It's obvious that Howard just did some reading on MMA in order to pass himself off as an expert. The pronunciation errors are a dead giveaway. I wonder how he would pronounce Royce Gracie?

It's called Cauliflower ear. It's from the build up of fluid hardening. Boxers, Wrestlers and other grapplers, MMA guys etc get this. Basically, its from your ears constantly being rubbed up against in training. If you don't get the fluid drained immediately it hardens and becomes permanent.

Yea, Hendo was trying to remember the fighters. He was half right. Joe Son vs Keith Hackney from UFC 4 I believe. Back then the rules were different and this is the famous fight were Keith Hackney just bangs away at Joe Son's boys for a good minute. Pretty brutal back then.

I was initially disappointed to see this lineup because I hate the made-for-tv celeb games but after 20 minutes of watching I'm now actually excited to watch this week because the MMA fighters are just so unbelieveably bad at teh pokerz that I'm sort of learning something.

Everytime a clueless fish sits at my table I have no idea how to approach it because I've become so accustomed to playing solid players who take rational lines. I just don't know how to play against bad players....but seeing these MMA fighters play is giving me a whole new insight into the mind of a moron.

I know Patrik is rusty in NLHE, but did he really have to take refresher course from Henderson and Couture?

For some wrestlers and fighters, however, a cauliflower ear is considered a badge of courage or experience.

Don't want that badge. lol

I love how Howard basically confirmed that he doesn't know any mma fighters in his interview with Leeann.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Maybe they thought it would look tacky with all 6 sitting there with the logos plastered on their shirts?

Howard is the most annoying human in the world. Not to mention he plays like absolute crap.. HOWEVER I think he IS trying to get them to start talking because both guys are painfully out of their element.

didn't mind the first day and a half except for how creepy the mma fighters looked. Are they trying to say something with the mma fighters in poker gear and the poker players out of gear :S

Henderson is just aggressive enough and clueless enough to be dangerous.

Of course PA is bored, if he takes it down it's about as much as a single pot in his online PLO games

Damn those ears are really creeping me out, should've all come in wearing beanies

BTW how the hell did they not get Mike Swick on this? The guy has cashed in tournaments and is actually one of FTPs red pros as well as an MMA fighter.

Swick had a fight a few days after this episode taped.
