FORCE CHOKE! FORCE CHOKE!!!

Signed up for the fauntasy game. I hate picks. I call Silva by gnp rd 2.

I don't even like Baseball, but damn if I don't say "Fuck, Baseball is great, ain't it?"

I watched Field of Dreams yesterday. It has to be in my top 10.

Now all we need is Rory from Gilmore Girls to jump in and start a pillowfight.

Would YOU want to be in the division with Anderson Silva as champ?

http://www.dailymotion.com/spbrasil/video/..._talvs-kh_sport Thiago Alves vs. Hironaka. Soooo leg kicky. Click on the user to find oodles of acronymed fights.

Watched most of The Di Vinci Code. An awful movie, that.

I think we might need two threads for this season: one pro-blonde, one anti-blonde. I don't think I can post with people who are so outstandingly off in their assessment of Camerons hair colour.

Yeah, I was looking at this card and despite a shite main event, it's still dopestar. Karo Parysian vs Hector Lombard Frank Edgar vs Spencer Fisher David Terrell vs Ed Herman Joe Lauzon vs Jason Reinhardt Tamdan McCrory vs Akihiro Gono Ryo Chonan vs Thiago Alves GOOOO.

That's a weird main event. They gotta have something else, right?

As long as you are aware of it, I don't have any problems with the placement. If you think Lyoto can beat most of the guys in the division, then it's where he should stand. It's more of a "wait and see, it will pan out in his favour" kind of deal... pre-emptive ranking, if you will. I've been known to do that, too. I'd probably still have Shogun as number one, but will have to see how he rebounds off of the Griffin loss.

But, but, but... Lyoto. Rashad. Lambert and Bonnar are good wins, but they are just that, "good". And, well, Lyoto has a list full of "names" but nobody near top ten status. At LHW at least. Not that I agree or disagree with their placements, it's just those are more hype than actual wins over top talent.

i was disgusted by that (wrestling? what the fuck is that?) reference. personally.

Studies have shown that 95% of Houses audience are, in fact, physicists. The other 5%? People who make up random, smart-ass, statistics.

Perhaps a Claire that is toe-centric. With shoe fetishes and a knack for hitting herself on furniture.

Watch the Prestige? Boo to anyone hating on Blonde Cameron (or Camronde as she now will be affectionately known as), bitch looks hotter than ever. This was probably one of my favourite all-time House episodes. Tremendous stuff. Who ended up making the final cut? Also, the twist with the old man was fanfuckingtastic. OLD MAN~! Kal Penn. KAL PENN~!

"Why does he keep saying his own name?"

Given the size, I'd say that's a good bet.

LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT (205-185) fr shrdg 1. Quinton Jackson (Pictures) (28-6-0) "Rampage" has worked past the troubles that haunted him after a tough series of fights in PRIDE, the last of which saw him go down in defeat to "Shogun" Rua. The exciting and flamboyant UFC light heavyweight put himself on the map by blasting out Chuck Liddell (Pictures) in less than two minutes. He followed that with a hard-fought victory over Dan Henderson (Pictures) on Sept. 8. With an injured hand, Jackson likely won't fight until next spring. "Rampage" takes the No. 1 spot with Rua's loss. 2. Dan Henderson (Pictures) (22-6-0) Undersized for the division, Dan Henderson (Pictures) is not a known name amongst many casual MMA fans. A scrappy former Olympic wrestler who's worked hard to integrate a dangerous striking game, punctuated by one of the best right hands in the sport, Henderson has continually defied the odds against heavier opposition. His 25-minute war against Jackson is indicative of how tough the 37-year-old Henderson can be. Henderson slides up two spots. 3. Wanderlei Silva (Pictures) (31-7-1, 1 NC) The Brazilian mauler enjoyed one of the best stretches of any fighter in the history of MMA from 2000 through 2004, including two brutal stoppages over current UFC champion Quinton Jackson (Pictures). Known for an aggressive fighting style and a penchant for KOs, Silva reigned as the 205-pound PRIDE champion until February of this year, when Dan Henderson (Pictures) dominated the fight in Las Vegas to win by knockout. Silva will likely make his UFC debut sometime before the end of the year. Silva benefits from the losses of Shogun and Liddell to move to No. 3. 4. Keith Jardine (Pictures) (13-3-1) Proof that a good game plan and a quality fight camp can get you far in MMA, Keith Jardine (Pictures) enjoyed the benefits of both on Sept. 22 in out-pointing former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell (Pictures). Like Liddell, "The Dean of Mean" was returning to the ring for the first time since suffering a brutal knockout loss. But Jardine showed no ill effects in winning. He goes from unranked to No. 4 on the strength of the Liddell decision and a destruction of Forrest Griffin (Pictures) at the end of last year. 5. Forrest Griffin (Pictures) (15-4-0) Tough. To be so is an important trait for a fighter, but alone it's usually not enough to find someone ranked amongst the elite. Griffin has taken his toughness and added to it over the years. That hard work, done recently in Randy Couture (Pictures)'s gym in Las Vegas, paid huge dividends on Sept. 22 when the unranked "The Ultimate Fighter 1" winner submitted Mauricio Rua (Pictures), who topped most rating lists at 205 pounds. Though Griffin has had his ups and downs -- a brutal KO loss to Jardine and a controversial decision loss to Tito Ortiz (Pictures) -- he jumps into the fifth spot based on the effort against Shogun. 6. Mauricio Rua (Pictures) (16-3-0) Rua had nothing for the previously unranked Griffin in their Sept. 22 UFC fight. Following the choke-out loss, Rua falls from No. 1 to 6. The Brazilian earned his reputation by winning in Japan, where he demolished current UFC champion Quinton Jackson (Pictures) and captured the prestigious PRIDE Middleweight Grand Prix. With his exciting fighting style and world-class skill, the Chute Boxe fighter was poised to become a star in the United States. At just 25 years of age, he can rebound from the Griffin defeat, but it will take excellent performances for him to find the top spot any time soon. 7. Chuck Liddell (Pictures) (20-5) Liddell saw his stretch as the baddest light heavyweight in the UFC come to an end when Quinton Jackson (Pictures) won early in the first round of their May bout. Most expected him to bounce back strong against Keith Jardine (Pictures), but "The Iceman" failed to answer a game plan that saw his opponent move his head and stay out of range. Two losses in a row apparently have Liddell contemplating retirement, though big fights still loom for the star UFC fighter if he wants them. Liddell falls from 3 to 7. 8. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou (Pictures) (4-1-0) Africa's top mixed martial artist exploded upon the world stage in 2007 with early knockouts of top-10 light heavyweights Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (Pictures) and Ricardo Arona (Pictures). The accomplished judoka has relied on his hands, but he's also paid the price for slugging it out, suffering a stoppage loss last October to Glover Teixeira (Pictures), a training partner of Chuck Liddell (Pictures). Inactivity and a flurry of action in the top five push Sokoudjou down from 6 to 8. 9. Ricardo Arona (Pictures) (13-5-0) A dominant grappler, Arona amassed an impressive record with just two defeats (Fedor Emelianenko (Pictures) in 2000 and Quinton Jackson (Pictures) in 2004) before becoming the first light heavyweight in five years to defeat Wanderlei Silva (Pictures). However, three losses (Silva, Shogun and Sokoudjou) have come in his last four fights, with the only win a stoppage over Alistair Overeem (Pictures). Arona is a tough match-up for anyone in the division. He drops from 7 to 9 in the latest ranking. 10. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (Pictures) (12-3-0) "Minotoro" has just three fights in three years, and is 1-2 during that span, but a record that features wins against the likes of Guy Mezger (Pictures), Kazuhiro Nakamura (Pictures), Kazushi Sakuraba (Pictures), Alistair Overeem (Pictures) and Dan Henderson (Pictures) means Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (Pictures)'s twin brother is pretty good. His loss in the PRIDE 205-pound Grand Prix to Mauricio Rua (Pictures) was perhaps the fight of the year. In February, Sokoudjou stunningly knocked out Nogueira. After concentrating on boxing and representing Brazil in the Pan-American Games, Nogueira will return to MMA in Canada's Hardcore Fighting Championship later this year. Note: Rashad Evans (Pictures) (9) and Jason Lambert (Pictures) (10) fall out of the top 10 with the inclusion of Jardine and Griffin.

