Strong words from Spike TV after a repeat of UFC 84 outdrew EliteXC in 18-49 males (goodnight, sweet prince to EliteXC!) Also, SI is reporting that Rampage was hearing voices and thought he was a god when he went on his little bender. That's not good.

My bad. I got confused with Colossus... these mistakes happen when I spend 10 seconds on it.

There's not a professional MMA fighter alive who's stopping Brock's shot. I'd call that aspect of the Mir fight and his game in general outstanding.

Yahoo did the same thing w/ Penn/Sherk. They showed a clip of BJ eating healthy and talking about his training regimen from the Stevenson fight. It's definitely the same exact clip because I highly doubt BJ says "That's the stuff" everytime he eats yogurt. Yahoo is guilty of recycling clips because that is 100% from the Mir fight.

Ha. How are you doing, Dave?

Has this ever been talked about around here? My god. Ask for a retake?

The one knock on Hanley is that he kind of fades under pressure. His numbers w/ RISP are not very good and he just handled that at-bat very poorly.

That's the clip from All Access for the Mir fight but the point stands... I'd die after that workout and I'm in relatively good shape.

Keith Hernandez just said it best..."The Uggla giveth and the Uggla taketh away."

Hypothetical situation here... of course, but if you had a 2B on your team who is capable of hitting 40 HRs every year, but he strikes out a lot and fields like a little leaguer... would you want him on your favorite team?

Shoulder tightness... doesn't sound good, at the very least. And holy shit, Denard Span is in the major leagues now? I remember hearing about him years ago...but never thought he'd make it.

Holy shit... this is in two days. I just realized that five seconds ago. We need a thread for this and we welcome our casual MMA fans like Marvinisalunatic and Black Lushus. Here's the card... MAIN CARD (CBS) Champ Robbie Lawler vs. Scott Smith (for EliteXC middleweight title) Jake Shields vs. Nick Thompson (for EliteXC welterweight title) Thomas Denny vs. Nick Diaz Shayna Baszler vs. Cristiane Cyborg Jeremy Freitag vs. Anthony Ruiz (swing bout) MAIN CARD (SHOWTIME) Justin Eilers vs. Antonio Silva (for EliteXC heavyweight title) Brian Caraway vs. Wilson Reis Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante vs. Travis Galbraith I don't have showtime so I'm going to have to hunt down a stream for that because I want to see Silva and Feijao fight. Feijao could make some serious waves at 205. As for the main card...well, Nick Diaz had better look impressive. He's looked like shit his past few times out and he's fighting a journeyman at best. He really can't afford a bad performance here. The title fights are what they are. Shields should beat Thompson but he's no joke. He's given Eddie Alvarez his only professional loss and he's not a bad fighter. I also think that with a better gameplan Lawler should easily dispatch Smith.

Barn Cat... holla. WATCH OUT LUKE CUMMO YOU HEALTH-FREAK FUCK! IT'S OVER FOR YOU BUDDY!

She's just been rushed to the hospital so this thread may be close to reaching its gruesome conclusion.

His point is noted, though. BJ has said in multiple interviews that he didn't start training/giving a shit until the Pulver fight. The fact is... GSP has the best "MMA wrestling" out there right now; he can seemingly take down whoever he wants at will. BJ's takedown defense is off the charts and if he actually goes through a real training camp working on it above what it is now, then it's going to be like the unstoppable force and the immovable object. I can't see him shutting GSP out... I just can't. Doesn't matter how good his defense is on that date. Georges is taking him down IF he keeps going for the takedown and that's the focus of his gameplan. But, maybe he'll change his gameplan if BJ can stuff a takedown or two. I can't remember GSP ever outright just getting his shot stuffed... I don't know how he'll respond to that. I don't really think anyone should be throwing around superlatives or definitive statements because if you really think about the fight... you could make an intelligent argument either way, which really means no one is wrong enough to slam the other viewpoint.

Anderson Silva? 0%.

There is some talk of the next set of DREAM Grand Prix events including a featherweight grand prix. I know it will never happen but it would be completely awesome if Dana let Urijah compete. Either way, at least there will be one quality American to root for in Benevides. Now that I saw him win in convincing fashion I'm definitely looking forward to his matchup with Kid Yamamoto that should have happened last weekend.

I forget if this was ever brought up... is this girl hot? Is she the crazy hot girl that you have sex with but hate yourself each time... because she's pretty fucking hot and the sex is wild but she just miiiiight kill you? Or is she just fat, ugly, and crazy (ie Yuna Firerose)?

Yes, that and the baby. The future is bright.

Oh this is JN News? FUCK THAT.

I know this probably just sounds like me being Milky, but Nighthawk says that this actually intrigues me even more. That is honestly still risky, though. I may download it first. What exactly was so bad about it? It was just a bunch of one-liners that could have been written by any ten year old. Stereotypical rich douchebag foil - check. Wife who secretly hates him and falls for protaganist - check. It was just not funny. That's all I can say. Although I did get greatly amused at one point because this guy decided it was a good idea to bring his 10 year old (or so) daughter to a Will Ferrel R rated comedy...they promptly left when testicles came out.

Well, I didn't go home. I made the snap judgment to forsake the last 40 minutes or so and catch The Dark Knight in full for a second time. I think I made the right decision because I honestly did not laugh once the entire movie.

I don't understand you guys. It was awful. I walked out when he was showing his singing talent and John C. Rielly proclaimed it the voice of angel. That was enough for me. I was out of there.
