Fighter Futures: Renan Barao

It remains to be seen if Renan Barao will defend the Interim Championship while he waits for a returning Dominick Cruz. He could defend it, sure, but the only fight that really makes sense would be a rematch with Faber and no one is clamoring for that fight right now. What this fight proved for Renan is what we already knew: that he is an elite level bantamweight, only now he has a recognizable and impressive name on his resume. The creation of a Flyweight Division (in my opinion) has stripped the Bantamweight’s talent pool leaving Barao, Faber, and Cruz miles ahead of the competition. While I would like to see an Interim Champ who remains active, I doubt Renan will, purely due to lack of a true challenger.  

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.

UFC149 Predictions

I try to bring MMA into every aspect of my life, for example I’m always laying on my cats and yelling, “Use your Jitz,” …they never do because they're cats. I also like to lay on my back and tell my girlfriend to, “Get in my guard,” which sounds sexual, but it really isn’t because she typically responds by trying to stomp my face into the ground while screaming, “Pride Rules,” …we play by Pride Rules in this house. Well… now that is something you can never un-know about me, I can’t believe I just admitted that on the internet for all to read and see, so I am going to go hang my head in shame while you check out my UFC 149 picks.
