Sent another e-mail about the fantasy thing since no GD reply.

Starting to think so

If I don't get some response by Wednesday we'll do that.

What I'm wondering is if it will reset when it's actually 2013 and this is the last card of their season or if it's just continuous.

EDIT: This was their challenge in 2011..."The Challenge is based on the results of the Mixed Martial Arts events taking place between December 10, 2011 and December 30, 2011 (the "Season")."

Only three weeks but it ran up to and through the last UFC event of the year (Overeem vs Lesnar).

Ah, so we'll just have to let it run out, 155 will just be for one event bragging rights.

Is there a particular highlight in there, or is it worth listening to all 3 hours?

Click to expand...

I like Rogan's podcasts in general so I listened to the whole thing. I thought it was good up until the last 30 minutes or so when they start getting into gun control/politics. Before that they talk a lot about the early years of MMA and how it's evolved.

At certain points during the podcast, I'm thinking Barnett is a fucking awesome guy who I'd love to share a beer with... other points, I'm thinking this guy is every bit the pretentious douche people say he is. Take the good with the bad I guess.

Joe Lauzon & Jim Miller this weekend!!

With all the recent shooting sprees, I don't think JDS will be positively accepted by the American audience if he shows up in the octagon with guns like these.

When keeping it real goes wrong.

Pride fight here and the dude who looks like he just got up off the couch to grab some chips knocks the other guy the fuck out.

So, new fan eh? You should spend a few hours looking up PRIDE highlights if so=)

The big guy is James "The Colossus" Thompson. Always seemed like a bit of an idiot, but he started blogging last year and the man is actually pretty awesome.

James Thompson has the weakest chin on the planet. Go watch his fights (losses), they are normally quite entertaining.

We all knew, but I didn't see anyone post this. January card will be SF's last. Whatever is left of it anyways.

Strikeforce confirms its demise

edit: Related stuff: Dana said Melendez will likely get an immediate title shot, but "we'll see" just to hedge his bets.

Cormier signed a UFC deal.

I always thought he was a tit after seeing him doing 'gong and dash' and this video clip:

But after reading his blog he seems pretty cool. Turns out he was strongly encouarged by Pride bosses to do his retarded gong and dash.

Dana is so full of shit. He accuses MLB and NFL of being rife with PED's but somehow MMA isn't even though it's a super injury prone sport with equally intense physical requirements. He's just trying, and apparently successfully, throwing up a smokescreen to distract from PED's by making up a phantom pot issue.

How many fighters even pop for pot; Nick Diaz and Dave Herman are the repeat offenders and then you have guys like Thiago Silva, Matt Riddle and Tyson Griffin so other then Diaz who gives a shit.
