    “It works for TMZ”-ESPN

  2. Adam Smith says:

    Sounds like Frank Mir may have had a hand in it…

  3. Mark says:

    ESPN doesn’t even really care that much about the UFC, do you think they care if they get the WEC results correct? Someone probably just assumed it was a squash match and put it on the scroll without double checking. Either that or they didn’t care enough to tell who was who.

  4. Dave says:

    Somebody probably told them the ‘guy with the bad hair’ one and they just assumed they meant Torres’ mullet and not Bowles’ legoman hair.

  5. Mr_Mike says:

    The correct term for Bowles hair would be a mop top, as made popular by the Beatles.

    @Dave
    Thats hilarious and totally right on!
    I just spit on my keyboard.

    I hate ESPN almost as much as
    I hate Mike Goldberg

  7. Darce says:

    too funny, Adam Smith, had to get up off the floor after reading that. LMFAO

  8. Ben Hebert says:

    Also commented that Anderson Silva was defending his light heavyweight title against Forrest Griffin
