Well I've wanted a tattoo for the longest time but was always puzzled as to what I would get. I hate, hate, hate colored tats because they almost always look white trash to me. Ever since Roger's been adding on to his tattoo it's just been getting better and better and I finally found one that I would be comfortable having. In conclusion - yes, I am gay for Huerta.

Chris Leben will never be a champion in the UFC. Ever. I'm sorry but he was getting his friggin' clock cleaned by TERRY MARTIN before catching him with a lucky shot to win the fight. I'll give Leben credit for having a chin that appears to be made of solid steel but he doesn't have the skill set to be a champ. Dude puts on entertaining mid-card brawls and that's awesome. But that's about his ceiling. I didn't explain why I don't think Koscheck can beat GSP because other people have already done it for me in this very thread. Do you want me to rewrite what they wrote word for word? Obviously Chuck WON'T drop down. I even said that in my post, but a complete lack of reading comprehension skills will get you to that conclusion. Does Chuck even cut for fights? I can't imagine he does because he always has a belly. And we were talking about dream catch-weight matches. Chuck could get to 185 for a mega-fight. Or at least 195 if they want to meet half way.

Odd request but does anyone have a very up-close high(ish) quality picture of Roger Huerta's tattoo? Google image search is getting back some good ones but I'm looking for a view from head on. I'm thinking of getting the chest and tricep piece with a small bit of the back piece and I'd like a really clear image. EDIT: Nevermind. Found very good pictures on his MySpace.

Notes from the press conference: Randy has been offered a fight with Minotauro. Dana said that he (Randy) owes it to him (Nog) just like Tim Sylvia owed it to Randy last year. Okami broke his hand against Tanner. Seems like Okami is next, but not specifically stated. Dana also talked about Silva fighting Rampage and said that he needs to "keep B.J. Penn in check because B.J. wants to fight all the way up to heavyweight." Dana followed that up by saying he doesn't think B.J. should fight anywhere above welterweight. Dana said he thinks Silva has "cleaned out the divison." Dana strongly hinted at Fitch officially being the #1 contender. Arlovski and Koscheck are now officially free agents. Dana also called the XC deal a "stupid TV deal" and that MMA isn't hot... UFC is. Oh, Dana.

I rewatched the Leben fight this morning. Sakara was catching him HARD with bombs. If you just listen to the sound you definitely hear the thuds of Sakara's fist hitting square on Leben's face. Multiple times. And Joe and Goldberg were oblivious. At one point Sakara hit Leben square with a combo. Every punch catching Leben square in the face and they were talking about how Leben caught him. It was all Sakara! Now, the point I'm trying to make is that he was a fucking moron last night. Just wading in there and hoping to connect with a big shot. He ate ALOT of punches in the process. He won the fight, yeah, but contender he ain't. And probably never will be. Chris Leben has his place in the UFC and that's as an entertaining brawler in the middle of a card. Never anything more. As for Koscheck - he looked ok, but I had no idea he was 30 already! He would also look pretty badass if he shaved his head, but he probaby considers his fried hair his trademark or whatever and would never go for it. Saying he can beat GSP is a bit absurd. Yeah - he can beat him. Any top 15-20 guy can beat anyone if everything works out perfectly for them, but if you put GSP and Koscheck in the cage 50 times... Georges would win at LEAST 47 of those fights. Anderson Silva should fight Chuck Liddell. Seriously. Are you trying to tell me that Chuck can't cut that friggin' beer belly and get down to 185? He probably would never do it in a million years. But when I think of top LHWs that can easily fight 185 he's the first name I think of. I bet they run Wandy at Silva sometime next year, though.

I'm sorry but the Rhonda Rwanda album cover was classic. Also, Sudeikis was great in the "Boleyn Girls" sketch despite the fact that it was a terrible sketch.

