If I only had my recorder when I met Antonio McKee at The Ultimate Chaos. McKee says exactly what's going through his head at any given moment. That's his thing. He's an unfiltered stream of consciousness and I should have realize this before I walked up to him. I asked if he had any beef with ...
I couldn't go to bed without telling you guys two things that happened earlier this morning. Andy Dick was pumping iron at the gym I go to in Hollywood and the dude was sober. I contemplated taking a picture of him, but whenever a man takes a picture of another man in West Hollywood, it has far di...
There's a special place in hell for people that drink, drive and destroy a parked Daewoo Lanos and wherever that place is, Mariusz Pudzianowski will be there to greet you by squeezing your head until it pops like a grape. The penalty for destroying the Daewoo is death by The World's Strongest Man ...
In the never ending battle of really cool full names, JZ Cavalcante has already defeated Josh Thomson. Actually, JZ's real name is Gesias Cavalcante Souza and all of those names could defeat your name in an imaginary universe in which names could battle to the death. Fortunately for guys like Ben ...
Alright, let's play a quick little game. I'm setting the amount of profanities emitted from Dana White's mouth in this short clip of TUF 12 at five, all of which beginning with the letter 'F'. Now do you believe that it will be under that number, or over that number? You can even make this a drink...
As an adult, I can’t afford a car so I ride a bicycle around NYC, but when I was a teenager I was really into cars. Back then, all I could afford was a Volkswagen Golf with some chrome rims and a broken catalytic converter. It was loud and annoyed my parents, but everyone else thought I had so...
Let me preface this by saying Mauro Ranallo owes me either a meatloaf or a quarter-chicken meal from Boston Market. I'm not going to go into the details of the arrangement, but Mauro knows. Dude has been ducking me since 2009. If, at some point in your life, you run into Mauro Ranallo, just let hi...
This morning while I was slap-chopping my way to tuna sandwich greatness, I found out Todd Duffee was cut from the UFC. I cried. My eyes welled up and overflowed with tears. I know, you’re thinking that’s an overly emotional reaction to have towards a fighter getting the axe from the UFC -- an...
Leave it to Papa Noons to teach a couple of pencil neck geeks how a real man lives. That's an indirect quote from someone that read my Downtown LA afterparty story where KJ Noons' dad stole my iPhone and nearly choked me out at a bar. Carl Noons was the sole reason why I didn't attend Strikeforce ...
These guys at UFC 115 stole hats with the quickness that can only be replicated by the amount of time it would take me to run away from an extraterrestrial if I saw one in a dark alley. George St. Pierre's greatest fear is to be abducted by aliens and I completely understand what he means. Lookou...

Sumotori Asashoryu, the Michael Jordan of Sumo, just retired last week and immediately Sengoku and Dream are eyeing him with some interest to join their respective rosters (Super Hulk Tournament 2010 anyone?). Asashoryu holds Sumo's highest title of Yokozuna and has won twenty five emperor cups! To put that in MMA terms he has won the equivalent of an open weight tournament that is filled with the top fighters 25 times. That's pretty awesome considering the guy is only 29 years old. The bummer side of this intriguing prospect are the allegations that he drunkenly broke some dudes nose last month and that is the main reason he is retiring from the sumo game. However, that doesn't mean MMA is out of the question for the grand champ. [Source] Check out a few of Yokozuna's incredible wins from a few years ago. As a reminder, in Sumo rules if any part of your body touches the mat, you are done. Asashoryu is in black.
