I decided to go, but the bad news is that I picked up a girlfriend since this post so $90 later I'll be seeing Ryan Adams and the Cardinals... damn. At least the shows without Oasis have long varied setlists.

Not generally but this is honestly one of the dumbest diets I've ever even heard about. It doesn't even make sense scientifically. It seems to just essentially be a placebo effect.

1/4. Halfway done with the way down and still the whole way back up yet to go.

Tito on what happened with Rampage.

Two fucking months? Shit!

Didn't get just recently get reinjured? He was supposed to fight Matt Hammil a few months ago but Boestch had to step in and subsequently ruin the dream of a Boestch led future.

They put Donger on the main card because his entrance music is the techno remix of "Heaven." Well, I think it was probably the best choice of the undercard bouts.

MMAJunkie said Karo was nowhere near fighting shape. And LOL at Rashad wearing the Bill Gates mugshot pic on his t-shirt at the weigh-in. He looked in great shape. Talk about random though.

No one probably has the balls except some jobber.

I think in an effort to prove that he's truly beaten his depression - Paulo Filho should wear the most magnificent cutoff flannel he can find. I'm talking the type that would make a honest to god lumber jack say, "Wow, what an excellent flannel. That man truly has his head on straight."

Bill Simmons has his first column published on ESPN.com all summer (he took it off to write his 2nd book)...and he managed to sneak in this fantastic jab at ESPN.

On MMALive yesterday Dana pretty much came right out and said that if Chuck wins tomorrow then he's fighting Forrest for the title on the New Year's show. I don't think that's shocking news, but it's out there now. They have three monster PPVs lined up in a row if Rashad doesn't ruin Dana's plans. November and January should both already easily top 1,000,000 buys and maybe Chuck going for the title again could contend for that, as well.

http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/video?id=3566944 Already a 3 plus minute live segment on Sportscenter with both Brock and Randy... maybe more then I think I've ever seen them do for MMA.

All that's icing on the cake...especially if it ends up Manhoef/Jacare.

They absolutely need to do 24/7 for the big fights. Are you kidding me? Those type of shows make people on the fence want to buy. I'm not even a boxing fan AT ALL and I wanted to buy Hatton/Mayweather after watching two of the 24/7 shows when I was bored one afternoon. They should be doing a 24/7 type deal at least 3-4 times a year for the big big fights.

Here's where they have a small problem. Randy - 3 fight deal: Brock, Fedor/Nog, Nog/? (depending on Fedor) Brock - 2 fights left on his mammoth deal that makes him one of the highest paid fighters in the UFC. That's the reason you're getting Brock thrown in with Randy so quickly... time to earn that 250-450k per fight. I'm probably the biggest Lesnar supporter on this board but I still think Randy can beat him at this stage in the game. But WHAT IF Brock actually comes in with a real gameplan that is something a bit more sophisticated then use your strength and lay on him with hammerfists for 3 rounds? I mean, he totally COULD beat Randy... and then that ruins a lot of things. Not necessarily for the UFC because Brock going for the belt will get them a ton of buys, but it certainly ruins the entire Randy/Fedor landscape, that's for sure.

Randy is officially back in the UFC for 3 more fights. Press conference at 3 PM today. http://fiveouncesofpain.com/2008/09/02/rep...official-today/

Countdown this Wednesday at 11 PM.

Welcome to the land of being a mod without having all the real mod powers. It's a great place to be and I , for one, am thrilled to be here.

Kimbo better win because if he loses to a broken down Ken Shamrock who got embarrassed by Buzz Berry, of all people, then the dream is over.

I have limited Muay Thai experience and I have been meaning to start BJJ for a long time now. Ken Kronenberg, a gracie black-belt, is literally less than 10 minutes away from my house. I need to stop being so lazy.

That was a very well timed strike.

This sounds like an impending disaster.

A good answer is just about everyone. This place hasn't changed, more or less, since 2002.
