The Nipple Tweak Keeps a Winning Record
Remember back when GSP was playing with his nipples before a fight and claimed it gave him good luck. Then when Rashad Evans did the same thing and won a fight he was a major underdog in. Well last night Keith Jardine did the same thing. Guess what? He won.
So from what I remember seeing that puts the nipple tweakers at 3-0. So if you have anything good coming up or you play the lottery tweak your nips before it. Who knows you might win a few million dollars and not have to work again. Just think about the benefits.

Chuck Liddell is on a Mission to Regain His Title
Chuck Liddell @ UFC 37
“He finds a way to win. He’s done a good job controlling his fights. He’s good on top, and he moves well on his feet. He’s elusive and hard to hit, but I’m going to see if I can catch him…. I’m on a mission to get my title back and end my career on a streak of wins. I’m in shape, and I’m going to keep throwing like I do. The knockout power is still there.”
While talking to Sherdog.com earlier today Chuck Liddell discussed upcoming opponent at UFC 88 Rashad Evans. If the Iceman was to win the main event fight next weekend chances are he will get a shot at Forrest Griffin to try and reclaim the light heavyweight title. Chuck Liddell is currently favorite to win the fight at -260 over at BetUS as of writing this article.

James Irvin: Rashad Evans is Taking A Step Down at UFC 85
“I’m just so happy that he would even take the fight against me. I consider him an ‘A’ level fighter, and I consider myself a ‘C’ level fighter, maybe a ‘B’ level because I just beat Houston trying to claw my way up to the top. So for him to take a step down and fight me, I’m greatly appreciative of the guy, who is someone I look up to as one of those top tier fighters.”
The quote above came from James Irvin. Irvin will be fighting Evans at UFC 85 in London, England. It was all made possible by Chuck Liddell tearing up his hamstring. Irvin as he says above considers himself a ‘B’ fighter after KO’ing Houston Alexander at Fight Night 13. The knockout was only 8 seconds in from a superman punch.
UFC 85: Chuck Liddell’s Replacement
