I know it's been a slow week
but Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr has slammed “cage-fighting” over, you guessed it, the Jarrod Wyatt mess.

There’s some fat for you to chew on
Inhale deep, like the words of my breath—I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death
In the 1985 movie “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome,” Mel Gibson as the film’s hero is forced to participate in a bloody, to-the-death fight in a large cage from which he is not allowed to exit. The bloody fighting was performed for the blood lust of the applauding audience. This theatrical fight seems now, 25 years later, to have been a precursor to what has become a multi-million dollar entertainment industry known as “cage fighting.”
Cage fighting is also referred to as “mixed martial arts” fighting and “ultimate fighting.” While the organized aspect of the “sport” does not include among its attractions fights to the death, it clearly panders to the extreme violence craved by its large and growing audience in the U.S. and other countries (its modern rendition appears to have originated in Brazil). Single matches staged in large metropolitan areas like Los Angeles can net tens of millions of dollars for promoters and participants.
A recent episode in which an off-duty cage fighter murdered his training partner by cutting out his still-beating heart, has drawn attention to the violent and violence-engendering nature of cage fighting. The alleged murderer, Jarrod Wyatt, apparently had ingested hallucinogenic mushroom tea before the grisly murder of his training partner in Klamath, California.
You mean *this* Bob Barr?

A libertarian against two adults consenting to a competitive sports match? I wonder if the real libertarians will give him shit over his hypocrisy…
Ricky Hatton came closer to beating Manny Pacquiao than Marquez did to beating Floyd.

last episode of TUF probably is the best for this year
Last episode of TUF probably as good as it gets, this season is not that good at all, they should step it up somehow, but it’s the only reality show MMA out there so the UFC is not pressured to do anything to make TUF more entertaining
I don’t think I’m going to watch 115; it will be the first UFC PPV I’ve missed since somewhere around early UFC 90something.
what do you mean? Complaining about the line-ups?? Not really, maybe here and there I thought a card was weak; but the last half dozen or so I’ve been looking to cut back b/c of spending money going out and kept getting interested in the fights either b/c of the main event, undercards or a group of friends going; so I had yet to get a chance to skip one. So this is the first one I’m not really hyped for, so figure I’d skip it and go to 116.
I see, didn’t mean to sound negative if it came off that way.

Can anyone give highlights on Terrance.
Always like hearing what he has to say and I’m stuck on UStream.

I did.
For some reason the player is buggy. It stops for like a minute or so and then starts up 30 secs into the conversation. I did what I could on my end to clear it up, but it’s still the same.

Observations/questions on TUF and 115
Why is the TUF Finale after 115?
Why does Chuck need subtitles on TUF, and always has to be absent from early episodes of TUF, is Chuck okay? (drugs, alcohol, KOs?)
Yes Luke, Rich has had surgery on his face, I am a big Rich Franklin fan, go Ace, I hate to say it, but Chuck will win
ART OF WAR FTW!!

Art of War?
Art of War’s biggest star so far was Andy Wang rite? Not saying much rite, but Chinese MMA, gotta root for it, definitely!
Luke is already in the UFC
He lost to Almeida recently
