The planet may sporadically disappear from the amount of concentrated awesome at this moment in the space/time continuum. For those of you who don't remember, XARM is a sport created by the former co-creator of UFC, Art Davie. Essentially, two guys are tied by their left hand to a podium. The goal is to either knock your opponent out, submit him or defeat him in arm wrestling. Yeah, it's like the open-source version of combat sports. You sort of just get your win however you can. This year the sport had a reboot after going going out of business in 2008. Check out the first knockout from this year's season of XARM featuring Bond Laupua and Tater Williams.

the fact that someone was referred to as "athletic" in this comp throws all legitimacy out of the window

Obese guy losing his balance is now considered a KO?

Is Chaining them to a post for their safety so they don't hit the ground when KO'd?
Seems to defeat the purpose if they immediately force them to stand up before being checked on.

At 2:14 it says "Dangler Alert". Do they really refer to an unconscious man as "dangler?"

And a great medical staff consisting of the dude with the sun glasses to immediately lift you to you're feet while still semi-conscious.

Shit's wack son

When watching this I feel like I got sucked into an episode of Sliders where the Gracie family never dominated the UFC and Tank abbot, Keith Hackney were the pound 4 pound kings.

Condit has finished 26 of his 28 career wins. Nick Diaz has finished 21 of his 28 career wins.

In other words, stop dick riding.

Thanks for the stats homie,but you come to middleeasy and yous don't know how to take a gotdamnn joke? Meet me at the foxnews.com comments section dog and we discuss Bernankes QE3 decision and it's repurcuzzions on the dollar value and how printing money to buy Securities like bonds and mortgage backed securities is so different from printing new money to pay off existing deficits. .I 'll come at you lock n loaded, with stats and pie graphs yo. this guy.

It wouldn't only be a bad joke, but one that makes absolutely no sense since Condit has finished all but 2 of his fights.

It wasn't a joke though, it was just you still being butt-hurt about Condit beating your boy Diaz. Time to get over it already, it's beyond pathetic. Also, again, your boy Diaz has had the same number of fights as Condit, yet has 5 less finishes.

Saying GSP and Diaz would go to a 5 round decision even in X-Arm would be much more accurate. Especially since Nick hasn't finished a legit opponent since Gomi 5 and a half years ago.

Condit did win, he fought smart. What I was saying was the stats were true but useless there. This site is like the tmz of mma journalism. Anyone whose smart and have a sense of humor knows it might not be true, but the concept of it being true made the joke funny. Its an entertainment site, not news. Funnyis funny. I love both fighters, not so much gsp

Good comedy is based in reality. Saying a Condit fight is likely to go to decision when he has finishes in 93% of his victories has no basis in reality. It's like making a joke about the sun not coming up, or the sky being neon green. Basing your comedy on some alternate universe renders your jokes nonsensical and unfunny.

So, either it was a horrifically unfunny joke, or you love the way Diaz's dick tastes.

We might be debating on two different levels here.

Good comedy is based on reality, but it's also based on exxagerattion of reality too. The fact that it was his most recent fight made it somewhat of a relevant joke, even if it's absolutely false over his whole career. I don't know what your real sense of humor is like outside the internets but seinfeld was exxagerattion of everyday situations ( observational humor), always sunny, characters have extreme personalities, the office, michael Scott was a buffoon. Family guy etc etc.

So to call it horrifically unfunny can only be true if the writer was serious, DID YOU BELIEVE HE WAS SERIOUS?

Ps, u were the only one to bring up Diaz, Condit has a better chance to win against gsp than Diaz does, decision, finish, whatever. and no I'm a fan of condit and diaz but nuthuggers to neither.

If u can't take a joke on middleeasy of all places, u gonna be writing a lot of defensive comments and wasting your time.

This site, and most of it's fans, ride Diaz's dick like he's actually the best fighter in the world. If you can't see that, and don't see that that is exactly what Word2bigbird was doing, then I'm not sure what to tell you.

He's still pissy because his boy Nick was out-smarted by a better fighter, and like the rest of Diaz's fans, likes to pretend that Condit only goes for decisions and is a boring fighter.

I'm tired of butt-hurt little bitches, so I'm going to point out how pathetic they are every chance I get.

I vaporized Lapua's collarbone with a savage left hook counter, can't wait to take his title when I get out of the clink.
