K*Lovely's Weekly Rampage Thought wk 10

Well, we are another week closer until Mr. Rampage Jackson steps back in the cage. These last couples of weeks have been pretty quiet, at least on his end. Aside for a few “yo momma” jokes on twitter, he hasn’t said much about the fight or his training. I’m sure this means that his training is going well and is fully focused on the task at hand.

As far as the fight goes, Machida has some interesting events. It appears he came to the states and did a few weeks of training with Mike Swick at the American Kickboxing Academy. After the 2 loses he probably came to realize he may need to mix up training a bit. I hope Rampage is doing the same with his training. I don’t think there is such a thing as being over prepared for an opponent and hopefully Rampage’s camp is covering every angle possible in these weeks leading up to the fight.

UFC did release the official the promo for the fight, so as long as no one gets injured in training, all systems are go. Being that I have already booked my flight, room & have my ticket, nothing better stop this fight from happening. My heart just couldn’t take it.

Well, that’s it for me. In case you haven’t seen it I will post the promo for all eyes to see. Don’t forget to check back on Wednesday (http://wommanthoughts.blogspot.com or http://fisttacuff.com) for the TUF 12 recap. We got you covered if you’ve missed the show. As always you can also check us out on twitter (@woMMAn) for the latest happenings. We welcome predictions, comments, whatever you want. We always respond and always have something to say. Keep it real people…until the next time.

K*Lovely's Weekly Rampage Thought wk 8

All right people, book the flight, book the hotel because it is happening! Tickets for Rampage's next fight have gone on sale. The fight will be in Detroit at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Novemeber 20th. I can't even express how excited I am.  Even though Rampage is going into this fight as the underdog, I'm staying on the positive side. The one fact that anyone can't deny is that this will be a great fight. Machida is anxious to get a winning streak going again and everybody knows that Rampage is salty from losing his last fight and wants redemption. Rampage has stated that he started his training camp early and stayed in shape from his last fight. He also said that "Every single minute of this camp will be focused on technique, not getting back in shape or shaking the ring rust after a long time off." I personally can't wait to the trash talk tweets to begin. He has thrown in a few here and there, but I'm sure as the fight gets closer he will have more to say. Now, just don't get to distracted by the trash talk Rampage. I know when this fight comes you'll be ready to go to war and you'll send this girl back to San Diego very happy. No pressure Rampage but it will be my birthday weekend, so that should give you that little extra motivation.

This card is impressive, so if your not on the Rampage train like me, there is plenty of other great fights to be pumped about. There is the 3rd fight between Hughes and Penn, Munoz vs Aaron Simpson and the return of Karo Parisyan. Other fighters rumored to be on the card are Lauzon, Sotiropoulos, Matt Brown, Phil Davis and Tyson Griffin.

Well that's it for me people. Don't forget that today kicks off fight week. We have a new episode on Wednesday of The Ultimate Fighter and on Saturday we have UFC 119. Got to love it!! I'll be back next week with another Rampage thought and don't forget to check out my TUF recap after the show. Until then....adieu.

K*Lovely's Weekly Rampage Thought wk 6

Yes folks, it’s Monday and it is that time for another weekly Rampage thought. I am in week 6 of this and have 10 more weeks until my favorite fighter steps back into the cage. Now I have been patiently waiting for the announcement of where this fight will be taking place. Finally the answer came in and this fight will happen in Detroit on November 20th. Besides the excitement of this fight I couldn’t be happier that the weigh ins will take place on my birthday! Yup, happy birthday to me. Ok, back on track. From what I’ve read, it seems as if people are not giving Rampage much of a chance against Machida. Now I am a fan of Machida’s just as much as anyone else but he is not super human. Shogun proved that it is possible to beat him and even exposed some weaknesses. Rampage can defiantly capitalize on these, plus we all know that Rampage has great knockout power. Both of these guys are coming off big losses and have a big point to prove with this fight. I don’t see why it’s such a big reach to think that Rampage actually has a chance. I can be the first to admit that Rampage didn’t look his best when he fought Rashad, I mean I was there to witness and it was heartbreaking. However, he is not going into this fight with the same distractions, such as filming a movie. He can solely concentrate on his training. In his recent tweets he has said that he has begun his training in Huntington Beach at the new Ultimate Gym. This excites me! Not only is he training close to me, but he is getting down to business. Work on everything you can Rampage. Prove all the haters wrong and show that there is never a reason to question your heart. Besides, a victory on your part would be the ultimate birthday present.


