Did You Watch UFC 134 on Saturday Night?

IT WAS SO MUCH FUN, you guys! If you don’t follow MMA, because of it being human dog-fighting, you can just skip ahead. Also, I bumped a post I wrote about walking cats on leashes for this, so, there’s that.

The title bout was Anderson Silva v. Yushin Okami, and, Jesus, why are people still fighting Anderson Silva? It’s not going to end well for you! He was a beast. Some people think that my secret French-Canadian boyfriend, Georges St-Pierre, should go up a weight class and take him on, but that’s never going to happen.

Watching MMA, it’s important to remember that the most impressive part is that people who get kicked do not immediately fall to the ground and scream in pain. If Anderson Silva kicked you, anything he made contact with would break. Your ribs, your femur…doesn’t matter.

(If you haven’t wandered off yet, and you watched the Forrest Griffin fight, do you think he took a dive? I imagine he probably didn’t, but he’s looking pretty miserable these days. He’s still bucking the trend by not-waxing his chest, though, bless him.)
