CSAC comments on Shogun / Machida decision
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 by Thomas GerbilskiThis weekend’s UFC 104 main event between Lyoto Machida and Mauricio Rua ended with a controversial decision that saw the champ Machida retain his belt despite many fans, fighters, sports writers and computers giving the match to his opponent.
When asked about the decision, this week’s California State Athletic Commission Executive Officer Dwayne Jenners said he stood behind his judges one hundred percent. “We’ve supported our guys through much worse calls than this. Besides, everyone knows you can’t leave a fight in the hands of the judges because they’ll probably get it wrong. I don’t see why we’d start changing that attitude now.”
“While it is true that everyone else scored the fight for ‘Shogun’, I’d like to point out that they don’t see the same thing the judges see. One of our judges was sitting dangerously close to the UFC Octagon girls and the frizzy haired one kept dropping her phone. Try to pay attention to a bout when that’s going on. And Marcos Rosales has never even seen an MMA fight before. He told me from where he was sitting Mauricio looked like a line dancing sissy.”
Jenners also commented on rumors that judge Cecil Peoples wasn’t even present for the first three rounds of the fight. “Cecil is a veteran judge who has worked more events than most people have watched. In his expert opinion, the best time to go to the toilet at an MMA show is right at the start of a boring fight, which helps avoid long lines and too many bathroom handshakes. Who are we to question his experience?”
Dana White responded to the outrage by setting up a rematch during the post-event press conference. “If people were unimpressed with Machida / Shogun the first time around, wait until they see the rematch! Wait, did I say that right? Whatever. The second one will be everything I promised the first one would be. I promise.”

Wrestling Observer brings the funny
Thursday, July 30th, 2009 by RodriguezJeff Siegel at the Wrestling Observer shows us just how far up the ladder Brock has angered:
* Effectively immediately, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has mandated that the New York Giants may no longer rely upon their crushing running attack that boasted two 1000-yard rushers last season — becoming only the fifth team in NFL history to achieve that feat on the heels of their Super Bowl victory. “As Mirko Cro Cop stated so well, it’s nothing more than pure raw power,” said Goodell. “We prefer technique. So the Giants must abandon their running attack in favor of a more flashy passing game. That’s athleticism. Just ask Frank Mir.”
* Effectively immediately, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig has mandated that the New York Yankees may no longer rely on their dominating power hitting to win ballgames — despite the fact that they are on a blistering pace that could bring them within range of the single-season record for team home runs on their way to another World Championship. “As Mirko Cro Cop stated so well, it’s nothing more than pure raw power,” said Selig. “We prefer technique. So the Yankees will now have to bunt and steal bases if they want to score. That’s athleticism. Just ask Frank Mir.”
* Effectively immediately, NBA Commissioner David Stern has mandated that the Cleveland Cavaliers may not plan on controlling the paint this season in their pursuit of a possible World Championship — despite the addition of one of the game’s most dominating centers in Shaquille O’Neal. “As Mirko Cro Cop stated so well, it’s nothing more than pure raw power,” said Stern. “We prefer technique. So we’re going to nip this one in the bud before it even gets going. If the Cavaliers want to win, they’ll have to do it with three-pointers and working the weave. That’s athleticism. Just ask Frank Mir.”
Thank you, Brock.
Now that’s what I’m talking about.
BREAKING NEWS: Affliction cancellation part of a Zuffa conspiracy?
Friday, July 24th, 2009 by Shawn
A disgruntled employee — Dana reportedy calls him a “meaty-breasted fag” LOLZ — that works in the Zuffa offices has revealed to Fightlinker that both Seth Petruzelli and Josh Barnett are on the payroll of the UFC’s parent company. The obvious implication here is that both men were given undisclosed amounts in order to help bring about the downfall of the UFC’s two biggest rivals over the past few years, EliteXC and Affliction. My conversation with this anonymous source can be found here.
Bad Movie Alert: Maximal Overload II
Saturday, April 11th, 2009 by supercrap
In the tradition of Cyborg Soldier, Scorpion King 2, and Death Force Pain Squad, comes yet another terrible movie starring washed up MMA rejects.
Whilst cruising the web for home appliance porn I found this review of what must be one of the most terrible movies ever made. Boy would I love to see it.
Crack-smoking school headmasters, fist-pumping dirt collectors, cheese-sniffing mustache trimmers, I present to you…

Adrenaline MMA III Update
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009 by Shawn
Despite the New Jersey Athletic Commission’s best efforts to stop it from happening, the Tim Sylvia-Ray Mercer boxing match will go ahead as planned in the main event of Adrenaline MMA III — albeit in Alabama. Adrenaline promoter and long-time MMA manager, Monte Cox, spoke to VERSUS.com and offered his thoughts on the situation.
I think New Jersey not sanctioning this fight is ridiculous. It must not have been as compelling as the Bonaduce-Canseco fight.
Normally a promoter would want to avoid talking about fights that overshadow that of his own; Cox is clearly not your average promoter. He’s not afraid to tell the truth. After all, it’s very rare that fight fans witness a spectacle like Bonaduce-Canseco. If Sylvia-Mercer is half as spectacular then it should be considered a resounding success.
In any case, fans are still left wondering what bouts will fill out the rest of what is sure to be an historical card. While nothing is signed yet, Roy “Big Country” Nelson could potentially go belly-to-belly with Eric “Butterbean” Esch in the co-main event. If the fight is booked, the winner will receive gastric bypass surgery in addition to his purse.
In another heavyweight attraction, Bobby Lashley might get to redeem himself after a lackluster performance in his last bout if a rumored fight with Kinniku Mantaro comes to fruition. When asked why such a fight would even be considered, Cox said, “Lashley feels as though he still needs to earn the respect of the MMA community. What better way to do that than to beat the 59th prince of Planet Muscle?”
The ladies might see some action as well. “The Karate Hottie” Michelle Waterson could meet her toughest test to date in former American Gladiator Erin Toughill. While the bout itself should be action packed, Cox has plans to put certain stipulations on the fight. “The winner will strip the loser down to her bra and panties later on in the night in front of the whole crowd. Maybe we’ll have them mud wrestle, too. It’ll be great for female MMA, that’s for sure.”
But that’s not all. Kyle Maynard — the congenital amputee high school wrestler who has long been rumored to be entering mixed martial arts — could meet 43-62 Shannon Ritch. Early rumblings from the sportsbooks have Maynard as a -550 favorite. Should he lose, Cox said Ritch will be on suicide watch.
