I kind of sometimes prefer ebooks too but, as a comparatist, I also like to be prepared to explore intertextuality and critical analysis of what I am reading.

Hometown hero Dustin Pague replacing an injured Francisco Rivera against Ken Stone. I'm happy about that because now I'll have a horse in that race.
My favorite part about ebooks (on Kindle) is the dictionary function. Its really helping to aggrandize my vocabulary.

I love that too but the problem I have with ebooks is all the stuff I scribble in the marginalia, especially when I'm referencing like 8 books at a time.
I've been using iBooks on the iPad. It does the definitions, but when I make a note about a specific character the notes don't appear for each instance of that name appearing later in the book. I think that'd be pretty useful in theory, especially with all these characters in Animal Farm.
Does the Kindle app do something like that? Which do you guys prefer?

Why does SF still exist? Feijao was suspended for a year for using banned substances.

Holy shit. Wasn't he in line for what, a LHW title fight? SMH.
As long as Showtime keeps paying, they'll keep finding guys to put in.

Taunting, how does it work? Would love to see that happen to Diaz, but even he isn't that stupid to try it in that sequence.
Also someone plzzzz GIF.

Last good headliner we had (on paper) was UFC 75 Jackson vs Henderson (for the LHW title).
We'd never get a fight like that now

Thank you. Seems sped up a little though making it seem less dumbassery than it was.
I want to watch more MMA with commentators that have accents.
Your savior mike rawse did his thing. Lets not make a big deal out of it.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
Why are people hating on this fight? It looks good to me. Stipe by decapitation.
I was expecting Dan Hardy to headline the show, considering that Nottingham is his hometown and all.
They've already been in Australia this year, right?
Anyhows: Carwin vs. Hunt is my prediction. Carwin says he should be ready in Fall.

So when does Travis Brown get real fights to move up the ladder? He knocks Struve's bitch ass out yet Struve gets to headline a UFC. Brown is pretty damn entertaining as well.

The unstoppable Travis Browne is currently matched up with Ben Rothwell at UFC on Fox 4. If he gets past him then I'd say he's in a decent position to demand a fight with a Top 5 guy to prove his worth. And after that maybe he can get a fight to determine the No. 1 Contender.
But he needs to promote himself a lot more to get there. Right now he just seems to be one of those beige personalities that blend together to comprise the mid-range of the heavyweight division. Hell, I didn't know he was undefeated until I checked up on him there.

We don't buy PPV's (even football couldn't shift them), fighters make a lot of money from PPV revenues, therefore fighters lose money fighting here it seems.
The UK guys like Bisping who are paid a shit-ton anyway don' mind as much as they get a "hometown" advantage, despite many of them now living in the US full time (Hardy, Pickett, Bisping, Pearson soon).
We won't have "big names" here when they lose money doing it.

Well, that and fighters don't like to travel. If I were an American fighter I would hate to have to fly long distance somewhere either just before a fight with the alternative being flying there 1-3 months before and having your full training camp there (with all the costs, culture shock, leaving family behind, loneliness, etc that entails.) That and with places like the UK you've got tax issues which I assume is just the cherry ontop.
Forrest Griffin fighting at UFC 134 is a good example of what I mean.
No east coaster will make it past semi finals in singles. Dis shit is fwee!

I firmly believe that Dragonball/Dragonball Z is not only the best show of all time, but the best thing ever.

This should be added to the schedule:
Also Bob Sapp just lost again in something called Road FC 008 in South Korea. Denis Kang was on that card too and won.

So Big Nog pulled out of 149 and Kongo is now fighting some guy I've never heard of. Every fight has changed on the card. Kongo is the last original fighter on it.
sooo i haven't been following this super closely but i don't get ufc 147 right now. are there seriously only four total fights booked for this? (all crap to begin with)
are they just going to buy out jungle fight to fill it out?
edit: oh i guess it's a tuf card? i see tba is in there too, but he's booked for 149 already and i think a couple other fights in the near future so not sure how that's supposed to work out

Mr. Meltzer wrote it up as:
And I'm going to interpret that as the UFC signing a football player to make his fighting debut against Kongo because it amuses me to do so.
Shawn Jordan is the guy who injuired Brian Stann, right? Funny. Anyway, it's a guy who beat Lavar Johnson in Strikeforce if that means anything to UFC-GAF.
Sherdog has Bad MMA starting in a few minutes. Sara McMann seems to have mysteriously disappeared from the fight card, though.

SAUCY!
Im honestly surprised the insurance deal ever happened. You wouldn't think any insurance company would take them in... It must cost a fortune per fighter for the UFC.
who am I kidding though, it's still chump change to Zuffa's overall take-in, especially when you look at how much the average fighter makes.

Rumble has finally gotten the message and moved up to LHW. I think this will be a good move for him.
