Critics love to bash Mixed Martial Arts and say the sport is too violent and the only people that enjoy it are blood-thirsty, backwoods wackos.
Really? Hope none of those critics ever watch baseball. Looks like the fans at last nights Dayton Dragons vs Peoria Chiefs game were completely appalled at the fisticuffs. Baseball fans are so much more sophisticated…
(P.S. I am a baseball fan as well. Just for the sake of full disclosure)




This isnt really an example of violence in sports, this was an incident. Fistfighting is not actually a part of baseball, looks like there was some discrepancy about a call or something and a bunch of immature idiots decided to brawl.
A better example would be Hockey where fights happen almost every game and they actually consider it a part of the game. Something happens and a player gets upset and theyre “allowed” to fight another player. Ive always been against fighting in Hockey, ofcourse i like to see fights, but to me its a matter of sportsmanship. How can you have guys FIGHTING in a sport that has nothing to do with fighting? and ALLOW it! It really sickens me…
If thats the case, they should allow it in every sport, like if Mike Weir is a few strokes behind Tiger, should he be allowed to take a 9 iron to his dome? obviously not..
An actual case of a violent sport would definately be football… in my opinion a 300 pound guy blindsiding you and tackling you at the knees crushing your bones and ending your career is pretty violent. Ofcourse nobody has a problem with that..
People who call mma brutal are obviously uneducated about the sport..
a while back i seen a hbo special on old football players and how beat up they were some could barely walk or even remember there names.In almost every sport u take a risk,its just more noticeable in mma.
DOC, i just heard a rumor and i gotta know if you can confirm it.. Coleman vs Shogun in the UFC this december?????
WOW, i gotta know if this is really gonna happen, i guess this would mean Shogun is moving up to HW..
for those of you who dont remember Shogun vs Coleman 1, heres the full fight video including Colemans comments in the dressing room..

Then heres the video of Coleman trying to apologize to the Chuteboxe guys backstage after the fight..

oh man, cant wait to see the rematch..
wtf? posts not coming up doc..
so Richard whats your thoughts on Coleman vs Shogun 2?
well i dont think anyone is gonna go for coleman at all but if shogun gets beat hes in real trouble,but im saying rua by tko in second.The fight im starting to get anxious for is the bisbing vs leban fight its gonna be a war.
Richard, you gotta factor in the fact that this fight will be taking place at HW, i know Coleman is an old **** but i really dont know what could happen in that fight. I think someones getting hurt, i still think theres some bad blood there and judging by colemans age and Shogun moving up, i really think we will see another Injury stoppage.
About Leben vs Bisping, i think those guys are both looking for the KO and we already seen what Lebens chin can take but i think Bispings chin hasnt really been tested yet. Someones getting KTFO in that fight, i think Leben is gonna take it, even if Bisping decides to take it to the ground, Leben has enough defense to stop the shot and keep it standing. Should be very exciting tho..
OK WHOS WATCHING ELITE WITH ME?? hehe
we got the undercard in about 15 min.. then at 9 the main card..
come watch the fights guys..

So how bout those fights tonight guys?? not the best lineup in terms of star power, but they sure delivered alot of excitement. If you didnt see it, i say you download the event, or atleast watch Diaz vs Denny and Smith vs Lawler.
As a side note after Elite i decided to switch over to watch the Cotto vs Margarito boxing match. Lets just say i didnt get past the first round, i was bored to tears, i dont even know who won.. dont really care either..