Well this week I kept it short and sweet. See you next week with another thought. I always have something to say.

K*Lovely's Weekly Rampage Thought wk 4

Well here we are again for another weekly Rampage thought. I can’t believe I’m already in to week 4! Who knew a girl could have so much to say about Rampage.


This is another week where there things have been a little quiet on his side. He’s been overseas promoting the movie so he hasn’t had much time to devote to his shit talk. Now don’t get me wrong, he did find time for some, just not as much as normal. As much as I think he should fully concentrate on Machida, Machida wasn’t the biggest victim of the word slaying. With Machida he got the normal piss breath joke, however King Mo was the bigger target this week. This isn’t the first time these two have exchanged words. I believe it started back before his fight with Rashad….you know the whole “Mo is the king of dungeon breath” thing. When Rampage lost the fight to Evans, King Mo laid it on thick and had a field day with the loss that he predicted would happen. Now the sparks have ignited with King Mo’s recent loss on Strikeforce last weekend. Rampage wasted no time and hopped on Twitter and laid into him. The basic sum of it was that King Mo should never talk shit again since he couldn’t win his first title defense. After that tweet Rampage followed up with another tweet defending the previous one. I guess there were some people that didn’t agree with his choice words. It doesn’t surprise me at all that people would run their mouths and give him shit about what he said. As long as Rampage has been around he has never been one to hide words. Like me, he always has something to say. It really should have been expected that Rampage would come back with fighting words for King Mo after that loss. It just wouldn’t be the Rampage I love if he didn’t. Don’t defend yourself to them Rampage! Most of the people that were blowing up your twitter are the same people that hide behind their computer’s to talk trash then turn around and ask you for an autograph and a prom photo when they see you. I embrace and encourage your shit talk. Nobody can ever say that’s it not entertaining. I say keeps it coming, just as long as it doesn’t distract you from handling your business with Machida. Make me proud Rampage, never change!!!

Now I happen to come across a nice hype video for his upcoming fight. It’s not an “official” hype video from UFC but it’s just as good, if not better than one they would put together. Still waiting on word where this fight will take place, but it doesn’t matter…I’ll be there…cheering him on! Since I’m such a nice girl here is the link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B7wJAfeHjs) I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

That’s it for me peeps. I’ll be back next week with another thought. Don’t forget that this is fight week and UFC 118 is Saturday. This should be great fights with the rematch of Penn & Edgar, not to mention Florian vs Maynard, Couture fighting some nobody & Diaz vs Davis. Most people know about my love affair for the Diaz brothers, but that’s a whole different blog itself. Have a good week! Peace out!!!!

K*Lovely's Weekly Rampage Thought wk 3

Another Monday upon us and so that means it’s time for another weekly Rampage thought. This week has been pretty quiet as far as news goes. No one has pissed him off or complained about something that he has done so all is right in the world. Well, at least for this week. If you follow him on twitter, he has said that he is visiting South Africa and then a quick trip to Japan. After his vacation he will get to the hustle and begin his training for the Machida match up in November.


There were some rumors buzzing around that this fight might be held in Chicago but UFC put those rumors to rest. Chicago was considered for UFC 123 but it looks like UFC will not be visiting the windy city until 2011. Bummer for them. You know UFC, San Diego would love for that fight to happen here. I thought we treated you well when you brought the Versus show here at the beginning of the month. Give us another shot. Matter of fact I will offer up my services. I can personally make sure Rampage gets to all of his appearances, press conferences, workouts, weigh ins, etc. Just a little something to think about.

Now I did happen to see something about Rampage that made me giggle. Bleacher Report did an article on the 10 craziest MMA fighters. Rampage came in at number 8, mostly for backing out of the Rashad fight to pursue the A-Team movie and of course that little incident he had. You know the hit and run and police pursuit thing he was involved in. Everybody has bad days people, but to call him “bat-crazy” is a little harsh. I think “slightly off” that day fits much better and the movie thing shouldn’t even be mentioned. He was listed among others like Tito Ortiz, Brock Lesnar, Lee Murray & Jesse Taylor. All of those fighters seem to have much bigger issues than Rampage…don’t you think?

