Bas Rutten once stepped on Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher's foot in a club. Bas was very apologetic but Brian was heated and wanted to take it outside. Bas said okay and before they got out the door Brian's manager or someone else close to him informed him Bas was the UFC heavyweight champion. Brian immediately apologized and all was well.
 
Rampage told a story of how when during a grappling workout with Tito he tapped out several times because Tito was wearing loose shorts with nothing underneath and and kept positioning himself so his sack was in the vicinity of Rampage's face. Rampage kept tapping out and got pissed at Tito who thought it was funny and kept doing it.

I saw Bas tell that story once on The Best Damn Sports Show Period, I couldn't stop laughing. Urlacher almost got more than he bargained for.
 
Tanks Abbot was at a show in Tijuana drunk and calling people out, a young Brandon Vera accepts the challenge gets in the ring takes off his shoes..apparently the promoter wouldn't let it happen. There was a video floating around back in the day.

Tank once drunkenly gave a speech to some troops set to go over to iraq.

He said "I only wish I could go with you... AND KILL HADJIS!!!" Which popped the crowd.

Thanks for posting that one, I had never seen that fight before. Good shit lol, and the commentary is hilarious. Fucking tremendous.
 
Not salty at all. Conor is a good fighter but there is no way he gets that belt if he has to fight Khabib and Tony. Conor is not the best LW and we know this he just had a lot of help from the UFC.
Neither of them were the champ at the time though, at that time he beat the beat in the division a guy who beat RDA. I know what your saying but hindsight in MMA is bullshit because everyone is the best till they loose and then they're over rated and need to retire according to sherdog.

Guy Mezger

In spite of the fact that Guy Mezger retired seven years ago this month from active MMA competition, the 44-year-old former Lion�s Den fighter proved recently that he is still a badass.

Mezger, who is the president of HDNet, stepped in to offer assistance to a woman who was being roughed up by her boyfriend outside a Dallas sports store the week before Christmas and soon found himself in a fight with the angry beau.

According to the UFC 13 tournament winner, most of the onlookers just stood and gawked as the angry man repeatedly pushed the terrified woman to the ground while hurling obscenities at her, so he decided to try to diffuse the situation by stepping in between the pair and talking it out with the attacker. The next thing he knew, the guy was rushing him.

Big mistake.

�He wasn�t a big guy. He was maybe 150, 160 pounds. I�m presently about 200, 210 give or take, so I figured my physical size would be somewhat intimidating to him, which it wasn�t. I said, �Listen, the cops are called,� and he said, �You called the cops?� I was like, �Yeah,� and he starts coming at me. It�s funny because he didn�t know how to fight,� he explained to radio host Bob Carson on Carson�s Corner last night. �It was hilarious, actually. I just kind of grabbed him and held onto him with an overhook on the right side and he was trying to hit me with his left. I�m like, �Hey buddy, settle down�calm down,� and all this stuff. He tried to bite at me and then he tried to grab my nuts with his left hand. Then I just had enough, so I did a head-and-arm-throw. [It's] one of my better throws. We hit the concrete and it knocked him out.�

After the brief �fight,� Mezger went to check on the woman to make sure she knew she was safe now and to see if she was hurt. In the meantime, the guy he just KO�ed came to and was even more incensed than he was before.

�I didn�t expect him to get up. I figured [he'd do] one of two things: he�s either back off and talk ****, which I expected because he got handled pretty east, or he�s coming. I was acting like I wasn�t really paying attention, but I was paying attention. Somehow in there he pulled a knife out, but I really didn�t see it because I really was paying attention up until then. I work with law enforcement and I work with our military. I have a contracting company that teaches hand-to-hand [combat]. I might even consider myself an expert at it. I didn�t see him pull it out,� he recalled. �He came at me and I knew he was coming, so I kind of pushed him away and side-stepped. He was throwing a really kind of wild punch, which I thought was a punch � I didn�t know he had a knife in his hand � and I kind of blocked it with my left and hit him with the right and knocked him out again. When he fell down, the knife fell out of his hand and I was like, �Oh, ****. I got lucky. I could have got stuck.� I didn�t even see it. When I looked at my hand I saw a little bit of blood, so I just put pressure on it. I didn�t realize how bad it was.�

The crazy thing is, in spite of getting KTFO TWICE, the dude woke up and tried to attack Guy again.

�I went back over to the girl and picked her up because I accidentally pushed her when I was trying to get her out of the way and the guy starts rolling over crawling towards the knife. I kicked the knife about two or three feet away and he started crawling towards it, so I had to go after him again,� Mezger said with an incredulous laugh. �I swear to God, just as I punch him in the face to knock him out the third time, the cops pull up and they pull out their tasers and I�m like, �No good deed goes unpunished.� I got tased for trying to help this chick out. [No], I didn�t get tased. Things got worked out. [I was] like, �I�m the good guy, not the bad guy.� That was basically it.�

After giving his statement to police, Guy went to the local hospital to get his hand stitched up. That�s when he first realized just how badly injured he really was.

