I’m trying to find the words to describe this girl without being disrespectful…

This picture might look a little feminine if Anderson and Big Nog weren’t so fucking scary

FIGHT! Life: Confidence with Uriah Faber via The Fight Geek
Ok, so this is getting blogged for a couple of reasons.
1) Faber is a badass.
2) I love the confidence message.
3) FIGHT! magazine is fucking great and every fight fan should have a subscription.
4) MOTHERFUCKING TOP KNOT! Hell yes, as a fellow long haired, fighter hippie, you have no idea how much validation this just gave me for wearing my hair in a top knot. Haha, I’ve never seen anyone else do it and I’ve been the butt of many jokes but now everyone can eff-off.
The 7 Biggest Mistakes in MMA from a Referee’s Point of View via Submissions101
This is so good. The #1 mistake he talks about is my absolute biggest pet peeve regarding ground & pound. Not only does holding the head help keep the guy from bucking (as was pointed out) but it also allows you to take advantage of pushing your weight forward, adding pressure to his head and landing strikes more accurately. Hitting the same spot over and over again compounds pain tremendously.
Be wary of getting bit while doing this in street fights, although in “life protection” situations, you should be sinking your thumb into his eye socket while holding the head and raining punches.

…if one or both Diaz brothers works Shields’ corner in a fight against “Mayhem,” Strikeforce may reach a critical mass of crazy on fight night. While no one knows exactly what might happen, physicists have warned that a chain reaction of buck wildness could result. By morning there won’t be a single person left in San Jose who still gives a fuck.

Hahaha, not accurate at all, but hilarious none-the-less.
PS - I’ve been rewatching some of Cain Velasquez’s old fights… and all I can say about Velasquez V. Carwin is “OH GODDAMN!” Pretty stoked for that one.
