Shiiiiit, he beat that dude's CORNER into submission! Now THAT's Bad Ass.

Now THAT, was a fight. Was it just me, or did anyone else see a towel or something dark get thrown into the ring (at canvas-level) just before the ref stops the fight?

(Plus, you could barely handle the double...what would happen if you actually did see a triple?!!)

I have two questions circling around in my mind: 1. I wonder what would transpire if the unimaginable happens tonight. What kind of a man/champion would Sonnen be? Will he show humility or continue on with the "show"? 2. In one of the translations, Anderson was quoted as having said something to the effect of...."as the fight draws near, all that trash talking will inevitably end up causing chaos in his own mind"...or something like that. I wonder just how true this will become. I would love it if we could actually "see" the innermost thoughts of these fighters as the time draws near...that would be true entertainment.

The "shame" is not that we can't enroll him in charm school...the shame is that most of us cannot just accept him for who he is, as he is. But most importantly, this has been an enjoyable banter back and forth...without racism, name calling or any other juvenile endeavor. Kudos my man...I enjoyed it.

However, pinning that goal to someone...any one...especially a person whose gift to the world is combat...is a recipe for disaster. Isn't this the exact hypothesis that the Military Industrial Complex operates with?! (Peace through combat...and how's that working out worldwide?) Your initial statement, "At some point people have to achieve a state of elevated consciousness."...is false. No, they don't. And you don't need to look hard to prove my point. It would be nice if they did, but there's no law against dying un-evolved...it happens daily. If we're going to start looking at prize fighters as the saviors of humanity...perhaps it's the mirror we should check for the problem. PS Here are a couple of "humanity saviors" as I see it: Bill Mollison and Geoff Lawton...the founders of Permaculture. Now THERE are a couple men I'd allow my children to look up to! PPS Mercs get paid to be discrete...otherwise they're not in business for long. (the exact opposite path of a prize fighter...just ask Skunk Stripe...aka Miller) And finally, there's a little irony in your comment about the Mercs "you know" being discrete...do you see what I'm sayin'?

Let's say all you Diaz "haters" are correct...that he's stupid, a thug wannabe, etc. If all that (or even a portion of it) is true, then he's made a pretty good living....with what "limited tool set" he's coming to the party with! Most stupid thugs end up dead or in jail by 21..Diaz is a fantastic fighter who's making the most with what he's got. Yes, you're right...he doesn't sell out. He doesn't look, talk and behave the way the marketing folks would like him to, but he's real nonetheless. You could turn this entire hate-fest around and use Nick as a shining example of what real street thugs could aspire to...someone who works hard (within a legal system...cuz make no mistake hustlin' is hard work) and makes a living honing the skills that may have ended them up in an early grave. Did you think about that? 2. Lest we forget the reason this video even aired...this skunk striped, bully beatdown, chicken bucket wearing self promoter jumped into the ring to interrupt a well deserved moment of celebration in the limelight for one of Nick's team mates (and when Nick says team mate...it appears he MEANS it...it's not just some term he throws around like that middle management lapdog at the office attempting to get more productivity out of you by using that word, and not knowing the first thing about what it would take to be a good "team mate")...but I digress. No, the point is...the self-promoting dipshit dove into a hornets nest and got stung. End of story...or at least it should be. Instead, you people are getting mad at the bees (or one of them). Now who's "retarded?"

If children look UP to the Diaz boys, who's fault is that?!! (a) the Diaz boys must have done SOMETHING with their lives to be in such a position that it's even possible to look up to them. I don't know, maybe became somewhat well recognized fighters...so much so that magazine articles, blog posts and videos of them get seen. (b) I find it repulsive when people absolve themselves from the duty of parenting. Even worse when a third party absolves unnamed parents from their single most important task as a human procreator....thoughtful child rearing. (c) If a kid looks up to Nick, have you considered the possibility that this might be a good thing? That without that kind of "mentor" in his or her life that kid would end up dead or in jail? No, you haven't. Because that end of the human spectrum of existence is unsightly and you'd rather not "go there." That's fine. But don't blame Nick for making something of his life....regardless of whether or not you agree with the manner in which he's done it. (Heck, he coulda turned out to be a debt collector for the Mexican mafia...and I'll bet there would STILL be kids who "looked up" to him.) Food for thought mi amigo Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:00:45 +0000 http://www.mmascraps.com/2010/07/nick-diaz-responds-to-mayhems-comments.html#IDComment89373455 http://www.mmascraps.com/2010/07/nick-diaz-responds-to-mayhems-comments.html#IDComment89369835 Respectfully, I have to disagree...Fresno is the shit hole of our wonderful state. From stockton you are least in proximity to the "civilization" of San Francisco within 1.5 hours. Heck, 1.5 hours from Fresno is a town called, no shit, Los Banos...for those who don't know spanish....look it up, the comedy is unmistakable.

A member of this "global" online community chimes in PRECISELY when needed...with no provocation. I appreciate you and your post....thanks. (I'm guessing Silva is waaay more eloquent that what us poor english only speakers get to hear) Sun, 18 Jul 2010 07:54:43 +0000 http://www.mmascraps.com/2010/07/anderson-silva-vs-chael-sonnen-who-ya.html#IDComment87275735 http://www.mmascraps.com/2010/07/frank-trigg-gets-put-to-sleep-by-judoka.html#IDComment87274409 You're right. But isn't that the point of a match titled "Wrestling vs. Judo"? I mean, to find out if one style or another has an "unfair advantage." Sun, 18 Jul 2010 07:35:02 +0000 http://www.mmascraps.com/2010/07/frank-trigg-gets-put-to-sleep-by-judoka.html#IDComment87274409 http://www.mmascraps.com/2010/07/backstage-with-joe-rogan-and-ariel.html#IDComment87274020 You're SO right. Joe's mind game is beyond 99 percent of the folks that frequent this "establishment" that he's frequently misunderstood. That dude LEE who posted told us his premise, or where he's coming from in one statement: "you can't have such a robust social life, and be happy. its an oxymoron" ...Says who? I mean, besides any entity or institution that doesn't particularly have "your happiness" as THEIR primary goal. It would seem to me that you (very successfully) argue the point that having a roust social life is one the KEYS to happiness! Anyway, I appreciate Joe and how he operates.

You can't stop a Ninja!

Dual large size posters of Chuck (one with shirt, one without) hanging on the wall of the office Dana was in at the beginning of this video. Can you say NUT HUGGER, Dana? Look, I'm cool with dude being your friend outside of work...but a poster?!!...and TWO no less??? That's borderline dude, I'm just sayin'.

I thought I saw and heard a respectful man who dressed like a President and answered questions with care and concern about how it would come across...not some T-shirt and jeans wearing, loudmouth, condescending, elitist with a chip on his shoulder...(not man enough to DO what his employees do...i.e. Fight). I guess it's true, money's not "good" or "bad"...it just brings out the "real" you.

Have weigh-ins the morning of the day of the fight. There's no way in hell people would be attempting to drop 20 pounds from their natural weight in a short time frame and have NO TIME to recoup prior to the fight...they'd be zapped of all their energy.