�I didn�t see the knife. That�s the reason I got caught the way I did. I didn�t see the knife until� I mean, he had slashed me on the hand and I didn�t feel it. It�s not because I�m a tough guy, I just really seriously, honestly didn�t feel it. This is the most amazing thing because he sliced through three of my tendons [of my hand] and it never hurt. When I went to the emergency room, I was just trying to get in there and get out because my son had a soccer game and I didn�t want to miss it and I also had my company�s � my company that I own�s Christmas party. I was the only one in the emergency room and then a guy came in with an aneurysm, so I knew that I wasn�t going to get seen, so I said the nurse, �Hey, could you Steri-Strip this for me and I�ll come back tomorrow and get stitches?� So they were like, �Okay, let�s look at it.� When they were looking at it I saw my tendons and I was like, �Oh goodness,� and I shot a photo of it on my phone,� he explained. �I called a surgeon buddy because his partner is one of the best hand surgeons in Texas and I thought I could see my tendon hanging out, so I sent him the picture and I was like, �Hey, can you get me an appointment?� So I hadn�t even seen the emergency room doctor yet and I had an appointment with the best hand surgeon in Texas, and he said to go ahead and plan for surgery on Tuesday. So I was actually taken care of really well. It happened Sunday, Monday I got to see [the surgeon], Tuesday I had the surgery and I�ve been on the mend since then and they say I can expect a one hundred percent recovery.�

The craziest part is that this is the fourth time Mezger has incurred a knife wound in his life. I don�t even know if I know anyone where I live who has been stabbed once and Guy has gotten stuck or slashed four times. Remind me not to vacation in Texas.

�This is not the first time [I've had a knife pulled on me]. I had a rougher upbringing than most guys. I�ve been stabbed before. I have a pretty good knife wound on the palm of my left hand, and one on my face, and I got stabbed in the hip once. It�s not my first time, but you never get used to it and act like nothing happened. I think the reason I was so calm and cool about it was that I didn�t actually feel it and I didn�t see the knife until it fell out of his limp hand,� Guy said. �I�ve been very reflective about it since it happened because I kind of had a similar incident about eight or nine months ago and my wife was like, �You�ve got to stop doing **** like this. Let somebody else be Captain America.� So I was like a little concerned about her and I had to plan out how I was going to tell her. Really, what it was is I�m a father now. I�ve got an older son who�s grown, but I�ve got two younger children and I�ve got a beautiful wife and I was thinking, �Man, I got lucky.� It�s very tough to remember everything that happens in a fight. You think you remember, but generally it�s not how it really happened. I think he was really throwing that shot at my neck, which is how I got cut. Obviously, it could have ended in a much more serious situation. I�m just grateful that it didn�t.�

The story does have a happy ending, though. Apparently the scumbag with the knife had an outstanding warrant for a parole violation, which coupled with this incident will likely ensure that he�ll be behind bars for the next five to ten years.

�Your biggest fear is that the girl isn�t going to press charges, but she�s been extremely grateful since it happened. Apparently this guy had been terrorizing her all day and terrorizing her three-year-old daughter, so they�re throwing the book at him,� Mezger says. �There was actually an outstanding warrant for him for a parole violation, so he�s been in prison before. This is not an �A-class� citizen we�re dealing with. This is a guy who�s a pretty vicious little bastard and he gets to go back to prison and probably get another five or 10 years tacked on him, so good riddance. Hopefully they�ll keep him in there next time.�

Guy is one of the nicest and most humble people in the sport. He sends me a birthday wish every year on Facebook and I�ve never actually spoken to him, which says a lot for the character of a dude who is as busy as he is and is the president of a television network. Hell, I have relatives who don�t bother to send their regards on my birthday.

Hearing that he didn�t hesitate to be a Good Samaritan to someone in need doesn�t surprise me one bit. Thankfully it ended how it did.
 
Japanes all time great Hayato 'Mach' Sakurai does have a sextape floating around on the internet...true story!
 
Silva's manager ducked Weidman hard for almost two years. They were spooked.
Yes I agree, Weidman looked like the GOAT in his amazing performance against Maia. And he even beat Jesse Bongfelt, the true GOAT of the division! That is why Silva was scared to fight him.

Joke aside, you have to be a complete idiot if you actually believe what you wrote - the first time Weidman looked good against quality competition was when he beat Munoz. After that, he was next in line to fight the champ. Not a single person in the entire world (except you) were of the opinion that he should fight for the title before then.

Poor Mezger, where´s your KO power...
 
Can I assume Joe Riggs and Nick Diaz incident has been mentioned?
 
That’s funny about Hoger

But he couldn’t be a nicer guy. I used to see him at a lot of poker games in Houston.
He also said that the TUF production team put him up to stealing people’s shit, which I actually believe.

Silva and Co. made endless excuses why they didn't want to fight the Chris. They pushed the fight off over and over. There were numerous articles and threads about it.
 
LA Giant Corey Peterson

LA giant was a 7 foot tall guy with sketchy tats to say the least,and got beat the fuck out of by Sergei Kharitonov and was never seen again.
