Even though he was eliminated a while back, the perk of being on Dancing With The Stars is you get to come back for one last dance on the season finale and just have fun with it. Lucky for us, that meant Chuck Liddell returned for a martial arts-inspired dance with Anna as well as Mark Dacascos. It’s short, cheesy and yet still funny and enjoyable. Here’s the clip:
I got a few laughs out of it and it seemed Chuck enjoyed it. We now return you to your regularly scheduled “Liddell Back To UFC?” rumors.
Further proof that the 2-0-9, one of my old stomping grounds (and the area I still call home when I am able to return to my native California…209 is the area code for Stockton and areas surrounding Sacramento, by the way), breeds some damn tough mofos. This short clip of Stockton resident and MMA fighter Nick Diaz was shot during a recent triathlon in Hawaii he participated in, he said racing in XTERRA is tougher than any guy he’ll ever face in MMA. See why in this footage shot from his mountain bike as he goes overboard, but gets right back on and gets going again. Or maybe it was the marijuana. Either way, see for yourself in this short clip after the jump. Enjoy.
This clip is doctored/Photoshopped, but that makes it funny. The latest singer to get on my “GO AWAY!” list, some girl by the name of Taylor Swift, won an MTV VMA (Video Music Award) recently. That didn’t impress Georges St. Pierre, who made his feelings known with his signature line (note the bad editing on this part), and caught others’ attention. The edited but funny clip is after the jump. Enjoy.
Not sure just how recent this video is, but I came across this promo clip for MusclePharm, a nutrition supplement company that features a couple of current/former UFC ring girls as models for their product. One of them, the lovely Arianny, is the reason I post this clip…and it’s been too long since we’ve been able to get our Arianny fix (excluding TUF). If you don’t care much for Ali Sonoma (I don’t), skip to the 1 minute mark of this clip and jump around a bit at times for more of Arianny posing and looking good (almost too good, especially in those tight-fitting shorts that seem to love her) in that fitness outfit. Enjoy.
The sucker punch. The cheapest of the cheap. The lowest of the low. But when the other guy asks for it, it’s funny. Case in point: This clip I came across before a MMA fight. Not sure when this was, but here’s the deal: They’re in each other’s faces before being separated for ref instructions. Near the end the guy in the pink mohawk (Dude…) blows the other guy a kiss. The other guy kisses him back. With his right fist. Not sportsmanlike at all, but still funny and the kiss-blower got what he deserved. Funny part was right as the clip ends the cage announcer calls for security!
I can’t put this video in the post but I can link to it and it’ll be in the vodpod. Enjoy.
Try telling that to Toronto Maple Leafs D Mike Komisarek. You have to look very carefully for it but in the clip below he had a puck go off his head in front of the Leafs’ net and past the goalie. OWN GOAL. But it counts only for Colorado. Here’s the clip:
I’m sure the last thing he wants to hear is the old entry theme for the wrestler Al Snow: “What Does Everybody Want? HEAD!” Let’s see if they play that when he returns to Colorado.
They got 17 points, which ties them for 3rd-worst (Michael Irvin and Tom DeLay were worse and 2nd-worst, Chuck is tied for 3rd-worst with Debi Mazar). Hopefully they’ll get enough votes to stay safe another week. VOTE FOR CHUCK!
MMA’s latest mainstream breakthrough comes in the form of former UFC champion Chuck Liddell, who is competing on this season of the ABC show “Dancing With The Stars”. His first dance was last night, click below for the video and details on voting and more.
Otherwise it could get ugly. And hilarious. As part of it’s ads for Norton Internet Security 2010, the software’s maker has come up with a series of serious-minded yet rather silly spots featuring Kimbo Slice to get it’s point across. Each of the 3 spots has a slightly different outcome following a key spot in the commercial. All 3 can be seen after the jump, they’re all funny but the 3rd and last spot is my favorite, had me cracking up. Enjoy.
This one’s been stirring controversy on message boards and blogs, but I think it’s overblown. You know how most fighters (but not all) touch gloves before fighting? But AFTER the round actually begins? That’s where the line has been blurred by the clip after the jump: Touch gloves. Drop guard. BOOM. 7 second TKO. This fight happened in March. Watch and draw your own conclusions…my thoughts: Shut up, people. The fight had already started! Touch at your own risk!
Ahead of the 2 UFC events in a couple weeks, the lovely Arianny found time to do some more photoshoots, next up is one for a magazine called Status Fitness. Due out sometime this month, this too-short video highlights some of the work done for the photoshoot, and as usual Arianny is oh-so-hot in some of these shots (yes, fitness shoot means bikinis & those tight-fitting short shorts). I can’t embed the video here but you can either see it at the link below (at Arianny’s official website, missariannyceleste.com, where it’s posted) or in the vodpod. Enjoy and be sure to pick up the magazine when it hits newsstands. I know I will…if I can find it around here, might have to go online.
In UFC Undisputed. And after beating a kid he goes Ken Shamrock on him complete with “grave digger” routine. I don’t know what’s funnier-Tito’s silly celebration (then again I’ve been known to do similar) or watching how he & the kid play the game. Anyway, the short and funny clip (about 45 seconds) is after the jump. Enjoy.
Well, at least when it comes to how to treat a lady…unless they’re asking for it. You might remember that internet sensation that was Quinton Jackson givng a Cage Potato female reporter an interview a while back…and some “special attention” to go with it. Now there’s this weird clip of Alistair Overeem giving some Dutch woman an interview (hence the language you won’t understand unless you speak it) and then he goes Cristiane Santos on her. OK, he pulls the punches (and kicks) a bit but she also does a nice sell on a right cross. There are a couple different parts to this in the clip below, skip to about the 1:15 mark for the first bit then skip to about 3:10 for more…then skip to about 5:00 for even more, daaaaamn! And get this woman into wrestling…or at least on “Sport Science”. She’d do well! Enjoy. And, in the final 10-15 seconds, watch for a classic EPIC FAIL moment.
Remember that video from before UFC 101 that showed BJ Penn apparently legit jumping out of a 3 foot pool and sticking the landing? He just got one-upped by UFC newcomer Jake Rosholt who pulls the ownage by jumping out and sticking the landing forwards…and backwards. Daaaaaamn! Clip after the jump, enjoy.
