Here you will find things that make me laugh, think or things I find generally odd and / or amusing. I'm into books, mythology, history, comics, heavy metal, tattoos, fashion & other assorted nerdery. Neil Gaiman is my hero & I have a weird facination with Vladimir Putin.

Interesting perspective. I would totally watch 2 men beat the shit out of each other for 25 minutes straight. :)
Lyoto Machida may be the UFC’s top light heavyweight contender, but it may nevertheless take awhile for “The Dragon” to receive his next crack at UFC gold.
While Machida had previously set his sights on the winner of Jon Jones’ recent UFC 159 clash with Chael Sonnen, the Brazilian is now requesting to fight Alexander Gustafsson after learning that the injured Jones could be sidelined for some time. The winner of that title eliminator would then challenge “Bones” when the 205-pound champion is back to full strength.
SAN JOSE, Calif. — UFC President Dana White noted on Thursday’s UFC on Fox 7 media day that he was going to call his biggest drawing card, welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, later that day to discuss what is next for him. White said he’d given St-Pierre time to heal up after his March 16 win at UFC 158 over Nick Diaz before bringing up a new fight. He noted St-Pierre would have to option to choose whether he would rather take a superfight with Anderson Silva, which would probably be the more lucrative option, or a welterweight title defense against Johny Hendricks. No matter what St-Pierre wants to do, the trigger isn’t going to be pulled until July, since Silva first has to defend his middleweight title against Chris Weidman.
This is some BULLSHIT. Diaz wants a rematch over 0.4lbs?!! WTF is the matter with you Nick??
You fucking lost. I know it’s hard for you but be a damn grown up and deal with it.
In case you guys missed it Andrei Arlovski & Anthony Johnson beat the FUCK out of each other this past Saturday for the World Series of Fighting.
Johnson came away with a broken hand and Andrei a broken jaw (in the first round). The fight came down to the judges who scored in favor of Johnson.
UFC fighter Nick Diaz decided the post-fight press conference after a bout with Georges St-Pierre was the perfect time to tell the world, and U.S. Government, he hasn’t paid a cent in taxes his entire life. Michelle Beadle and Dave Briggs take a serious second to debate if there is deeper meaning behind Diaz’s proclamation, but it might be safe to assume the fighter has taken too many blows to the head.
Watch as GSP makes Diaz his bitch. He won by unanimous decision. Diaz didn’t win one round.
When the UFC debuts in Sweden, their main event might only be three rounds as the Swedish Federation doesn’t have a permit to sanction five round fights. There are actions in motion with the Martial Arts Delegation to make the fight a five rounder.
“We’ve put forth our arguments for why this should be allowed and validity for why this is a safe match,” said George Sallfeldt, president of the Swedish MMA Federation to Nordic MMA. “Hopefully we’ll see a five rounder. At this point we don’t know.”
The main event for UFC on FUEL TV sees Alexander Gustafsson with home country advantage as he meets Strikeforce import Gegard Mousasi.
Gustafsson currently sits as one of the top names in the light heavyweight division after a win over former champion Mauricio Rua. He is 7-1 inside the Octagon and has finished five of those fights.
