MMA Discussion: 5-31-2012



So Amazing....So Amazing
I'm going to start off by saying that UFC 146 was great.  From Big Country's over hand right of doom, to Frank Mir thinking he was so amazing....so amazing....so amazing and then getting his ass beat made me realize that an all heavyweight card wasn't a bad idea.  I honestly thought that 4 out of 5 of those fights would have went to a decision, with all the fighters gassing out by the 2nd.  Even the prelims (except for Mayhem vs CB) were great.


JDS is a beast.  JDS right now is the Best in the World @ Heavyweight.  No one knows who is next for JDS but the rumor mill is saying Cain Velasquez.  Even though JDS tko'ed him in the 1st.....I can see JDS TKOing him in the 2nd if they were to have a rematch right now.  I'm saying hold off on that rematch, and bring in another contender.  A ton of internet fans want to see Mark Hunt vs JDS but Hunt will need to beat someone like Cain to get that match.  Overeem is going to be out for a while and it's too early for Big Country to get a title shot / rematch against JDS, so have Hunt vs Cain for a title eliminator or Big Country vs Cain.  Any one of those fights would be good and it will give the fans a fight they would like to see @ Heavyweight.

Derailing a Hype Train

After Nate Diaz, Edson Barboza was my pick to be next in line for a title shot.  He was originally supposed to face Evan Dunham but Dunham dropped out of UFC 146 due to injury.  So the UFC called up Jamie Varner.....and this is what happened.








Deep down I knew this was going to happen.  I even said it before the fight, "Never sleep on Jamie Varner".  He was a former WEC champion.  He's beaten a ton of guys including Donald Cerrone, and was beating Ben Henderson until he got caught in a guillotine choke.  I'm hoping they give him another top 5 opponent pretty soon, and I hope the UFC allows him to bring back some of his awesome post fight celebrations.



Arianny arrested for Domestic Violence
Yes.  The Beautiful Arianny was arrested for kicking her boyfriend in the nose, and yes he called the cops on her.  What a gay.  But what kills me is that this is her boyfriend........

 

 I know what you're saying...."Are you serious, bro?"  Maybe he's got money....I'm not sure.


Now lets take a look @ Arianny's mugshot.
"Would Smash like the Hulk"
 Good news is that Dana White said "He's & the UFC are 100% right behind her in this case".  Insert Joke here.

If this is real, then this is awesome

Faith's cousin Tom that lives in Australia (trains/fights MMA)
was an extra in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Apparently, he was in the gym scene before Wolverine fights Blob.
He is on screen for approximately 3 Seconds.



How many X-Men movies were you in? Thought so.
I think he just wrote about it now because the movie just came out in Australia.

Real Life: Challenge Accepted

A German 16-year-old has become the first person to solve a mathematical problem posed by Sir Isaac Newton more than 300 years ago.

"When it was explained to us that the problems had no solutions, I thought to myself, 'well, there's no harm in trying.'"

Mr Ray (the 16 year old) won a research award for his efforts and has been labeled a genius by the German media, but he put it down to "curiosity and schoolboy naivety".
