Today's Fighters Say the Darndest Things Quote comes to us from one of the Pioneers of the sport...

Royce Gracie:
"A black belt only covers two inches of your ass. You have to cover the rest.”

Touche Mr. Gracie, Touche....

New Feature: "Say What??"

Upon my merry travels on the interweb today, I decided that captions are funny...

Well, they can be....  So I have decided to captionize some pics from MMA that tickle my pickle...
feel free to send your additions too...

Buckle your seatbelts, we're ready to go....


Someone has been rubbing their sock-clad feet on the carpeting again... I dare ya to touch the door knob ::ZAP::




Me man.  You woman.  Bedroom.  Now.




Whaaa... Where's th- puddin'?  I like chocolate puddin.

Tattoo of the Week: Jeff Monson

I am feeling quite blue today, so to cheer me up I haev searched the internet for the most random groupings of tattoos on fighters... 

It was a toss up between Monson and Yvel, but Monson won because of these pictures....







Let's play I spy...

I spy with my little eye
... a black cat in front of a full moon
... a skull and crossbones
... a Power Puff girl
... Asian inspired something or other
... a tattered flag
... a hand print
... intestine inspired gunk
... 2 stars
... tribal inspired something or other
... irony


::sigh:: I feel better now.

Future Ex- Husband ::Part Two::


::purrrr::
That is my happy noise :)

Patrick Cote shall return in Montreal against Alan Belcher on May 1st...

So, you may be asking yourself "Self, why on earth is the word Montreal bolded?"  Well, let me answer that for you...

Montreal is well within driving distance for ::this::girl::

Patrick Cote has been out since UFC 90 (October 2008) ::tear:: when he tore his meniscus in his fight against Anderson Silva.  He has since had surgery to repair the tear and hopefully has made a full recovery.



Ouch... I would have gladly tended to those wounds...
::sigh::

My main concern is that most fighters do experience some ring rust after long spells away from fighting.... Let's face it, 19 months is quite a long time!

Alan Belcher has been making quite the show as of late... that coupled with the fact that his autograph is nestled comfortably in my ::ahem:: little collection of autographs gives him somewhat of an edge...

Let's ignore the fact that the last time I gave someone points for me owning their autograph they nearly had their arm snapped in two...

So, the long and the short of it:
My future ex husband sure has his work cut out for him!!

Future Ex-Husband Alert :)




Gabe Gonzaga will fight Junior dos Santos on March 21st on Versus!!
*In my world, the article could end here, but I shall continue...*

So... who can guess who my future ex husband is?  (Let me explain, he is going to be my ex husband becuase he doesn't speak English well, I don't speak Portuguese at all.  However, for the first year I don't think that will matter ::wink::)

MMA Mania reported this afternoon that my dearest Garbanzo Bean will be fighting Junior dos Santos on Versus. 

So far the card is looking something like this:
Jon Jones vs. Brandon Vera

Junior Dos Santos vs. Gabriel Gonzaga
John Howard vs. Anthony Johnson
Clay Guida vs. Sean Sherk*
Spencer Fisher vs. Duane "Bang" Ludwig*
Eliot Marshall vs. Vladimir Matyushenko
Chase Gormley vs. Brendan Schaub*
* Not officially announced

::HAPPY::DANCE:: 

Jon Jones (607 Baby!-- He told me so!), Brandon Vera and Gonzaga all in the same night... I am a happy girl!
