Wow.
That one took me by surprise.
Wow.
Did anyone else hear Bob Arum's ignorant and racist remarks about MMA and its fans? I understand his feeling threatened by the sport, but he took it to an unnecessary level with his comments. I will look for a link as soon as I can.

Yeah, that was pretty dismal. Bas Rutten had a pretty funny editorial about it on Inside MMA.
Apologies if this was already posted:

PS. This was my 100th post, how neat
Good quiz, good quiz... I guess I'm not as big of an MMA fan as I thought I was!
Chris, you've alluded to doing some fighting yourself, do you mind sharing some background?
I wrestled a little when I was young, and I've trained submission grappling and muay thai off and on for the last ~5 years. I've won a couple smoker fights and some no gi grappling matches. I'm 0-1 as a pro...about 3.5 years ago I got the opportunity to take a fight after a guy got injured ~5 weeks out...I knew the opponent and thought I could beat him, so I went for it...it didn't work out exactly like I thought it would.
I haven't competed much since for a couple of reasons, but I would like to fight again early next year. For the first time in a while I'm free of injuries and have a training situation that works with my day job. I've made it known to a couple of match makers that I'm looking to fight around that time...hopefully something comes through.
Anyone catch Chuck Liddell on Dancing with the Stars? I dug up the youtube clip and it's pretty entertaining.

who's watching the ultimate fighter? kimbo might make it.

I've only seen the first episode, but I can't imagine Kimbo ever being successful in the UFC. He's a brawler, plain and simple. He obviously has power, but I feel the top heavyweights in the UFC will destroy him.
That's fantastic! When I'm watching highlights on Inside MMA, I'll be looking for the guy with the B&B Badger logo on his board shorts. Let us know when you get something scheduled.

Yeah it'll be interesting to see where he ends up but as it stands, yeah, I think any top heavyweight would pound him to dust (well, submit him probably).