No - Ben is great. I say it all the time. The thing with Ben, though, is that Michael Emerson is such a fantastic actor that so much of Ben's greatness is derived from how Emerson delivers the little moments. He's just outstanding every moment he's on screen. He's probably my second favorite behind Locke. All you Locke doubters are sleeping on his greatness. All of the best non flash-forward episodes have been Locke based. Futhermore, do you think we've seen the last of his awesomeness? I have to believe that Locke is going to be the most important character from here til' the end of the series. We're not going to be seeing any Locke flash-forwards because I have no doubt that he's still on the island kicking ass and taking names until season six when everyone returns to the island. He's the the power of the island at his fingertips. He just hasn't harnessed it yet, which is why Ben can get to him all the time.

I'm a big Will Ferrell fan. I've enjoyed every movie he's been in. I even liked "Kicking and Screaming". With that said, this movie sucked. Despite all the bad reviews and negative comments in this thread I figured I would still enjoy it. Man, was I wrong. The most it got out of me was a chuckle and that was maybe 5 times at most. I wasn't bored out of my mind or anything but it just wasn't funny.

I agree that Kos looked good last night. And he's improving a ton. But he's still not improving at as rapid a rate as GSP AND GSP is much, much younger than Kos. Sure, Josh can beat GSP but only maybe 1/10 fights.

It seems like the message would never be that. More along the lines of "I just swallowed a bottle of pills. I hope you're all happy now. Try saving me if you want but I barricaded all the doors."

Yeah - this show sucked. So did last night. Although I'd be lying if I said I didn't laugh my BUTT off at Rhonda Rwanda.

Flawless. What a performance. Almost knocked him out and then he choked him out. Motherfucking unstoppable.

Kongo was looking damn good but he gave the fight away in the last 2 and 1/2 minutes.

The guy on the cell phone in Herring's corner looking at himself on the big screen is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen.

Yeah - with that statement Okami's got the next MW title shot.

Holy Fuck! They gave Lesnar Mark Coleman. How exactly can Coleman beat Lesnar? But wow - Brock gets to club the first heavyweight champ and a hall of famer to death. That's one way to rebound him.

The IFL show last night mostly bored me to tears. There could have been a few good fights mixed in, but I fell asleep about half way through. I did catch Scherner get knocked out by the fat dude that's the heavyweight champ. My recording of the Xtreme Couture smoker cutout half way through Kim's fight but she was getting her BUTT kicked.

Eh - I pay for it every year. I think I get my money's worth but I'm not sure. I read so much stuff on there that I sorta lose track of what's Insider and what's not. I mean, during baseball season I read Buster Olney's links every morning and there are always some good Gammons, Neyer articles... as well as in-depth season profile and such. You also get ESPN the magazine but most weeks it goes right in the trash.

My alma mater, Cornell, is set to be the first team to clinch an NCAA tournament bid. They are up 3 games with 3 to play so it's all but locked up. My other alma mater, UNC, is getting housed today. They're down 14 at half time to BC on the strength of Tyrese Rice's 34 first half points. Yikes. I just turned in so I missed a show it seems.

I've never had a problem with Bob Barron. The only problem I have with the lazy fucker right now is the lack of a SNL review from last week.

Potential last episode spoiler that is only speculation... read at your own risk but not a real spoiler.

In what planet? I don't even think that's in my top 10. My number one is probably Jack telling Shannon that Boone was dead when she was walking up the beach with Sayid. Either that or Charlie's death. Those two are easily ahead of everything - for me. I like Desmond as a character - he's one of my favorites with one of the best backstories, but let's not blaspheme and put him ahead of the majesty that is John Locke. Locke has been the best character since day one and nothing has ever changed. The only time he was slightly less than perfect was when he was Jack's bitch in the hatch but that's excusable because it lead up to Locke becoming the leader.

I don't think anyone can help you because I believe this is the first PPV for the online stream. And I'm with Curry... I like Dan and all but he has to lose.

I think so. 1) His memory is terrible despite the fact that he's a professor at Oxford. That's why Charlotte keeps testing him. 2) He cried when Oceanic Flight 815 and had no idea why. That was probably his future self crying or something along those lines.

There was some light talk of Faber vs. Pulver actually being a PPV bout but Dana said at the Bud Light press conference that it's going to be on free TV this summer. Brock will be on the August PPV. I think it's good to give him as much time as necessary between bouts.
