CATCHING UP ON TWITTER

So my newest idea...some of these fighters are hilarious. Heres the best the past couple days worth of tweets from Miguel Torres.



I don't read instruction manuals, I write them.

The only instruction in my manual is, 'If he dies he dies'. That's in my manual on "How to Win A War".

Everywhere I travel I see greatness all around. I also see that life is far from fair,so much needless suffering and pain.

Let them eat cake, I just want some tacos.

Just cause its a theme song dont mean its not true.

Twitter has spoken, I will go see The Expendables. If it is not good I will become a festering pool of rage.
8:36 PM Aug 15th


Every move I make is cold and calculated. The only mistake Ive made was not making more moves.

Best pick up line I ever heard, "Does this rag smell like chloroform?" Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

What I learned from watching The Expendables: I need a loud shotgun, sharp knife, and a crew of 50 yr olds to watch my back.

UFN 22 CHANGE IN FIGHT CARD




Just taking a moment to vent! Mac Danzin had to pull out of UFN 22 due to injury. Matt Wiman will now be fighting Efrain Escudero. This makes me sad. I was looking forward to a rematch. Its good that hes not fighting injured, because my guess is that this next fight might be his last chance in the UFC...if he doesn't win, I'm afraid hes going to get cut. I don't want that....hes awesome...and VEGAN!!! So I guess its important that hes fit to fight...but still, I'm disappointed!

This Is Gonna Hurt...

Let the Sonnen withdrawal begin. Buddy boy beat the hell out of Silva for 23 minutes at UFC 117, earning the respect of every decent MMA fan in the process, and got a 60 day no-contact medical suspension for his troubles. That's right, two whole months bereft of Chael-y goodness. Oh, the horror! The humanity!

Luckily, we have plenty of random video to keep us entertained until our boy Chael is back in fighting form...like this little gem, which beautifully illustrates my contention that grappling pants just look silly on everyone.

In addition to everyone's favorite Republican, the following fighters were also given medical suspensions according to MMAJunkie (click for more details, yo):

  • Anderson Silva
  • Junior Dos Santos
  • Roy Nelson
  • Dustin Hazelett
  • Phil Davis
  • Charlie Brenneman
  • Tim Boetsch
  • Todd Brown
  • Stefan Struve
  • Christian Morecraft
  • Dennis Hallman
  • Ben Saunders
MMAJunkie.com also has a pretty good explanation of post-fight checkups and medical suspensions in the comments section, which you can go directly to by clicking here. Because we know you're lazy, and we love you anyway.

ALL HAIL CHAEL!!!!

This newest feature, I'd like to think of as "Chael as needed." Enjoy!
