FROZE LIKE FRANK MIR IN THE HEADLIGHTS

FROZE LIKE FRANK MIR IN THE HEADLIGHTS: A complete lack of action when smothered against the cage by a stronger, tougher opponent...coupled with a look of impending doom in your eyes, that says, "Maybe, during training, I should've focused more on my current opponent...."

CARWIN'S THEORY OF EVOLUTION: Proof that 40 pounds of added weight room muscle does little to stop the same amount of functional muscle that has been amassed by a lifetime of wrestling and football.

BROCK-A-DOODLE-DO: When you realize that your future opponent, who comes and greets you in the cage after your stellar performance, is taller, wider, stronger, and more intimidating than you ever imagined. You wish you had realized this before you spent the better part of a year calling him names on Twitter.

More after the jump.

KOBE BEEF COOKED MEDIUM ST. PIERRE: Despite claims of being the "best Georges St. Pierre I have ever been," you produce a performance that is static, predictable, and the same as it's always been. (That being said, it's still pretty damn good.)

HARDY OF A LION: When your smack talking, your pre-fight theatrics, and your overall skill set as an MMA fighter fail to impact the outcome of your match, you engage your opponent in a game of mental warfare that frustrates him as much as being knocked down by a punch. Using the courage and the heart of a lion, you let him know that you would rather have a broken arm/shoulder/face than submit to his will. It might not affect the outcome of the fight, but god damn is it impressive.

THE UFC FACES CHARGES OF MONEY-SAUNDERING: Whatever under the table bonus that the UFC paid Ben Saunders to fight John Fitch was a complete waste of money. Ben Saunders showed the world what it looks like when an average MMA fighter steps into the cage with top tier competition and refuses to produce any offense, defense, or energy.

IF YOU ACT LIKE A FITCH, YOU'LL GET TREATED LIKE A FITCH: "How bad do you want it? Do you want to fight Koscheck? He's in your division and he's one of the best... There's no reason that two guys can't go out and compete against each other to see who's better and not be friends....It's over. This whole 'We don't want to fight each other' thing is over." --Dana White responding to John Fitch's request for a title shot

MILLER TIME: TASTES GREAT, LESS FILLING: When an entertaining fight that displays excellent grappling, wrestling, and striking...is overshadowed by an in-fight pep talk by AMA head trainer and Sopranos understudy Mike Constantino.

DIAZ OF THUNDER: Nate Diaz's training camp leading up to every MMA fight-- a regiment that includes being woken up in the morning with a punch in your face by brother Nick Diaz, running a marathon before eating lunch, going to the gym in the afternoon, and engaging in intense and brutal stare downs with gang members at local Stockton gas stations before going to bed.
