    Comments which don't warrant a thread.

    So... what does everyone think about Courtney Love claiming that Ryan Adams stole $858k from her to make Rock'N'Roll? I find it hilarious and I'm not sure if I believe it... although I definitely think it's plausible. All I know is that it wouldn't take me 4 years to figure out that someone stole nearly a million dollars from me. http://stereogum.com/archives/wheres-the-b...p;utm_medium=mc I actually like Rock'N'Roll. Much better than Love Is Hell which came out at just about the same exact time.

    FUUUUUCK I forgot. I just randomly clicked on five ounces of pain without thinking and there it was... spoiler of all fucking spoilers and a shock and a half. FUCK ME. So angry right with myself right now.

    UFN - Silva vs. Irvin

    Before he comes back in here and curses you out... I'm assuming you meant Wanderlei so that would be Silva.
  4. The very last thing I purchased was 16 electrical outlet covers, 8 lightswitch covers and a set of 5 silver drawer handles. Being a homeowner makes you boring. I used to want to claw my eyes out every time I had to go to the Home Depot for something or other... now I find myself wandering the aisles going "oooh." It's a bit unsettling.

    Affliction - Banned: Fedor vs. Sylvia

    Can't wait to see fighter pay. I think Timmay was around 700k w/ Fedor at LEAST double that.

    Pictures I Like

    Yeah when there's construction on the highway it's much easier to wait in the line for 35 minutes then to zoom to the front and merge in about 5 minutes.

    UFN - Silva vs. Irvin

    Did anyone notice that in his debut they pronounced his name like Ca-Een and last night it was back to Cain (which is what I thought it was all along)? Anyone, I'm sure Curry loved seeing JOB getting Salaverry'd to death. The newest issue of FIGHT! magazine (with Rampage on the cover and the headline: UNSTOPPABLE - Rampage's plan to stay on the top LOL) has a profile on AKA and they just gush about Velasquez with guys like Kos and Fitch talking about how much of a beast he is. Affliction has the big guns in the HW division right now but really with Cain, Carwin and Brock the UFC HW division is going to be so solid from 2009-2012, at least. As for Vera, he looked like shit, yes... But there's precedent and Joe gave a really good example last night in Rich Franklin looking like shit in his 185 debut against Jorge Rivera and then after he got used to the cut = total domination. Not only was it Brandon's first cut but he took the fight on a month's notice. Not everyone is going to look as sharp as Michael Bisping did when they are making their first cut. Oh, and I'm also a little outraged how all the main websites are just glossing over the assraping that Rumble Johnson got last night. There needs to be an outcry and an overturned decision. Fuck Kevin Burns and his "palm strikes"/eye pokes.

    If he keeps fighting like he did last night then he could beat Fedor. The boxing and Muay Thai were so sharp. I want to see Andrei get the shot but I can see why they'd go with Barnett. I don't know. I hope the show did well so they can stick around longer than three cards. Replace Jay Glazer and the promotion is money.

    MMA Comments that Don't Warrant a Thread

    Personally I think Tyson Griffin needs to suck it up, drop to 145 and give us the fight the WEC can promote like no other. The first fight with Urijah was pretty damn good, IIRC it was pretty even until Tyson caught him. The rematch needs to happen. I also think Tyson should just be at 145 in general. That probably won't happen until he loses a few in a row, though.

    Looks like you got a lot of really good images. Very cool.

    UFN - Silva vs. Irvin

    Well with Okami injured it would appear that Anderson's next fight will be against Patrick Cote. That's not even a fun fight. Cote has no chance.

    Affliction - Banned: Fedor vs. Sylvia

    Really, though, that knee Ben Rothwell took at the end of the second round might have put me in the hospital for a month. Dude is tough. I think it just speaks to how unreal Andrei looked tonight. If Randy can't get out of his contract in time to make Fedor's next scheduled USA fight then it needs to be The Pitbull.

    UFN - Silva vs. Irvin

    Has to be overturned. He was dominated and he was warned about 5 times before winning with an eye poke that damn near scraped gray matter. It was total bullshit. Not bad at all for a free show. James Irvin honestly never had any business being in the cage with Anderson Silva. What do you guys think Cung Le and Forrest Griffin were talking about sitting next to each other all night? They're probably so similar.

    Affliction - Banned: Fedor vs. Sylvia

    Here's the problem. Fedor already said he's planning on fighting again in the US in October and on the NYE card in Japan. I'm not sure Randy will be legally able to fight by then, at least for the US card and I doubt they want to run that fight in Japan. I don't know... I guess we'll see. But Fedor's hands are so fast. It's almost not even realistic.

    36 seconds. lol. So much for lack of top competition. Bring on Arlovski. Any positive mention of Big Timmay by KOAB from now until August will result in a trip to the gulag for 48 hours.

    Affliction - Banned: Fedor vs. Sylvia

    Oh my god, Arlovski looked absolutely incredible. And Rothwell is a beast, my God. That flurry at the end of the 2nd round might have killed some people and he didn't go down. Arlovski/Fedor assuming Big Timmay loses. Has to be.

    2008: The Year in Music

    I'm pretty sure Arctic Monkeys aren't in the same washed up category as CYHSY... their 2nd CD was pretty highly praised and sold quite well I think. But CYHSY kinda fell off the face of the earth. I put Vampire Weekend more in the latter group, personally. How much afro-pop can we all handle?

    Affliction - Banned: Fedor vs. Sylvia

    This is the main story on ESPN.com which is something I can't ever remember seeing for the UFC. Anyway, wish I could have seen Martin/Belfort but they just replayed a clip of the KO so I'm happy. The graphics and videos are superb here. I like how they list the camp in the tale of the tape. The ramp/setup is pretty cool too but it would be better without the drum kit still there. The big negative: Jay Glazer.

    Michael Cera as The Riddler, am I right, guys? I can't really think of anyone either.

    Yeah. 2 AM live Sunday night/Monday morning and tape delay 10 PM Monday (maybe 11)

    Affliction - Banned: Fedor vs. Sylvia

    My local FSN isn't carrying the undercard. Boo. Because I live in NY I only get one FSN because I get both the damn Mets and Yankees TV networks. Oh well. Still 7 hours of MMA tonight if I have it in me to watch both back to back. Bas and Kenny are actually going to be in Japan, I think...instead of just calling it from a studio in LA. Inside MMA next week is being taped in Japan as well.

    Japanese MMA Thread

    It's been easy to overlook with all of the MMA tonight but DREAM 5 is in two days. Kid Yamamoto is off the card but Overeem vs. Mark Hunt has just been added so that's a plus.

    UFN - Silva vs. Irvin

    I see a difference in the pictures. Look at the muscles at 205. Pecs are much bigger, shoulders and arms more defined. It's subtle but also pretty obvious, I think at least. This is coming from someone who charts all of his workouts and keeps excel spreadsheets of his daily weight for the past few years so maybe my perspective is off.

    The Dark Knight

    I guess I have nothing to add that hasn't been said by just about everyone else... This was my favorite movie in years and I'm not really a big comic book fan.

    Thanks to Silva vs. Irvin this PPV is now 4 hours. Thanks, Dana!
