A few updates on what's been going on in the MMA twittersphere.
Promoted from the Fan Posts by Kid Nate.
FIRST CLASS METEOR SHOWERS
"I like to leave a legacy, even if it doesn't last that long. Yeah, I fart in the elevator." -Mayhem Miller
"Watching the meteor shower realizing how little I think about space and how f-cking insane its infinite beauty and complexity really are... Bright lights streak across the sky, and they're rocks that came from millions of miles away to burn out in front of my eyes. F-cking nuts... there could easily be organisms and life forms in other worlds to complex for us to even perceive and impossible for us to imagine... The universe itself could be one gigantic super-organism. We think of the brain as being solid, but most of what we consider matter is not... There's massive amounts of space in atoms, and that same structure could be mimicked by stars and galaxies... The whole universe could be just an atom in the brain cell of another being which lives in another universe, which is a part of another atom..." -Joe Rogan. What's up, Joe?
"The more we know the more we realize we know very, very little. The mind-f-ck is never ending if your weed is strong enough..." -Joe Rogan. Okay, this tweet explains a lot.
"Our insatiable thirst for technological innovation might just be that our destiny is to create something that blows a hole in time... Our need to experiment and create things like the large hadron collider http://bit.ly/WbIrq could be because our destiny is to break space... Our purpose as an organism could be to create our own big bang, or something new and even crazier - the next stage of existence... Bigger, better, faster, newer... the marketplace fuels scientific experimentation - they build it, press the button - new universe is born" -Joe Rogan. Okay, sorry, I thought you were done.
"Ok I'm in first class, don't hate, I travel a lot so I get the upgrade, the guy next to me thinks I'm....... Kurt effffng Angle and he won't beileve me I'm not. Dam you TNA, dam yooooouuuuuu.." -Frank Trigg, who does kinda look like Kurt Angle.
"Getting ready to board plane to Mexico City....WEC in Mexico....It"s ON!!!!" -Reed Harris
"Tito n I are in 1st class n Chuck went by earlier to coach. Said his brother screwd up tics. Uh OHHHH lol" -Bruce Buffer
"I have a question: if you are sitting next to someone on an airplane with horrible breath, what do you do? I need advice here!!!" -Rachelle Leah
"F-ck!! Why does this keep happening!? Stop smokin weed and using steroids, please. You make us all look dumb" -Jason High. No, he wasn't talking about Rogan's colorful meteors.
1 OH 1! & FORTY TWO
"Flying 2 Texas today 2 see the family & finish filming the Countdown to UFC 103. Looking forward 2 watching UFC 101 this weekend with Mom!" -Mike Swick has a very supportive mom.
"Bobby Jackson and Matt Barnes started this event in honor of their mom's. Awesome event! http://twitpic.com/d4hnk" -Urijah Faber
"Me Joe and Ari on our way to the UFC weigh INS! Oh shit!!! http://twitpic.com/d28h4" - Eddie Bravo
"Bam Bam Bigelow would be proud of John Howard's hair cut." -Ariel Helwani
"just weighed in. i could really eat something right now..." -Forrest Griffin
"woke up a bit ago. trying to stretch out and get ready for tonight... trying to get centered. really have to be on point tonight. im not going to beat myself. never again." -Forrest Griffin
"Wish I had pix of the amazing cat fight that I witnessed tonight! Why is a fight in the stands more exciting than the one in the cage?!" -Rachelle Leah
"Early call? I mean c'monnn... What happens to a ref when he f+*#'s up a call like that?" -Rachelle Leah is not a Miragliotta fan.
"An Americn audience cheers for a guard pass?? Makes me proud." - Jason High
"I feel so bad for Forrest. I don’t even want a rematch anymore. LOSER!! http://twitpic.com/d8tn2" - Rampage Jackson
"Stay classy san diego" -Frank Trigg, on Rampage's tweet.
"To THE HATERS.. Don't say nothing on the internet that you wouldn't say in person. Cowards.." -Rampage, on people who didn't like his last tweet about Forrest.
"What is it w/ Forrest running out every time he loses a fight??" -Rachelle Leah. I don't know, but some people think he sold the fight. *rolls eyes*
"Me and George Sotiropoulos celebrating! Fuck yeah!!! http://twitpic.com/d9851" -Eddie Bravo
"Wow, Can happen to anybody.." -Jason High, on Miguel Torres losing to Brian Bowles.
"Congratulations to BJ Penn. He performed like a champion. Hope to get there one day. Thank u all for ur love and support. Love to all... Thank you again everyone. I'll be stepping up my game for sure. I'll be back to training next week. Gonna do some this week actually." -Kenny Florian
"I'm in Hollywood minding my own business & I look over.. & I see Forrest... he's still running!" -Rampage
OCTAGON GIRL
"Edith wanted to co-promote and Dana wouldn't compromise. RT @MMAZoneNL: @fightmagazine I think she joined strikeforce?!" -Fight Magazine
"Sushi with the girls and then Joe Rogan show!" -Logan Stanton
"New Octagon Girl must be enjoying her job. She hasn't stopped smiling at weigh-ins." -Maggie Hendricks. Can't fault her for smiling at muscle bound guys in their underwear, right?
"Lost in downtown Philly haha" -Logan Stanton
"The octagon girl diet. Dessert is a must! ;) can't resist green tea ice cream, strawberries and chocolate! #fb http://mypict.me/iuaQ" -Arianny Celeste
"The new @ufc ring girl, natasha: Caught her outside of the hotel.. Yup, that's logan sticking out her tongue.. http://bit.ly/TKPIw #fb" -Tracy Lee
TWAINING

