and Herb went off on some giant tirade about how this is huge news for UFC, how it'll change MMA forever and all of this other hyperbole. We basically said that Meltzer is out of touch with what fans actually care about, and how him saying most fans weren't "smart" enough to understand why this is a big deal was completely crass and ridiculous. It isn't a big deal because the way shows are booked won't change, fighter's pay won't change, the refusal work work with big networks and compromise won't change, and the attempt to destroy or buy out any competition won't change. Well, Herb sent us this really nasty e-  l saying that we misunderstood him and don't get DA BIZ like he does, and that was that. He is starting to come around again, but sheesh. |

Oh, Herb is fucking NUTS.
The big thing about Herb is, he is clearly the best MMA journalist around, but he is also the worst. He has the connections, the historical background, has seen just about every show ever and has some good insight here and there... But then comes the fact that he is fucking NUTS. While there is a pro wrestling history to MMA in Japan, Meltzer thinks that means MMA = Pro Wrestling. He'll be on Yahoo! Sports talking about Tito Ortiz being a Stone Cold Steve Austin-like babyface against the evil Dana White and shit like that. It is just embarrassing and retarded.

Hmm, I'm not a big Slamcock fan, but I almost hope he picks up win in this one, but I bet Ken will try to stand with Mr. Furguson and end up looking like Tank did earlier this year. Whatever, it's going to be free. |

It is just embarrassing and retarded. agreed. hearing them talk about how a fight was won with a this or that guys own 'finisher' and then making like it's some sort of angle... -and this being about Crocop, who I'm sure would have thrown up in his mouth at the mere suggestion of mma being ANYTHING akin to fake fighting.... |
