And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Brandon Saling - managed to raise no red flags in Strikeforce background checks despite several neo-nazi and SS tattoos, a conviction for child rape, and his literal nickname being "White Steel".

You'd think someone would have clued in when he showed up at the weigh-in with "White Pride" literally tattooed on his biceps, but I guess WSOF likes to play more fast-and-loose. Apparently his friends all attended and yelled racial slurs at Neiman Gracie during the fight.

Gotta admit I have no idea who that is, but he defeated Herb Dean by TKO (eye injury). Must have been a cool dude.

We need to stop letting MMA fighters crawl off into the desert to die. Not one more.

It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?



I'm gonna take my girlfriend to Invicta 8 and want advice on tickets. I know the best advice for good seats at the best value is to book the first row of the middle balcony (if the arena is that big) but I'm kind of enamored by how cheap Invicta actually is compared to UFC and am considering floor seats. Is that worth it at all, or would it be too hard to see the fight from there?

Depends where on the floor and what venue, some of the floor (not ringside) seats offer a good view of the cage. I think lower mezzanine seats are usually the best viewing, though.

That's what I figured. Since tickets aren't available for the show yet, I looked at a different MMA promotion's setup that's playing the same venue later this month and this is their floor plan. I imagine Invicta would feature something similar, but since it's not a traditional mezzanine setup I'm not sure which spot would be best. Any experience with something like this?

Get either a seat close to the booth so you can yell at Mauro/be friends with Julie Kedzie, or an aisle seat so you can steal some hats.
