Michael Bisping is Damn Entertaining During This Q/A

I’m still recovering from Bellator last night and by that I mean I Tivo’d it and watch it at 2am when I got home from work while simultaneously packing my face hole with a four cheese frozen pizza and a box of macaroni and cheese; and not Kraft Mac and Cheese either, but the Velveeta Shells and Cheese Sauce which is extra disgusting. It amazes me I stay so thin with these eating habits. Anway, Michael Bisping hosted a Q/A yesterday at the weigh ins, and it seems he is taking a page out of Chael Sonnen’s book because the trash being expelled from this man’s mouth is damn entertaining. Check out the video below, courtesy of MMAFighting.com, and start your day off with nearly 10 minutes of Bisping on everything from Hector Lombard to Alan Belcher’s tattoo artist and everything in between.

Chael, Chael, Chael

Chael Sonnen is the Obi-Won Kenobi of MMA; since Anderson struck him down, he has become more powerful than any of us imagined. Remember how Heather Chandler became even more popular after her death, well Chael has done the same thing. While his MMA career is currently on hold, Chael definitely has a future as a commentator and an analyst for the sport. Rampage Jackson recently fired off at Chael saying he should keep his word and leave the UFC because as he put it, “Chael suck.” Chael took the high road by first saying, “Rampage has one fight left and it’s not against me,” but then surrounded by a whirlwind of smugness and Force Powers Chael unleashed a verbal tirade reducing Rampage to shreds. One can only assume Page is hiding under a rock somewhere. Let Chael explain it to you, check out the video below…. 

Fighter Futures: Chael Sonnen

He came, he saw, he talked monumental amounts of trash you will pass off as your own for decades, and just like that he was defeated. I’m not sure Chael has a future while Anderson is still champion; he won't get another shot, so who? So long as Anderson remains there isn’t another fight that makes sense except for “perpetual gatekeeper” and then, best case, he stops a surging contender while gaining nothing in return. Until Anderson retires, or the belt changes hands, every fight Chael has is the equivalent of treading water in the middle of the ocean. Chael was the perfect foil to a champion that comes along once in forever, but like all great villains he fell short. Just for the sake of seeing them fight I would guess Chael gets paired with Wanderlei or Vitor, if they’re not fighting each other. Damn, I’m depressed now. 

UFC148 Recap: Silva/Sonnen 2

There has been a lot of buzz left from Silva/Sonnen 2 and frankly, I don’t understand why. I sincerely doubt Anderson was greasing, he was nervous, and whatever small amount of Vaseline he was able to apply seemed irrelevant as Sonnen took him down in under 10 seconds. The short grabbing was strange but had no effect on the outcome. Next came the knee and the “bad intentions” behind it. I’m sorry, but this is MMA, there are no good intentions, the object is to incapacitate the other. “It was too close to the head of a downed opponent,” so what if it was close, the most accurate striker in MMA put his knee where he wanted it. Honestly, I think we all wanted a more exciting fight and right now, after two years of build-up, we’re all a little disappointed that we didn’t get five rounds of fireworks. 

Silva/Sonnen 2 is TONIGHT!!

Remember that episode of South Park where Cartman digitally alters Kenny’s face into a giant butt, then gets it printed as a missing child on the back of a milk carton only to have two parents with giants butts for heads show up at his door thinking that he’s found their missing child? After this happens Cartman is unable to laugh at anything ever again, because he has seen something so funny and he knows that nothing will ever come close to being that funny again. That pretty much sums up my feelings for Silva/Sonnen 2. I doubt I will ever again be this excited for a fight, in fact I hope the Mayans are right and the world does end this December (via the Reptilians), because after Silva/Sonnen 2 the rest of my life is pretty much meh…

Chael Chats with Ariel Helwani

Lately I’ve found myself increasingly annoyed with people. This is particularly hard for me to deal with since I’m a bartender… and people want to talk about EVERYTHING, and I don’t care. The other night I had someone tell me he maxed his credit card shopping online. I nodded and smiled and said, “we’ve all been there,” but that wasn’t enough, he proceeded to explain every purchase he made, all $2,000. To combat this I’m using a new tactic, I start babbling about MMA until they go away, or join the conversation. I’ll let you know how it works. Anyway, Chael Sonnen explained to Ariel Helwani how a phone call from Renzo Gracie caused him to change his verbal approach towards Anderson Silva. Sonnen wouldn’t go into detail, only said Renzo wasn’t happy. Click HERE to check out his interview with Helwani and draw your own conclusions. 

Silva/Sonnen 2: Continuing the Hype

If the universe is infinite then every possible outcome, no matter how bizarre or unlikely, exists somewhere. For example I am out of Cheetos, but in some distant universe everything is exactly the same, only I have Cheetos. But it goes even farther than that: In some universe I am the President of the United States, and so are you, and so is your mother, and your father. Every possible outcome exists somewhere because there are infinite possibilities within an infinite universe, including a world made entirely out of flying burrito men. In some distant universe Chael Sonnen became the reigning UFC Middleweight Champion by defeating Anderson Silva at UFC117. I can only think how lucky I am that I do not live in that universe because then I would be denied the rematch this Saturday. Check out the video below to continue getting jacked for Silva/Sonnen 2.

Check Out This Video of Vintage Chael

With the 4^th of July drawing ever neigh, last night was my annual screening of Independence Day, or ID4 as we called it back in the day. Every time I watch that movie I notice more and more little things. For instance there are two scenes where The Fresh Prince walks away from a crashed alien space craft while smoking a cigar in the middle of the desert. The first time happens when he brings down the alien fighter mid movie and the second time is after he saves the world with the guy from Jurassic Park. Chael Sonnen is the only other human being alive who has achieved this level of pure awesomeness, and it is evidenced by this video compilation below.  

Silva/Sonnen 2 Rehashing and Predicting

I just wrote a three page article recapping the history of Chael Sonnen and Anderson Silva starting with UFC117 and heading into UFC148. It took me three hours and several “Fight Breaks” where I popped on UFC3 and played some Pride mode. Turns out I dominate as Shogun. Anyway, I wrote the whole thing and I didn’t make one obscure reference to anything, not even when I wanted to compare Chael Sonnen to Aqua Man, completely useless unless you’re in the water, but the octagon is his ocean. I have to work on that one a little bit, the joke is there but it needs to be polished. So check out my piece over on Arm Chair Nation by clicking below. But before you do that, take a few seconds and answer the two polling questions to the right, they’re MMA related and you like MMA, otherwise why would you be here?