Well that’s it for me my people. Hope everyone has a wonderful week and don’t forget to watch the big WEC Cruz vs Benavidez fight on Wednesday. That fight card is stacked and should make for some incredible fights.

K*Lovely's Weekly Rampage Thought wk 2

Another week gone by, which means it’s time for another weekly Rampage thought. Unfortunately, no confirmed news on the location of where his next fight will be but Rampage did manage to make news again. Rampage made some waves with a little spat he’s having with the rapper The Game. Apparently The Game is still butt hurt that he didn’t get the B.A. part in the A-team. This little battle between them has been going on for a little while but I thought it would be over once the movie came out. C’mon now Game…stop this. First off, why are you going to mess with a man that gets paid to fight inside a cage? You may be hard, but Rampage will knock your ass out! You deserve to be on Ed Lover’s next episode of C’mon Son. He just sounds real foolish right now. You may nailed the audition, grew a mohawk, bought some bling and all that jazz, but it was someone else’s decision to cast him. Rampage didn’t force anyone to give him that part. You thought you had it in the bag but you didn’t. Like they say, that’s show biz! Maybe hire Rampage’s agent. After all you think he stole that part, hire the people that helped make that happen. Basically just do something else because, in my opinion, you look chumpish.


Now Rampage got wind of the smack talk The Game was doing and actually challenged him to a “spar session” Don’t waste your time with it Rampage. He’ll talk some more crap for a little while and then he’ll kick rocks. You just do you until it’s time to get down to training for your next fight. Let that be your main focus. Not some rapper who still salty over a movie part. People are always looking for a reason to make you look weak, don’t give them any fuel by wasting any more time on this non sense. You don’t need to defend yourself on this matter. Now for your sake Game, don’t respond to the challenge. Just go back in the studio and make another CD. After all I miss your rhymes.

Well that’s it for me my peeps. Remember to keep checking back, every Monday will be a new “thought” until the week of Rampage’s next fight. You know me; I always have something to say. TALK HARD!

K*Lovely's weekly Rampage Thought

Hello World!!! It’s been awhile since you’ve heard from me but now, get ready to get your fill. Beginning this week I will have a weekly “thought” leading up to my favorite fighter’s next fight. That’s right RAMPAGE!!! No one was happier to hear him confirm his next fight and it will happen on November 20th, the day after my birthday. His next opponent is no walk in the park. He is up against Lyoto Machida. There is a rumor that this fight will happen in Germany, but that has not been confirmed. I really don’t care where the fight happens. I have missed him dearly and can’t wait for his return. I have all the confidence in the world that he can pull off a victory. A true fan never loses faith.



Now this week it seems, once again people are drinking their haterade and have nothing but negative comments about him. Apparently Rampage did an interview stating that if acting paid him either equal or greater amount as fighting did, he would quit fighting. I’ve read article after article that interpret that means he has no heart for fighting and is only in it for a paycheck. To them I say….SHUT THE HELL UP!!! First off if you believe everything you read from an article you’re a dumb ass. Writers misinterpret things all the time and often leave things out. Secondly, this man has a family to support and take care of. That is a responsibility that has to be handled much longer than a career in fighting. Getting punched in the face, kicked in the body, and slammed on a map is not something you can do forever. Who wouldn’t give up something to get paid big bucks for reading some lines off a script and saying them in front of a camera? If you say “not me” than you’re either lying to yourself, or you’re just a fool. Nobody loves seeing this man fight inside a cage more than me, but I completely understand where he’s coming from. Look at the Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. He was in wrestling and gave that up for acting. Now look at him. He has made successful movies, very recognized, is still in great shape, and people love him. Please don’t try and say he’s a better actor than Rampage either. Neither one of them is ever going to win an Oscar, so just kill that noise before you even begin.


Don’t listen Rampage! As long as I can see you do your thing, whether it is in a cage or a movie screen, I’ll be one happy girl. Besides I think the less damage to that handsome face of yours the better.


Well, that’s my 2 cents for this week folks. I’ll be back next week with more thoughts of the happenings of Rampage. Stay tuned cause this girl always has something to say. Until then I bid you adieu.

K*Lovelys TEAM RAMPAGE BLOG week 8

Well who would have thought that Team Rampage’s last hope for their only win would come down to Big Baby. This is life’s way of just mocking me completely.

