I'm not sure if we have any MMA fans here, but the recent WEC 53 had me screaming at the top of my lungs and waking everyone up. The ninja kick heard around the world.

Before any of you have any doubts, the gif is not from a movie. lol.

I've always wanted to be able to do that! My sister Tammy and other family and friends usually get together to watch the big UFC fights and eat a lot of food. Enjoyed seeing Koscheck get worked last weekend by GSP.

I was watching it. I've done martial arts myself and watch a good amount of MMA and I've never seen anything like that. That was a good fight.

[Dean Schubert]

Bad ASSSSSS!!!!!

[Steve]

That is awesome.

Can you find WEC on cable? I have a friend who fights in that league.

[Jake]

i can't stop watching that. amazing

[alexenglish]

Hey steve, what is your friends name? That wasn't the only fight that was exciting. Correct me if I'm wrong 7 out of 10 fights for this card never made it past the end round. This is including the prelims. Sick ass card, wec went out with a bang can't wait to watch Pettis vs Maynard or Edgar. I hope pettis is working on his takedown defense.

his name is Chris Cariaso

Here is Chris claiming the ICSF bantam weight title in 2009 before he was promoted to the WEC:

This is a good place to bring up LUKE STEWART. He's not only a badass fighter, but he's a badass tattoo artist (with a chest piece by our own Scott Sylvia):

[tammy]

hogg, that is so cool.

[alexenglish]

Luke has some sweet oomaplatas, i remember that fight against galvao. So explosive, and his sweeps are amazing. BS decision in my opinion.

[Lochlan]

How were the fights tonight?

[alexenglish]

Awesome fights, the main event was crazy. No one expected it to be this exciting. The fight was very even and technical. There were also a lot of upsets.

[Wedge]

I didn't watch the event but was glad when I read Nate Diaz lost, he usually acts like such a punk in the ring.

[Tight-Lines]

I just went to the Deathwish site and saw that they are sponsoring MMA fighters... that shit is pretty awesome.

[Lochlan]

Anyone see this or watch the fight?

Rich Franklin Tattoo Update: He Got a Henna Dragon

By Larry Brown February 23, 2011 - Posted in MMA

Rich Franklin and Forrest Griffin bet that the loser of their UFC 126 fight would have to get a tattoo. We figured it was all in good fun, until we learned last week that Franklin was actually going tattoo shopping on Friday. We commended him for living up to the bet, but now we have learned the whole story was just a hoax.

On Monday, Franklin posted pictures of his “tattoo” on his website.

Yup, he went out and got a gigantic henna dragon tattoo on his back. Two more pics:

Honestly, I would have done the exact same thing. Maybe there’s a reason this guy earned a master’s in math — he’s pretty crafty.
