I'm not going to go into one of my rage rants right now because I am sure and I truly hope at least we can all agree Kimbo fucking sucks, and is nothing more than a backstreet prison brawler when if he is ever getting his ass kicked on the youtube vids, his "boys" stop the fight and restart it. The guy's a marketing whale but a serious joke. Stick a fork in this fuckin guy already and let him go back to bodyguarding pornstars and fighting typical compton trash for 500 bucks a pop...

You talk like "true" MMA fighters drink their tea with their pinkies up. There are plenty of fighters with questionable backgrounds.

Remember, Kimbo is not your enemy. Your enemy is "in me."

I gotta be honest... while the dude is fine by me, the two parts I had trouble not laughing at were Kimbo being all introspective, and Rampage grasping to find an analogy for Roy Nelson's gut. "Like trying to hold up the... the... moon or something."

The bigger the show gets, the more people you'll see like Wes and Big Country in it. They realize that this is a golden opportunity to get them in front of millions of people that they wouldn't have a chance of otherwise. You are going to see a lot more "established" fighters come through TUF now. There is an article on BloodyElbow about Hendo being a little upset that Vitor is getting a shot before him since he beat Vitor in '06 pretty easily. I had honestly forgotten about that fight and had to go back and re-watch it. He makes a good point, but I still wanna see him fight Nate and the winner get Anderson.

The kimbo bringing a gun to training is bs and basically made up the last part, him getting armbarred and being angry was true.

Roy has a few interviews stating his strategy for fighting in the house and that is to just get a win and don't do anything that could get you injured. That's the reason he only threw a jab on the feet and no right hand and just little shots on the ground because he didn't want to injure his hands which he has broken in the past.

He's fucking black what do you expect. My money is he was armbarred by a white guy, and he just couldn't handle it. Crybaby race.

Actually his reasoning for why the story isn't true, and this is the truth here. 'I bring my gun with me wherever I go so why would I need to go home to get my gun first?' Not the exact words but it's pretty lol. This whole thing wouldn't just be coming out now since it was supposed to have happened over a year ago I think.

Looks like Big Nog is getting the winner of Brock and Carwin. Glad to see that fight made, although I don't think Brock will wanna fight again as soon as they're talking about (early 2010). He has stated before that he doesn't want to be training and fighting all year. The Couture vlog showed him talking to Randy backstage and Brock was talking about going from one camp to the next and wanting some time off.

"I wanted to fight Thiago Silva because after he beat Jardine, I saw him in the back room and he shook my hand but he gave me a look like "You next; You could get it too". And I was highly offended. I didn't like him looking at me like that." - Rashad Evans

Rashad is such a prick...I just cannot find a way to like him at all. That quote is from Inside MMA's latest show.

***Blarg*** · 2009-10-03 17:58

From the sounds of the quote I'd say that is mostly made up to drum up a bit of rivalry.

I dunno, Rashad talks shit about everyone. Getting old. Dana is going to resume his Vlog's, starting with UFC 104. He did an interview talking about Fedor v Rogers saying he hopes Fedor wins 'cause he wants him in the UFC. He says he thinks Fedor is overrated and might get KO'd by Brett.

^Both stories from Bloodyelbow.

Glad to see the vlogs back...I kinda enjoyed the backstage stuff. I am going to be at the Fedor v Rogers show, hopefully it will be a good show besides the main event. I haven't seen Fedor fight live and am looking forward to it.

I can't find the blogs thing on bloodyelbow but that is good news, most of the fighters don't have the personality to carry their own blogs.

How is Bob Sapp still around lol. Those silly Japanese.

I am more concerned with Sakuraba...scares the shit out of me that he is still fighting. He is about 2 concussions away from a coma.
