    You're finally up to date now you awful man. I hope you are going to watch 106 this evening!

    Then again I'm not really looking forward to it. The only fight I really wanted to see was Karo's comeback and now they've booted him out of the UFC. Griffin vs Ortiz, ugh. Don't really like either of them, but Ortiz is an asshat so I hope Forrest smashes him and then gets tooled by someone else. Hopefully Thiago Silva will lose to Rashad and then we can have Griffin vs Silva

    Wait, what? This evening? 105 was like a week ago!

    Also, Karo was kicked out? Why?

    And Griffin vs. Ortiz seems to be yet another bout of the "formers." At least these two are younger and potentially bit more exciting to watch, though Griffin never really impressed me.

    Well apparently he decided to pull out of the fight yesterday and Dana got pissed and booted him out. It probably was because Karo has his whole being addicted to painkillers :bou::bou::bou::bou: going on and didn't want to take the drug test, but it still sucks. Dana should be trying to help the guy out rather than just casting him out.

    also yeah but 105 wasn't a PPV in the US was it? I think they aired it free on Spike or something like that.

    I have no idea since I just download them some day afterward to watch at my leisure. So I won't be watching 106 this evening, and instead sometime next week.

    So I just watched 106, and I don't know wtf Ortiz was thinking in the 3rd round. He was coming off a round he clearly won and literally just stood there for 2+ minutes as Griffin pounded on him. I think Ortiz threw two light punches that whiffed. And only two weak takedown attempts the whole round?

    I thought Ortiz won the first round as well (narrowly), giving him the win anyway, but he deserved to lose it after that abysmal finish.

    UFC bothers me. Bothers me so smurfing very very much. Not only does it solidify me in my opinions of masculinity and testosterone being evil evil things, but the kind of people who watch it annoy me (no offense, loves). Something just pisses me off when I'm stuck in a whole room of straight guys going "oooooooooooh" and cheering and being all rowdy and punching eachothers arms and talking about how "hardcore" all this is. I'm sorry, but I fail to see how people fail to see the inherent homo-eroticism in all this:







    Remove 'dem shorts and you've got porn. Don't deny it either. I've seen porn that is actually exactly like UFC (fighting/punching/blood and all) but without shorts.

    Even when the blood starts pouring, all I can think is "this is prettttttty smurfin' gay." I've learned not to bring this up around UFC fans, though, lest I face the wrath of the insecure het man who thinks he's as tough as those fellers. And by wrath I mean a lot of posturing and bragging.

    So wait... you're criticizing MMA for being "gay" and MMA fans for being "insecure." I don't think that word means what you think it means. Wouldn't we be more insecure if we refused to even give it a try just because we were worried about how it appears?

    Also, it's a sport. It requires a load of skill and it is entertaining to watch for those that can appreciate the level of skill required. Why do you care so much about what other people enjoy doing (professional fighters) or watching (fans)? I hope you're exaggerating, for your sake.

    I'm not saying every MMA fan is insecure, I'm referring to the ones who get angry and defensive when I call it out for being soooooooo uber gay.

    And I do appreciate the skill involved - I couldn't do it; I wouldn't do it. Hey, I even like watching it sometimes. Still. So. Gay.

    I only watch MMA because I am secretly a homosexual, but I don't want anyone to see me watching gay porn. This way I can just say "YEAH EXTREME WOO!" and hi-five my brosephs while getting stealthily turned on.

    I liked the early UFC when it addressed the age old question of, "Who would win if a karate guy and a jujitsu guy got in a fight?" where karate and jujitsu can be any two styles. I don't like it now. Now everyone is the same. They've evolved not to be better fighters, but to be better UFC'ers. I suppose it's only natural. Everyone is a hybrid striker and grappler. I like variety. Eating an apple, a banana, a grape, and then eating an orange doesn't get old. Eating four identical fruit salads does. I wish mixed martial arts referred to the matchups, and not the style of the combattants.
    Knock yourselves down.

    I think that was... a celebration move. Apparently he's jealous of GSP having the only gimmick (even if he doesn't fully land the backflip most of the time).

    I want to see him do that in the octagon after a match and accidentally knock someone out with his flailing feet.
