		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I don’t know how insanity defenses work in Nevada, but here in Massachusetts, they fail at about a 75% rate. And when they don’t, typically the person is committed indefinitely, so they might as well be in jail.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;m pretty certain temporary insanity is a completely different beast than pure  legal insanity as temporary suggests that someone &#039;blacked out&#039; for a brief moment where he couldn&#039;t differentiate between right and wrong, whereas completely insane means even at the trial and he can&#039;t tell the difference.</description>

		<description>The problem, of course, is proving the mens rea of such an act. Babalu would likely argue temporary insanity due to the adrenaline rush or what-have-you and it&#039;d be very hard to prove the criminal mind behind such an act. It&#039;s one thing when Panama Lewis was removing padding from gloves or James Butler taking off his gloves and then sucker punching Richard Grant bare fisted after a bout, but latching onto a choke a little too long is a bit more gray to prove criminal intent, even when he said he did it as revenge for the insults (hell, he could use it as part of a temporary insanity defense that he was blinded to right and wrong, yada yada).</description>

		<description>It certainly WAS/IS a criminal act.

The fight was OVER as indicated both by the tapout and the referee several times - to the extent that he had to be physically by the referee (quite physically, I might add).  This is beyond what is expected in a fight - the fact that they are two fighters, in the ring, involved in a fight does not give a fighter carte blanche to mete out the &quot;street justice&quot; he sees fit to teach the fighter a lesson.

Just as sure as if he had continued to strike a KO&#039;d opponent after the referee called a stop to the fight and then needed to be physically removed.  It was a malicious act and would not be considered to be within the normally accepted &quot;rules of engagement&quot;.

Quite certainly he could be charged and convicted.</description>

		<description>What Babalu did not was not criminal...who in their right mind would try and press charges? The fact is that those tow men were fighters and were fighting in a ring. Babalu could have very easily kept the choke on but didn&#039;t...not sure what all that means...but it is not criminal.</description>

		<description>Ref Yves Lavigne rates Big John &quot;the best MMA referee in the world along with Pride’s Yuji Shimata&quot; - isn&#039;t that the psycho PRIDE ref who drags lifeless carcasses to the center of the ring for more pummeling?</description>

		<description>To follow up on my earlier comment regarding the EntreMetrix, Inc. (OTCBB:ERMX) announcement of their acquisition of mixed martial arts promotion Gladiator Challenge.

The announcement of the deal was made part of a massive spam campaign announcing the deal before the company had issued an official press release to on the deal.

The illegal spam including thousands of e-mails and hundreds of spam blog posts announcing the aquisition in what can be assumed to be an attempt to boost the company&#039;s stock performance.

EntreMetrix is based in Irvine California and looks to my uneducated eye to perhaps be another reverse merger type deal like we saw with the IFL.</description>

		<description>Grape, I don&#039;t think it&#039;s reliably documented anywhere, but I believe the number I&#039;ve seen thrown around is about $44 million.</description>
