A few updates on what's been going on in the MMA Twitterverse
RANDOM TWIDBITS
"Not a very impressive performance for Werdum or Overeem. The winner of this fight was Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos." -Joe Rogan
"I hope Cormier beats Monson so bad that the anarchist finally leaves this country he bitches about so much & heads to Mexico, I heR things r better there" -Brian Stann, is probably not getting a twitter bonus after this shameful tweet.
"It's everything ok with my hands, they are just a litle bit inflamed it's normal for someone who hits hard haha" -Junior dos Santos
"I had a car accident on 16th of July. I broke my left knee and it seems require surgery." -Riki Fukuda, had to pull out of his UFC bout. Here's to a quick recovery.
"so I was just named the 5th most controversial fighter in the world lol." -Michael Bisping
"Sorry I haven't been tweeting. In Vegas shooting TUF- I've been using all of my funny up on reality TV, card dealers and drunken whores... Joking about tv, card dealers and drunken whores. I'm using all my funny up on an overrated dirty-fighter with a snooty accent." -Jason Miller
"Wife walk into bedroom & says to husband, "Shall I slip into something that will make you smile?" Hubby replies, "Yes. A coma u c*nt!"" -David Haye, believe it or not, the pro boxer might be facing a sanction for this tweet...
MARKETING...
"I'm sorry that the brilliance of my words goes over your heads.I'm not going to stop being an eagle just because I am surrounded by turkeys." -Chael Sonnen
"Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy ringside seats to Wandy's next humiliating loss, and that's pretty much the same thing." -Chael Sonnen
"Half of a fighter's career is training and competing; the other half is marketing. Updating your "OK Cupid" profile doesn't count, Wandy." -Chael Sonnen, true, but it's pretty sad to see some people forced to stick to that other half.
WAR MACHINE IS GETTING OUT OF JAIL NEXT MONTH
"I'm in pretty good shape now, given my circumstances, but doing the same shit over and over again wears on you. Sucks though cuz options are limited when you're stuck in a cell 24/7. Just need to keep at it another month until I get out so I can hit the gym and be ready to fight ASAP!! I heard BAMMA is having a show on Sept. 10th and I really want on it! That's only 10 weeks of real training after 12 months of nothing but I'm confident that I'll bounce back quick and be able to beat some ass by Sept. 10th! F*ck! I hope I can get on that card! And once I'm in shape and got my 1st fight back out of the way, I'm gonna keep on scrappin' non-stop so promoters EVERYWHERE need to throw fights at me non-stop! F*ck fighting a few times/year - I'm gonna do a Jeremy Horn and fight all the time." -War Machine

There is a lot of crap laws out there that impede our ability to express ourselve and our ability to move freely about.
I’m sorry but a great example is that crap we put up with at the airports with the strip searches and the feeling up of handicap people. There is one airline in the world now that really learned about hijacking and what you have to do in order to contain it and that is El Al from Israel. Guess what they do, they profile. Oh my God and guess what it is successfull. But no we have to put up with PC bullshit and have six year olds padded down. I am as patriotic as the next guy and I love the USA for giving my parents a chance in this country but in this aspect I say Screw you.

Focusing on or largely excluding those with certain affiliations, of certain nationalities, of certain religious backgrounds, travel patterns and the like as Israel does would be a far more efficient and effective use of our resources, and minimize the delays to everyone else, but I don’t see it ever being feasible.
Yes, the government already has this sort of information (and far, far more) on everyone, but to openly acknowledge its existence, much less its use, is something that will never happen.

I live in Austin TX, and a shark attack scares me more than flying.
I’m not going to take the time to look up the quote but it’s something like “Those that would sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither” Also we don’t live in Israel so I don’t see why we should do what they do. America isn’t a war zone we don’t need to go to the same extremes as Israel.

Having flown El Al, I completely agree
They don’t feel your balls up, but security there is still awful. I had to deal with something like twenty minutes of questioning involving such illuminating questions as “Who is your rabbi?” and “What was your torah portion?” last time I went.
Freedom of spelling, for example.
Our freedoms have been fucked for 100 years.