As usual the episode starts of recapping what happened in the last fight. There is something that still baffles me & that is why these guys are so damn tired in there. Both fighters were exhausted after 2 rounds. How would they ever survive 5 rounds if it came to that? Come on boys…work on that cardio!!! AS much as I would have like to see a 3rd round from Scott & Matt…it just wasn’t in the cards for Team Rampage. Then the focus is turned to Rampage & how he dismantled the door. As sick as it may sound I was slightly turned on (I kid…but not really!) Maybe this says a lot about me but I completely understand why he took his frustrations out on that door. Sometimes it’s hard to find a focus and learn how to channel your anger correctly, and you could clearly see it was something later on he was embarrassed by.

Now what kills me was Rashad talking his trash about that. This is coming from a guy who took off 1 of his shoes because he couldn’t take Rampage in his face talking shit. Who just takes off 1 shoe?! Come on now Rashad, take a look back at the way you’ve handled things before you talk trash about Rampage’s mini fit. Moving on….

Now I just absolutely love how Marcus is. His excitement for the sport and his willingness to just shut up & learn is great. I think that kind of attitude will carry him far & it’s certainly something a lot of people could learn from. There is no way he can change his image after everyone saw how scared he was of that bug! I will give him this, that bug was pretty nasty!

Marcus Jones vs Michael Wessel

In the beginning of the round Michael comes out and lands the first blow. Marcus is able to land some good shots, but is also throwing some wild punches. The mistake comes from Wessel when he tries to trip up Marcus. With Marcus’s size he was able to shake that off and get Wessel down & lands right on top of him. Wessel then gives Marcus his back but Marcus can’t sink in the choke. Wessel maneuvers his way back on top, but out of now where Marcus sinks in a nice armbar and fight is over. Finally a win for Team Rampage!! Sorry Rashad no sweep for your team.

Now the time has come to pick the fights for the quarterfinals. As you see Rashad has to start talking trash to Rampage. From the looks of it everyone see Darrill or John as an easy way to get themselves to the semifinals. Marcus is the only that comes in & really doesn’t care & leaves it up to his coach to pick his fight. The breakdown comes to this

Roy Nelson vs Justin Wren
Brendan Schaub vs Jon Madsen
James McSweeney vs Matt Mitrione
Marcus Jones vs Darrill Schoonover

Now Rashad really worked my nerves at the end of this episode. Actually he pissed me off!! First came the remark about Rampage and the fact that Dana let him pick the fight for Marcus. He said it is a privilege & that he hasn’t earned it. WHAT?!!!? If you ask me Marcus had one of the most exciting finishes on the whole show. He did earn it! Just because you have more fighters in the quarterfinals doesn’t make you god. That was bitch move #1. Now bitch move #2 comes when he starts to ask Team Rampage to help train his team. I have no problem with the fact that he asked. The problem came when he asked the guys and they didn’t want to have anything to do with it, all he could result too is bashing Rampage once again! He thought that the guys from Team Rampage would jump at the chance to go over to his team & that was a blow to his ego that the team stuck by their coach. Maybe if he had kept his mouth shut the other team would have been more willing to help out the other team. This is something I’ve said the entire show…if Rampage would have done that everybody would have been on the internet & twitter talking shit about Rampage. As you see Rampage and his team walk away and head to locker rooms and who has to follow behind talking trash, yes Rashad. Then he can’t handle it when Rampage gets back in his face & has something to say. Now Rampage is certainly not as quick with the comebacks, but he did have Rashad fall for the whole sucker line. That was some funny shit!

Stayed tuned people, I know we have been out for a while but we are back! Look forward to more blogs and we can’t wait to hear what you have to say!!

K*Lovely's Team Rampage Blog Episode 4

As normal they start of with the show recapping what happened in the previous fight. We are forced to listen to each of the fighters discuss how they have gained respect for Kimbo after the fight he had with Roy. Something I don’t understand is why Roy felt the need to an asshole like that after the fight. I can’t stand how he (Roy) walks around like he had the biggest victory of his career. I wish Rampage knocked his ass out. That was completely unnecessary for him to say something like that to the coaches after a sorry ass win.

Next thing we see is Marcus walking out covered in sweat. Of course this looks like a big opportunity for Kimbo to come back and get another chance at a fight. The one question I have is….why aren’t the other guys on the team that lost, as eager to get in and fight again like Kimbo?

