Randy is back and that rules!

 

That’s right boys and girls Randy Couture is back in the UFC. He has been out of the scene for 11 months due to contract disputes with the UFC. Randy has tried to move on to other organizations in order to fight the best fighter in the world Russian Heavyweight Fedor.  The UFC and Randy have put their differences aside for now and that fight very well might take place in the future.  For now, word is Randy will be fighting relative newby but Juggernaut Brock Lesnor and if Randy wins word is Fedor will be in the plate for him in early 2009.  

For those of you that don’t like or know that much about MMA this is like the Boston Red Socks coming back in after sitting out for a year. 

Steve Cofield reports that the UFC is holding a press conference today!

After 11 months of fighting in the courts it looks like the UFC and Randy Couture have buried the hatchet. The promotion is holding a press conference on Tuesday at Noon PT to announce a new deal with the heavyweight champion.

Couture is expected to face Brock Lesnar at UFC 91 in Portland in what could be the biggest pay-per-view show in the UFC’s history.

This Article Rules

In case you have not noticed i am a huge fan of MMA ( mixed martial arts or as many know it as the UFC)  I am also a big fan of farts, midgets, Pez Dispensers, hip-hop, weird indie rock and confetti. My mom told me she dropped me a couple times as a child explaining my OCDness towards all of the forementioned activities.

Anyways, MMA is by far my favorite sport, although many people may find it violent and extreme for their tastes, i find it beautiful, pure and  the greatest sport in the world.  I will save my usual diatribe for a later date. Below is a except from a cool article about the psychology of being a fighter

Blood and guts 

When the UFC’s top two welterweights, champion Georges St. Pierre and Jon Fitch tangled at UFC 87, physicality was on graphic display. The mental toughness of both men held the fight together. 

Fitch, known as a “grinder,” expected to take to the champion like a pickaxe, break him mentally and expose a perceived weakness in the French-Canadian that had been brought to the forefront in his monumental upset loss to Matt Serra in 2007. Instead, “Rush” beat the challenger’s eye shut under purple and red swelling. Still, he could not break Fitch mentally. 

“Jon, this is what I was talking to you about Jon!” yelled Fitch’s Brazilian jiu-jitsu coach, Dave Camarillo, between the first and second rounds. “The sacrifice — you gotta keep pushing buddy. This is what we were talking about.” 

As cutman Leon Tabbs worked on his face, Fitch heeded the words of his trainers. That, in part, carried him through the next four rounds. 

“Hey!” screamed cornerman “Crazy” Bob Cook. “I want no f–king kicking, alright? I want g–damn head movement, and I want you to get after him, OK?” 

“You gotta push Jon. Let’s do it,” added Camarillo. 

One man challenged Fitch; the other encouraged. The manner in which the two revered American Kickboxing Academy trainers approached Fitch revealed the balancing act that exists between teacher and student in MMA. All stages of competition can be damaging — the training, the fight itself and the aftermath. For a fighter of Fitch’s caliber, defeat can be a difficult pill to swallow. 

“If [American Kickboxing Academy is] going to take a loss, I’d rather do it early in someone’s career before they’re in the TV spotlight and all that,” Cook said. “It’s easier to recover from and forget about at that point. Obviously, every fight is the most important fight of your career.”

This Kid rules to much!

He’s so good at baseball the other kids won’t play with him, so they are kicking him out of the league.  He throws a fast ball 40mph!  That’s to awesome for this Connecticut little league team. Connecticut sucks balls! (I always knew it did and this proves it even more. What a bunch of pussies.)

 This article  explains more about it.  I say let him play or if he’s to good, let him move up to the older league. You can not punish a kid for being to good at a sport can you?