"Fuckin Jacare is ducking me." -Mayhem Miller
"just finished training for the big fight! Jim Rome's crew hanging out for the day which was great. Look for the piece August 14th on ESPN" -Gina Carano
"Forgot to congratulate my buddy Hatsu Hioki for his win this past wknd. He couldn't continue to finals due to injury. Wish him the best! ...Hatsu has such a bright future. Im sure he would have won sengoku belt had he been able to continue. Hope to train with him again soon." -Kenny Florian
"Is about to train harder than @KingMO_GDP" -Mayhem Miller. That's cause you won't be fighting Mark Kerr.
"Brock's ground work prep for 100, check it . . . http://tinyurl.com/ryh7fq" -Brock Lesnar
"Unreal training at the ocean!! Academy at the sea. Munoz is going down to 185 for the first time. http://twitpic.com/dkasf ...Wow never seen Mark this ripped! He's ready to rock Portland Aug. 29 ufc 102 http://twitpic.com/djvag" -Urijah Faber, training with Mark Munoz
"Working with Minotauro Noguiera, Junior Dos Santos and their crew at the West Coast Wrestling Camps! http://twitpic.com/dbdi8" -Mark Munoz, with Team Black House fighters, Dos Santos and Big Nog.

i know it’s a couple of hours early, but I don’t have internet when i get home so i’m posting this now and you fools don’t have a choice.. ;)
i have vonage, and my net is fucked up because it isn’t working right now.. It’s cool that i can get free calls to the US at any time, but it’s totally un-fucking cool when my net goes down also when vonage isn’t working..
(that’s also why i haven’t been posting much lately.. sorry bout that peoples, hopefully i’d get my net up and running soon..)
—NOTE: jokes aren’t meant to be taken seriously. thanks. have fun. bye. :)
these tweets make me dislike Urijah Faber even more.

This round has definitely turned me against Rampage.
Between bagging on Forrest and dry humping that reporter, I’m done with him.
Why is Rampage bashing him so bad?

You must be looking for a reason to hate, then.
Bobby Jackson and Matt Barnes started this event in honor of their mom’s. Awesome event!" -Urijah Faber

… not a lot in that content to give anyone a reason to dislike somebody.

he just reminds me of a child. I’m not saying i’m justified in any way.
by P4P is a stupid concept on Aug 12, 2009 10:36 AM EDT up reply actions
That’s cool. I dislike some people for no justifiable reason. But even with that reason there isn’t really anything in those tweets that seems particularly child-like. Especially compared to the stuff Rogan and Mayhem and Rampage and … if anything, his tweets almost seem more mature than the rest.

You never fail to confound.
I STILL poop rainbows.

I don’t mind Faber’s too much, kinda funny “Diego just took off his shirt… I’m going home”.
But yeah, Rampage is kind of acting like a gigantic bag de’douche in these tweets.
Jason High continues to be awesome.