I dunno. This show is awesome, though. So many freak out moments. HRG twisting douchies finger; Kenzei being british-level dick; The torn-up photograph and all the intrigue that goes along with it; Molly being tortured from the Shadow realm; Parkman and Suresh and HRG working together; The mighty beard of Nate; PETER MOTHERFUCKING PETRELLI showing up and guarandamnteed made evil. Sucks that Sulu had to be offed without offering a goddamn hint. Fuck I want to know NOW. Fuck theez guyz. Linderman being counted as one of the dudes being lit is odd given how it was Black dude who did it.

It's weird because they changed the date to the day-after (Sunday), so when they changed it back and called off Bocek/Holanda I thought was more in regards to travel schedules than anything. It doesn't seem like Frank Marques is competing either, which sucks cause I wanted to see him go. I think there's something like half a dozen fights now, the main event being a gi match featuring Andrew McInnis. Dammit, why couldn't it have been no gi?! Oh well, still looking forward to it. Also, I noticed that Misha (who YPOV pimped) is an instructor over at Kombat Fitness.

Ever since going to OSWI 4, I've been waiting for another Super Card of Single, No Gi, Bouts to come along; as that last OSWI was freakin awesome to watch and hooked me on the So-On grap scene. Tournaments are fun for a while, but they are exhausting to watch and I have yet to get through a full day of em, whereas these Super Cards feature just one match going on and you actually know who is fighting who rather than half-a-dozen matches going on at once, in different weights and experience divisions and whatnot and in different rounds and all the confusion that tournaments bring. In other words, it's a lot more fun. If you live in the GTA, you gotta check it out. Oh yeah, and there's a lil something called BOCEK VS HOLANDA. How often do you get to see two black belts compete in Canada? Last year Holanda beat Rob "Spider" Di Cenzo, a Nova Uniao guy like Bocek, by Kimura after being dominated for the majority of the match. Can Bocek avenge Nova Unioas loss, or will Holanda squeak out another win? So, so-far, the card is shaping up as so... "The Canadian Submission Expo", (via The UG.) Saturday, September 29, 2007. Martingrove Collegiate 50 Winterton Drive. Toronto, Ontario. Doors Open 6 PM This event will take place after the Bravado Open BJJ Tournament simular to last year. a film crew will be in to tape the show and submit to the fightnetwork. Any Martial Arts clubs or supply stores wanting to advertise during the taping can contact me by the email above. the card to Date: Main Event : Mark Bocek (Team Bocek/Nova Uniao) VS Fabio Holanda ( BTT Canada) No-gi. Donald Park (RGDA/OHIO,USA) VS Patricio Canales (BTT Canada) GI Marco Costa (Franco/Behring) VS J.W. Wright(RGDA/St.Louis,MO) No-gi Frank Marques (Team Bocek/Kombat Arts) VS Wade Shanley (Ronin MMA/BTT Canada) Anthony Romita (RGDA Canada) VS Matt Page (Therien JJ) The Blue Absolute Final and the Pur/Brn/Blk Absolute Finals will also be on the card.10 to 12 matches in all,waiting until after UFC 74 and the Mundials to name the other matches in mind. More info to come...................

• The submission grappling superfight between Mark Bocek and Fabio Holanda scheduled for next Saturday night at the Submission Expo at Martingrove Collegiate has been cancelled due to Holanda’s inability to make the 155-pound weight, according to Bocek’s management. Bocek and Holanda are widely considered Canada’s best Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitors. No other date has been discussed for a make-up bout. --tfn

It's a toss-up, really, which is a better power to have.
