aaaaaaaaaaaah wicks
just the pickmeup for 9am Wednesday.

The correct answer is always [not your brother].
Cory Braiterman - January 25, 2012
I like how he doesn't say anything supporting his brother
Even Alistair can’t pretend Valetijn isn’t turrrible
menckenstein - January 25, 2012
Wow
I wonder if Assuncao considered any behind-the-scenes politics
halitosis - January 25, 2012 via mobile
Or the fact his last two fights sucked ass
discoandherpes - January 25, 2012
Does it make me creepy that I think Ronda looks hot with a black eye?
Zachary Kater - January 25, 2012
I was thinking the same thing
Kinda like that photo of Gina with a black eye.
discoandherpes - January 25, 2012
Long as I wasn’t the only one. I love a woman that can kick my ass.
Krimson - January 25, 2012
She just looks better in general when she is not overly made up I think…
The American Ronin - January 26, 2012
Dolling Ronda up for a photoshoot
What a terrible idea. Her looks have so little to do with how attractive she is that the lipstick just makes her look weird.
crazybones - January 25, 2012
Yeah
She looks better without that much make-up.
Sabate - January 25, 2012
Rouseys twatter account?
SOB i didnt know twatter was become so damn popular……..i cant wait for
“Taste My Twat Twat” updates ;)
cccruiser81 - January 25, 2012
I don't think Rousey is cute, hot, pretty, etc.
Discuss.
halitosis - January 25, 2012 via mobile
You are a human being with different tastes in women than other male human beings.
sklart - January 25, 2012
I disagree and I’m tired of these Ronda Rousey pictures. I mean she’s only had 4 fights and she just walks around and does armbars! Thats it! She hasn’t even been in the cage for that long. Yea she throws people but whatever thats not double leg wrassling takedown. Just armbar! Yawn! Boring! Anton, stop posting pictures of Ronda Rousey! Rabble Rabble Rabble!
Krimson - January 25, 2012
Finishing fights? Pfft real fighters go for the full 15/25 minutes BRO
menckenstein - January 25, 2012
In the cage
ALL DAY! BY MYSELF!
discoandherpes - January 25, 2012
WENT BACK TO BED! TOOK A NAP!
BVandDietPepsi - January 25, 2012
ONE PILLOW. NO BLANKET.
KyroJudo - January 25, 2012
ONE PILLOW! ONE CORNER! HAD TO! IT WAS EARLY! DOUBLE LEG!
Krimson - January 25, 2012
LIKE A BAWSS!
jason18 - January 25, 2012
I don’t think she’s pretty too. She is cute, ok and kinda hot.
edtSD - January 25, 2012
The more I see of her, the more I am attracted to her. I already thought she was pretty attractive, but seeing her grapple on MMA HEAT, and seeing her on Attack of the Show…I’m pretty smitten.
I’d probably be just as smitten over Meisha Tate, I haven’t gone out of my way to check her out, but she did look pretty hot rasslin’ with Marloes.
RobtWeaver - January 25, 2012
I’d say she’s cute, but I wouldn’t look twice if she walked by. Her looks are a pretty small part of why every BE member has a crush on her (and I’m not saying that like it’s a bad thing).
crazybones - January 25, 2012
i agree nerdy hot maybe if i wasnt so shallow but dont worry halitosis your not alone
Mac Marley - January 25, 2012
Ronda couldn’t disagree with you more.
BVandDietPepsi - January 25, 2012
It’s her personality and skills that sells the whole package.
Horselover Fat - January 25, 2012
you should tell her that
(on video)
mollcutpurse - January 25, 2012
It doesn’t matter what you think.
memitim - January 25, 2012 via mobile
MicahtheCynic - January 25, 2012
I feel this way about Natasha
Afrotikiman - January 25, 2012 via mobile
I think she's hot.
Because she’s funny and kinda loud and kinda tough and beats people up and she seems like she’d be fun to hang around with, in addition to being pretty physically attractive. She’s also terribly confident and confidence is attractive to me. But, I’m a girl so I may have a different perspective on what makes other girls hot.
KatGirl - January 25, 2012
I agree with you on all counts, so I think many guys have the same criteria that you do.
She reminds me a lot of Julia Stiles.
Sqwibbs - January 25, 2012
Damn Palmer’s paintings are getting really good.
DayGeaux - January 25, 2012
indeed
edtSD - January 25, 2012
That guitar is badass
Shaun32887 - January 25, 2012
Not to get off topic
but Palmer in UFC 3 looks like its off of a N64 game. I hate THQ.
sklart - January 25, 2012
Pretty sure it’s the exACT same engine just new moves. Like a new Street Fighter game. And don’t get me started on Capcom constantly having to rehash shit. Maybe if you didn’t make Rufus so gdlk the first go around you wouldn’t have to make an all new game with all new characters. Or Wesker lets make Wesker impossible to beat. Then we’ll add 4 characters and have all the old characters have new moves and Captain American finally gets an OTG (thank you) but we’re gonna beef up WESKER. BECAUSE THAT SHIT MAKES SENSE!!!
……..DON’T JUDGE ME!
Krimson - January 25, 2012
That rant....
SUmonkey - January 25, 2012
Sorry... I'm forced to judge you.
RECE ROCK - January 25, 2012

