Jon Fitch to face winner of Steve Carl vs. Rousimar Palhares at WSOF 10 in July (@guicruzzz) http://sbn.to/1dspGz9

I hope it's Fitch/Palhares because that fight sounds like it'd be hilarious, especially if Palhares takes home a leg

As much as I'd feel bad for Fitch, its the only way. Kill hooseymar, kill.

Ah, yes. Very convincing. "I don't remember what happened, but I can guarantee you I was totally fine."

Not that I'm not sympathetic to him. He's been put in the very tough spot of having to defend his team.

if you can't remember the doc asking if you're ok, maybe you weren't ok?

But yeah a cursory once-over is not a thorough examination.

My MMA twitter success/failure story is I woke up and saw Shane Carwin proposing various Stikeforce/UFC matchups and I tweeted something like "lol that'll never happen" and he replied "now that Dana owns both, why not?" and that's how I learned Strikeforce got bought out.

Oh and Chael gave me first time home buyer advice.

I usually don't condone the current crop of Gracies winning in MMA fights, mostly because it's hilarious to see them lose (Like when Rolles Gracie got obliterated by Derrick Mehmen), but Neiman Gracie is a hero because he tapped out [http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2014/7/7/5876311/wsof-dustin-holyko-white-power-domestic-violence]immense shithead, criminal offender, and basically neo-nazi Dustin Holyko[/url]

You'd think an organization making its network TV debut would run a background check on guys before throwing them in the cage, but whatever, I guess?

I'm hoping he didn't let his PO know he left the state to fight on WSOF card.