Now we are forced to listen to Rashad talk about his game plan for the rest of the match ups. Rashad starts going over each fighter and talks about their strengths and why he’s choosing the fights he choosing. One of the match ups he comes up with is Justin Wren vs Scott Junk. When talking with Justin in the beginning he says that he is ok with that match up and that it makes sense. Then a little later he comes back and tell the coaches he not happy with that match up because Scott and him are best friends. WHAT??? Get the fuck outta here….are you series??? If this was a problem then why did you try out for the same show? You are trying to be in the UFC & you know only 1 can win so get over buddy! Oh it’s kinda heartbreaking because we are crushing each others dreams….blah blah blah. I’m a female and I don’t even say shit like that. If my best friend and I tried out for the same show, made it, & then told we had to fight we would handle our business. Yes it would suck and it would be hard for the both of us, but guess what we came there with a purpose and nothing gets in the way of our money. Now lets move on to this Matt business. He gives up the game plan because he’s scared to fight Big Baby. I think the team let him of easy by only calling him a meathead.

Rashad announces what the next fight is going to be and he sticks to the match ups he made and it will be Brandon Schaub vs Demico Rogers. I actually excited about this match-up. Now with this match up I would have loved to see the weigh ins, but no such luck L. Now before the fight begins they always show each fighter preparing for the fight. The funniest thing I witnessed was 1 of the coaches walking next to Brandon and just pumping up his ego. I mean really boys!! You’re the best in world…you know that right?…no one has a better jab….you know that right?…i think you look cute in those board shorts….you know that right?

Demico Rogers vs Brandon Scaub

At the beginning of the fight Rogers shoots in for takedowns. He missed one but was able to get Schaub on the 2nd attempt. Rogers started out in full mount and Brandon is trying to get close to the cage. Rogers can’t seem to land anything from that position and you can hear Rampage telling Rogers to score points while in the guard. Then Rogers moves over to side mount and Schaub wiggles out of it. Schaud tries to stand up and get in a few punches but then Demico pretty much hands over his neck and Schaub is able to sink in the anaconda choke for the win.

My team is now 0-4 but I refuse to give up hope. I agree with Rampage that they need to start making better decisions when it comes to the coaching, but the guys need to execute. I’m confident that Team Rampage will come out with a win soon, and it won’t be because one of his fighters just laid his fat ass on the other opponent the whole time.

K*Lovely’s Team Rampage Blog Week # 3

Well this is the episode that everyone was waiting for….Kimbo’s big fight! The episode starts off with Kimbo getting all philosophical about his life and his fighting career. The other fighters in the house are really excited about this fight as well. They showed them a couple of times sitting around discussing what a big fight this is going to be. They speak a little about Roy and how completely independent he is. His coaches feel that he is opening up and beginning to trust them.


Now once again there was a little argument between the coaches that Rashad had to start for no reason! At least according to the way it was played on the show. Keith Jardine comes in, looking cute by the way, to help coach with Team Rashad. As soon as they greet each other, Rashad starts mouthing off about how Rampages jaw is going to start hurting when he sees “KJ”. Totally uncalled for! Now I don’t know if you noticed but when Rampage & Jardine are saying their hello’s, you can see Rashad hiding out in the hallway, listening to their conversation. I think he was just salty that they were civil to each other & no shit talk ensued so he had to say some shit to Rampage. Then McSweeney had to get involved like he’s somebody. Rampage is a coach and you are there to learn. It doesn’t matter if you are on his team or not, you should show him respect. Poor coaching skills on Rashads part if he allows his team to talk to people like that. Again, if Rampage had started that entire drama people would throw a fit!

After that they move on to Kimbo’s training. Rampage wasn’t happy with some it. He wanted Kimbo to train with heavier guys on the team so he could get the practice of having to escape a mount with such a heavy opponent. During the training they show Marcus throw a little tantrum because he wants to fight next but Rampage thinks he should wait because his knee is bothering him. During Marcus’s interview he just explains basically that he is a big dork that loves to garden. After that we get to witness the love affair between Kimbo and Marcus. It’s almost cute.
For some reason they felt the need to show them weigh in for the fight. Normally I would be excited as hell to see a weigh in, but come on! I thought that was a bit much, but that is my opinion.