RolloTomasi - January 25, 2012
Lone Wolf
and Cub?
SentientAndroid - January 26, 2012
seriously?
Anton Tabuena - January 25, 2012
exactly anton dont make us get nerdy in this bitch and argue over my n64 pains and the spoiled generation now who gets everything plus 3D like really just over do it right since its sooooo epic.I WAS BORN IN 1989 AND I EVEN HATE YOU! seriously though i played that and 007 and perfect dark on n64 and trust me if i was young again playing skyrim right now i probably wouldve been smoking weed at like what …..13 instead 16 i mean its different im just saying and rambling and love video games …..and mma equally dont get jealous
Mac Marley - January 25, 2012
Let me help you out bro
menckenstein - January 25, 2012
I'll take some of these ...........
You can have some of these , ;: ’" -
Take as many as you need.
menckenstein - January 25, 2012
what “these” are you talking about good sir and do “these” mix well with “those”
Mac Marley - January 25, 2012
After 3 or 4 drinks
If they get enough XP they evolve into Deez and Doze.
menckenstein - January 25, 2012
Been on a smash bros 64 binge recently myself
Afrotikiman - January 25, 2012 via mobile
Yeah that Palmer model looks like shit
Not too hyped about the new game.
Horselover Fat - January 25, 2012
The graphics are shit
Pride mode is awesome though. The gameplay is deep if you take the time to learn moves.
sklart - January 25, 2012
RING GIRL MODEL BAD! ME NO BUY GAME! UNGA BUNGA!
MicahtheCynic - January 25, 2012
Haha. Well, I wasn’t a huge fan of the first two, just ended up playing them a few weeks before moving on. And this new one looks very much the same, so I’ll probably skip it. To be fair I’m not a big fan of sports or fighting games in general, so there’s that.
Horselover Fat - January 25, 2012
That's why they have demos
They are a DEMOnstration of something that will be similar to the final production. Given that it comes out next month, the demo is most likely a finished product.
Download it, play it, and then make a judgement on it.
Mjub - January 25, 2012
N64?
No way. Too many polygons. Yes, it looks crappy by today’s standards, but N64 graphics were nowhere near that good.
rarson - January 25, 2012
“Spent months training to fight Munoz and now I have to fight a guy who sounds like “PIP” from South Park." -Chael Sonnen
I laughed
chillnnsht - January 25, 2012
Message to Metal Mulisha: We know you’re sponsoring Nick Diaz, and can see he’s wearing your shirt in training, as he did your gear in the cage after beating Penn, probably no need to get him to do an awkward ‘’Buy my shirt’’ pitch too.
sheikybaby - January 25, 2012
NICK DIAZ! NICK! GODDAMNIT, NICK DIAZ! NICK! NICK!
Go plug Metal Mulisha, sell some shirts!
wonderfulspam - January 25, 2012
When I saw he was a Mulisha guy
I was like, yeah, that works, they definitely found the right dude to rock that gear. Pretty much fits in with every dude I’ve seen (or heard) who wears it.
DankNabbot - January 25, 2012
Two things
That Jimi guitar Brittney working on.
Pics of Ronda with black eye.
Me likey, me likey long time!!

Junior Assuncao maps out the things NOT to say publicly if you would like to return to the UFC after being cut...
“If I knew I was getting cut I would got the easier fight”
“It’s politics behind scenes”
“The truth will show up soon or later!”
“Maybe it was personal”
" Got no one fighting for me right now!!!"
“No leverage to argue with the UFC.”
RECE ROCK - January 25, 2012
Plus… he’s not exactly the most exciting fighter we’ve ever seen in the UFC… that also doesn’t help his case.
Shnak - January 25, 2012
Yeah. I don’t remember his first fight, but the last one against Pearson was a major stinker, mostly because of the fact that Assuncao was almost exclusively moving backwards and playing defense the whole time. It takes two to tango.. he had his chance in a televised slot, but he didn’t step up to fight.
Horselover Fat - January 25, 2012
His first fight was even worse.
Sweet Scientist - January 25, 2012
And he showboated for much of that stinker of a fight.
Sweet Scientist - January 25, 2012
Yeah, the Yagin fight
Was absolutely horrible.
wonderfulspam - January 25, 2012
Ah, okay. Well, that explains it then. Good riddance!
Horselover Fat - January 25, 2012
My name is Nick Diaz and I am Awkward.
(Nick’s next walk out T-shirt)
RECE ROCK - January 25, 2012
menckenstein - January 25, 2012
I'm conflicted about Rousey
She’s such an obnoxious badass, the kind of girl who’d participate in burping contests and barroom brawls and win every time.
Ideal walkout music: Lady Sovereign, that feisty little midget.
mollcutpurse - January 25, 2012
Time for my weekly
“Natasha ‘Attention Ho-wah’ Wicks isn’t hot in the least and you mouthbreathers and neckbeards who gobble this shit up make me something something.”
Bash away.
nicey - January 25, 2012
Agreed …to each his own
Afrotikiman - January 25, 2012 via mobile
agree, i dont get why BE is still following her.
CVD - January 25, 2012
Because
She is slightly MMA related, and she has an amazing ass (to which she dedicates many a pictorial).
younggunzvt - January 25, 2012
Picture of Dana White taken while tweeting about website hack
Gremio - January 25, 2012
Nick Diaz video is fucking hillarious
Metal Mulisha Guy: Can you promote your shirt?
Nick Diaz: …… what?
Metal Mulisha Guy: Just tell your fans to buy your shirt.
Nick Diaz: Ah … yea buy my shirt. Buy my shirt, buy my shirt, buy my shirt …
DK_Monster - January 25, 2012
"I'm in the fight biz not the website biz. Who gives a ****?"
Oh, right. So I guess you’re also not in the streaming video business either, right? So why do you give a damn about SOPA then?
Also, does Brittney realize that she can just pull those knobs off instead of covering them with tape? It’ll look better when she’s done, too.
rarson - January 25, 2012
Oh, you were talking about the guitar she was painting...
Took me a minute
RobtWeaver - January 25, 2012
"...keep my mouth shut for now... maybe-" OMFGSTFU k thnx

THQ's model of Brittany looks about as good as the game will probably be:
Really shitty. THQ is a garbage company.
