Kevin!!!!!! Wow! I really had no idea you were so into this! And good at it!!! Awesome!!!!!!!! Thank you for your hard work and honoring the craft of it. My brother is MMAPHOTOGRAPHY.COM He’s got many fights of George. He’s been shooting MMA since ’04 or ’05… His pics are in most every fighter mag. He’s signed by Bellator who broadcasts their fights every thursday night. Stop by our Roller Derby blog! :D MMA and Roller Derby are very related… can’t wait till Derby blows up like MMA..

Seconds before the first round began, a wily old cornerman put his hand on my somewhat shaky shoulder and attempted to psych me up with: “I want you to go right at him, kid–he can’t hurt us!”

Also, the verb to tweet should have never been capitalized. The AP Stylebook has since corrected this, but their misprint has caused a bunch of people to learn it the wrong way.

I suspect their lack of “mixed martial arts” will similarly haunt us.

My understanding is that the AP cuts the serial comma because it works better in narrow newspaper columns to go without it. On the web, this isn’t a problem. I won’t blame them on this one the way I blame them on their more recent mistakes, but we can probably move on without their advice.

Neko Case? A woman combining beauty and talent in awesome proportions.

Isn’t this a bit of a reach?

However, I’m with you on the Oxford comma. Never leave home without it.

GSP is without a doubt, my favorite fighter.

The thing about GSP and I is that we control the fight. When you fight us, you go at our pace and we prove that you are simply no match for us. We are not the perfect fighter and knowing this only makes us that much better. If you happen to catch us (Matt Hughes and Matt Serra), we will come back better than ever and beat you at your own game. Josh Koscheck better be ready.

That whole controversy with Baby Jay was him just not wanting to admit he definately does not have what it takes as a welter weight. As a light weight, he could be unstoppable. His last performance, however, has left me scratching my head wondering who stepped into that octagon with Frankie Edgar. That was not the BJ we all know.

I'm sure someplace it would be perfectly acceptable to have Neko Case as a parent and future ex-wife. The octagon is probably not one of those places.

I love the Oxford comma, and find it completely necessary! Damn you, AP Style Book!

Yeah, I love the whole “we” thing..”We” always win, but “they” always lose. Just once I’d love to hear Bret Farve say..”we would’ve lost if it wasn’t for Mel Johnson, in Spokane, who watched the entire game in his boxers with his face painted.”

You just wait until Pat Miletich and I get back in training…
