i do have to say, the Shine 2 card is pretty stacked for a small show. Now if only i have home doing nothing on a Friday night. 10 bucks is a good deal for a potentially entertaining card.

It’ll be interesting to see Gideon Ray at 155.

by Nick Thomas on Sep 4, 2009 11:12 AM EDT reply actions  

I think I’m gonna buy the Shine stream and do a liveblog, if anyone’s interested.

by Chris Nelson on Sep 4, 2009 11:15 AM EDT reply actions  

Awesome! Too bad this card wasn’t put on HDNet. Hopefully the future ones will.
=)

by MMASuPreMaCy on Sep 4, 2009 2:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

Interested for sure

I’m leaning dangerously close to buying it myself, you have to go pretty far down the card before running into a bout without at least one person I’m interested in seeing.

I don’t think I was going to get anything accomplished this evening anyway due to all the football… and they’ve got Flavio Alvaro…

It ends in an armbar or a strangle regardless.

War Machine prison blog Week 13 So this week a guy in a different module punched a deputy. Most of the Deps here are cool but a couple really deserve a beating. Unfortunately the one who got hit was fucking 5 ft. tall, female, and nice as can be! Fucking lame! If you're gonna do somethin' stupid like that, make it count! Do it to one of the bully Deps on a power trip. Not a nice, tiny chick! Sucks, I hope it doesn't ruin her attitude at work & I hope she's okay. Anyway, AGAIN I'm back to working out daily. This time I'm not gonna stop though! I'm sick of feeling UN-Spartanlike! LOL! Seriously, it's crazy how fast I deteriorated! My 1st week here I could knock out 100 push-ups easy, 20+ pull-ups too. NOW... LMAO!! Fucking 50 push-ups is a struggle! And I can barely do 10 pull-ups!! Disgusting. I should kill myself! LOL! Fuck that shit, I'm gonna get back with it! So anyway today I got good and bad news on our gym in Austin. Good news is that the only other big gym in the area just went out of business so we're gonna have no competition! The bad news is that my two SEAL homies are having trouble securing the loan. We need more capital! If we can't get it then Ryan volunteered to do mercenary work in the Red Sea guarding oil rigs against pirates with his sniper rifle! Sick huh!? He'll get $1100 a day, tax free, for 30 days straight! 1 month on, 1 month off. So either way, the gym is still a go! On another note, I got a big, nasty cold sore (herpe if you wanna be a dick) on my lip! Ugh! I hate 'em. My Dad & lil' bro had 'em growing up but I was lucky not to. Then at The Citadel there was an outbreak on the campus from the barber shop & like 25 cadets got them! The 1st time was on my forehead but now once or twice a year they come to my lip! So gross! And everyone keeps asking, "What happened to your lip?" LOL! In the streets, medicine knocks them out quick but in here it takes like a week to see the doc so it's not even worth putting in a request. By then it'll be almost healed. Oh yeah, I read about the UFC FINALLY adding the WEC's lighter weight classes to the roster. SICK! Even sicker is now my boy WEC Champ Dominick Cruz will be the UFC Champ!! Awesome!

War Machine newest prison blogs: Week 15: So the past two weeks I’ve been unmotivated and lazy again. UGH! It’s so hard for me to stay active here. All I wanna do is sleep this whole year away. One good thing about being a lazy bum these past weeks is that all of the little nagging injuries I’ve had over the years, that never got a chance to heal cuz I’m always training, are going away. Once I’m free I’ll be a fully healed up machine! I’m sure once I’m back in the gym I’ll be tip-top in a few months time. Anyway, some dude hung himself in here yesterday! I guess he hated jail more than me! LOL! Crazy. Man, the boredom is really starting to get to me and every time I get a new book I tear through it in 2 days! LOL! I’m not good at taking my time with reading. To me, it’s like watching a movie and then pausing it all the time when you stop! I just get hooked and never leave my cell ’til it’s done! I really wish I had my laptop in here! Man do I miss the internet! Can’t wait ’til I’m back to mny real life… =/ Week 16: 4 months! The days drag but the weeks/months fly by. Weird, but I’m glad. Definitely not/can’t be fast enough though. Thanks again for all the gifts/e-mails – they really make it a little easier for me. Anyway, there’s this new Mexican guy in here – we call him the Mexican Private Pyle (Full Metal Jacket). Anyway, he’s a fucking WEIRDO! He talks and laughs with himself, but the weirdest, we all caught him face down on his bed, making out with his pillow, and dry humping his bed! LMAO!! In all the boredom here I have learned to cherish the weirdos here, they really provide good entertainment! Oh yeah! I am SO HAPPY that lameass Lesnar lost to Velasquez! SO HAPPY! I can’t wait to see it! Hopefully by the time I’m out, I’ll get to watch Brock get pounded on a few times! I also miss watching "House." I hear on the new season him and Cuddy are together again – interesting. Fuck I’m bored here! And my body is turning to shit! I have no motivation to workout again… UGH! It’s weird though, everyone comes here and gets fat, but me, I get skinny. Fuck! I can’t wait to get back into the gym! You guys are prolly sick of hearing it but I have little else to do but sit here and think of the shit that is eating at me. Anyway, my partners in the gym are using all their SEAL connections to get us contracts training the Special Forces & law enforcement in the Austin area as well as setting up seminars for us to train the SEALS in Virginia. All that shit means constant extra $$ I’m pumped to get the gym open! Man this jail shit is a big lame waste of time! So just FYI, I don’t write these blogs in one sitting, so if it appears that I am jumping from one thing to another it’s because I keep adding to it throughout the week as I see fit! Anyway, this week I only had like $4 on my books on store day but you guys saved my ass! The day after "stores" I got 5 gift packs! Great timing! And again, I really appreciate the support! Special thanks to Bill, Ozzy, and Donna who continuously look after me! All of you keep the mail coming too – I really like getting it! I try to write back to just about everyone. On a different note, I’ve been shaving my legs since I was like 15 and it got too weird having all this leg hair! So yeah, I shaved that shit tonight when we got razors! I know the boys are gonna tease me tomorrow but oh well… LOL! Makes me feel a lil’ more human and normal so it’s worth the harassment! I’m out. Gonna play Scrabble against @danawhite and then jerk off ’til it bleeds! HAHA!

