MMA Video Tribute: 9 ‘Falling Tree’ Knockouts

MMA News Briefs: Lesnar, Kimbo, Megadeth + More


(LOFL!)

Brock Lesnar has brought in seven-time BJJ world champion Rodrigo “Comprido” Medeiros to help out with his ground game in preparation for his match against Heath Herring at UFC 87 (August 9th, Minneapolis). Lesnar by flying cockswordplata?

UFC: Silva vs. Irvin is now officially listed on UFC.com’s events page, while UFC 88 (September 6th, Atlanta) has been dubbed “Breakthrough”; no matches are listed yet other than the Liddell/Evans headliner.

Fightline.com reports that Jared Shaw has confirmed Kimbo Slice and Brett Rogers will fight in October. The fight will “more than likely” take place on CBS. A Nick Diaz/KJ Noons match is being discussed as a co-main event for the same card.

Affliction: Banned will feature a performance by Megadeth (!), who will be rockin’ out at key points throughout the event. Hopefully that means they’ll be playing the end of “Peace Sells” during Fedor’s ring entrance, and then “Killing Is My Business” during the main event fight itself.

— A “Japan and South Korea friendship event” called Kakutougi Taikai GLADIATOR has been scheduled for August 16th in Okayama, Japan, featuring a headlining bout between crusty American legend Don Frye and Japanese middleweight Ikuhisa “The Punk” Minowa, aka “Minowaman.” Minowa is no stranger to freak show bouts, as he already holds wins over Paulo Cesar Silva, Eric “Butterbean” Esch, Bum Chan Kang, and Phil Baroni.

    Damn, so Brett Rogers just whined and trash-talked his way into a main event slot on CBS? I gotta try that...

    Hello me, meet the real me And my misfit's way of life A dark black past is my Most valued possession Hindsight is always 20-20 But looking back it's still a bit fuzzy Speak of mutually assured destruction Nice story, tell it to Readers Digest! Feeling paranoid True enemy or false friend Anxiety's attacking me and My air is getting thin I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet. I'm chomping at the bit, and my Palms are getting wet Sweating bullets! Hello me, it's me again You can subdue, but never tame me It gives me a migraine headache Thinking down to your level Yea, just keep on thinking it's my fault And stay an inch or two outta kicking distance Mankind has got to know His limitations Feeling claustrophobic Like the walls are closing in Blood stains on my hands and I dont know where I've been I'm in trouble for the things I havent got to yet Im sharpening the axe and my Palms are getting wet Sweating bullets! Well, me, it's nice talking to myself A credit to dementia Some day you too will know my pain And smile its blacktooth grin If the war inside my head Wont take a day off I'll be dead My icy fingers claw your back Here I come again! Feeling paranoid True enemy or false friend? Anxiety's attacking me And my air is getting thin Feeling claustrophobic Like the walls are closing in Blood stains on my hands and I dont know where I've been Once you committed me Now you've acquitted me Claiming validity For your stupidity I'm chomping at the bit I'm sharpening the axe Here I come again, whoa! Sweating bullets!

    @ Matt Herpes: If I see the morning hours Ill have one more yesterday Take life from tomorrow Cause Ive burned out my today If I get up to the top I know Ill just go back downhill Gotta terminal future And its time to write my will Down another glass of courage And a shot of thorazine Were not ready to see you yet 99 ways to die Were not ready to see you yet Gotta short between the earphones Wringing my hands in dismay A more efficient maniac With two feet in the grave Aint got no last words to say Yellow streak right up my spine The gun in my mouth was real And the taste blew my mind In a black tie and straight jacket Man Im gonna try again (Chorus repeat) Demitasse of arsenic Try on this tie Never mind the tree There is only death and danger In the sockets of my eyes A playground of illusion No one plays they only die Theres a prison in my mind And the bars are gonna break Im as mad as a hatter And strung out just the same Taunting rigor mortis I feel it draw me in

    Megadeth? Headlining an MMA event? THIS IS WHAT ELITEXC SHOULDA DONE! Instead of a band that MMA fans can ACTUALLY stand to listen to, they got Busta Rhymes. Affliction seems to be doing everything right where EliteXC did everything wrong. I fuckin' love it.

    WUT? Seeing Busta Rhymes perform was the best thing that happened at EliteXC...

    Busta Rhymes >>>> megadeth EliteXC got Busta because he's good. WTF has Megadeth done in the last, well.... ever? And no, putting out album covers that look "sweet" on the wall of your room in mom's basement doesn't count.

    Symphony of Destruction. It would be the best entrance music ever.

    I hope the Brett Rogers Hype Train can derail the Kimbo Slice Hype Train. Even if Rogers isnt world class, he did beat James "Flappy Golf Ball Ear" Thompson. Plus Brett has BigBlack in his corner, and BigBlack tried to skate one time.
