Hespect Hangover #2 - It Only Took Mark Hunt 1 Episode to Turn Super Saiyan

If Uncle Dana thinks starting shows at the ass crack of dawn is going to keep me from getting embarrassingly drunk for the main event he is sorely mistaken

UFC Fight Night 48 & 49 Picks & Preview: UFC Dares Me Not To Watch Both Cards. Challenge Accepted.

When Dana White says the China shows are for China, he’s not fucking kidding. At the very least, you can give the UFC credit for not even pretending you’re supposed to care about anyone or anything on that card. Now join me as I grab both sides of my chair and white-knuckle my way through this preview without saying something inexplicably racist.

Bellator 122 Picks & Predictions - Phil Baroni On Your Television In 2014 And It's Not A Postmortem Steroid Investigation

In what seemingly happened overnight, Bellator has become the land of misfit fighters with Melvin Manhoef, Paul Daley, Cheick Kongo, Bobby Lashley, Rampage Jackson, Tito Ortiz, Karo Parisyan, and Phil Baroni. When you see UFC saturating the market with events every weekend and promoting every single fight as the greatest test [insert champion] has ever faced, why try to compete on that level? Fuck it, just throw a bunch of crazy people on basic cable with a live mic and see what happens. God willing one day we’ll see Rampage vs Kimbo Slice.

UFC Fight Night 45 Picks & Predictions: The Closest A Cowboy Will Ever Get To A Title In This Decade

A Wednesday Fight Night. It hearkens back to the days of flipping through TV alone on the couch with nothing to do and landing on Spike TV and seeing 2 dudes beat the absolute shit out of each other. Unfortunately, this isn't Spike TV. Nobody is going to accidentally come across this and tell all their friends because about the guy in the Cowboy hat kicking the other guy in the face. That's because nobody is going to come across this. I've had FOX Sports 1 since the channel debuted and I'm still not entirely sure it really exists. For all I know it's some Truman Show-esque elaborate setup to force me to watch Justin Salas for America's amusement.

UFC 175 Picks: Red, White, and Fuck You, Rest of the World

Man, I haven’t been this excited for a UFC card since that white-knuckler from the other side of the world at 4 in the morning. I’m excited to grill, drink, listen to my dog yelp at the sound of fireworks, and watch these grown ass men throw some bungalows. You can dump that fucking World Cup bullshit in the Boston Harbor, because around here the only red card we need is red-blooded Americans all over this card ready to punch each other in their stupid fucking faces just like our founding fathers would have wanted.
