Street Fights

(Just before the nightclub brawl, Overeem also reportedly negged eight women and kino escalated on six.)

When it was announced that Alistair Overeem turned down a Strikeforce heavyweight title fight against Brett Rogers due to an injured hand, we thought it was one of those phantom injuries that mysteriously arises when someone asks you to fight a comparatively unknown up-and-comer on a month's notice. But it turns out Overeem's injury is very real. And there's a pretty interesting story behind it. Fighter's Only has the tale...

UFCs Dana White, Forrest Griffin and Kenny Florian on Dr. Phil - Watch more Funny Videos

The UFC prez and two of his henchmen showed up on Dr. Phil today, during a very special show about dangerous teen trends. After one segment where a boy's smartie-smokin' led him to marijuana (gasp!), it was time to cast an eye on the alarming trend of basement fighting. Dana White, Forrest Griffin, and somebody named "Kenny Florini" were on hand to tell two young aspiring fighters that what they were doing wasn't cool. Well, Forrest did say he appreciated their spirit, and Kenny was basically like "just be careful," but Dana really laid down the law when he explained how boxing resulted in more deaths than mixed martial arts. That's what we call "staying on message."

(Props: Steve Cofield, again)

We just had to go and complain that Elite XC and CBS weren't doing enough to hype their Oct. 4 event. Then came "Hits & Chicks." Now it's "the greatest mixed martial arts show in Florida history" featuring "undefeated Miami street fighting legend" Kimbo Slice. Oh, and just in case you were worried that his street fighting days weren't being well-represented enough, they made sure to include plenty of clips. I don't know if they're referring to him as undefeated in MMA, which is true, or undefeated in street fighting, which is not (Sean Gannon, anyone?), but either way you get the point. They stop just short of showing Kimbo working out with the Milf Hunter, presumably because they had to give Ken Shamrock his obligatory three seconds of screen time.

When it comes to selling tickets, I guess you hype whatever you got, however you can.

If this had happened a few weeks earlier, it might have made our Best Street Fight Videos list - even if it wasn't much of a fight. Recently, former "Desperate Housewives" actor Jesse Metcalf demonstrated how to pretend you're a bad ass, when you're really just shitting your pants and trying not to cry because you got jacked with a monster right.

Were those four or five ounce gloves the small dude was wearing? I must admit I get great pleasure in seeing this priss get taken to the ground. And his reaction after the punch makes it even funnier. He waits just long enough so his posse of secret service dudes shuttle the offender away, then pretends like he wants to brawl. "What the fuck?", apparently being the key phrase that makes you look tough. I'll tell you WTF: you got punished for what you did in the video below.

What the fuck indeed. Now I want to punch you, Jesse Metcalf. I hope Joe Rogan meets him at a Hollywood party and chokes him out.
