I need a goddamn review of that Hogan grill. I wanna see how it REALLy works. Especially if those grill lids don’t offer any heat protection. Burns FTW.

Having extra weight divisions isn’t “against the unified rules”. Fighters are contracted to catchweights all the time.

I still think the biggest news story of the week is Gary Shaw saying at a press conference that he wants to expand the weight divisions, and already plans on having a weight division between Welterweight and Lightweight. Completely going against the unified rules. This is what happens when bad boxing guys enter the sport. Showtime is just as much to blame for this. They have seen what themselves and HBO have helped the sport become. And now they are allowing an idiot promoter to do the same thing.

I am waiting in anticipation for the EliteXC weight divisions…. Eventually I’m sure they will look something like this….

Super Heavyweight – 265 lbs +
Heavyweight – 265 lbs.
Cruiserweight – 225 lbs.
Light Heavyweight – 205 lbs.
Super Middleweight – 195 lbs.
Middleweight – 185 lbs.
Super Welterweight – 178 lbs.
Welterweight – 170 lbs.
Super Lightweight – 162 lbs.
Lightweight – 155 lbs.
Super Featherweight – 150 lbs.
Featherweight – 145 lbs.
Super Bantamweight – 140 lbs.
Bantamweight – 135 lbs.
Super Flyweight – 130 lbs.
Flyweight – 125 lbs.
Strawweight – 120 lbs.

Zuffa Myth rears it’s ugly head in the Wetzel article.

“Rather than lash out at Sen. John McCain’s famed assessment that MMA was “human cockfighting,” he embraced it and worked to create the regulation that made it legit.”

Hogan is a work unto himself.

Didnt Hogan say that he was supposed to be the face of the George Forman Grill but his wife was on the phone so they called George Forman instead. The guy is a joker.

Mateo – Hogan was indeed on QVC at Midnight EST hawking the grill and eating food from it. He was doing his usual brilliant sell-job. He’ll be on the channel all day long.

I don’t think Neon Deion is trying to bash MMA, although, it does in a way sound like it.

This does put Roy Jones Jr.’s support of Cock Fighting in perspective though. Well, really, it doesn’t, but athletes should try not to like a legit sport with something that truly is cruel and unusual to do.
