I watched some snooze fests when I started watching MMA (Royce/Shamrock,Severn/Shamrock), but it didn't scare me away because I knew when it was good, it was really good.

Forrest is really pretty fuckin' good. When you can say your only losses were to Jeremy Horn and Dan Severn and you have wins over reputable fighters such as Braga, Monson, and Sonnen you're pretty damn good.

Exactly. Everyone is all like well Leben should have won, it should have been a draw. Both of them deserved to lose. That was what was good about draws. Neither one finished the other, so neither deserves to win or lose. With today's breed of fighters I think matches should go the distance, if a winner isn't determined in that time than a 5 minute overtime round commences. That should be enough motivation for someone to attempt to finish the fight: Either you finish him in the overtime round or you get a draw. Pretty simple. I've heard enough bitching about judging in my years of watching MMA that I've just gotten entirely sick of it.

Leben had four chances to win the fight and didn't do shit in standup except for land a pretty good knee and was inactive on the ground except for a kimura attempt and a weak omoplata. He deserved to lose.

Hey Nate Dogg was always pretty funny, I don't think he was supposed to be a great singer. I especially like his work on "Ain't No Fun."

Deep, deep like the mind of Minolta, now picture this! Let's picnic inside a morgue, Not pic-a-nic baskets, pic-a-nic caskets, And I got the machine, that cracks your fuckin chest plates, open and release them guts, Then I release def cuts I also liked Tha Dogg Pound's album. RBX was the shit.

There were some decent squashes and one of the closest Pride matches I have ever seen. Still, there was nothing on there that will make top ten lists at the end of the year. SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought the main event sucked. Once Coleman realized he couldn't take Mirko down he just gave up. Rampage/Ninja was so fuckin' close it could have gone either way. Igor looked great, very fast and crisp. Ditto Shogun. Werdum/Erikson was pretty unspectacular. Leko sucked as usual. Sperry impressed me and shut all the haters up. Damn I should have put money on him!

I think even this is too extreme for SpiderPoet.

Which again begs the question: Why would anybody want to go to this place?

I think the question is why would ANYone want to go to this school. I know some hardcore Christians, but even they wouldn't touch this school with a ten foot pole. As for the Nazi/Communist argument, well let's just say it's totalitarian school run by an evil Christian dictator.

He has to finish out his contract before he goes back to K-1. Honestly, he'd have a better chance against Cro Cop than most people, considering Leko's striking is top-notch; although striking in K-1 and striking in MMA are two entirely different things.

Banning shit, oppressing certain freedoms, requiring total dedication to the cause, sounds pretty Nazi to me. This gives Christianity, no wait, all relgions, a bad name.

I have a couple friends who go to Erskine Theological Seminary in South Carolina, it doesn't seem to be that bad, pretty much like a normal college except you have to go to church stuff.

Like anybody who would go to this school would have a gun. Anybody read the part under "Dress Code" where they talk about Abercrombie and Fitch's "wickedness?"

Pride 16 is the shit, too.

I failed my driver's test the first time I took it because when he told me to do a three-point road turn I just pulled into someone's driveway and turned around instead.

So bad Speaking of bad covers, who does that horrible "Brick in the Wall" cover that plays on all the modern rock stations?

Just rip the shit open dude. I remember they had Howie Long as Venom/Eddie Brock one time, I thought that was a pretty decent choice.

I'll be disconnected for the same reason Jaxl, but then it reconnects and everything is fine again... Until it disconnects again 45 minutes later. Too bad, everyone is on AIM, otherwise I might switch to a different messanger service.

Thank God, UNC beat UCONN so they at least have a notable road win on their resume.

I'm interested in seeing who Chonan will fight next in Pride. Not really getting my hopes up though, I expect he'll fight some lower level fighers until they throw him in against another top 10 fighter. I expect maybe Schembri or someone like that, maybe?

Well, Sylvia is categorized as a "super-heavyweight" (+265) on their website. I don't know how you can have Barnett at #2, considering he's had no big wins in almost three years. 5 or 6 is good enough for him. It's tough to rate guys like Mir and Sylvia, because while their records are solid, they really haven't gotten that big win over a proven HW to put them over the top, with the possible exception of Ricco/Sylvia, which is getting closer and closer to fluke territory.

I assume you're talking about MMA? Well, mmaranks.com usually has the best rankings (IMO) so here they are: MW: 1. Evan Tanner 2. B.J. Penn (fought last fight at MW) 3. Matt Lindland 4. Rich Franklin 5. David Terrell 6. Ricardo Almeida 7. Joseph Riggs 8. Anderson Silva 9. Rodrigo Gracie 10. Joey Villasenor LHW: 1. Wanderlei Silva 2. Randy Couture 3. Chuck Liddell 4. Quinton Jackson 5. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira 6. Dan Henderson 7. Renato Sobral 8. Ricardo Arona 9. Tito Ortiz 10. Vitor Belfort HW: 1. Fedor Emelianenko 2. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira 3. Mirko Filipovic 4. Andrei Arlovski 5. Josh Barnett 6. Sergei Kharitonov 7. Frank Mir 8. Heath Herring 9. Aleksander Emelianenko 10. Travis Wiuff

One time someone asked me to pee in a cup for them so they could sneak it in and use it as their urine sample so they could pass their drug test for their probation officer. I, uh, didn't do it. And damn if that isn't the worst run-on sentence ever I just typed.