If you were Rampage
You could say whatever the fuck you wanted, too. I’d be pissed if I won a fight and had my title taken away.
I STILL poop rainbows.
by Blackout612 on Aug 12, 2009 11:54 AM EDT up reply actions
I don't have to be Rampage to say whatever I want.
And I don’t have to be Rampage to think its classless of him to take cracks at Forrest given some of his own antics that people have been respectful in handling.
Perhaps Rampage should think about the twitter possibilities the next time he goes on a 3 day energy drink binge.
It is pretty ironic that after Forrest beat him he went on a monster truck rampage (no pun intended). Especially since the truck had a huge picture of his face on the side.
"Japan is half-Machida" - iiowyn
You seem pretty upset about this. Send Forrest an email and tell him you’ve got his back.
I STILL poop rainbows.
I don't have his back, I'm a bit disappointed in him for leaving the ring like that.
I just think Rampage’s behavior in this situation is pretty sad given the fact that he should be able to sympathize with Forrest for a disappointing loss and the strange behavior it can evoke.
I guess Rampage is just even smaller man than I was giving him credit for before.
Of course Rampage didn’t win a fight and get his title taken away — he lost his title when he allowed a very close fight to go to a decision where reasonable minds could differ on the outcome. I guess it might be discouraging to see the same guy who took you to decision and got the win get absolutely owned by a middleweight and run from the ring, but it doesn’t change make you look any less juvenile to post tweets like that for the fans to either laugh at or think you a d-bag for.
by Kierkegaard on Aug 12, 2009 12:42 PM EDT up reply actions
I’m also pretty sure Rampage doesn’t care what you think about him. Maybe I’m wrong?
I STILL poop rainbows.
id be more pissed if i convinced myself i won that fight

or better yet your coach Juanito convinced you via Forrest is the devil tactic
Yes, time flies. And where did it leave you? Old too soon...smart too late. - Mike Tyson
i just spit on myself lol

I just glanced at the Trigg/Leah staredown and was mightily worried for a second about the continued health of her back.
"I see him beating Anderson Silva. I see him picking him apart. Him at a 131 years old...(trails off)." - Tito Ortiz on Vitor Belfort at Affliction:DOR
yeah I thought that was weird too

My version of hell:
Being in first class while Tito Ortiz is in the next seat.
Coach would be worse, but not much else would.
Oh, and I had no idea I was sharing a flight with Rachelle Leah..
War Rampage keepin’ it real.
If you see Mark Coleman in person, drop $5 on the floor and watch the fun as he tries in vain to bend down and pick it up.
So is Faber looking at fighting in the 155 division?
Yes, time flies. And where did it leave you? Old too soon...smart too late. - Mike Tyson
I was thinking the same. He’s definitely not droppin to 135 anytime soon.
http://www.fourouncestofreedom.com
I’d love to see him in the UFC’s LW division
Yes, time flies. And where did it leave you? Old too soon...smart too late. - Mike Tyson
by lovingmma25 on Aug 12, 2009 11:45 AM EDT up reply actions
he won't...
he’s bulking up for 145 guys that outpower him (brown)..
and lovingmma, no i don’t think so.. just cause he’s 160, doesn’t mean he’s going to 155.. he’d be wayyyyy to small for that..
by Anton Tabuena on Aug 13, 2009 3:19 AM EDT up reply actions
Random thoughts …
Only a matter of time before Faber is fighting in the UFC LHW division … fun times!
As for you Mr. Jackson … The only reason you didn’t run out of the cage like Forrest in your title defense to him was because you couldn’t even stand, let alone run :-)
Mirko Cro Cop for president of the United States ….
do you mean LW division
Yes, time flies. And where did it leave you? Old too soon...smart too late. - Mike Tyson
by lovingmma25 on Aug 12, 2009 11:44 AM EDT up reply actions
Nice ...
Now I have a clear vision of him bulked up yes, let’s ask Joe Silva for him to face the winner of Machida v Hua … well … *cough Machida .. *cough …

Anyone know what Rachelle Leah has been doing lately?
Besides hanging out at UFC events that is.
I love me some Sexyama!
Yes ...
She has been annoying the crap out of me, reading autocue’s on the UFC Undisputed video game, when you play Classic Matches mode.
by Rob J Nathan on Aug 12, 2009 11:52 AM EDT up reply actions
She could read an Anne Coulter book to me, front to back, every day for the rest of my life and I still wouldn’t kick her out of bed.
I STILL poop rainbows.

Has anyone know about the host of the Best of Pride on Spike? Not sure if she gonna be a good host.

Weo add to the tweet tweet
Yes, time flies. And where did it leave you? Old too soon...smart too late. - Mike Tyson
This is an example of a celebrity that shouldn't use Twitter.
She comes across as a bit one dimensional and without anything interesting to say.
true, but I am sure once the Pride shows start everyone will want to know what she’s tweeting about
Yes, time flies. And where did it leave you? Old too soon...smart too late. - Mike Tyson