Stann seemed like a bright guy, he really should know better than that. His comment reeks of ignorance, I have plenty of friends in a similar situation (Veterans that don’t take kindly to America bashing) and I don’t think any of them would have made such a comment.
What ever though, at least he’s a good fighter I’ll still watch of course.

is someone a "war hero" if they were involved in a war most of america doesnt want , was approved by congess based on lies and the country he was fighting in never attacked America until America invaded? or just a guy doing his chosen job?
The dudes that liberate Iranian and Saudi Arabian populace, and stop the terrorism support from streaming out of those countries will be heroes. And I hope they are Iranians and Saudis , not foreign soldiers.
I am sure stann isn’t a bad guy, he just doesn’t seem to read enough.
Questioning authority is the American way. This country was built by business owners that didn’t wanna pay taxes to a government they didn’t agree with.
Also I wanna see Stann vs. Monson now. Snowman by north-south choke rd.1
I hope that wasn’t too political, but stann said it. So I thought it would be ok to comment.

This statement is dead on.
As a member of a family with numerous veterans, including bothers, I myself never enlisted. Part of being a soldier is being highly indoctrinated to the point that you don’t question orders and carry out actions under the guise/belief/etc. that you are doing it for the greater good of America. How the hell else can you willingly risk your life for something that really doesn’t affect you at the personal level (barring some life event that prompted the enlistment).
What is interesting is once that indoctrination wears off (my personal family experience only), many of my uncles, cousins, and even one brother never wanted a thing to do with the military again and thought their time was pointless in affecting change. I think Stann has the whole “I am a real American” song playing on a loop to keep him in character. That’s his appeal, he knows it.
Much respect to soldiers either way.

That’s interesting. Thanks for the insight.
Militarily that indoctrination is improtant to winning battles. Thus following orders and striving to achieve its goals.
Thus indoctrination in that way is necessary for an effective fighting force. This goes from Ancient ROME to now.

Oh, of course.
Soldiers are made to act, not think for themselves, which I understand. I just find it interesting that wmuk’s experience with his family is one of disappointment and eventual rejection of all things military after they finish their tours.
Then you get other families that breathes and eats military and you end up
with a Gunny SGT for your father. OOORAH????

Don't beat yourself up too much
If America had suffered a comparable level of human and industrial devastation as mainland Europe did last century we wouldn’t be in the current economic position nor would we have the current cultural attitude. Militaries need two things to be effective: training and resources. The U.S. has adequate training and unbelievable resources. We also have a culture that’s generally positive to service and tradition which also helps.

Cajuns are French. Cajuns landed in Nova Scotia and then got caught in the middle of the French Indian war and got exiled to Louisiana by the British because they wanted to stay neutral and not help either side. So we kind of turned our backs on the French in a way. Many were killed. Some became awesome like me.
If you can't wow them with brilliance, then baffle them with bullshit.
But I don’t think there’s much gratitude since they shipped us to Canada of all places.

Monson doesn’t bash anyone. He doesn’t believe in war and he believes in the government staying out of peoples private buisness. Also in equality for everyone, not just select few. His beliefs are honorable and he is entitled to them. Maybe they aren’t completely realistic, but to call them ‘bashing america’ is way off base!

It seems so amazing to me thought that the troops deployed overseas don’t become aware of this issue once they are there and get a better scope of what is really going on.
Sorry but Monson couldn't north south choke Tim Sylvia and it wont happen to Stann
For the record a majority of Americans supported the war at its inception but over time it has had ups and down of oppossition and support. Just because we hear nut job like answer yelling not in our name doesnt make their political clap trap true. But was Iraq worth it. No. Did Saddam do anything this time around? No. Was it a personal war for Bush? Ya. This was Bush saying you hurt my Daddy. The only war I agreed with was Afghanistan. The Iraq and now LIbya is a bunch of bull. I hope congress enforces the War Powers act.

Don't see the justification for that opening statement
Unpopular as Sylvia is, the facts are that right now Stann hasn’t accomplished a fraction of what Big Tim has in his career. Sylvia actually had pretty damn good sub defence and was obviously far bigger and stronger than Stann.
The comparison is deeply flawed imo

So the guys who served in the SS during WW2 were war heroes?
They fought in a war. Many of them sacrificed their lives. Your logic would seem to imply that this automatically makes them heroes and noone has the right to analyse the situation any further than that

I have to disagree. You can have a war hero in a unpopular war because regardless of reasoning behind it, the men and women who do the actual fighting are putting themselves in harms way for the sake of others. They aren’t doing because they support the war, they are doing because they support their government and their fellow countrymen.
I am 100% against the war and believe we should leave both, now. But that would never stop me from buying a soldier a drink everytime i come across one.