Roy Nelson vs Kimbo Slice
In the 1st round the guys circle around each other for a bit, but Roy is able to land some shots to the face. Kimbo started throwing some punches and was able to push Nelson back to the cage. It looked like Nelson was going to try and take Kimbo down but then he just held him against the cage. You can really see the inexperience in Kimbo because he doesn’t have a clue what to do from there. Nelson is able to get Kimbo down on the ground and passes to full mount. A little bit of scrambling and the Nelson moves to side control and traps Kimbo’s arm. Nelson then starts punching at his head. Now these aren’t the kind of punches that he should be delivering, these are like little love punches. Dana described it best when he said those were the kind of punches you get when you let your daughter hold you down and punch you.

In the start of the 2nd round both of the guys look tired. Kimbo lands a nice shot to the face and Nelson starts swinging. Nelson is able to catch Kimbo up and take him down. Roy basically gets back in the same position he was in at the end of the last round. He traps up Kimbo’s arm & the fight is stopped because Kimbo can’t defend himself from the pussy punches Roy is landing. I love what Rampage said at the end of the fight, and it was completely true. How do you get the moon off of you? Once again Team Rashad gets a pathetic win, but it is a win. My team is now down 0-3 but I will never give up hope. Let’s go boys…get it together.

Team Rashad Win #3

What can I say this week that I haven’t already mentioned? Keith looked great. Rashad is amazing. I can’t stand Rampage, and Kimbo just needs to go away. Kimbo can do anything else, just stay out of the UFC. I know, I know, he’s fighting Dec in UFC 107, but that’s months away, and anything could happen by then. Nice guy or not, I’m not on the Kimbo bandwagon, and don’t plan on hitching a ride…ever. Don’t have anything to prove my ass. What are you doing on TV then? You can learn MMA outside of the lime light.

Disappointment of the week was Marcus. I don’t mind guys being in tune with their feelings, but WTF. I thought he was going to cry when he was talking about his plants. He pretty much threw a tantrum in gym like a 2 year old. I think I saw a pout from him. If he crossed his arms and put his thumb in his mouth, I would have slapped a diaper on him and gave him a bottle. First he walks around acting like his knees hurt, limping and all, and then the moment Rampage mentions that someone else was fighting next, he gets offended and throws a fit. That was definitely a foot-n-the-ass that I would have loved to have seen. You knew you didn’t want to fight, so you made it seem as if Rampage didn’t have faith in you to win. Whatever man. Just go home to your plants.

Kimbo Slice vs Roy Nelson
I think we all knew who was going to win in this week’s episode, and my prediction was right. As much as I am happy that Roy won, because he is on Team Rashad, I’m more so disappointed in his performance. A win is a win, but that was a copout. I hope his next opponent beats the crap out of him, and makes him work for his money. Why would you want to pull a Lesnar and sit your fat ass on someone, so they can’t move and swat them on the head multiple times until time runs out? Really? Is that supposed to impress us or Dana? Shit like that puts you on the “May not be broadcasted” portion of the fight card. I don’t want to pay to see that. This was your chance to showcase your skills and you just pretty much teabagged someone. No way you’re # 1 on this show. Sucks for Kimbo to lose that way, but what can you do when you’re in a crucifix and you’re not really an MMA fighter. He’ll have his chance to again soon. Hope he loses though. People at work think otherwise, and I’d love to prove them wrong.

As much as I cannot stand Rampage, I did chuckle at the fat jokes. So mean, but funny at the same time. You do see, however, that anytime Rashad brings up a point about Rampage, Rampage has to divert the negative attention back to Rashad. Rampage just wants to been seen as this fun loving, jokester fighter who’s had a flawless career, and any blemishes were a direct result of someone else’s actions. Whatever… we see right through your lame jokes.

So far I’m not impressed with anyone in particular. It’s still early in season and many more fights to go. Don’t forget there’s a WEC next Saturday. Cerrone vs Henderson. Ladies if you haven’t checked out Donald Cerrone, you need to. The Cowboy is definitely delicious eye candy. Guys, you know that this will be a great fight.

Have a nice weekend.

