Which thought are you more likely to have tonight?

velvet goldmine — Sat, 18 May 2013 20:34:13 GMT

"Damn, Rockhold's a bad motherfucker" or "well, I guess Belfort's earned a rematch with Spider"?

Which UFC-event would you show someone that hasn't watched any MMA before?

HeexX — Sat, 18 May 2013 20:26:00 GMT

If you wanted a friend to start following MMA, which UFC-event would you show them? The event with the least boring fights/most exciting fights.

UFC on Fox: Henderson vs. Melendez is probably my bet. 7 KO's. There are probably better ones though?

Dana needs to stop bullying the fighters

vb — Sat, 18 May 2013 20:24:17 GMT

getting sick and tired of dana and his bullying of fighters and treating them like circus animals. Dana, these guys are trying to make a living in the "sport" of fighting, stop abusing them with fines and threats, its bad enough so many have had there fight purse taken away for bullshit fines by athletic commisions, who happened to be run by some of the most corrupt crooks out there. Also stop trying to turn the ufc into a classy country club with rules and behavior control, whats next? are you going to start cattle prodding the fighters?

Give Back Pat Healys bonus, especially after most athletic commisions upped the metabolites in a fighters system

LEAVE NATE DIAZ ALONE, stop controlling what people have to say, especially in Nates case, after you stole a fighters bonus and gave it to a guy who elbowed a woman in the head.

These guys are fighters, and if some chose to be classy or not, it shouldnt be your concern, this isnt etiquette school, its cage fighting. And if your so worried about how fighters speak, then lead by example and stop dropping f bombs in every interview you do.

Fights that lived up to the hype

quickneasycat1 — Sat, 18 May 2013 20:16:50 GMT

Rewatching UFC 79 and even though it was a few years late, the Chuck Wanderlei was sick. I would have liked to have seen a finish, but it still lived up to the hype imo. What's some other fights that lived up to the billing?

Any other "Christians" not really a fan of Vitor?

xSoCalKidx — Sat, 18 May 2013 20:12:16 GMT

I grew up as a Christian and still consider myself as a person of faith. But, I'm not all that crazy about Vitor! I used to be a big fan in the beginning, but recently, he's become pretty annoying! He's now like one of those annoying adults, suffering from mid-life crisis, and his Jesus talk doesn't seem all that sincere/filled with love. It's more angry and with ill-intent. Ever since he has started using TRT, he's been acting like a 21 year old, do not even get me started about his haircuts. All I'm saying is, I miss the respectful, adult Vitor and I hope Rockhold lays him out tonight. I know it seems hypocritical that I want a fellow Brother in Christ to get destroyed, but hey -- his attitude and haircuts have really pissed me off lately!

LET'S GO ROCKHOLD,

Pro Wrestling Discussion 86: Rubbing our crotch in the Ring Announcer's face!

Smigg — Sat, 18 May 2013 19:57:58 GMT

NOTE: Any fuck-knuckle who decides to troll the thread will be Baton-raped by the mods (they're Unstoppable), so before you decide to post your "witty" remarks that make you feel like you're "Fuckin' Hardcore MMA, bro" to strangers on the internet, remember these things:

1) Yes, everyone knows that this isn't "real", it takes a moron to think wrestling is real, but it takes an even bigger, estrogen filled, sandy vagina having moron to point out that it isn't.

2) The sport that you think makes you so "Fuckin' Hardcore, Bro" wouldn't exist in it's current form, and with a fraction of the popularity, without the stuff in this thread.

3) Before you say "Shit's gay", remember that you watch a sport where half naked men lay in between the legs of another man, who will sometimes attempt to wrap the aforementioned legs around their head, with his crotch in their face, as well as Rear Naked Chokes, Full Mounts, Taking the Back and a 69 position that has to be called "North-South".

UFC/MMA quotes on fear

keepfighting — Sat, 18 May 2013 19:35:32 GMT

One of the best ones I've seen is GSP, who is very open about admitting that he's afraid to fight, but still does it:

Your body can dictate your mind, so when I walk to a fight a lot of times I'm scared, I'm scared to death, I have a lot of doubts of myself, I'm afraid to fail, I'm afraid to be humiliated in front of everybody; but what happens, I act like it's impossible for me to fail and that my victory is a certainty. So as I'm walking to the Octagon and I act with confidence my body takes over my mind and I become confident for real. As I'm walking I see the change in my mind and when I reach the Octagon I'm a different person, I'm very confident.

Anyone part of Narcotics Anonymous?

Aspire2Inspire — Sat, 18 May 2013 19:35:31 GMT

If so what was your drug of choice, how much clean time do you have and what step are you working?

Cocaine and Marijuana
31 days (just coming back after having 4 1/2 months clean)
After completing an assignment for 60 days, I will be on the 4th step.

Other than that, how do you, who are and aren't part of the program of NA (or any of the Anonymous programs) feel about the 12 steps?

I had a hard time my first go-around because I was into atheism and literature based on that, and the mention of a personal god made me uncomfortable.

However I've grown to accept the process of bettering myself by living a life based on spiritual principles...and am actively involved in the NA fellowship.

I'm curious as to what you 'normies' feel about this:

Do you feel addiction is a disease?
Do you feel the 12 step program is a cult?

Episode 4 - UFC on FX8

Jayo — Sat, 18 May 2013 19:25:23 GMT

Episode 4 just dropped breaking down the main card, speaking on champion vs champion fights, etc

Thanks to everyone that's been rockin with me. As of yesterday the stats from Stitcher Radio and the podcast directories I can actually pull stats from put me over 800+ podcast downloads on the first 3 episodes in the first month. 300+ on Stitcher Radio alone w/ no iTunes stats included. Mind you I am included in almost every directory I could find but that's also because I bust my ass to be there. So I appreciate the love, it's more than I anticipated. If I can pull some small sponsors soon through these numbers I'll try and have a little contest or give-a-way as a thank you.

Episode 5 will drop May 21st including guest Clyde James
Episode 6 date is still TBD and I'm looking into another guest as I type this
