KJ Noons officially said he won't fight Nick Diaz. Pussy. Wagnney Fabiano is now in the WEC... nice.

Yeah, Curry is like a different person when it comes to BJ/GSP. It's like a viper just coiled to strike.

Well, all former champions are worthy of a shot, provided they aren't injured or over-the-hill. The only thing questionable, really, is the timing. But strike while the iron is hot.

Sylvia as well, but that was ages ago.

Well that's certainly not good news for them.

It's not indicative of the album as a whole.

This new Bloc Party is fantastic. I love it.

I loved it. I was laughing so hard at all the smallest things like when Downey kicked in the door backwards when they invaded the village... so unnecessary and hilarious. "I want to bite its hide... I need to wear it's stomach as a unitard." "Can I tell you that I'm sorry?" Just little shit like that. And Downey Jr. was just fantastic.

In news that came out of nowhere, Bloc Party apparently decided to say, "Hey surprise, our 3rd album is out digitally in 3 days." 8/21. Hopefully it's more Silent Alarm-ish.

Hey, guys, I think he's talking about all of us.

Ed Herman is a white trash scumbag. I love how after TUF he took the time to congratulate his mom and some random dude for "making it official"... she's probably made it "official" with three other guys from the trailer park since then. Matt Hughes and Sherk are guys I also don't like. There are others I'm sure but I can't think of them right now. Oh and no more talk of dead babies.

Had to start this thread early, I felt like because it's just gone from total shit to totally awesome. Main event: UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre (16-2) vs. Jon Fitch (17-2) Under card: 265 lbs.: Brock Lesnar (1-1) vs. Heath Herring (28-13)* 155 lbs.: Kenny Florian (9-3) vs. Roger Huerta (20-1-1) 185 lbs: Demian Maia (7-0) vs. Jason MacDonald (20-9)* 230 lbs.: Cheick Kongo (11-4-1) vs. Dan Evensen (10-2)* 170 lbs.: Luke Cummo (6-5) vs. Tamdan McCrory (8-1) * 155 lbs.: Frank Edgar (8-1) vs. TBA * One question: If Jake O'Brien completely dominated Herring, how is he going to stop Brock from taking him down and pummeling him? This card is a B.J. Penn fight away from featuring all of my top 5 favorite fighters probably.

Starvenger knows it's all love. I was wondering what the hell was in BJ's hand there... that answers that.

Well, it's highly possible that his daughter's first words will be something she's heard her mother say many, many times before, amirite?

The injury is a good point. I mean, without that factor I don't really see how Rashad can hang with Chuck but who knows if he's at 100%. Then again it's always tough when a really established star is fighting someone up and coming. No one gives the up and coming guy a chance, most of the time, but this is how people make their name. I still heavily favor Chuck.

Follow up to this... there's nothing on this album as good as "Unless It's Kicks" but I think it's a better album overall.

Tong, understandable that you might not want to rock the banner, but do you want to be involved in the sig bet?

The only real problem I had with BJ during the Sherk fight was the apology. Any disrespect, including the blood licking is fine to me because Sherk is a punk. He cheated while as a champion and then whined for months that he didn't deserve to lose the belt. I like it when fighters show each other class and respect after the fight but that's not always warranted. Sometimes you just don't like a person. So - I repeat. The only problem I had with BJ was apologizing afterwards. Oh, and also putting up a video a month or so ago of him and Sherk hanging out. Fuck that.

I'm really stoked for this card. Silva/Machida is just a great fight. Silva is a perfect fighter for Machida's style, at least I think. The fact that this fight is on free TV is just thrilling to me. And Bisping vs. Leben is no main event, sure, but it's definitely a fight I want to see. It's Bisping's first real test at 185 and if he looks as impressive as he did in his first two fights then that's something to get excited about. Those two fights alone and I'm hooked but Jardine/Vera is huge and awesome as well, both guys really need to win or in Vera's case really need to look good winning. I'd pay for this card.

Well, he promised the blood thing before the fight... I guess he thought he had to deliver? I don't know. As for the choke, well I got nothing.

There's a big difference between BJ's dickishness and Matt Hughes. Matt Hughes is trying to humiliate people and be BMOC...that's the kind of stuff I can't stand. BJ is just a sarcastic wiseass and since that rings true to me a bit I seem to enjoy it. I have nothing legit bad to say about GSP... he's obviously one of, if not the, classiest fighters in all of MMA but I just find myself liking Penn better.

This could turn out to be very interesting.

Well, I already got the photoshop I need thanks to Steviekick so let's make this all about CG.

Hey, Would anyone be willing to donate 10 minutes of their time (or so) for something I want to do in the MMA folder? It should be pretty simple but I don't even own photoshop. If you think you might be able to help me out... please PM me. And if it weren't obvious enough your only reward is the satisfaction of a job well done.

The torrent is out for the new Okkervil River, "The Stand Ins"... I'm only through a few songs but I'm really liking what I hear so far.
