There is nothing I can do to change the past, and believe me, if I could, I would. That decision doesn't represent who I am today. All I can do now is put the past behind me and move forward.

Jake Shields makes everything look so awkward
That group photo reminds me of this:
menckenstein - February 22, 2012
LOL
..
szanpan - February 22, 2012
True, “awkward” is a very good description of how he looks (and acts).
Horselover Fat - February 22, 2012
Jake Shields is hot
Damon O. - February 22, 2012
beat me to it
bcpjkell - February 22, 2012
Classic BE right there.
Reading through the comments makes me wonder what happened to mythbuster??
ANance - February 22, 2012 via mobile
Jake Shields creeps me the hell out
He’s like that weird guy in the office that is starved for acceptance from everybody.
soilworker - February 22, 2012
greatest picture ever!
the-gentle-way - February 22, 2012 via mobile
That may be the funniest thing I've ever seen
warren305 - February 22, 2012
I was too busy trying to figure out if Diaz was smiling or snarling. Probably the same face, honestly.
thirdparty - February 22, 2012
That Rampage poster would look so much better without that huge ufc logo behind him.
ANance - February 22, 2012 via mobile
Glad to hear Stann is going to be back in the booth
Violent Newt - February 22, 2012
Me too
His analysis was great. I’ve never been a fan of his, but he really impressed me with his knowledge & how good he was on camera.
YPG - February 22, 2012
Kongo said
short message to my fans speaking live from Tokyo
LRaunThaDamaja - February 22, 2012
That part I understood.. but what does he say in the video?
Horselover Fat - February 22, 2012
I can't google translate that much
LRaunThaDamaja - February 22, 2012
Aha. Well, maybe someone with better French can help us out. Probably nothing too interesting though.
Horselover Fat - February 22, 2012
There you go
Kongo
"Well here I am at the Hilton Hotel of Tokyo. I just finished my breakfast so didn’t have the chance to show you what I had. You’ll have the chance to see them all with photos that I took. Thanks to all, good luck and see you guys later."
NiN505 - February 22, 2012
Haha, thanks! Just like suspected, not very interesting. :P
Horselover Fat - February 22, 2012
Mark this under “Greatest Moments in MMA History”
Krimson - February 22, 2012
Also mark under "learn how to spell"
I never knew hell had an apostrophe in it.
NNR (formerly NameNotRequired) - February 22, 2012 via mobile
Autocorrect from iPhone, I'm sure.
menckenstein - February 22, 2012

