Hahahahahaha... ::Breathe::Katie::Breathe::

Wow... Hendo was quite the looker!  He obviously didn't have a girlfriend at the time of this photo (or he had a blind girlfriend at the time of this photo) because there is no way a woman would have let him out of the house looking like this.

Fighters Say the Darndest Things: Goldberg Edition

This week I am paying homage to our wonderful Goldie.  I love listening to his commentary, so I thought I would bring you some of my favs:

“He wants to get in close to use that reach advantage.”

*Um no, that would elimiate his reach advantage.  But I appreciate the effort.

"There is no doubt that Blackburn and Sadollah have gone the distance"

*Mind you, this gem came right after the closing bell in the third round.  Way to play it safe.

"If Jardine's last name were Johnson, the nickname Dean of Mean would make no sense."

*hahahaha... please do go on...

It definately looks like Chuck has become happier over the years. 
I think these photos alone are proof that money fits somewhere in the equation to happiness...

"Dana White is an egomaniac Uncle Fester looking knucklehead"

Way to ensure you will never fight in the UFC again...

Fighters Say the Darndest Things: Tito and Chuck

I have always thought Chuck has a round midsection and little chicken legs,

I just never had the balls to tell him!!

(or the social connections for that matter)

Rogan: "When are you guys gonna fight again?"

Ortiz: "I think we'll wait until you lose that belly"

Said to Chuck

Chuck: "That belly is permanent"

Fighters Say the Darndest Things: GSP

"I was not impressed with your performance"

TO MATT HUGHES

The fact that he said this to Matt Hughes makes it all the more wonderful!!  You tell him GSP!!

Awww... New Baby Carwin...

Yesterday Shane Carwin sent the following out to his fan community:

"It still is a little shocking but today is the day Alexis Carwin arrives. Lani is overdue but still at the mail store mailing a signed Tee that I gave away:). Later today we will be induced and then our family becomes a little bigger.



As a father of one kid, I know how these events can change us forever. My wife is a wonderful woman and has been an amazing friend and parental influence on my Son Kam I am certain that she will be a great parent to Lexi. We are truly blessed by this situation and appreciate you guys, our friends, family and fans.


I may be a little MIA over the next few days helping get everyone situated. Please send Lani your best thoughts and wishes and we will post pics as soon as we can.


Thanks for all of your support.


-Shane"

I always think it's fun to see pictures of Baldos before they lost their hair...

He has never been very intimidating, has he?  Well maybe a little in that top picture...

Yeah Yeah Dude Looks Like a Laaaady: BJ Penn

From Bald to Long Flowing Locks I give you:

Barbara Jean (BJ) "The Shopping Prodigy" Penn

It's too bad BJ didn't have a twin Sister, she would have been attractive... FOR A DRAG QUEEN!!!

hahahaha... fun fun fun.

Wes, the phone is for you... it's your WAKE UP CALL

Yoinked from MMA Spot

Okay, so this one made me actually laugh out loud.  This stinkin Wes Sims vs Tim Sylvia got the red light from the Ohio State Athletic commission...

"The commission felt the fight was not going to be competitive at this time after comparing [Sims' and Sylvia's] records and the opponents both fighters had faced. And even though it was 2004, Sylvia previously stopped Sims at 1:36 of the first round."

(Watch Kalib Run)

hahaha... Yeah, you're non competative with a doof who got knocked out by an over the hill boxer in NINE SECONDS.  Well one thing is for sure, we should thank the Ohio Athletic Commission for sparing us this miserable excuse of a fight.

So Wes, I have some advice.  Call up Jenny Craig and maybe after a year of sticking with the program you will be able to be competative with the Muffin Top Extrordinaire!!

I wish you well you silly silly boy!

Fighters Say the Darndest Things: Forrest Griffin

"I was a bit worried about my inflamed vagina coming into this fight."

Yeah Forrest, it's a common concern among male fighters these days.
