Bloody Elbow

We are fun to talk to.

Can you please tell me about the Hemmi-Bishop hangout?

Did Hemminger end up doing any embarrassing rap songs at the casa de la Bishop? Anything of epic greatness?

Experimenting with drugs and women?

and the occassional debit transaction?

I had a similar experience with Mass Effect 2.

Da Hell?

Dude, Inoki Jesus and Tiger Jeet Singh was the greatest thing EVER. Next to Chris Jericho’s return last night.

Really looking forward to..

Crucified Inoki. Finally going to see it tonight

Never a pro wrestling fan, but the still shot alone has be interested

Already sped-watched some of the Barnett/Suzuki match, and found that entertaining.

SPOILER!

Every bit as ridiculous as you could wish for.

Yes. It was amazing.

WTF?

Fucking wrestling.

Yeah, & then he gets assaulted by some Arab gentlemen. FOR NO DISCERNABLE REASON.

It’s pro-wrestling in a nutshell.

What’s even weirder is that he let them get away with it. Everyone was expecting him to slap the hell out of them after whacking him with the kendo stick. But then the situation just cooled down and them calmly exited.. WTF.

shut your whore mouth

Inoki is JMMA’s savior, hence the cross.

I probably care more about Sakuraba’s tag team match than Michigan State football…

Brian Hemminger - January 3, 2012 reply

Drew Brees is salivating

Sorry Matt

but Green Bay were also sitting Clay Matthews & Charles Woodson. Which is the only reason that game was as close as it was, it didn’t matter to one of the teams!

Congrats Matt!

Cats are overrated, but you get at least a cardboard box and bow from me.

Football? What is this "football" you speak of?

Fedor vs. Pedro Rizzo at ProElite. Book it.

Brother vs Brother. They already did that in Warrior.

They already made a movie about that Brian.

FEDOR VS LESNAR!

… in the WWE…

PEDRO RIZZO!

Bob sapp + Hong Man Choi vs fedor

Dan Severn is still looking for that 100th win isn't he?

Wait for Zuffa to bounce Kharitonov?

Fedor Vs TITO ORTIZ FTW

loser leaves town

Todd Duffee vs. Fedor.

Yeah, cause he didn't have a close brush with death already this year....

but I’d probably still watch thatm just to see if there was a record KO coming.

Thats It For you! - January 3, 2012 reply

out of work K1 guys seem like the best options

Semmy vs Fedor 2 would be fun

Maybe Bellator can sign him. Brian would love that.

nah

I’d rather Bellator not go out of business

Brian Hemminger - January 3, 2012 reply

Maybe they’ll finally see sense and go crawling back to Dana Whi…..I can’t even type that and not burst out laughing.

Thats It For you! - January 3, 2012 reply

FEDOR VS BADR!!!

Who'd have thought that after PRIDE, Fedor would have trouble even booking a freakshow fight?

Is Kimbo doing something these days?

Good lord, how low Hominick has fallen…

He might have fallen off in regards of his winning streak....

but he’s still viable, and he is going to shellack Yagin. Seems like he’s being fed a W right here.

Did you just say Hominick vs Yagin?

As in the Yagin that just got pasted by Assuncao?

How about Jerome Le Banner? He’s coming off two big wins against Josh Barnett and Tim Sylvia.

Wait…

Any questions for Ed Herman?

It's fucking sad, but I just had to google Ed Herman

to figure out who he fought last.

I think Ed Herman should immediately stop believing that he can win rounds off his back.....

(but I do enjoy the effort he shows from there)

The judges are not yet ready for that responsibility.

I wish more MMA fighters would realize when enough is enough.

Agreed...

and I think it’s ludicrous to blast guys for ‘quitting’ at any point of an MMA career.

If he can’t be the best (it’s certainly not for lack of effort) what more does he have to gain?

Wait, lesnar wont be in a tittle eliminator with Kongo?

Brock could always do a few on-offs at Wrestlemania for a million a pop if he wanted to.

If Dana lets him

I think there's mutual money (a lot) to be made there....

I don’t forsee Dana blocking a deal with Lesnar popping up on a few random wrestling appearances, over a contract that Brock is in no place to fulfil (with Zuffa)

Yeah, I don’t think it’d be a problem either. Dana has hinted as much. Just nitpicking, it’s not only up to if Lesnar wants it or not, per se.

A quandry for your brains.....

To Brian’s point; could Brock Lesnar of Friday night beat today’s Chieck Kongo?

yeah.

Hmmm… Kongo does have underrated wrestling.

Yeah, what the hell. Kongo TKO round 1.

Sure he could beat him.

But why would he want to fight him in the first place?

I’d like Liddell vs. Tito 3.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

With the state of Chuck’s chin, there’s a chance that even Tito could knock him out, and if that happened I would have to retire as an MMA fan.

I would probably cut myself emo-style at least. And I’m not even a Chuck fan.

It would be the saddest day in MMA history.

emo style.

win.

You should get Neil on the phone for this one.

It's ok Bishop, I know it hurts....

I’m seriously on the fence with that one.

You start to answer, and then think “what a minute….”

To close for comfort either way, that’s for sure.

Lesnar would beat Kongo,

but never understimate the mind and a fighter’s lack of desire to fight. It all depends on where Lesnar is in his head.

