We still have to wait 18 more days for this thing to pop off, but in the meantime, here’s some preview trash-talk from UFC 98′s extended trailer. While Rashad Evans keeps it simple, predicting he’ll take Lyoto Machida out in the third round, the Dragon gets all poetic ("My philosophy is the same as the samurai…my body is my sword, my mind is my blade.") According to Dana White, it will be the first time in UFC history that two undefeated fighters will fight for a title.

Meanwhile, Matt Hughes and Matt Serra share their own differing philosophies. Joe Rogan calls their match a must-win fight for both guys if they want to continue fighting in the UFC. For Serra, beating up Matt Hughes is more important than picking up the W. "Let’s send him packin’," he says. "Who the hell wants that guy around anymore? Not me."

Above: lookoutawhale‘s latest joint, in which Chuck Liddell‘s creepy stare from the Condit vs. Kampmann broadcast gets a little more personality. There are so many good gags in this one, but 1:36 takes the cake, so to speak.

Below: Chuck Norris ain’t got shit on Rajinikanth. He came to kick ass and chew bubble-gum, and he’s currently chewing his final piece of bubble gum.
