It's stick up kids, it's christian conservative terrorists, it's porno flicks

So I don’t normally write about things like this, because honestly this probably won’t be very interesting, but I thought I would try something other than shitty comments on music. Here goes.

Recently Tim and I have devoted an inordinate amount of TV time to Ultimate Fighter. The roots of this are unknown, beyond the fact that it is awesome to watch two dudes beat the shit out of each other. I never really felt the need to share this with anyone until we were catching up on episodes last night and I saw the Bisping and Ross semi-final fight. Obviously Bisping was the favourite going into the fight, simply because he has some actual technique, and appears to be semi-intelligent. Compare this to Ross who is a straight up brawler, and definitely hasn’t been shown to be very smart. He reminds me of Tank Abbott, which is honestly a huge compliment because Tank’s fights were always awesome to watch. Watching a guy go out there and throw bombs for a whole round is incredibly entertaining.

The actual part of this fight that made me want to write something about it was early in the second round, right before Bisping finishes it. They had been more or less standing up and chucking up to that point, when from out of nowhere Bisping throws a huge flying knee. Tim and I both lost it at this point. It was incredible. It’s around the 0:50 mark in the video below, and it is absolutely gorgeous.



Now that I am all caught up on episodes, I am all kinds of pumped up for the finale on Saturday. I will definitely be sitting on the couch just waiting for that to happen. I think the obvious predictions are Bisping in the light heavyweights and Ed in the middleweights, and I honestly can’t see it going down any other way. The light heavyweights should have gone to Matt, and I’m disappointed that he won’t be able to fight. I think him against Bisping would have been a war. I don’t think Josh has fought anyone of Bisping’s calibre yet, and he is going to get picked apart. Bisping has decimated both his opponents so far, and based on some other fights of his I have tracked down, he can brawl. It should be a good fight.

Ed is going to kill Kendall. I can’t see it going any other way. Now that he will actually be able to train back with Couture, and won’t be sitting around in some party house I think he is going to blow people away. His fights during the show sucked, but everyone knew who he was for a reason. Kendall is tough, but he would have lost his last match if the Canadian guy hadn’t been a pussy and quit. I’m pretty sure if Ed gets him on the ground Kendall is going to get punished.

And now the last fight of this show, Ortiz vs. Shamrock. I can’t imagine them building this one up better than they have. Dana White is a marketing genius, because I am confident everyone who has watched any of this seasons Ultimate Fighter is going to want to see Tito rip Shamrock’s head off. And there is no other way it could possibly go down. I tried to get a good video of the last Ortiz/Shamrock fight but YouTube has let me down, and the $1.99 they charge at the UFC homepage is ridiculous. By now, everyone knows everything on the internet should be free right? Whatever.

Next time I get motivated to write about something other than music you should expect a detailed rundown of why Entourage is one of the best TV shows ever.

Peace.
