I commend the Hearts fans at least for trying to raise their game in Rangers absence.

Hell, the last football game I saw in person was Hearts vs. Celtic in May 2011. The atmosphere was toxic as fucking hell, more like a DMZ than a football game. One of the Hearts fans even jumped the fence and took a swing at überprick Neil Lennon.

But very few sporting rivalries will ever come close to the Old Firm.

Wrestlemania really was terrible. Man Utd vs Man City will for sure have more fighting than, Wrestlemania and Mou vs Machida put together, because Utd has basically already won the League which means City players are gonna play rough and supporters are gonna funnel their anger.

I'm gonna take a look at that anime show poly.

Hopefully Hardy can fight again once he has that heart operation. I'm a fan of Mein vs Brown since now I won't have to root for both of the fighters.

I can see the argument for Hardy vs. Brown being a great scrap on paper, but yeah Mein has way more potential as a fighter than Hardy in my opinion.

How would Struve do against these guys?

Editing on this one takes Bad MMA to a new level.

One of these guys almost punches a random brick laying on the ground. It's one of the best fights I've seen all year.

I dunno, another run with Brock doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Was he really signed for more after Mania?

It struck me as the end when he said 'thank you' to the fans again and again as he walked down the ramp. Not to mention the corny theatrics after the match.

this is straight from meltzer, playboy.
There is absolute panic at Raw at this moment. The show was scheduled to build to a segment where Brock Lesnar beat up Rock to set up next year's WrestleMania main event. Rock is not there. The word at the building is he went home. Vince McMahon, the writers and producers are in the process of redoing the show, evidently believing the angle has been nixed. Nobody knows any details as to what happened past that. The belief right now is Rock is not appearing and hopefully if that changes we'll get an update.

Who says Meltzer is beyond some dirt sheet favela tactics? Don't get short conned by the dirtiest sheeter in the game.

Maybe there's a shred of truth and the WWE was naive enough to think they could milk him longer, but it looked pretty damn clear to me that it was the end.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship organization released the following statement this afternoon:

“The UFC was appalled by the transphobic comments made by heavyweight Matt Mitrione today in an interview on the 'MMA Hour.'

“The organization finds Mr. Mitrione’s comments offensive and wholly unacceptable and -- as a direct result of this significant breach of the UFC’s code of conduct – Mr. Mitrione’s UFC contract has been suspended and the incident is being investigated.

“The UFC is a friend and ally of the LGBT community, and expects and requires all 450 of its athletes to treat others with dignity and respect."

I don't know how he thought he could get away with saying that as a public figure and an athlete... they're expected to be politically correct.

Didn't Rogan say similar things on his podcast?

This what Rogan said:
During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, co-host Brian Redban asked Rogan what he thought about "that tranny" [Fox], which started an eight-minute rant from Rogan that delved into the following commentary (via Fight Opinion): She calls herself a woman but... I tend to disagree. And, uh, she, um... she used to be a man but now she has had, she's a transgender which is (the) official term that means you've gone through it, right? And she wants to be able to fight women in MMA. I say no f***ing way.

I say if you had a dick at one point in time, you also have all the bone structure that comes with having a dick. You have bigger hands, you have bigger shoulder joints. You're a f***ing man. That's a man, OK? You can't have... that's... I don't care if you don't have a dick any more...

.......

Prior to her transition, Fox had served in the Navy as a operations specialist 2nd class for the U.S.S. Enterprise to support her daughter, born as the result of an unexpected pregnancy. Fox was also forced to quit college and work as a trucker in order to save money for gender reassignment surgery.

But despite the fact that Fox has physically identified as a woman for roughly seven years, Rogan claims that she is "f***ed up" for choosing to compete against female fighters—mostly due to the assumed physical advantages that Rogan insists come from being born a male: Look, [Fox is] huge! She's not just huge, she's got a f***ing man's face. I mean, you can wear all the lipstick you want. You want to be a woman and you want to take female hormones, you want to get a boob job, that's all fine. I support your life to live, your right to live as a woman.

Fight guys, yes. She has to fight guys. First of all, she's not really a she. She's a transgender, post-op person. The operation doesn't shave down your bone density. It doesn't change. You look at a man's hands and you look at a women's hands and they're built different. They're just thicker, they're stronger, your wrists are thicker, your elbows are thicker, your joints are thicker. Just the mechanical function of punching, a man can do it much harder than a woman can, period.

Yeah, I was listening to The MMA Hour a little bit ago and figured something would come down.

Also made some Lloyd Irvin rape choke jokes.

Fallen Xbot (cannot continue gaining levels in this class)
He's chromosomally a man. He had a gender change, not a sex change. He's still a man. He was a man for 31 years. Thirty-one years. That's a couple years younger than I am. He's a man. Six years of taking performance de-hancing drugs, you think is going to change all that? That's ridiculous.

That is a lying, sick, sociopathic, disgusting freak. And I mean that. Because you lied on your license to beat up women. That's disgusting. You should be embarrassed yourself. And the fact that Florida licensed him because California licensed him or whoever the hell did it, it's an embarrassment to us as fighters, as a sport, and we all should protest that. The woman that's fighting him, props to you. I hope you beat his ass, and I hope he gets blackballed and never fights again, because that's disgusting and I'm appalled by that.

not exactly PC, but i didn't read that as him calling her a disgusting freak because shes transgendered, but because she "lied" on her "license to beat up women".
