Yep, Andre Winner Got Screwed Out of KO of the Night at UFC 105


(Props: MMA TKO...again)

When we heard that Dennis Siver received UFC 105's Knockout of the Night bonus instead of Andre Winner, who appeared to have seriously affected Roli Delgado's future consumption of solid foods with that blistering right hand, we were a little taken aback.  But okay, we thought, in all fairness, we hadn't seen Siver's knockout.  Winner's was clearly a brainstem adjustor of the first class variety, but maybe, just maybe, Siver's was so spectacular that it made Winner look like he'd barely squeaked by.  It's possible, right?

Brockwatch: Lesnar in Stable Condition, Will Leave Hospital Soon

("...so I said, 'Incurable disease? My God, what's the *good* news?' And the doctor says, 'We're going to name it after you.'")

From the Associated Press:

BISMARCK, N.D. — UFC President Dana White said Monday that heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar is recovering from a bacterial infection in his intestinal tract. "He's in stable condition and should be released soon," UFC President Dana White said.
 
Asked if Lesnar was in a Bismarck hospital, White said, "I think he is," but did not want to say which hospital because he wanted to protect Lesnar's privacy.
 
White said he is encouraging Lesnar to check into the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., for further treatment. He also said he did not know if the 32-year-old South Dakota native will fight again. "It depends on how serious this is," White said...

One of the cool things about being divorced is that you get to manhandle ring girls at photoshoots without the threat of your wife socking you in the head with a rolling pin later. No, the only things waiting for you when you come home will be dirty laundry, Dinty Moore beef stew, and sweet, blissful silence. (Or maybe, if you're Randy Couture, your next future ex-wife.) After the jump: More pics from Mad Alex's new Natasha Wicks photo set, plus behind-the-scenes video from the shoot... 

"Mayhem" Miller Wasn't Kidding About That Staph Infection


(Kill it with fire!!!!)

Okay, now I think we know why "Mayhem" Miller felt the need to take to Twitter and badger Jake Shields about the result of their Strikeforce title fight.  Miller claims to have gotten a staph infection as a result of the bout, and this photo he posted just a few minutes ago confirms that he's either telling the truth, or an alien is about to jump out of his throat.  The next time you hear Dana White asking a group of starry-eyed young men whether they want to be [expletive] fighters, think about this.  It's not all girls and money and fame.  It's also weird infections that make you look like you're growing a third eye in the middle of your neck. 

Just hold tight, Mayhem.  We may not have any medical expertise whatsoever to help you deal with this, but we're overnighting a turtleneck right now. 

UFC 105 Produces Some Excellent Punch-Faces


(You keep making that face, Dan, and it's going to stick.  Still, at least it attracts attention away from your sideburns.)

It's no secret that here at the Potato we're big fans of the phenomenon known as Punch-Face.  Just as no one looks cool sneezing, neither does anyone look cool when being punched in the face.  Okay, maybe Paul Newman, but that's the one exception.  Fortunately for us, the boys at Fight Magazine were in England for UFC 105 this weekend and they captured a whole slew of punch-faces for us to enjoy.  Will we ever get sick of this?  Maybe one day.  It doesn't seem like it's going to be today, though. 

Check out our favorites after the jump, and go here to see the awesome UFC 105 photo gallery from Fight Magazine.
