what a great article. It's too bad it will take much much more and next to the impossible for it to be applied...
1. Rashad Evans vs. Lyoto Machida
After trying to railroad an overworked Quinton Jackson into a title fight with Rashad Evans, the UFC now has to deal with the reality of Lyoto Machida as the top contender to Evans’ crown.
UFC President Dana White confirmed Wednesday that Evans and Machida will meet at UFC 98 on May 23 but only because Jackson won’t be ready for Evans by then. It’s good to hear the 14-0 Machida will get his shot, but it’s still perplexing why he didn’t get a fair deal from Dana White and company to begin with.
Machida’s treatment was especially frustrating in light of his one-round dissection of the highly regarded Thiago Silva at UFC 94. If you’re going to hold back a top-flight fighter for being too “conservative,” an unjust stance to begin with, at least have the decency to give him his due when he does live up to the lay fan’s perception of what qualifies as “exciting.”
A big part of being a legitimate sports enterprise is cultivating an environment where turning a buck takes a backseat to the legitimacy of the sport itself. I can guarantee you NBA commissioner David Stern lets out a sonic boom groan every time the San Antonio Spurs reach the NBA finals, but you don’t see him keeping them out of the playoffs in the name of the bottom line. And you can call me Captain Conspiracy, but unless fans make a stand against semi-rigged matchmaking, it will be fans and fighters who end up with the short end of the stick while the UFC keeps printing money.

Rashad is going to fuck him up. He will get his ass destroyed, then go back to mediocrity, with the rest of the current brazilian fighters.Originally posted by bluntComment

either Rashad catches him or he is going to get schooled like everyone else that has fought Machida...
Thiago Alves is setup to go against GSP soon. That will be a hard fight for him. If everything goes well, you'll have 3 Brasilian title holders..Comment

I was at the gym (just now got back), and whos fat white trash ass does a shirtless lap around upstairs? Chuck Lidell. He doesnt even lift, doesnt do anything, just walks around the upper/weight area, arms out, cocksucker look on his face, and goes back downstairs.Originally posted by bluntComment

I highly encourage you to call him a cocksucker to his face. Be sure to have your cameraphone rolling. I hear he enjoys it.Originally posted by jflip2002 View Post
