Opposing sides claiming that people used energies and magnets to influence and distract players and they have even dismantled the chairs the players sat in to try to find the magnets they were sure were hidden in there. Russians are some superstitious people it seems.

yeah, Kasparov was famous for making claims like that. to be fair though, fisher did a lot of the same things...i think chess players are just superstitious, fedor's camp is just delusional.

Officially hyped.

WAR SHOGUN

Ortiz out and Mr. Wonderful in for the Lil Nog fight, looks like Minotoro is gonna be getting a 2nd loss in a row. Hopefully Davis gets some mainstream hype after this fight.

**Xno Kappa** · 2011-02-20 13:20

Tito Ortiz has to be one of the most injury prone fighters out there.

**dudeguy** · 2011-02-20 14:25

At least he pulled out of the fight this time instead of magically announcing after the loss that he had lost half his brain due to infection or whatever outlandish claim he would have gone with.

***Blarg*** · 2011-02-23 17:48

for reference

**tyven** · 2011-02-24 20:03

too bad he is going to get out-pointed to death

**Rhyis.** · 2011-02-24 23:48

Jorge raises a valid point.

**Hitoshura** · 2011-02-25 15:51

Anyone excited for Penn vs Fitch? I realy hope BJ puts this clown out, I love the jokes.

***Blarg*** · 2011-02-25 16:08

sadly, you will be disappointed

**tyven** · 2011-02-25 16:13

I DONT THINK HE WILL BE DISAPPOINTED. i feel like fitch can do none of the things that give BJ problems. He can lay on him but his GnP is a joke. I think BJ will be able to keep it standing

**Hitoshura** · 2011-02-25 16:35

Listen, there is no doubt he is an awesome fighter, very tough, and very hard to beat. That said, he clears a room out faster than a fart on Mexican food night. So, what are some potential nicknames for Jon Fitch? Here are a few me and my friends came up with:

Jon "Lunesta" Fitch
Jon "Ambien" Fitch
Jon "The 15 Minute Man" Fitch
Jon "Buzzkill" Fitch

Your suggestions/flames below.

"beer run"

Because that's what i do during his fights.

stagnant blanket

Jon "The Decision" Fitch

Smoke Break

Can't stop fucking laughing.

If Fitch takes Penn down in the first minute of the fight, I'm not even going to watch the rest of the fight.
