“It looks like a goats vagina”

July 6, 2008 · Filed Under 86, Quotes, UFC · 1 Comment 

“It looks like a goats vagina” were the words UFC commentator Joe Rogan used to describe Chris Lytles cut. Maybe I heard it wrong I’ll check in the morning but to me that was the most random thing to come out with. I think I might know what Joe Rogan is doing in his spare time though ;)

(If my hearing was working right) Joe Rogan wins comment of the night and should be given a bonus by the UFC :D

EDIT::: Turns out Joe Rogan did make the comment that a cut looked like “a goats vagina.” It was marvin Eastmans cut though. Check it out below, pretty nasty…

Jason Day: Fight with Bisping to be ‘Wicked’

May 12, 2008 · Filed Under 85, Quotes, UFC · Comment 

“Everything is falling into place. It’s just clicking, and I’m loving it. I just look at guys, and something says I want to fight them. It’s just instinct I guess. It’s just pure luck that this fight came up, and they thought of me. I still have four weeks and I’m in good shape now. This isn’t short notice at all. It’s twice as long as any training camp I get. I’m playing leapfrog right now. I think I opened up a lot of eyes with that [Belcher] win, and now I get to fight another guy who is very well known, who’s got a great reputation and has never been stopped. A win over Bisping and I jump another few notches on the ladder. Right now I’m loving how I’m getting matched up…. He’s just a well-rounded fighter. I think we match up very well. I have a lot of respect for him. It’s not like he’s a bad guy or anything, but I think it has potential to be a wicked fight…. I love to put on an exciting fight. I’m an entertainer. I’d rather put on an exciting fight and lose a close decision than have a boring grind-out that I win. Nobody likes to lose, but I want to have that marquee fight.”

The above quote is from Jason Day who is replacing Chris Leben in the fight against Michael Bisping at UFC 85 in London, England. Day came out of UFC 83 (his octagon debut) with a win over Alan Belcher.

Dana White: “I just wish I had 250 other guys like him”

“You see the passion he has for this sport. He told me once that he’d rather lose a fight and have the fans going crazy instead of winning a fight where the people are booing. That’s the kind of guy I want in my company fighting on my shows…. He just wants to be able to blow your mind every time he fights. That’s how he is. I just wish I had 250 other guys like him. If I did, this sport would be so far in front of everything else, it would never get caught.”

The quote comes from UFC President Dana White earlier today. Dana indicated that he does not have a problem with Wanderlei Silva losing more fights because he always puts on a show. Wanderlei Silva will be fighting at UFC 84 against Keith Jardine at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas

Urijah Faber Training Hard for Upcoming WEC Fight

Urijah Faber

“He’s super dedicated to what he does whether it be training for fighting, or supporting his guys in their fights. He’s respectful to his opponents, and doesn’t underestimate them. His training is excessive; a regimen that many would be and are hard pressed to keep up with. Some would call it overtraining, but to him it’s his every day thing, whether he has a fight coming up or not. The training level he kept up with this trip I took to see him was no more than when I went last august to sac and he didn’t have an impending fight. He’s got a funny sense of humor and a great rapport with the guys he trains.”

The quote comes from Urijah Faber about his upcoming WEC Featherweight title defense against Jens Pulver. The fight is set to take place in California on June 1st to over 8000 fans. This will be the biggest Featherweight fight of all time and only one man will leave the WEC Featherweight Champion.

Michael Bisping: I think fireworks are pretty much guaranteed.

Michael \“The fight [with Chris Leben at UFC 85] was offered to me the day after I fought Charles McCarthy [at UFC 83]. There wasn’t a single moment of hesitation from me. Not a single breath. Chris has put himself back into the mix at middleweight and if I want to go for the title then I need to beat guys like him. Chris has beaten a lot of good guys. 18-4 is a good record in MMA. He’s a colourful character and I like him…he reminds me of myself in some ways. He likes to fight and he’s a real person. Leben’s tough, has got heavy hands and swings hard and he’s skilled on the ground despite not being known for that. It might come down to who’s got the better chin out of both of us, but it could be more a case of who’s technically better. I think I’m technically better than Chris Leben. He’s quite a brawler, he’ll take a couple of shots on the way in to land one of his own. He chases people round a little bit so I think fireworks are pretty much guaranteed.”

Bisping gives his thoughts on his upcoming fight with Chris Leben at UFC 85 in London, England on June 7th.
