Hey guys, I'm likely the only one here, but does anyone else watch MMA? I'm saying that coming off of UFC 140 tonight in Toronto, and it was honestly the best fight card I've ever seen. I'd encourage you all to find Frank Mir vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira II online tomorrow, when it's up, one of the best back and forth fights ever. And, if you want to see an unbelievable chess match, watch Jon Jones vs. Lyoto Machida. Jon Jones may be the greatest athlete in the world, no lie.
Sorry if absolutely nobody cares. This was just the greatest night of my life, and I want everyone to enjoy this. Cheers.

Don't be afraid to post stuff like this. You can post anything in here, unless it rips on Hockey, Beer or Hilary Duff. I'm not a huge UFC fan, but usually see most fights at the bar on Saturday's. Missed this one because of exams but I can't stand Jon Jones. His intro song pisses me off. Yes, that's my reasoning.

He had God Gave Me Style cut with something else, it was horrifying. And yeah, he can be a bit of a smug douche sometimes, but his style is absolutely electric. This was also the most adversity he's been in, so it was interesting to see him really get hit.

Sick. I'm a huge fan of JDS and Demian Maia, and it may sound like bandwagon jumping, but I've been a huge fan of Jones for a while now. You?

Well I gotta have love for my Canadian boys GSP and Mark Homminick- the kids tough- and I really like Ben Henderson also have some love for Jones, hes got a good head on him and maybe the best pound for pound fighter in the world now

Wow, that's a lot of Canadians on here, you, dude, and myself. And I also really like Hominick (felt so bad for him last night) and Bendo.

None of you legitimately qualify as Canadians because you, for some bizarre reason, deny the Canadeification of Rush.

Because Rush is a greatly overrated band. Although they inspired one of my favourites bands, they pale in comparison to bands like Symphony X, Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment and Adrenaline Mob. You can pass that on the Geddy Lee.

I blame Geddy's horrible voice for Kemp not winning MVP.

Each to their own. I find it much more interesting than any other sport, personally. The level of technique and well roundedness it requires to be a champion is unparalleled in sports.

I'm not a real fan of the sport (kind of align myself with those that think its "human cockfighting") but I will say that the movie "Warrior" was arguably the best movie of the year. I strongly recommend this movie to everyone. Even my boyfriend who really isn't into sports loved it and was cheering in the end.

I keep forgetting you're a girl.
Anyways, I suppose the sentiment is understandable, although it really isn't true. The sport's come a long ways, the rules have gotten a lot stricter so as to keep fighters as safe as possible.
Oh, and strangely, I still haven't seen Warrior haha. I need to badly.