u forgot about the women,i think gina carano better train her azzzzz off {literally} or shes getting koed.
P.N
im in love with gina carano so it hurts my heart to post this message
Not a big fan of womens mma, though it was a good fight.
Let me be the first person in the world to say.. i am NOT in love with Gina, sure she looks good, but shes not THAT hot. Im seriously tired of hearing about it.. same with Jessica Alba, get over it already people.. tired of hearing about how shes the hottest chick in the world. SHE ISNT.. not by a long shot, ive personally met atleast 50 girls who are way more attractive than both of them.
bvrasp
blasphemy!!!!!!!!
I think gina carano is **** cuz she does mma and she looks like a cool chick plus to me shes ****,i’d let her get me in a triangle any day.Now as for jessica alba shes hot but the whole does she or doesnt she have herpes kills it for me.Now bvrasp just so i can see where ur at what celeb do u think is the hottest????????????
Richard, lol @ blasphemy..
Ill say this, Gina is the hottest female mma fighter that i know of. Unlike some other attractive female athletes like Anna Kournikova, shes actually very good at what she does, shes at the top of the food chain in womens mma, so shes not just a pretty face.
First of all i want to say, i dont think the hottest woman in the world is a celebrity, not a chance in hell. The hottest woman in the world is probably just a regular person walking around somewhere going about her daily life dropping the jaws of her co-workers, peers, etc..
Which celebrity do i think is the hottest? Its really subjective to personal tastes so i wouldnt say shes the hottest, but shes the hottest in my eyes atleast. I happen to have a thing for asian women, that being said, i would probably have to say Kelly Hu.
She also has a blackbelt in a variation of Shotokan Karate and from what ive read shes an amazing fighter. Though i definately wouldnt want to see her getting punched in the face, it would make me sad hehe..
RJ i already know who your gonna pick for hottest celeb. George Gurgel LOL. I have to admit his hair is immaculate!!
bvrasp
awesome pick KELLY HU is smokiiiinnnn!!!!!!!!!
Ya no doubt Richard, like in that movie scorpion king.. dam she killed it with that sorceress outfit hehe
lmao @ Gurgel and his beautiful hair lol. im thinking of changing ALL of my sons names to George because if you think about it only great people are named George, Boy George, George Michael, George Gurgel lol. for real though if im going for hottest celeb i gotta go a bit old school because ive had a thing for her since way back, but Drew Berrymore is it man.
lol @ the georges..
I know what you mean tho RJ, some chicks just have a certain special *** appeal. They might not be “beautiful” from a conventional viewpoint, but they have that a certain special something that sets them apart from all the blonde big breasted clones these days.
Barrymore got that look, Uma Thurman has it too, just that sultry kinda thing, like shed be a real panther in the sack hehe..
lol panther lol yeah Umas my girl too, Kill Bill was boneriffic!
by the way B i signed up on letsbeef, im not sure why i singed up because i could check everything out before lol but what ever lol.
oh thats cool, let me know if you need anything on the site.. maybe some bling for your virtual MC lol..
lol yeah i was looking at that, how do you get different stuff? cuz if you gotta win battles and sh*t i might be outta luck lol. if my freestyle skills where like my baby making skills you’d call me Mos Def but i cant be good at two things lol.
hehe ya its like.. if you end up in the top 10 for the month you get your choice of an item, or if your top 10 in your “hood” meaning the region you entered in the signup, you get your choice of items. Winning a tournament gets you items and a custom title, etc..
oh man, im burnt lol. thats cool though i love the site, im not much in to the hiphop out right now but ive always loved freestyles and battles. i just like the passion you get from a mean battle rap, Nas-Ether is like one of my top ten favorite songs.
Besides the audio battles theres also a text section for people without mics or who just dont feel comfortable battling in audio. Or its good for just listening to battles if you want.. also theres a tracks section, tracks are way better than the pop junk you hear on the radio, thats mostly what i use it for these days. Ive long since retired from “battleing” plus its kind of a conflict of interest for a Moderator to battle.. though that doesnt stop some people hehe..
yeah im reading some of the text battles right now, you never know i might try to come up with something. and i like the tracks section there some cool sh*t there, that one guy you know John J has some good sh*t. that whole mixed tape you sent me too is awesome i still listen to it all the time.
by the way it suck that you dont battle anymore! the last one you did with Tipsy was nice!
heh nice, ya John J has got alot better, i talk to him almost everyday. Everyone has that friend thats so into music and nothing else, JJ is that guy, he must have a few hundred tracks and collabs by now. I think he makes tracks while he sleeps hehe.
The mixtape, ya thats what i got in my car too, alot of the older member of the site on it. Most of them pulled a Dennis and people speculate as to if they in jail or dead or something lol who knows man.
