BJ hype is out of control every time he wins a fight or 2 impressively. After Stevenson and Sherk lots of ppl picked him over GSP, he loses that fight ppl come back down to Earth, he beats Florian and Sanchez he's unbeatable again, loses to Edgar, lots insist something must have been off that night/bad decision and he's still unbeatable, loses a second time ppl come back down to Earth, now he KO's an old Matt Hughes and he's amazing again?

Fitch is gonna decision him just like he does to everyone else.

Thomas Rios tried to make fun of Rogan for calling a Brazilian kick a question mark kick. Rogan comes in and lols him and then the Voice comes in to back Rogan up and drops some knowledge its great. Rios is a clown.
Wow, according to rogan. He just got rios fired from fighters only magazine upon his request. Dropping the cal on that guy.

as for rampage machida, after viewin it again a draw would have definitely been fair. 1st round is a total coinflip given judges' eyes.

At least Falcao won, if he lost the betting conspiracies would have been crazy.

Falcao-Harris round 1 looks super shady, no way Harris was gonna survive 7 more seconds and it looks like he might have tapped anyway.

Just for fun I counted the strikes thrown in the 3rd round of Falcao-Harris,
1st minute - Harris throws 2 punches and misses, Falcao misses a leg kick
2nd - Harris throws maybe 4 half-assed jabs that miss and one half-assed hook, zero strikes attempted by Falcao
3rd - Harris throws 4 more h-a jabs, a hook, upper-cut, and cross all misses, Falcao connects on his one strike attempt, a leg kick
4th - Harris throws 8 assorted jabs, hooks, and crosses, all miss, Falcao misses on his one strike attempt a jab
5th - Harris shoots, Falcao sprawls, and they each miss a strike on the break, Harris throws about 6 punches, misses them all, somewhat connects on a body kick, Falcao's high kick is blocked, nothing happens until 7 seconds left when Harris taunts Falcao, and Falcao finally shows some fire and throws about 4 strikes

Exciting stuff

Best part of the round is after the round when Harris runs back to his corner, arms raised and looks convinced he's won the fight.

Not really sure why Rogan was so critical of Falcao, he was up 20-18, 20-18, and 20-17 so it was Harris he should be pissed at. He's the guy who should've been going for broke trying to finish, Falcao was playing it smart.

I heard about the clock error right after the fight, but wasn't able to confirm it.

Would have definitely been over if he got the full time.

Haha wow awesome. **** just got real for sure.

"Joe Rogan - Rios no longer writes for Fighters Only magazine. I got him fired.
First time I've ever done this to a so called mma journalist, but I've had more than enough of these ****ing zeros clogging up the sport with their incompetent ********.

You wanted my attention, ******? You got it."
11-23-2010 , 12:30 AM
yup and jonathon snowden just picked up on the homophobic comment and is using for his new piece on bloodyelbow.
11-23-2010 , 12:42 AM
Lol at a full page article on someone using the word ******. Joe just posted sorry, change it to ********** then. Hes right the guys a joke.
11-23-2010 , 12:42 AM
I think getting him fired (if that really happened) was going way too far. But man, Snowden really is a ******.

oops!


And here's a real gem:

Quote:
I also understand his frustration with Rios, a needlessly negative journalist I don't personally care for.

hahahhahahaha, Snowden calling someone else "needlessly negative," that's too good.
11-23-2010 , 12:48 AM
Well he got fired from Sherdog for doing the same ****, and then gets hired somewhere else and keeps doing it. Apparently using clever words doesn't change the fact that he is straight up a ****ing herp derp, and socially ******ed. The guy tweeted a fighter after the fighter lost gloating to him that he was right by saying "you're welcome". Please tell me why a professional "journalist" should be taunting pro fighters after they lose. Sorry not mad at you CC, Rios just tilts me haha.
11-23-2010 , 12:52 AM
stop hurting my feelings

Rios's articles all suck anyways, I don't really care that he got fired in the sense that I won't be missing anything. But it does kind of suck that he has to look for another job...
11-23-2010 , 12:55 AM
Agreed, chocula.

Some people really need to check their ego at the door and that goes for everyone involved. Something as a dumb as a comment on twitter led to rios being fired and rogan being put under the microscrope for a dumb back handed comment. All of this, resulting from a debate about what the proper term for a stupid kick is. Really embarassing, for all parties involved.
11-23-2010 , 12:58 AM
It would be overboard if it wasn't Rios who had said it, I agree. The guy has been fired for spouting embarrassing bad write ups, predictions, and straight up trashing fighters. So yea its basically just the straw that broke the camels back...again I guess.

Joe Rogan's Homophobic Rant
Quote:
Calling Rios a homophobic slur of the most repulsive variety

But the repulsive name calling is inappropriate in any circumstance.
snowden likes it in the butt me thinks


rogans response is pretty epic awesome. although i assume the term coc ksucker is offensive to gay people too lol, he should have just replaced it with mother fu cker
11-23-2010 , 01:44 AM
I don't think Rogan gives a damn. He'd call Snowden a ****** straight to his face
11-23-2010 , 01:53 AM
Rogan has to know better though, that's a pretty ballsy thing to say this day in age where everything is repeated tenfold

I'm sure he doubts saying it in hindsight although he obviously means it.

His reply is pretty perfect calling Rios out for using the homophobic slur to deflect from his wrongness

Quote:
As for my use of the offensive word "f**got" please accept my apologies and replace it with "c**k-sucker."
11-23-2010 , 01:57 AM
I personally don't think it's a big deal, but it's a huge oversight on Rogan's part to use that word in a public forum like that.
11-23-2010 , 02:00 AM
Yeah I mean, Rogan has one of the best gigs in the business. I know he doesn't give a ****, but mistakes like that can really get you fired
11-23-2010 , 02:18 AM
I didn't even notice really, I showed one of my friends who doesn't really follow MMA and first thing he said was "Can Rogan get away with saying ******?" I was like yea why not? I guess I am wrong. Regardless Rios is trying to draw attention to it to deflect that he is a massive douche. The guy can write but he doesn't know **** about fighting. All you have to do is listen to his response to the Mccorkle stuff to know hes just socially ******ed and a hipster douche.

The thread discussion on BE for the Snowden story is pretty epic trainwreck
11-23-2010 , 02:24 AM
How many people actually get personally offended by some random public figure calling someone a ***? It seems like all the uproar over these sorts of comments are people worrying about other people getting offended. I'm sure every english speaking gay person is aware that *** is a widely used as a standard issue crude insult, which is clearly how it's intended in this context. I couldn't care less about this personally but I agree with Mikey that Rogan should have had the foresight to just avoid the whole situation.

On another note, I found my enjoyment of reading BE increased measurably once I started auto-skipping over anything written by Snowden. He writes such a high percentage of trolling and/or completely asinine posts that I think he brings down the credibility of the site as a whole, which is a shame because most of the writers there are quite good.

The south park episode on the word basically sums the whole issue up perfectly. I call people ******s all the time, most the time jokingly, and not really implying they are gay... its just a word we have used since we were young, correct or not really. I have gay friends that I have called ******s jokingly and they don't care cause they know what I mean.
