If when current MMA news is slow you'll give me the option between this thread being 1) discussion of funny or awesome UFC poo poo from days gone by or 2) whining about how UFC and posts aren't good anymore, I'll slam (1) so fast that my dick somehow gets caught in it.

Chael Sonnen saying "Fuckin' Wanderlei", in the distracted manner of a guy whose doorbell rings the second he sits down for a dump, occurs to me at random to this day.

Same but instead that black and white video of Wanderlei threatening Chael in the back of a cab wearing a dumb rear end hat while heavy metal guitar riffs play in the background.

me watching some kind of weird sweaty vampire who drinks blood in tiny lil sips from soda bottle caps and like a racist muppet who doesnt know how to read torment a simple dipshit with a lovely childhood and substance abuse problems to the point of a breakdown: hmm, its right what they did, and I am a better person for it

The simple dipshit was a loving rear end in a top hat who did everything he did to get under everyone else's skin and talked the biggest poo poo possible to cover up his own insecurities

Chris Leben is just an rear end in a top hat. It doesn't make what the other dudes did right but acting like it came out of nowhere and he never provoked anyone is dumb as poo poo. One of the first things you see from him is him just goading swick over and over about how swick lost to him. It's what he did. Someone finally swung back at his weak point and now he's the victim. Same with when he loses his fight with Koscheck, whose name I can't spell, he immediately just cries about how unfair it is and how that wasn't a real fight because it was spent wrestling. Dude has mad issues but instead of dealing with them he takes them out on everyone else and then can't handle when they swing back.

That doesn't make you a pitiful victim.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: sometimes passing just isn't an option.
My favorite thing about the Wanderlei vs. Sonnen Brazil TUF season is that Chael was totally prepared to be the heel the entire season, and in fact tells Wanderlei off camera that he is doing this and Wandy should be a babyface, and then Wandy decides to gang harass Chael anyways and be a lovely coach and Chael goes down looking better to Brazilian fans than Wanderlei does.

edit: and then both guys popped before their fight I think :getin:

Almost the entire TUF 1 class went on to varying degrees of MMA fame after the show ended (and they all show up for the TUF 1 finale) but make sure to read this article detailing what happened with Jason "Strange Brew" Thacker after the show was over. https://www.mmafighting.com/2015/3/24/8259545/in-search-of-strange-brew

So who are people picking in the two title fights this weekend?

I'm a bit up in the air on Max vs Ortega. But I'm pretty confident Valentina is gonna take it to Joanna.

I'm leaning towards Max too when I run it through my head. I think he'll touch Ortega up on the feet and not dive in on the guy to get his neck wrapped up.

Max seems way too smart to jump on a grounded Ortega unless it is a certainty that Ortega won't throw up a sub. If I remember right, he let Aldo up a few times because he wanted to batter him more before going for the finish.

I think Valentina beats Joanna Challenger back into being Joanna Top Fiver.

It makes me sad to hear everybody making GBS threads on Wes Sims.

He was (i think) the first dude to win via powerbomb In a MMA match!

He stomped the poo poo out of Murrr.

He was funny and cool, almost a cult fighter!

His striking is not on the level of Holloway but give Ortega a break - when he got popped he was coming from straight jiu-jitsu and everyone is on gear there.

Edit - *everyone* is obviously hyperbole.

ortega wins handily after getting tagged a few times then loses his first title defense. Max has the wear on his tires of a guy five years older and he is about to fall off of a very sad cliff.

I had forgotten about Danaher being on the show too, he still has hair!

Didn't he show up on the second day with one of those huge cups of booze you can buy in Vegas? He showed up drunk and still effortlessly beat the poo poo out of everyone.

There's a similar video from when Tristar brought in some little thai bloke to help GSP prepare for Condit. There's a long speech from the coaches to the effect of 'do not loving give this guy a reason to hit you hard'

In a steroid situation involving Wanderlei, Sonnen and Vitor Belfort, Belfort somehow came out looking bestleast guilty. I'm pretty sure that was when Chael popped for HGH, placing him in a very select group.

A true renaissance man


Ortega-Holloway must be the most on-paper violence hype title fight ever - undefeated guy with a 7-fight finishing streak vs an aggressive champ on a 12-fight 9-finish tear. I can't think of one that compares.