K-lovely's Team Rampage Week 2 Blog

This week the show starts out with Team Rampage naturally. Kimbo starts explaining how he is sizing up the competition on the show and the lack of experience he has in fields of MMA. At least he can admit that he has a lot of learning to do. I’m happy to see that the first asshead coming to light is on Team Rashad with Roy. Get over yourself buddy! I liked how the coaches gave it to him straight and told him they feel he is un-coachable and can’t handle criticism. The one thing I can’t stand seeing is coaches babying these guys. It was funny listening to Roy talk about 2 masters and such. Wake up Roy…you’re not a master dip shit! If you were a master your ass would either have a contract already or you would be coaching, not competing on the show. So as Jake the Muss would say “DO WHAT YOUR FUCKEN TOLD!!”

Time to pick the next fight and Rampage goes with Wes Shivers against James Sweeney. Of course Rashad gets his panties in a bunch because Rampage goes after his first pick. I mean he is going to fight any way why cry about what order it’s in. You go Rampage!

Now I would like to make a quick little mention about the little confrontation the coaches had about training time. I feel Rampage was justified at being upset about them in on their time. Rampage did approach him in a civil matter. As he said he is not the cocky one (he is the fine one) and Rashad could have been a man about it and apologized and moved on. To say that Rampage’s guys aren’t going to do anything isn’t his call to make anyway. Especially when his guys were just sitting around rubbing each other’s backs talking about feelings. Give me a break! I can tell you in two words how it feels to lose IT SUCKS! There you go, get your shit and get out of the gym. No need for a team pow wow. If the roles were reversed everyone would be crying & bitching that Rampage is such an asshole and blah blah. HATERS!

Wes Shivers vs James McSweeney
The first round (and only round with real action) both guys come out swinging. Shivers gets McSweeney down but really doesn’t seem to know what to do on the ground but hold him down with his weight. They stand up & McSweeney starts landing some hard leg kicks. Shivers is able to land some hard punches on McSweeney but you can see that Shivers is getting tired. McSweeney tries to land some big punches but the round ends with him getting in leg kicks and slowly chopping the big man down.

They start the 2nd round and both guys look tired. McSweeney continues to land those leg kicks and Shivers is swinging but isn’t landing anything damaging. Shivers catches a leg and takes McSweeney down. Shivers gets him in the mount but can’t finish him. They both get back on their feet and just look at each other. They are exhausted and you can hear Rashad in the background going CRAZY! McSweeney lands a nice kick to the face but it doesn’t do a thing. At the end of the round McSweeney attempts a choke but can’t hold it.

Its announced that a decision has been made so there will not be a 3rd round. By majority decision the winner is James McSweeney. I hate to say it but, this is the most pathetic fight I have ever seen!! Honestly I could expect this out of former NFL player but for Rashad’s #1 pick to be this horrid as well shocked the hell out of me! Especially since he said he has “stand up second to none & would walk all over Wes Shivers.” I think Dana should have walked right in the middle of the fight and told them both to fuck off! He doesn’t need heavyweights coming in that are just going to stand around and play patty cake. Honestly I don’t know how anyone could be happy with this win. Yes in the end Team Rampage lost another one and we are 0-2. I believe Rampage can do it and rally his team together for a victory. Yes, even if that means our first victory comes from Kimbo. My love for Rampage is the only reason why I would root for Kimbo to come out victorious.

T-Dubb's Team Rashad Win # 2

Second episode of TUF 10 was ok. Kimbo says he's a sponge. He looks like a big hairy joke. I can't stand it when people think they know everything and always have answer before you finish your sentence. Just shut up and listen. If you were doing things right to begin with you'd be a coach on the show and not someone trying to resuscitate his career through a tv show. Yes Roy, I'm talking about you. The next fight between Kimbo and Roy should be good though. I’d have to say that Roy will win just because he’s on Rashad’s team. I can’t go against Rashad. This will probably go to decision if Roy wins. Kimbo will only win if he knocks out Roy.

James is hot. Love the accent. There isn’t much else to say, except thank goodness he was able to get in those leg kicks. Rampage was complaining just to be complaining about the training time. He loves attention. Me me me me me!!! Wes…ummm why are you out of shape? Weights are not enough for fighting. Dana should have a to do list for the guys to complete before taping starts, like run...run...run some more and lots of conditioning drills. There should a test for these guys when they arrive. If you don't pass out after 10 mins of straight cardio you may enter. I don't want to see guys tire after the first minute of the fight, especially ex-football players. They should have done a boot camp or something beforehand.

On another note, I am so happy that Rampage is quitting. I'm sure that this temporary so all you whiner fans need to "build a bridge and get over it, as Hannah Montana would say. Rampage needs to learn that he can't blame everything on Dana or anyone else and act like he did nothing wrong. The real world doesn't work like that. Stop acting like the victim. You make it seem as if Dana is the Shug Knight of the UFC and he held you over a hotel balcony like you were Vanilla Ice and made you do this or that. Anyways, could you at least send K-lovely an email or tweet telling her when you'll be back in the UFC. I'm tired of hearing her say that she's in mourning. She’s already cried me 2 big ass rivers.


Well another win for Team Rashad. Rashad was looking good as ever. Can't wait for next week, but until then send me a tweet so we can chat it up.

Team Rashad Week 1

The premiere of TUF 10s first episode has strengthened my love for Rashad and heightened my distaste for Rampage. From the beginning of the episode to the previews of the upcoming episodes, I was hoping that Rashad would knock out Rampage. Rashad seemed calm about the situation. He was able to handle whatever Rampage was dishing.

Rampage on the other hand can’t handle someone calling him out on his own shit. Rampage’s the guy who will make fun of people to divert attention away from his own flaws. Like mentioning and joking about Rashad’s loss (first loss) to Machida, as if he himself has not lost a fight. He probably couldn’t wait to bring it up, which he did multiple times. I cannot wait for Rashad to put him in his place and that’s on the ground knocked out.

Team pickins’
1st, size does not matter Rampage (in this case at least). You can’t underestimate the smaller guys, especially when they have more skill and tend to be faster. At least mix it up and balance out the team, but hey, I’m not complaining, because the picks gave Rashad a great team and increased his chances of winning. 2nd, Kimbo, really? Why Rampage was so excited to have him on his team I’ll never understand. Have him. Maybe you guys can cuddle together at night. Maybe he can join you on the A-team and act as your stunt double. Kimbo’s the least of my concerns. I’ll have to see how he is locked in a house with a bunch of immature guys.

Can’t really say too much about the other guys right now, except I have a feeling that Wes Sims will get on my nerves, and that Marcus Jones needs to work on his cardio.

Elimination Fight #1 Abe Wagner v Jon Madsen
The assistant coaches for Rampage must be afraid of Rampage, because the 1st fight was not a matchup in favor of his team. They should have spoke up and told him “no.”

I thought Abe was cute until he puked. He reminds me of someone, but I’ll have to think of who later. Poor thing didn’t have any ground game, and just laid there taking a beating from Jon. He should have did what Tim Sylvia did when he fought Jeff Monson, and utilized his long legs to keep Jon closer to his waist, so he would have less blows to the face. That was a nasty gash, but at least he has war wound to show off at his day job.

Next episode should be great. I hate having to wait a whole week, but at least there’s UFC 103 to watch. Don’t forget to watch the prelims free on Spike TV. Hopefully, they keep showing these, because I never get to see the hotties at the bottom of the fight cards. I should send Dana my preferred fight card list. Who must be shown and who never needs to be show. Matt Serra would always be on the latter.

Time to hit Diego's streets. So send me a tweet @ http://twitter.com/TDubb_woMMAn.

Let The Battle Begin!!

Finally, a new season of The Ultimate Fighter is starting tomorrow. We are so excited to see the new crop of guys (except Kimbo…boooo!!!), who will be parading around shirtless and working up a sweat. Stretching and pulling, grunting and moaning. Oh yeah baby!! Of course we watch the show for the fights, but come on, we are woMMAn. Men are our specialty (and obsession). We hope that Dana will not let us down. We want to see highly competitive men, and less wimps and puss boys who want to go home to their mama (such a turnoff).

The anticipation of season 10 is extremely high here, and has already caused a rift within woMMAn. Why you ask? Three words for ya, Rashad and Rampage. Normally, we root for the same coach. This season, however, has created a clear division of worship between T-Dubb and K-Lovely. For the first time we will not only be blogging our thoughts about the episodes, but we will be in opposite corners. Team Rashad will have T-Dubb in their corner, and Team Rampage will have K-Lovely in their corner. We can’t wait to see who will ‘reign supreme’ in the end. Things may get heated up here in Diego, so be on the lookout for new blogs weekly.

Let the shit talking begin.
