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...

Now it looks like after Yoshida's impressive win over Satoshi Ishii, dude is finally going to hang up the gloves and retire...but first, he created his own MMA organization to promote his final fight. That's baller. That's like an alcoholic creating his own microbrewery just to drink his final beer or owning your own personal third-world sweat shop just to make you a new pair of socks. Yeah it's a little bit of an overkill, but it's Yoshida. Dude has more Olympic Judoka bling than I have deep rooted problems with my ex-girlfriend. The fight is scheduled to go down April 25th and Yoshida's MMA organization, ASTRA, is a direct result of his frustration of dealing with SRC and FEG during the Satoshi Ishii Sengoku match that magically transferred to FEG without either of the fighter's approval.

You guys know Hidehiko Yoshida. Destroyer of worlds, gobbler of galaxies, jambler of Jenga towers. Dude was like a +325 underdog in his Dynamite!! 2009 fight with Satoshi Ishii. For some reason, people thought that a guy with a 0-0 MMA record would steam roll over a dude that went toe to toe with Wanderlei Silva, Cro Cop, Josh Barnett, Royce Gracie, Mark Hunt, Don Frye and Tank Abbot. To be fair, Yoshida lost against half those guys however, he did place a beatdown on Hunt, Frye and Abbot. The Royce Gracie fight was sort of strange. Initially, the Pride Shockwave 2003 bout had three judges who seemed to be pretty competent officials. We knew they were because they rocked nicely pressed black suits with matching bow-ties. In the middle of the first round, one judge was hauled out of the Saitama Super Arena due to what appeared to be a heart attack. We still don't know what exactly happened to the guy, but the match ended up going to the cards with one judge giving the fight to Royce and the other to Yoshida. The third judge was in the Tokyo general hospital probably getting resuscitated, so they called the fight a draw (but if you watch it again, Yoshida totally took that fight).
