I heard about that. Was there a reason?

Apparently he trains that way.

Personally, I think he made a bet with someone.

I remember Florian mentioning that he rolled with Benson and he kept the toothpick in his mouth then as well. I always thought he was joking.


Surprisingly, the WA state commission has no rule stating that you cannot fight with a toothpick in your mouth.

You saw tonight, Nate really didn't try to stop takedowns, he just figured "fine, take me down and lets see what happens on the ground"

I really don't have much to add here, but this is a really good point Mike.

Pretty good Suplex/KO on the Fuel TV prelims, courtesy of one those boring Greg Jackson fighters.

Watching tuf finale in Spanish is worth it because Werdum does commentary. Werdum!!!!!
Also I don't believe Cain deserves a rematch.

UFC is pissing on Jonny Hendricks. He has to fight Ellenberger at 158. Meanwhile, Nick Diaz loses his last fight, fails a post fight drug test, gets title shot in his next fight.

It's been an absolutely terrible year for matchmaking.

Colton Smith might have won the ultimate fighter but he didnt make any friends entirely ignoring the Harley Davidson rep (maybe CEO, I don't know) that was presenting him with his keys. He turned his back on the dude and started talking to other people. :ols:

Kinda ironic the UFC gives motorcycles as a prize when their fighters are contractually forbidden to ride them.

That is pretty odd. Even so, you don't ignore someone giving you valuable prizes, especially when their logo is on the floor of the octagon. That was funny.

Gotta love Big Country, won't beat top guys, but he will give everybody else hell.

Ya just don't wanna trade shots with Nelson. Hell of a chin, hell of a lot of power, saw that coming when Mitrone got drawn in to a rock 'em sock 'em contest.

Roy can throw hands and eat punches. Matt landed a mean kick to the head and Roy didnt seem to notice.