War Machine's newest prison blog: I was just reading the newspaper and came across an article about lions in South Africa. It said that a place there raises lions in captivity and "hunters" from the U.S. pay $40,000 to go on the propery and kill the animals. Anyone who wastes 40 G's to kill a defenseless lion, in a small fenced park, is a fucking scum bag. Cowards.. Prolly the same kind of guys that get drunk and start a fight and then call the cops when they lose, claiming they've been "assaulted." Anyone who condones hunting large game like lions or elephants can stop being my fan/friend now cuz I hate people like you. Anyway, I had to get that off my chest, ugh. Let me tell you somethin' funny & gross. So all these dudes in jail have those thick, nasty toe nails, the yellow ones. It's fucking gross! But I guess when you spend most of your life in the pen you never really are clean, and that fungus goes rampid. Anyway, I'm terrified of getting that shit! Ever since I was 12 and got a case of athlete's foot, my dad told me to pee on my feet in the shower and I've never gotten it since! Well in here, I'm taking it to the next level, and every other day or so I pee in a bowl in my cell, and soak my toes in it! Haha! Sounds nasty but I DGAF! I'll kill myself if I had those nasty toe nails! UGH! I had a new celly for a few days but he's gone now, he was a cool guy, but I HATE having a celly! I love it when I'm alone like right now. It's way easier to keep my cell clean and just so much better all around. Others love having a celly but I don't understand it. I've always valued my time alone. I play Scrabble by myself too. I pretend I'm playing other people.. Mac Danzig beat my ass at a game last week but I creamed @bensaundersUFC! It's funny, I'm playing vs. myself but sometimes the score is crazy lop-sided. I guess there's a lot of luck involved with the letters you draw. Anyway, more next week. Thanks again for all the mail and gift packs - I really appreciate it! Can't wait to get out and put on some great fights for you guys! sdsheriff.net Jon Koppenhaver #10754342

War Machine's newest Prison blog "I got an interesting piece of fan mail this week. The guards wouldn’t give it to me but told me what it was. It was from Canada and included a letter, a piece of gum, and a dollar bill… lol. I assume it was from a kid, I asked the guards to at least give me the letter and return address but they wouldn’t… dicks. Anyway, I’ve noticed some changes here since when I first arrived. It used to be a lot more racially segregated. Like in the 1st couple weeks the Mexs & Whites very rarely even spoke to the Blacks and NEVER lent them things or traded with them. No Black EVER sat at another races table and we never sat at theirs. Now we always talk/B.S. with them, trade shit, and occasionally sit at one another’s tables. Every time a new person, of any race, comes into our module, at first they act all uncomfortable and try to talk about how it’s "supposed to be." Anyway, 2 days later they’re doing the same shit as we are. I can’t help but take credit for the changes! Basically, I hate all humans equally, so to me I just talk to whoever I am drawn to, if he’s Black, White, or Mex.. Doesn’t matter to me. Shit, I’d rather hang out with one cool black dude than 10 lame ass white ones, you feel me? After some subtle suggestions to me, that I kept ignoring, I guess everyone saw it easier to follow the trend rather than try and fight me. A big part of that I’m sure has to do with the fact that I’m a fighter but also that I’m likeable and a natural leader. I thought I was going to get my 1st write-up this week when I lost my temper and called a female guard a bitch… lol. She freaked out and had me put into an isolation cell for a couple hours but didn’t write me up, which is very surprising, but I’m thinking she decided not to because she knew she was being one! =) Man! My body is turning to shit! If there is no reason to stay out of trouble for me more! Ugh… I swear. It’s depressing. I’ve never led such a lazy, sedentary lifestyle – it’s pathetic! Definitely reason enough to NEVER come back to jail! God, I can’t wait to train/fight again! My coach Baret Yoshida sent me his instructional book this week so I could do some "mental training," learn some new moves and shit. But I’d give anything to be allowed to train just an hour a day. So BORING! So keep the mail coming! It helps take up the time! Thanks for all the support!"
