Yeah, perception is reality, for the most part, in regards to MMA and the public at large. MMA seems more dangerous than boxing because of things like striking on the ground, knees, stomps, elbows, etc. despite the reality being MMA has less deaths than most mainstream sports, as well as serious injuries. The cage looks more dangerous than a ring. It's gritty, and there is never a positive connotation with cages. But, the cage -for those who watch the UFC- is probably more of a selling point. The UFC has used a cage for so long, I can't see them moving away from it.

His attempts at shots were horrible, so I don't think it was stupidity that had him not going for takedowns more, it was more his inability to perform one. I enjoyed the fight, it wasn't amazing or anything, but it was fun in the pretty moving colours kinda way and I thought Tait won it pretty easily.

The only thing gayer than the man-sex in OZ is you having The OC and Dawsons Creek on your list.

I watched Doerkson/Kang from a UCC show today and GOSH DARN that was a fucking DOPE fight.

I think Joe takes it with "I never fight to the best of my abilities"

If 50 million people voted, a 0.6% point that I believe Taylor had over the two others is still like hundreds of thousands of votes.

They *did* finish last *twice*, though. Not that I am complaining cause I was like "GO GO GO HIPPIES GO!" at the end there.

So, um, is there, like, more?

HIPSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The band-aid on the finger was hilarious.

Ray and Yolanda meet the YAKUZA!

IT'S SWAN TIME! I was captain of my swan boating team.

"LET'S GET IT ON!" Ok, Jeremy is a UFC fan. I cheer for them now, unless the hippies turn out to be PRIDE fans.

"Those damn hippies and their language-knowin." That, and Jeremy with his quick talk speech, makes it very difficult to not cheer for them.

"This is like some naughty fantasy." "GAIJIN!" Like STAN HANSEN. I want to go to Tokyo. Either in or not in game show format.

"Script" is a loose term. It seemed Funk had talking points that he'd hammer home again and again and again. The plus was that they completely manipulated the audience and had them reacting a lil bit differently than they regularly do.

"So you blew it?" "...Technically..."

Yes, even though they kinda butched what they were going for at times and didn't make a wholelottasense, I would still take that over what the writers force on us.

So House is going to bang Cuddy, right?

Doerkson/Leben.

It's great that DB Sweeney is in this. House is getting the Cutting Edge.

It would probably mean cutting down on the sauce, so I doubt Sak would want to move down to 170.

Taylor wouldn't need to do a full set going all crazy, just the first song, a middle song, and the end and maybe an encore. In between would be soft songs and ballads. A must would be a black back up singer to help go nuts like the rolling stones have on Gimme Shelter. Plus, cocaine is a helluva drug...

The end was typical indulgent Taylor, which doesn't really matter because he's been doing it all competition and it doesn't hurt him at all, but goddamn that was a good performance.

It's so fucking funny to see Taylor in this competition. The dude is a vet, he's so fucking calm, he just doesn't care. I don't know if it's because he knows he's in the finals, or because he knows even if he loses he's going to make millions touring, or if he's just been doing it so long that the nerves aren't there, but he's making the others seem like nervous in regards to disposition.
