Dear new UFC fans, a man named John Lineker fights on Wednesday. He is rad as hell.

He is a goon hero due to weighing too much.

McCain is married to the Anheuser-Busch heiress. They make Budweiser. Bud sponsors boxing.

Ninja edit: And in later years, the UFC.
Ninja-ninja edit: Which happily coincides with when McCain started to reevaluate his stance on MMA.

He received a ton of money from boxing directly, no need to make connections. He'd also been ringside at a boxing match where a fighter died making his opposition to UFC hilarious.

Speaking of Roy Nelson- I used to really like watching TUF (there's something about the possibility of a lovely person getting punched in the face on every episode that makes it must see for me) but I haven't really had a chance to watch anything after the Roy Nelson/Kimbo Slice season (9? 10?). Who are the most notable fighters from recent seasons? The best matches? What drunk rear end drama and ridiculous producer-created plot twists did I miss? Are the international seasons any good? Thanks!

Season 11 isn't a good season but you need to watch the coaches challenges between Chuck and Tito.

Russow/Duffee and Reem vs Easter Island Statue Head are good/funny hw fights although some of the contestants aren't as fat and gassed as we'd like.

Took me a minute to remember Overeem/Bigfoot just because there have been so many hilarious Overeem losses.

that hunt/manhoef excerpt makes me wish i was critically unemployed enough to do a retrospective thread for the dream/sengoku era. it was all kind of ghetto but there were some really great moments even outside of the stuff people remember (like eddie alvarez, aoki losing a bunch). that fight between tokoro and hiroyuki takaya where there were about 3 kos was bananas.

Let us never forget the Sengoku that occured in the Saitama Super Arena lobby during a concert.

Haha wasn't it for the black eyed peas?

I think so. It's kind of cool to watch MMA at 3 AM and see this giant window looking out at a city in daylight.