the guy with the big nose - February 22, 2012

Why do you have to post a .gif from the saddest Futurama ever?
TMadeBurner - February 22, 2012 via mobile
Right? Now the song is stuck in my head.
“Iiiiiiiif iiiiit taaaaaakes foreveeeer, Iiiii Wiiiill waaaaait for youuuu…”
Goddammit, I just made myself sadder now.
The Hamburger Pimp - February 22, 2012 via mobile
I'll help:
I’m walkin in sunshine, whooooaaa OhhhhHHH!
POW - February 22, 2012 via mobile
Dude! Why you gotta bring Seymour into this?!
Aww man, that episode STILL makes me sad.
The Hamburger Pimp - February 22, 2012 via mobile
:’(
Horselover Fat - February 22, 2012
Damn you
Damn you to hell for this.
Damon O. - February 22, 2012
hey
don’t blame me, It’s a sad wednesday without natasha :(
the guy with the big nose - February 22, 2012
wtf man....
:( :(
not cool…just…….not cool
gxc - February 22, 2012
Welp, my morning's ruined
woomikee - February 22, 2012
No idea what this is...
But sad dog make me sad
beeran - February 22, 2012
Ok, looked it up on Wikipedia and...
…must…not…cry…at…work…over…cartoon…dog…
beeran - February 22, 2012
But you can have a 50/50 porn remake
LRaunThaDamaja - February 22, 2012
War Machine's post-prison bitch!
menckenstein - February 22, 2012
no ring girls
because they were all too busy having their nude photos leaked.
Ikuhisa Quinoa - February 22, 2012
Arianny felt left out.. so what did she do? Well, it involves her balcony, and no clothes. link
Horselover Fat - February 22, 2012
Probably did it on purpose to counter Brittney's PB spread
I want a sandwich now.
menckenstein - February 22, 2012
Yeah, no doubt, and Chandella’s resurfaced porn.
Horselover Fat - February 22, 2012
the only spreading anyone did was by Chandella.
hai-yooooooooooooo
Ikuhisa Quinoa - February 22, 2012
I mean, damn
she has negative ass.
The Lethal Haze - February 22, 2012
Yeah, she is severely lacking curves. Except where the plastic is
Horselover Fat - February 22, 2012
I just dont understand how she can have no ass at all
If she got breast implants she might as well get em for the ass too. Look at what it has done for Kim Kardashian.
DCJon. - February 22, 2012
How much does Shields cut to make welter?
TheLastEmpress - February 22, 2012
I have no idea
I do think he should stay at middle-weight though… he could wreck shit up in that division.
juanchoD - February 22, 2012
Yeah. Shields has looked really bad since moving down.
TheLastEmpress - February 22, 2012
He gasses a lot
and the division is full of wrestle-boxers. The style match ups are horrible for him.
juanchoD - February 22, 2012
LOL
for the first time, I 100% agree with Dana.
shut the fuck up and fight pacman already you racist fuck.
DK_Monster - February 22, 2012
Floyd is a racist
But Pac is the Duck
warren305 - February 22, 2012
Man that was ice cold what Kongo said to Tim, lol telling him he’s in the UFC where’s he at.
MMA214 - February 22, 2012 via mobile
THE TRUTH
……is a mofo and stings the worst.
Dan A. White - February 22, 2012
What did Tim expect
“Yeah I’ll leave the UFC to fight you washed up nobody. Just promise you don’t poop on me.”
halitosis - February 22, 2012 via mobile
Mon Francais, c'est terrible.
I’ll recruit my mom to translate later.
Paulo Filho's Psychiatrist - February 22, 2012 via mobile
C'est assez simple, so not much substance here.
Kongo
"Well here I am at the Hilton Hotel of Tokyo. I just finished my breakfast so didn’t have the chance to show you what I had. You’ll have the chance to see them all with photos that I took. Thanks to all, good luck and see you guys later."
NiN505 - February 22, 2012
i just KNEW somebody else must be doing this. :D
verloc - February 22, 2012
“We find ourselves at the Tokyo Hilton; I just finished my breakfast, I didn’t get a chance to show you what there was but you can take advantage (‘profit’) of what was on my plate, there are many pictures”
The end bit about the breakfast plate and the pictures doesn’t really make much sense to me, and it could be “bring on the photos” at the end rather then there are many pictures.
Anyway, give me some good Quebecois anyday.
verloc - February 22, 2012
where im from, the traffic...
speeds up, when the lights turn yellow.
carmine99 - February 22, 2012
Kongo would murder Sylvia - Make it happen!
soilworker - February 22, 2012
The REEM
Is not 6’5". I met him at CES in Vegas at the Qualcomm booth. I’m 6’4" on a good day and I’d put him at about 6’3".
Dan A. White - February 22, 2012
werdum is 6'4 and was clearly taller.
the-gentle-way - February 22, 2012 via mobile
They look about the same to me
Neither one is wearing any shoes here by the way.
Horselover Fat - February 22, 2012
Werdum has about a half an inch, maybe an inch. He’s legitimately 6’4, so that puts Overeem somewhere between 6’3 and 6’4.
Patrick Wyman - February 22, 2012
Maybe.. 6’5 looks so much prettier on paper though
Horselover Fat - February 22, 2012
I don't know
Their eyes line up about the same. If anything, Reem’s eyes are a little higher. From there up, it’s about the same. Werdum actually has a big head, compared to Reem.
If we’ve learned anything from that picture, it’s that the ring girl on the far right is cute, and the guy behind her just released a wicked fart.
Why are we analyzing this again?
Baba Booey - February 22, 2012
The gi adds 2 inches.
Ikuhisa Quinoa - February 22, 2012
They look VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL to me.
ElliotMatheny - February 22, 2012
I think the fact Overeems head comes to a point at the top is what puts him at 6'5
Hes probably just a bit over 6’4 and they just rounded it up.
DCJon. - February 22, 2012
Might be.
The other guy is 2.17 (no idea what that is in feet/inches), and is actually not the tallest person in the Netherlands (he is the tallest Student or something? Tallest person below 30 I think as well), who is 2.22.
Vonk - February 22, 2012
He’s about 6"5 wide though, the hench motherfucker.
LYHL - February 22, 2012
damn.
donna from that 70’s show looking all kinds of hot.
The Hashishin - February 22, 2012
gross.
lukustra - February 22, 2012 via mobile
*uppercut*
Don’t speak ill of Hot Donna again!
The Hamburger Pimp - February 22, 2012 via mobile
Never found her very attractive, too manish.. Jackie is where it’s at! Oh, and Eric’s sister (the first version).
Horselover Fat - February 22, 2012
Yea but Donna was always that really cool chick that you could bring with your friends, cuddled, looked bangin in a dress and probably was crazy in bed while nibbling on your shoulder on those moonlit nights………………………don’t judge me.
Krimson - February 22, 2012
Well, that’s probably true, better girlfriend material.. I just found her to be the most boring character on the show
Horselover Fat - February 22, 2012
I believe it was 1.1mil no?
Cory Braiterman - February 22, 2012
Yeah
I read $1.1M on another site.
Baba Booey - February 22, 2012
speaking of reem..wasnt he in court yesterday?
gxc - February 22, 2012
YES...we are due an update!
Probably an extension or request for another date, but still…inquiring minds want to know!

dana calls out (oh what a tough guy), feck off not like the bald fells is the first one to say this about foyd.this idiot is so pc when calling journos homosexuals and bitchs and making fun of russians or when one of his fighters calls brazilians dumb savages who think buses are a type of animal. two hype men who should be ignored

Cory Braiterman - February 22, 2012
I'm reading the second book now. Tyrion is my favorate character.
J_Maddux - February 22, 2012
What is this thing you call a book?
DCJon. - February 22, 2012
Lol. I saw the Game of Thrones first, and after reading the book I can say the show is extremely accurate down to the dialogue. There is a scene where Tyrion orders some food and his order is exactly the same as in the book word for word.
J_Maddux - February 23, 2012
Well then fuck the books
HBO FOR LIFE!!!!!!
DCJon. - February 26, 2012

even thou I’m like 1/8th or 16th French.

it was a creperie I worked
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - February 22, 2012
No problem, dude. Wasn't calling you out or anything.
I think you mean Il n’y a pas de quoi, which means litterally: There’s nothing (to thank me for) so an equivalent of but of course, which would translate to mais bien sûr.
Sweet Scientist - February 22, 2012
French has an eloquence about it
every now and then the old guy would use a big English word in the context of it’s secondary or b/c/d meaning and I would go oooh saucy
♥
yeah Il n’y a pas de quoi is correct, I was spelling it phonetikally
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - February 23, 2012
Kongo tweet:
