Super Fast Knockout Video Extravaganza!
April 4, 2008
In honor of Wednesday nights RECORD TYING speed KO of Houston Alexander by James Irvin at Ultimate Fight Night, I’ve tried my bestest to assemble a collection of super-turbo-action knockouts for all of our viewing pleasure.
Its also a pseudo response to our BFF Ben at CagePotato.com’s friggin sweet Gnarliest Head Kicks KO Collection he posted.
Please note that theres a balls-load of crappy videos out there so I may have missed a few along the way…if you have one…add it in the comments. Then together, we can make this the greatest collection of super speedy uber knockouts ever assembled.
Lets get started. Read more
Georges St. Pierre is Pure Awesome.
April 2, 2008
In my other job, I pretend to be a radio host. During this pretending, I sometimes get the opportunity to meet and interview some kick ass individuals.
One such individual happens to be UFC Welterweight Georges St. Pierre…and being the mixed martial arts nerdy fanboy that I am, I obviously get all giddy at the opportunity to sit down with one of these guys.
If you don’t have GSP in your MMA top three pound for pound list, you are a total freaking putz.
Here’s a quick 10 minute interview I did with him, so sit back, relax and listen to it or he will hit as hard as he can on you! Read more
UFC Event Names – The Truth!
March 26, 2008
According to such reliable sources as Dana White, the UFC has a tough time selecting names for UFC events…I beg to differ.
See, it’s not like a crapload of thought goes into these things…the next event is called “UFC 83 – Serra vs St-Pierre 2″…I mean that’s not rocket science is it? Now I have to give credit where credit is due: UFC 2 – No Way Out made sense, and even though it was named after a Costner movie…it fit.
Then that got me thinking…don’t all of these sound a bit like movies? Like bad action movies? Upon further investigation…I discovered that the UFC has been STEALING THEIR SHOW NAMES FROM MOVIES ALL ALONG!
Let’s go through a list of these so-called hard to find names and unearth the plagiaristic truth behind the names of UFC events…It’s shocking how many action classic lend their names to UFC promotions.
(…and you will find NO LESS than THREE Wesley Snipes Movies on the list.) Read more
Anderson Silva Loses…Sometimes
March 24, 2008
If Anderson Silva is not in your MMA pound for pound top two, you’re an imbecile. He has been so dominant in his weight class in the UFC, there’s simply nobody left for him to fight. I’ve seen him nonchalantly backside elbow uppercut dudes into the third row, submit the unsubmittable, and do it all with a smile and a handshake.
But as ridiculously dominant as he can be, Anderson Silva has actually lost a couple of fights. In his first ever professional Mixed Martial Arts fight at a Brazilian Vale Tudo event in 2000, he gave up a decision to a mediocre young fighter by the name of Luiz Azeredo. After that, he racked off 9 straight, before suffering his first serious loss, via first round triangle choke to Daiju Takase at PRIDE 26.
Check it:
I call it his only ever “serious” loss because you can’t blame a guy for losing his first ever fight, and because the only other blemishes on the guys record are from a flying super ninja heel hook, and from knocking the living crap out of a dude and losing on a technicality.
The heel hook came from Ryo Chonan, who I could safely say was doing a great job of blocking Silva’s punches with his face, and tried a desperation move, and somehow managed to lock it in:

Hong Man Choi – WTF?
January 23, 2008
Apart from looking like a troglodyte Muppet, Korean MMA Fighter and overactive pituitary gland poster-child Hong Man Choi is also a pretty famous pop singer in his homeland of Korea.
He’s had a couple of fights, and most of us in North America will never hear about him ever again, but I believe this illustrates how Asian people go nuts for weird ass music and people.
Other than that, it’s kind of lame.