You can't have Tito fight Chuck, cause if Tito knocked Chuck out, he'd never shut up about it.

back to lesnar,

remember this article from a while back based on a bleacher report piece?

http://themmacorner.com/2011/08/31/could-brock-lesnar-be-heading-for-retirement/

guess i should link the actual piece

I remember that.

I also remember Fagan. plays violin

Called it!

This seems fairly likely to me.. I’m no doctor, but I would imagine that the kind of troubles and surgeries he’s had would make it a little iffy to keep fighting. Factor in his age, his recent phobia of getting hit, and the fact that he should by all means be financially set for life, and it seems less and less likely that he’ll come back (at least for any longer period of time).

I think maybe he’ll come back for just one final payday, against someone like Mir maybe, even if it’s a little ill-advised. I definitely don’t see him having more than just one or a few fights though, that’s for sure.

FUEL = FAIL

Dear Matt,

(Insert generic form email)

Thank you,

(Insert contact center rep)

Pretty much.

Sad.

xoxoxoxo to comcast

If you're a MMA fan you should have DirecTV

except for the period when Versus wasn’t on and we missed some WEC cards, DirecTV has always been the best place to get all MMA content, even in the UFC dark ages.

True...

especially with Cox, and their BS tape delay shennanigans.

yep and also it has the eastern feeds of everything so we had all the spike and showtime stuff live.

Standard BS non-reply Matt.. I guarantee they won’t do anything else at all with your request other than send that pre-written reply. MAYBE they have some kind of system to tally up such requests in a database, but it’s unlikely.

Trust me, I’ve worked in that exact job position. Hah!

Dear Xfinity/Comcast customer,

We have no plans to promote a FOX owned property given our majority interest in NBC/Universal. That is all good luck.

They need FX and FOX, but help FUEL grow? Why would they?

I’ll tweet you guys some play by play of Chael’s Corner tonight. Don’t be sad.

Chael's corner

I hope it begins with Chael sitting in front of a mirror saying to himself, “You’re Good Enough, You’re Smart Enough,
and Doggone It, People Like You…”

Will he wear an “I believe in Sonnen” pin?

Bishop, send then another email. See if you get the same reply.

Great idea!

I’ll have better acces to UFC fights this year here in the UK than most US based fans. Thank you ESPN/FX and UFC.TV!!!

NTSC>PAL

Let’s staart a REGION WAR!!!!!!!! :P

NTSC is superior. PAL has shitty ground game and weak chin.

They also have no heart! Nerds FTW!!!!

Comcast can't be a channel...

It’s an evil empire.

I strike the Empire back

DVR’ed it. Looks alright in terms of production.

I saw the FSN Unleashed as well, same show, new graphics

Machida vs. Couture facekick has now been seen by all my family members who came over the weekend.

That was fun.

We here in Region 2 get more UFC Fights

Oh yeah!

And yeah Brian, a Pride 10 DVD from the UK won’t work on a standard US DVD player

*to watch

Come on Bishop, Brian is still hitting those laser disks and VHS tapes.

I saw the FUEL marathon, the round table thing was cool

the UFC 79 replay video quality looked really bad.. but the graphics package in the new unleashed show was just like the graphics package in the first UFC Fox show… also, there was still the same amount of nu-metal crap music so I don’t think the UFC is abandoning their nu-metal vibe like we assumed.

My Pride DVD is inter-regional....

suck it!!

Don’t you mean it’s just not region-locked?

Use VLC guys. Watch it on your PC's.

Oh no, sir....

I mean inter-regional, for my pleasure.

Just watch it with VLC player, dude.

Stop worrying about regions and whatnot.

Hmmm…. that seems to imply non-retail, questionably licensed digital content…

No. Buy it legally and watch in on your PC.

Nothing illegal about that.

Or does VLC player just ignore region locking?

Per Wikipedia:

Alternatively, VLC has modules for codecs that are not based on FFmpeg’s libraries. VLC is one of the free software and open source DVD players that ignores DVD region coding on RPC-1 firmware drives, making it a region-free player. However, it does not do the same on RPC-2 firmware drives.

Thanks!

Didn’t know about that.

Glad I could help.

I watched the “UFC Champions Roundtable” with some Jay Glazer as host and Jones, Liddell, Mir, Griffin talking shit for half an hour. It was okay I guess, exactly what you’d expect really. FUEL TV.

(although I got it from torrents)

I loved how Forrest clowned on Mir for enjoying tennis

Yeah, that was pretty funny. Although really, nothing wrong with liking tennis, perfectly fine sport.

Cool, just breaking balls....

for whatever reason, that’s my first thought when I watch more than 5 minutes of tennis in one sitting.

Dude, I watch female tennis. Easier to follow. And prettier.

There's men's tennis?

haha

Jon Jones is such a rectangle...

Viacom owns 40% of Bellator, they signed War Machine.

Bellator will do what Viacom wants

They have a “controlling interest.” What do the other owners have?

Roger Huerta injured himself during a scramble. War machine got lucky.

MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO!

Roger Huerta: beats up guys who beat up women.

War Machine: Beats up women.

War Machine beats up Roger Huerta? MMA math at it’s finest!
