Lord of The Curry

That cut he got against Fickett was one of the nastier ones I've seen. Not Eastman/Belfort bad but pretty rough.

Hey now, he lit up Josh Burkman like a candle. Gotta love him for that.

BJ trapping one arm = Curry shitting himself.

Penn has never pulled off a sub from his back. I'd be shocked if he started now.

Still, if Serra did it Penn can too.

Shut the fuck up. That.....takedown....was....worked.

Then I guess none of the Hawaiian's do either. My point is that Lindland is a fucking tool because he always sides with the American fighter. He'd pick Justin McCully over Fedor due to Yankee bias.

Anderson Silva vs Thales Leites Shogun Rua vs Chuck Liddell David Loiseau vs Ed Herman Marc Bocek vs David Bielkheden Tamdan McCrory vs TBA (Goulet out) Krystof Sozysnki vs Brian Stann Luiz Cane vs Steve Cantwell TJ GRANT vs Ryo Chonan Jason MacDonald vs Nate Quarry Sam Stout vs Matt Wiman Xavier Foupa-Pokam vs Denis Kang Nice to see Professor X make it to the big leagues. Should be a fun addition provided he doesn't face any grapplers. BTW, Foupa-Pokam via Kang dominating for 13 minutes and fucking up in righteous fashion.

Hey now, it's just a rumor. Reserve the "Fuck Karo"s for if the dude actually pulls out. Which, seeing as how the weigh-ins are in 6 hours would be anytime now if it's going down.

I have it as a ringtone on my cell.

I think Penn can TKO GSP but I'm not 100% sold on it. He took hard shots from Penn in the first and wasn't even wobbled and while Penn's boxing has improved since their fight it's not like he's all of a sudden shown one-punch KO powers in the Pulver/Joe/Sherk fights.

Why not just say "Bless you" instead?

Well this is certainly not good news if true..... Las Vegas — UFC welterweight Karo Parisyan has not competed inside the Octagon since a second round TKO loss to Thiago Alves at UFC Fight Night 13 last April. The native Armenian had been scheduled to return this past October at UFC 91 against Yoshiyuki Yoshida but the bout word spread just prior to weigh-ins that the bout had been scrapped after it was determined that Parisyan “was in no condition to fight.” Scheduled once again to return this Saturday at UFC 94 in a televised bout against South Korean fighter Dong Hyun Kim, there are now questions yet again as to whether Parisyan might be scratched. FiveOuncesOfPain.com learned earlier this week that multiple agents had been approached by the UFC in an attempt to secure a standby replacement in the event Parisyan arrived to Las Vegas in no condition to compete. On the heels of that revelation comes a report by MMAMania.com that welterweight competitor Rick Story has been enlisted to stand by for a possible fight vs. Kim in the event that Parisyan is either forced to withdraw from UFC 94 or decides to pull out. As of Thursday afternoon, FiveOuncesOfPain.com had communicated with a source close to the fight that had indicated current expectations were that Parisyan would be able to compete but that the UFC was simply looking to have some insurance in order to prepare for any last minute issues. Parisyan, 18-5, has stated on the record in past interviews that he suffers from panic attacks and that the condition has impacted his ability to prepare properly for fights. At the time of the revelation, the 26-year old had indicated that he was treating the condition with medication. If Story’s services are not utilized on Saturday, there is a good chance he could compete for the promotion during a future event. With a record of 7-2 and notable wins over Brandon Melendez, Jake Ellenberger, and Ryan Healy, Story is considered to be one of the top welterweight prospects currently not fighting in the UFC.

I remember marking out like it was nobody's business when the X-Men went to Genosha to take on Mr. Sinister and his goons.

Right on. Go tap some bitches out.

Reps to haws bah gawd for pimping the Germany Ski Trip episode. Wolverine praying at the end was some seriously deep shit to be hit with at such a young age.

No team stands out right away as one that would be immediately dominant aka no young all-male teams. But yeah, Cara and Jaime for the fucking win.

Not that this carries any kind of weight but the Sherdog Pro's Picks was the closest I've ever seen, 15-14 in favor of GSP. Of course Matt Lindland's vote shouldn't count because he freely admits it's a pro-American bias. Pardon me for a moment, I'm just going to replay Vitor housing him in my mind *Replay* Mmmmm....yeah. That's good stuff.

And look, it's Matt Lindland hosing down Cyril O'Reily!

Yeah fucking right. That takedown was worked.

Tong has made his GSP dislike known. No way that's a balanced assessment.

Anybody else think they buried the bomb inside/beneath the Swan? In season two Sayid tells Jack that there was massive amounts of concrete poured over a certain area of the hatch and followed it up with saying the only time he'd seen something get walled up this thick was Chernobyl.

Are you cutting weight for a tourney right now?

Mik- Keep this thread, it was made first plus has a link from the actual Gracie mag site. And yeah, RIP. If I live to be that old I'd wanna be as much of a badass as Helio was.

Helio Gracie, the father of Gracie jiu-jitsu, is dead at the age of 95. Gracie passed in his sleep early Thursday in Itaipaiva, Rio de Janeiro, after he had been admitted to a local hospital a few days prior for stomach problems. “He passed the way he always wanted to –- quick and fast,” said an immediate relative, who asked not to be identified. The relative said Gracie’s body would be buried on Thursday. The youngest of Cesalina and Gastao Gracie’s eight children, he learned traditional jiu-jitsu by watching his brother, Carlos, teach it, but his small frame made it difficult for him to execute the moves. As a result, he adapted techniques to fit his limited physical ability and gave rise to modern-day Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Gracie was involved in two legendary fights. He lost to Masahiko Kimura -- a man who outweighed him by some 80 pounds -- in 1955 when Carlos threw in the towel after Kimura broke Gracie’s arm with the shoulder lock that now bears his name. Four years later, Gracie fought former student Valdemar Santana for nearly four hours and won by technical knockout after Santana succumbed to exhaustion. His impact on the sport of mixed martial arts was profound. His son, Rorion, was credited with developing the concept that became the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and another of his sons, Royce, won the first two UFC tournaments in 1993 and 1994. Two other sons, Rickson and Royler, also competed in MMA. Gracie is survived by his wife Vera; his sons Rickson, Royler, Rolker, Royce, Relson, Robin and Rorion; his daughters Rerika and Ricci, as well as numerous siblings, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren. An MMA O.G has left us.
