He also says some other pretty awesome/hilarious things in this video, about Brock Lesnar, etc…

I like how the fighters just chilled against the cage. What happened next? Did they start fighting again or was it over?

The World MMA Awards show will be shown January 6th on Versus. You’ve probably already seen the awesomely drunken acceptance speech by Diego Sanchez. Well, here are more hilarious videos, such as Randy Couture: Divorce Attorney, and Junie Browning: Life Coach.

Yep…that is awesome. Chuck Liddell will be a contestant on the new season of Dancing With The Stars on ABC.  I remember seeing him in the audience once before, when Willa Ford was a contestant on the show.

I posted about this Extreme Arm Wrestling stuff back in October, along with a video to show of the awesomeness. It’s arm wrestling with the contestants having one hand tied together, while they punch eachother with the other hand. Oh, and they’re allowed to use knees also I think, so that’s great too.

The way to win in XARM is to stop your opponent with blows or make him submit. Arm pins are treated like a knockdown in boxing in that the recipient loses points. So, the essence of XARM as a sport is to attack without being tagged or submitted.  XARM was created by Art Davie, who considers himself the mastermind behind the UFC in the early days.

From a press release:

XARM is the next generation in combat sports, combing mixed martial arts with hardcore arm wrestling. It’s three minutes of raw, uncensored action, and it’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

Below, I’ve quoted an Art Davie blog entry about his new project. Be sure to check out the XARM website by clicking HERE.

MMA, A Sport Searching for a Soul

01/02/09

I was the guy who started this sport and let me say, for the record, that I love MMA. But, I’m not the only one or the first one to say that the MMA seems to have has lost its way. MMA, and specifically the UFC, have stopped delivering the kind of extreme fighting sport that fans have come to expect. Some are saying now that the UFC has de-evolved. First it was a spectacle, then it gained acceptance as a sport and now it’s back to being a spectacle.

Recently John Perretti called it, “a fossil of what is was.” And journalist Eddie Goldman, the ‘Conscience of MMA’, says that real technique in MMA is gone. He says, “today you push ‘em up against the cage, tumble to the mat, throw punches and elbows on the ground….that’s called technique.”

Not too long ago the UFC really cared about putting solid fights together. Now, they seem more interested in providing a neat, corporate package like the WWE with their stable of entertainers. They’ve become a business looking to sell their groomed fighters. What does it say about the UFC when you have a pro wrestler, with a 2-1 record, beating their hall-of-fame Heavyweight Champion? And I don’t even want to get into the farce that was ProEliteXC. Some are saying that the UFC is fast becoming just like the WWE……pure entertainment and less of a SPORT.

When I created the UFC, the boxing community and martial artists, from karate to taekwondo, said it was too brutal and a freak show….a “unicorn sport”. Now some in MMA are taking shots at my new sport, XARM – saying it’s too extreme. Oh, how history repeats itself! What XARM does is take the best three minutes of any MMA fight – removes the ground game…and gives fans what they want – raw, uncensored, nonstop action!

Get off the ground and step up to the table. That’s my thought….

Peace,
Art

You might know Dave Kaplan as the victim of the semen-on-sushi eating prank on the latest episode of The Ultimate Fighter. Here he is as a contestant on NBC’s game show “The Singing Bee” with former Backstreet Boy Joey Fatone, on “girl power” night.. Enjoy..

Dudes use knees, fist, etc. and each fighters has one wrist taped to the other fighters wrist.

Fat kid is talking trash at the beginning, saying something about “HB” on someones arm? I couldn’t really tell. Anyway, terrificly awesome video. Homeboys have on gloves, so I’m guessing this was a “meet me after school and I’ll kick your ass” kind of deal. Fat kid probably totes around MMA gloves just for cases like this.

The UFC Just Bleed guy has become an internet legend. To hell with that, he is a legend of MMA. Does he know about his fame? I don’t know… but thanks to Joe Nameth on the UG, we have more pictures of the Just Bleed guy, and his name is James Ladner. Unfortunately, homeboy is locked up until 2012 in a Mississippi prison for receiving stolen property (mugshot below). Damn, Just Bleed, that’s a harsh sentence for being a fence. FREE JUST BLEED.

We also learn from these photographs that Just Bleed attended the UFC events along with other personalities such as the Tapout Thug (props to WatchinMMA for the name) and a dude sporting a sweatpants boner (see photo’s below).

Since you’re here, you should go sign up on our MMA forum and post something. Damnit.

This movie was from 1988. At about 2:58 of the video, Mel Gibson goes for an armbar from mount, but Busey defends well and ends up in Mel Gibson’s guard. Busey lands some ground-n-pound, tries to secure a “rape choke” on Mel, but instead lets Mel Gibson sink a triangle choke.

Now go sign up on our MMA forum and post something.

This is one of the most awesome stories. These kids probably would have got their asses kicked if the cops hadn’t stopped them. Homeboy at the end says they just had the weapons so they would look “as ninja as possible.” Seriously, these dudes are awesome. Their names are Jesse Trojaniak and Tadeusz Pertkiewicz. They say they are “Shinobi Warriors, to be exact”.

To discourage Fedor Emelianenko from fighting bears, this sign was put in place.

…and after you watch it, you should go sign up on our MMA forum and post something, just because. Now watch this chick get propelled skyward.

Somewhat hilarious. A spoof movie of what might have happened during the filming of Bruce Lee’s unfinished final movie Game Of Death

Better Luck Tomorrow and Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift director Justin Lin takes a comic look at a longstanding bit of cinema mythology with this mockumentary exploring the making of Bruce Lee’s unfinished final film Game of Death. When martial arts star Lee died in 1973 after having shot roughly twenty-minutes of the full-length feature, director Robert Clouse vowed to complete the film using a Bruce Lee look-a-like. Though the film was eventually released into theaters in 1978, fans continue to debate just how much involvement Lee had in the making of the film nearly three decades after the fact. Perhaps viewers will never know for certain just how much of Lee they are seeing in the final product, but in this knowing satire director Lin offers a hilarious look at how things might have gone down while simultaneously skewering mainstream cinema for it’s stereotypical treatment of Asian-American actors. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Rampage should stick with beating people up, he kinda sucks as a rapper. Probably better than I could do, but that’s not saying much. Word.
