that wasnt a laugh of hilarity
it was a maniacal laugh signaling my approval of the transpired event – that event being a pompous, overconfident, underskilled, excuse-making douche getting what was coming to him

Him losing the way to feed himself and his family
it’s not like they took baseball bats to all his limbs. he can still go fight in other shows, teach at a gym, and do whatever else he can think of to make money

Allow me to join you
He might be a great dude outside of the cage for all I know but inside of it he has always came across as a douche.
I bet you knew him well. Other than the Varner/Cerrone knee situation, I see no reason he needs to be painted a douche or bad person. Some of you guys are too soft

Not shocking. Winless in 4 (although I thought he beat Kamal)
And decisively losing all three fights whether by stoppage or the Cerrone ass kicking.
Accustomed to mediocrity.
not terribly surprising
SSreporters literally took the words out of my mouth. 0-3-1 and even a 1-3 when you’re the lesser dudes joining the big leagues is no bueno

Not shocked at all
I’m guessing we’ll be seeing a lot of one and dones the next few shows as the newcomers and lighter classes sort themselves out.

Not sure about the FW and BW since they are new weight classes for the UFC
but I can see a lot of LWs from WEC getting cut if they lose their next fights.
Maybe you should have tried coming to grapple, Jamie.
by Tedd Welch on Dec 28, 2010 3:52 PM EST reply actions 4 recs
Well, yeah this seemed pretty obvious. He really deserved that win over Kamal Shalorus though.
He’s a solid enough fighter that I think Bellator could do something with him.

Can't wait to see Jamie fight again
He’ll be back in a bigger promotion in no time

You know what he ment..

is what he said.
What do YOU think he said?
Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold.
I predict more to come
With the WEC merger they’re probably in the filtering process. Who wants it more?
They made a video game about Yakuzas. It’s called Yakuza. And it’s about Yakuza
Never liked the guy...
…but given his history of being in some of the bigger WEC fights and his Kamal fight, I thought he’d be given another chance.
Former champ is now an out-of-work chump.
Think I saw a movie with that same storyline.
"A fight is not won by one punch or kick. Either learn to endure or hire a bodyguard." - Bruce Lee
na
damon was champ through the whole movie, even when he got knocked out in the end. But funny movie and even a little informative to how some boxing fights have been setup.

Shame.
He was a bit of a dickhead but he wasn’t a bad fighter by any means. He’ll probably be back after he puts some wins together.
OHHHHH! OH MY GOODNESS DID YOU SEE THAT?! He ran up the wall like a ninja and landed a high kick! Unbelievable! I've never seen anything like that, it's like something out of a movie!
by lowellthehammer on Dec 28, 2010 4:05 PM EST reply actions
I agree. I think he had a bit of bad luck. He easily could have beaten Bendo and should have gotten the nod in the Shalorus fight. Didn’t see the Roller fight.

I liked his fights...
Or at least the ones I’ve seen, though yeah he would’ve been eaten alive in the UFC.
Didn’t know Chris got dropped which is news I love cause I hate that guy. Not sure how he is now, but he was damn cocky when he was younger. I used to like watching his fights because I’d enjoy seeing him getting knocked out or tapped out.

I need to re word that one...
Because I’d want to see him get knocked out or tapped out.
His fight with Schultz was hilarious

He can keep smiling until after he gets cut also.

am I the only Cerrone fan on this site
The guy is a terminator, I love his style and I think he is one of the most technically exciting fighters out there. I think he’s going to turn some heads in the UFC, starting with Cole’s

I think he’s generally underrated and that the UFC’s LW division is generally overrated. I think he’s going to beat Cole and will do fine.

oh no, lots of people love him
and he can be an exciting fighter.
it’s his attitude and behavior outside the cage, and his intentional use of groin strikes to soften up opponents inside the cage that i don’t care for.
of course, the last time i said what i really thought about him, i got the banhammer. so i’m trying to be restrained here. :-)

I have this happen, but with Cub Swanson
Honestly, I like watching the dude fight. It’s just whenever I see him, I get this auto-exasperation going. No clue what it is; probably speaks to some weirdo hangup I have.
yeah, cerrone didn't look that good...
i can’t see him lasting too long if he fights like he did against horodecki…
Mozambique Drill
But if he fights like he did against Varner,
things might not be too bad.
Anthony Pettis is my hero, my idol, my whole reason for sticking with MMA for 5 year's. Off-the-cage ninja kick FTMFW!
good point...
i was hoping to see THAT cerrone against horodecki…hopefully that guy will come back to fight next!
Mozambique Drill
This merger
will result in many more of these cuts, which is sad for us fans. lets just hope that this also results in other organizations gaining more depth in their divisions.
What’d he do to you? Shit in your Frosted Flakes?

He did something far worse with my "Frosted" Flakes
Or was that Chris Leben?
Accustomed to mediocrity.
he slept with my girl, analed my mom and had his way with me… but the worst part is he never called back

sucks that he doesnt have a job
however he’s such a twerp
Jamie Varner is a Whiner but Strikeforce could use him
Strikeforce needs to pick up Varner and setup a match between him and Josh Thomson. The match is already somewhat built up with all the disrespect that Thomson has for the WEC Lightweight division, plus both guys can talk. Former WEC Lightweight Champ vs Former Strikeforce Champ. Coker/Chu set it up!
MUAHAHAHAH`
Man this picture and article is funny. I wish he could of least went to the ufc for at least 2 fights, so he could get smashed then released.