Yes.
It’s not the place of the members of the armed forces to question their orders, they only need to follow them in the most efficient way possible. Stann did this incredibly well, and he successfully looked out for the lives of his brother’s around him.
Criticize the war all you’d like, but once the boots hit the ground, anyone who shows valor and skill in carrying out the stated mission and protecting his men is a war hero.
I'd like to ask you the same question I asked Sheikybaby above
Honestly not looking for a fight here, genuinely interested in what your opinion of that is

Yeah, they are
A hero triumphs the ideals of the society they represent. By that sense, they’re heros.
An example of this is the respect forces often show when they capture a particularly effective enemy. The Red Baron is still spoken of reverently in the US, even though he fought for Germany.

But as far as growing, training and maintaining a military, the military itself should be designed to function as a weapon that those in power can wield. When you go to work on your car, you don’t want your wrenches second guessing you every step of the way.

Pellegrino mentioned in his retirement statement that he disliked being away from his family for so long
Kennedy then made some comment pointing out that dudes in the armed forces have to spend longer away from theirs.
It came across to most people as very disrespectful towards Pellegrino as well as being both obvious and totally irrelevent

I tweeted Stann that what he said was disappointing and close minded and of course got flamed on Twitter by people saying Stann can say whatever he wants and if you don’t like America GTFO. Glad to see some people agree with me. America was built on open discourse between conflicting points of view and that is why it’s such a great country. Kicking people out because they have a different point of view destroys one of the best things about America. I expected better from Stann.

Conflicting points of view is the critical factor
That requires legitimate, sincere thought. It requires candid analysis of previous examples and honest discourse with a given level of civility and respect.
None of that is present in Stann’s tweet and that is what makes him look like a dickfuck.

True, and we are suffering the long, slow decay as our era of hegemony comes to a close a few decades hence…
Our republic has too many democratic elements to avoid the fate common to all true democracies (voting to open the treasury doors, so to speak).
That and the extremely short-term POV that our election system mandates our politicians to take, regardless of the consequences down the road.
Many liken it to “kicking the can down the road”, I consider it more like rolling a snowball down a hill…

However, it is fun to point out the people who constantly bash capitalism, but who live and profit by the same capitalism they hate and don’t believe in. Saying he should leave the country is certainly no less intelligent than spray painting public property.
However, since being Anti-American and anti-capitalism is cool and hip, people will stick up for Monson’s stupid ideas and and bash Stann’s stupid comments.

Lol i just did some research since from what you guys are saying it sounds like a remake of ‘Moon over Parador’ with Richard Dreyfuss.

Then the movies came out and….wow, Borat was hilarious and I turned Bruno off after about 15 minutes.

I like Cohen a lot but I hope they just let him act. I think they picked the right guy (outside of Russel Brand and…I don’t like Russell Brand at all) but letting him try to match Freddie Mercury could be difficult.

I was a fan of the Ali G show and Borat before the movie ever came out, so you know.. I thought the movie was definitely very good, but not as great as the hype would have you think. Like there were a couple of re-done themes and ideas from the original tv-show that they did again for the movie, only a little bit worse. So, like the pretentious snob-asshole I am, I would be a little annoyed by that, and by all the new Borat fans who never saw the tv-show. I can’t answer if I was stoned or not when I saw it though, but I guess there is a very strong possibility.

Online dating is rough but at least you can get some good stories out of it :)
Honey badger don't care.
Yea I got a few
Long story short: Met a carribean girl one night after getting lost countless of times in DC/MD. Petite girl with a short temper. Took her to dinner, tried NOT to acknowledge her lazy eye (she did first). She wanted to meet her friends so we chilled in my car for awhile. Took her home, got chewed out for not rolling with her friends. Rolled with her friends, drinks, bought her a flower and teased each other at the pool hall and in her friends car. Chilled at her house. Then told her I’d tried to see her again cause I was involved in a play.
Then she switched all of a sudden and figured I wouldn’t come back which I told her I would cause i was digging her. Then she said she didn’t want to see me all of a sudden and (this is all true) said that she might break my neck like she broke the neck of her first cat. I left, it was 4 am, low on gas, needed to use the bathroom, didn’t give a fuck.
Her latest picture she’s groping another woman and is looking real butch.

Tune every heart and every voice,
Bid every care withdraw;
Let all with one accord rejoice,
In praise of Old Nassau.

Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!

