ESPN’s MMA Live talks UFC 91 (which they’ll be broadcasting from live, with three shows next week) among other recent topics in the world of mixed martial arts. As much as I enjoy this show, Stephan Bonnar looks so uncomfortable. At times he seems like a robot that has learned about human emotions and expression solely by watching daytime TV. If bringing him in was a ploy to make us miss Kenny Florian while he’s locked away in a gym somewhere, mission accomplished.
After the jump, something that is not MMA but is still both fighting-related and awesome.
If you’re like me, you’ve been watching HBO’s 24/7 series in the run-up to the Roy Jones Jr.-Joe Calzaghe bout this weekend for two reasons: 1) Roy Jones is totally sweet, even in his advancing years, and 2) you can’t stop thinking about how great it would have been in the UFC had inked a deal with HBO and gotten one of these series done on, say, GSP-Penn II.
The production values are second to none, the story-telling feels effortless, and it pumps up a fight so effectively I’d pay $50 to see my neighbor fight his wife if there was a 24/7 series done on them first. Plus, they’re always arguing anyway. They might as well settle it once and for all.

Jens Pulver needs to retire. And then he needs to fade into obscurity, preferably in some backwoods shithole in Montana where there is no cable, satellite or cell phone access. He was dropped from the UFC after BJ Penn destroyed him and his stupid haircut. He then used the last thing he had going for him, which was his name, to get into the WEC and he got destroyed all over the place there too. On top of that, he’s borderline-retarded and unable to put together anything resembling a coherent sentence, much like Mike Tyson. So, if I never see or hear anything about this dipshit again, I’ll be happy.
