Joe Rogan, Mike Goldberg UFN 18 Drinking Game




Here's how,
Re-watch (or watch for the first time) the Griffin/DA fight.

Take a drink every time that Rogan or Goldie mention Tyson Griffins leg and how it might be hurt.

One drink for each mention by either of them.

Include the Rogan interview.

Do not make any plans.

Cole Miller is afraid of Junie Browning; can't lose at UFN 18



Some might say it's gamesmanship...trying to sell the fight that happens at Ultimate Fight Night 18 in Nashville Tennessee. Maybe.

However, his over the top trash talking goes beyond trying to drum up interest and goes into "I am scared to lose to this reformed asshole". Not only scared but actually thinking that he WILL LOSE.

You know the fear that I am referring to. The 6th grade playground fear when the 8th grade bully comes along. Cole Miller deep down does not think that he is going to win and his response to that is too talk so much shit that it becomes a parody of someone talking shit.

The worst part is that if he loses now...he looks like such a fool. Paint yourself into a corner much? You can actually smell the fear through the video...go ahead...smell that? It's the fear of a man who is fighting on TV on Wednesday night.

When people are scared, people make mistakes. When fighters are scared they get knocked out or submitted. Cole Miller is the favorite in this fight....put your money on Browning.

EDIT: I stand corrected. Cole Miller looks like an animal.

Roger Huerta is the latest UFC fighter to be shunned



Making sure that everyone realizes that he holds all the cards...all the time, Dana White is orchestrating his patented "Freeze Out" on one time LW contender Roger Huerta.

As reported by MMAJUNKIE.COM (Excerpts)


Popular UFC lightweight Roger Huerta (20-2-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) - the first mixed martial artist to ever grace the cover of Sports Illustrated - hasn't been mentioned much in recent months.


After declining to renew his contract with the UFC in January, Huerta said in the most recent episode of HDNet's "Inside MMA" that he's been stuck waiting by the phone.


"To be honest I'm just waiting for that phone call," Huerta said.


As Huerta told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) in January, after "El Matador" turned down a fight with Joe Stevenson at UFC 95 in February due to "personal issues with family and stuff," the UFC extended his contract by six months.


Added to a contract extension issued after his request for the time off that eventually led to his role in the upcoming film "Tekken," Huerta's fight contract now runs through December - though there is just one bout remaining on the agreement.


The UFC has been accused of "freezing out" fighters such as Andrei Arlovski and Brandon Vera in recent years. Each fighter found themselves in a similar position to Huerta - holding one remaining fight and an extended period of time on their UFC contract.


Huerta last saw action in an August 2008 unanimous-decision loss to current No. 1 contender Kenny Florian. That defeat snapped a 16-fight win-streak for the popular fighter, but with fight bookings already being rumored for UFC 101 and 102 in August, Huerta's name hasn't been mentioned at all.


"(I'm waiting) for the UFC to give me a phone call and I'm able to fight my last fight," Huerta said. "I'm just kind of waiting on that."


"I was always really - my focus was mainly on fighting and doing a lot of PR for the UFC. They were like my No. 1 priority at that time. It really didn't hit me until after the (Clay) Guida fight. After that, everything kind of sunk in and I really started taking it in, like, 'Wow. It really was a big deal.'"


And he may never get to feel it again.

On one hand I really can't blame him if Hollywood is calling. I mean, if you can make more money without getting your face bashed in...who wouldn't take that? On the other hand, Hollywood can be very fickle and if his star does not rise...he could be looking down Eric Roberts street very quickly. Plus, he would have NO CHANCE of getting back in the good graces of Dana White...the man can hold a grudge with the best of them.

He was a rising star with unlimited potential as a fighter...he had a good personality...he had the look of a superstar AND...at one point...he had the respect of the most important man in MMA. Right now he is on the outside looking in and keeping his fingers crossed that his movie based on a Video Game does not fail.

Maybe he should have stuck with fighting.
