PrintThe day a mermaid cried.
-"I enjoy the right type of press. As long as it's not B-class, random websites." – Diaz.
"I've never really changed much. I just try to come in and fight my best to take the other guy out." – Penn using some foreshadowing.
"That’s the last person to be worrying about right now." – BJ Penn, when asked about Kim Kardashian’s divorce.
"Yes, then I suppose it is." – Diaz, when asked if this was the biggest fight of his career if he gets a title shot.
White Noise
"Carlos Condit has agreed to step aside and get the next guy," – White. Wow, what a nice thing to do
"Contrary to what has been stated, Carlos did not step aside to allow this to happen and would not just hand over an opportunity for him to achieve his greatest career goal, one that he has earned through his strong performances in the octagon. No option was given to him."- Kawa.
"I didn't call him up and say – look, I like Carlos Condit. I respect him. He's getting the next title shot. He said he wants to fight on that card too, so he's going to fight on that card. It was a good conversation." White.
"That'd suck," White, after being asked what would happen if say you schedule a fight with two fighters, then one pulls out with a hand injury and then you schedule a different fight and then the fighter had no hand injury and then he won that fight so you set up the original fight and then the other guy gets hurt?
Last I checked "Carlos is the harder fight." So I guess now he'll fight nick. Wasn't our choice and def not happy about it, BUT- Kawa, verbally flipping off GSP.
The Gatekeepers have closed the gate.
"If he's kicking my ass standing up, I'm going to try to get him pregnant." Matt Mitrione
"Do I need it anymore? I have two kids at home and many more things to discover." – Cro Cop, who has more things to discover, like wrestling and D.B. Cooper's money.
A walk to remember.
"Hats off to Nick Diaz. He's the man. Joe, this was probably the last time you'll see me in here. I can't keep performing at the top level. That's it Joe. I got a daughter and another daughter on the way, I don't want to go home looking like this. I'm done."- Penn. It’s refreshing to see fighters and athletes in general hang it up at the right time.
"I want to thank all the fans for their love and support. I have decided to take some time off to enjoy life, train and teach. I will keep you guys posted with what’s next."- BJ Penn

I know it’s not as good as the real thing, but no cover ever is. Feel free to add your own Faganisms and bash my attempt at TWIQ’s.
If you can't wow them with brilliance, then baffle them with bullshit.
LSU! LSU! LSU! LSU! LSU! LSU!
Are you planning to do this on a weekly basis?
For me personally, TWIQ was one of the best things in BE (among Judo Chops and other content), so to see it continue in some capacity would be awesome.

This is just a tribute. You gotta believe it.
The only way I could conitnue this is if Fagan handed me a golden keyboard and said “My will be done.”

I'd like to see it continue
in memory of Fagan. Just have that be a small part of the introduction each week. 4 words. It was a great weekly piece I always got a kick out of
"Here we are with Seraldo Babalu, you did an awesome job, saw why you’re a black belt in jiu-jitsu, getting an awesome submission there, I want to tell me what you see, let’s go ahead and see by the fight, what you saw, in the ring." - Tito (the Head) Ortiz - Great Commentator, or Greatest Commentator.
"GSP is me."

I disagree
This was nice, but I think it’d be sacrilegious to continue it in this format.
Real BElitists only rec ironically.

so now we have to go find our own quotes
rather than opening up BE and once a week having them all nicely and neatly aseembled together? because i wont ever do that. Fagans piece took all the work out of the process and that was nice. I will miss that thread. fml.

No need to explain anything. Awesome idea.
"No man dies for what he knows to be true. Men die for what they want to be true, for what some terror in their hearts tells them is not true."
good job
I purchased a crowbar and 3 gallons of Goof Off, worked for three arduous hours and was still unable to pry IKilled007 off Jon Jones' nuts.
I like it.
Better than usual, you just need more quotes! :)
Not a bad offering
Could use more snark, but I still read it so who am I to complain?
Run and tweet THAT! Follow me @fpiepho
Thanks for the effort.
It was solid, just needs more smartass:)
What's this war in the heart of nature? Why does nature vie with itself? The land contend with the sea? Is there an avenging power in nature? Not one power, but two?

“I didn’t call him up and say you know that title shot I promised you? I’m giving it to Nick Diaz. Then, Carlos didn’t say ‘wtf Dana, you gave him my fight with BJ and now you’re giving him my fight with GSP?, are you fucking shitting me?’ .– look, I like Carlos Condit. I respect him. He’s getting the next title shot. He said he wants to fight on that card too, so he’s going to fight on that card. It was a good conversation.” White said with a straight face..after all it was his assistant who called Carlos. When you lie and manipulate people close to you for your own beneift they dont call you a dirt bag promter they call you Dana White
Your beliefs become your reality.

In unrelated news:
No, even Ta-Nehisi Coates writing about the Dallas Cowboys is not enough to make me care about fooble.

Well done sir

Most of the time I am a rather quiet fellow, who likes to read about Philosophy, Mathematics and History, but like most people I also have a deep appreciation of sex and violence... - John Danaher
ITS NOT THE SAME
Business as Usual has a STACKED team. I mean, we could win with just me, but you know.
Who's Mike Fagan?

I enjoy the right type of press
This is the one I have, and it’s awesome!
I really need to get a burr grinder to max out my coffee snobbery, though. Actually, I’ve been looking into roasting your own beans, too.

Not bad
You wouldn’t hurt my feelings if you kept it up. I looked forward to TWIQ more than just about anything else on BE.
I'm gonna give you three seconds; exactly three-fucking-seconds to wipe that stupid looking grin off your face or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-fuck you!
