at long last

Loyal followers, I apologize for the delay in writing, but...here we go.

Where to start? UFC 122 sure.

Basically this card sucked bad. Decision fest! I am disappointed in Nate Marquardt for real, but, over all, while my methods didn't come through, I picked most of the winners correctly (At least on Fantasy UFC on UFC.com)

I won't bore you with the play by play of the patty cake brigade at work. It literally put me to sleep. I mean, I was on the couch watching, and my body drifted off into a slumber, maybe it was the Cold-As-The-Rockies Coors light, maybe it was my girlfriend being in town and I was really comfortable.

But then again, it was probably just the very boring fights.

Here we see Yushin Okami engaged in combat with Nate The Great



Meanwhile, in the bantam weight division...

That there is one bad mofo. Urijah Faber. Former featherweight champion who got tired of living in Jose Aldo's shadow, so he was like "I'm gonna move to 135 and fight the meanest Japanese dude the WEC can put in front of me."

       It isn't power rangers, but it was close enough...

Urijah Faber spent 4:50 of a single round in the main event of WEC 52 (the penultimate WEC) beating the snot out of no pushover. Takeya Mizugaki is pretty B.A. so, you have to figure, choking him out was a feat.

Faber did it. No sweat.

Annnnd, I've missed two episodes of the Ultimate Fighter. This past wednesday evening, Spike TV forgot to adjust their settings for Daylight Savings ending, so when we fell back an hour, they did not, so instead of 2200, TUF is now on at 2300, and my circadian rythem isn't up to speed with those hours. After two workouts, and no xenergy in my system, that day I was feeling particularly sleepy...

  And, like a abbreviated version of Rip Van Winkle I slept for 2 hours (not twenty years) and woke up to see Michael Johnson winning by decision. I heard later through the grape vine that Kyle Watson beat old boy...Wilkinson, and the Semi's are set up with Watson Vs. Brookins, and Nam Phan vs Michael Johnson.

Funny how TUF lines Nam up with people I want to see him fight in the finals. I really wanted to see Cody guillotine his way up to the finale, visa vis Nam Phan, however, Nam Phan stamped that dudes card an episode or two back...

Oh yeah, I missed that too because I was picking up the lovely Ms. Olivia Barracchini in Tucson.

OH WELL! Looks like it's gonna be Brookins and Nam Phan in the final, they can't screw that up, only Nam Phan can, and I'm not giving Watson a chance against Brookins.

Despite being a damn Nam Phan fan, I'm going to call Brookins winning the Finale on 4 December.

That should just about cover everything recently going on in the world of MMA.

Oh. If you read this, please vote via commenting what my cage nickname should be once my coaches decide I'm ready to throw down with the best Southern Arizona has to offer. It's a toss up between

(drumroll please)

Tigger Jose came up with Tigger, making fun of my tendency (read: habit of doing) to bounce my hands up and down while moving around. I think it's sorta like an early Chris Leben. Rich thinks it's kinda like a dude who's about to get knocked out.

Chris Leben.

OR

Machine originally, "Marine Machine" but since I didn't like the fact that my cage name would be rhyming, I shortened it, despite Barry my jiu jitsu coach being able to choke me out for disagreeing. He's also a cop...and they tend to carry guns. Guns dude...guns.

Please, i'm serious. Vote!

Take a brief moment to stretch, grab a xenergy, crack your knuckles before reading the rest of this post...


.....

Alright. The end.


P.S. Yes, earlier, I was really trying hard to find a way to slip in the use of Visa Vis correctly in a sentence. I win at everything, I know. Thank you.