Can't remember the name of that old movie,
where they have a mongoose fighting a cobra (I think) in some sort of aquarium. We need some animal tournaments, maybe up to 50 pounds, 50-150 and open weight…
p4p I would take the honey badger I think…

No need, I am just hoping someone here can recall what that movie was. Early to mid 70’s I would guess, although that is not certain.
IIRC the cobra actually won because the area wasn’t big enough for the mongoose to maneuver the way it does.

“Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy ringside seats to Wandy’s next humiliating loss, and that’s pretty much the same thing.” -Chael Sonnen
Wanderlei had some tweets that I think were responses to this one but Babelfish translator failed me and I couldn’t make complete sense of them (well, I almost figured out the first one):
Man talk Face to Face ,have guys is mans just in Twitter
Depois que o cara leva um tapao ña boca,tem gente que vai dizer que nao sou profissional,eu sou old school,nao fala de mim nao vai dar merda
Maybe someone can translate for me :)
Honey badger don't care.
Looks like “Men talk face to face. He’s not a man, just talks on Twitter.” Basically, “If you wanna be about it, then be about it. Don’t keep runnin yo mouth before I slap the sense into ya.”

How awesome would it be...
…if 1) Sonnen v. Silva was signed, and 2) all Silva does is bitchslap Chael the entire fight and wins?
“After Chael gets slapped in the mouth, people will say that I am not a good professional, I’m old school, don’t talk shit about me or shit’s gonna happen”
Basically what he said, grammar mistakes included for the sake of realism. Wand’s twitter is very hard to follow, he retweets everything, has no idea how keyboards work and tweets too often in broken english. His twitter is like Vitor’s but without the preaching.
I love Wand and Vitor to death but they really need to learn how to tweet better.

I can't translate it but I can summarize it

It says “Katgirl, your twitter beef articles on Gals Guide are really good, and I hope I can grace them one day. Die Sonnen Die.”

- Chael wins. Note, no one outside MMA pay attentions to his tweets but he still wins.
- David Haye has a huge fight on July 2nd against Wladimir Klitchscko. No one knows except boxing fans. Sanctioned for this tweet, why? By whom? It wasn’t really smart to post that but . . . who’s going to really slap his wrist and say shame you David for being a naughty boy.
- Bisping is as controversial as actor Colin Farrell is a “bad boy”
-really? - War Machine!!! I’m going to miss those prison blues blog posts.
- Some one should remind Brian Stann that the Freedom of Speech actually means you have a right to bitch. You also have a right to not like it. He also has a right to spell incorrectly. #TeamAmerica = F*ckYeah!

Before and leading up to the Silva fight I actually liked Chael a little bit but now
He his just a troll. To bad The Axe Murderer is way, way, way past his prime or I would love to see him put Sonnen to sleep. Then maybe we could have 1 day without any lame tweets.
" Its like when I'm right I'm right, when I'm wrong I coulda been right, so I'm still right cause I coulda been wrong, you know, and I'm sorry cause I could be wrong right now, I could be wrong, but I'm right..." Bama
The thing that bothers me the most about Stann's tweet
Is that when he was typing the word “hear”, he hit the caps lock instead of the A key. He clearly realized it immediately, because the rest of the tweet isn’t capitalized. But instead of going back to fix it, he hits the caps lock button again and keeps on typing.
If he wants to be stupid, that’s fine, but don’t be lazy.

I think it’d be interesting if Stann sat down and talked with Monson, keeping an open mind about things. No, Stann wouldn’t suddenly become an anarcho-socialist, but maybe he’d realize why Monson thinks the way he does. And he’d realize Monson’s no threat to anyone — except a less experienced grappler in the cage.

There should be a scroll wheel
on your mouse.. right there in the middle. What you wanna do is swipe your fingers in a downward motion to pass the pics you desire not to see. Oh I see you’re on a mobile (Droid or iPhone I presume) Same action but there is no scroll wheel. Just swipe the screen in the same down ward motion. Some people act like Anton is posting pics of Marsha Winfield.

Brian Stann seems kinda ignorant there.
As a Mexican I don’t care that he throws my country under the bus here as that was just plain dumb to say, but what really bother me is that he seems to take a snipe at Monson for a misunderstood ideological place. maybe he should be more mature and just say “I don’t understand Jeff Monson,” and leave it at that.
That particular kind of mentality he displays leaves out the chance for any kind of dialogue to take place.

it is one of the most ignorant posts I have read from a fighter
especially coming from someone who sells himself as a well composed and disciplined athlete, he just embarrassed himself.
Stann seems to acknowledge ...
… that the Tweet came across a little worse than intended:
