"Some folks will want to get their posters signed by their favorite fighters, but this the age of the internet, and when it comes to fan requests the digital photograph has far surpassed the autograph. These days everyone’s phone has a camera, and everyone wants a picture of them holding their fist up standing next to Randy Couture on their facebook page. That is easily one of the weirdest and goofiest things about MMA fans; the fist-up pose with the fighter. I can’t think of another sport that has a pose that the fans take when they get pictures with the athletes where they mimic the activity they enjoy watching. It’s not just a few guys striking this dopey pose, either. It’s the majority. I can completely understand if you’re a fighter yourself, and you want an image of camaraderie with one of your sporting idols, but if you’re an overweight short order cook who’s never even taken a tae bo class, do the world a favor and keep your ****ing fist un-balled when you’re standing next to Anderson Silva.
Another unintentionally hilarious aspect of the MMA culture is the abundance of retarded macho "fight wear" T-shirts. The enormous financial success of enterprising clothing companies like "Tapout" have given birth to a rise of ham-handed imitators where each one tries to out retard the next. Images of chained up pitbulls and skulls are the norm with shiny foil letters to make sure you can clearly read the "Break my dick off in your ass – fight wear" label. At the last UFC in New Jersey I actually saw a guy in the audience with a shirt that said, "Some guys are strikers, some guys are grapplers… I’M BOTH!"
Good lord. Someone please find that poor **** and give him a hug.
The doucebaggery isn’t limited to T-shirts, either. I had one guy email me that actually wanted to sell me an pendant that was an MMA glove smothered in diamonds. The name of his company? "Hard as diamond – for those who are."
No bullshit.
Could you even imagine the near fatal levels of meathead you would have to be infected with to walk out of your house with a diamond encrusted fighting glove around your neck? On paper it doesn’t even seem possible.
You would think that if you were that retarded there’s no way you would be able to scrape together the kind of money you would need to purchase such an expensive monstrosity. The only way I could see it happen is if maybe the buyer in question won the lottery, or possibly won a huge settlement in some brain damage inducing accident at the local toilet factory or something. Talk about your small target markets."

I won't even wear a Tap-Out shirt if you gave it to me, it's the ultimate 909'r poser wear
Yep, "Tap-Out" stickers are slowly replacing Fox stickers on truck back windows.
I don't follow MMA enough to know shit about what they're doing, but Rogan seems like he does a good job telling the action. At least he doesn't spend half the fight talking/studdering about heart rate.
Could be worse. They could replace Rogan with that hand job from Bully Beatdown.
Thought he was a douche for doing FF, but after watching MMA for a while, he knows his stuff from an commentators perspective.
rhymes with gay!
I find it all rather hilarious. Can you imagine fans of SX/MX while getting pics taken with their "heros" they hold up their right hand like they are twisting the throttle wfo? Hilarious!
I have actually been wanting to say something about this for awhile now. Look at the other sports, like Basketball or Football, TONS and i do mean TONS of fans wear their teams jersey with pride at the event. Who is making the $$ off the sales of these items? sure wish it was me!
*i am running on zero sleep, so getting my point across is rather difficult at this time.
I cannot stand to see adults wearing a Romo jersey or anything like that. It is so pathetic to see an "adult" waring someone else on their shirt, it's actually creepy.
explains a lot.
he lol'd at FF too, for years, but it was easy $$$, wtf
Pit Row
He's only training ju-jitsu with Eddy(sp) Bravo now days.
Check his tat, it is all based on images that he has had from psychedelic drug experiences.
Listen to him talk about it, and more, (see below)
The dude is way WAY out there:
I saw saw of his comedy show on TV not long ago. It was ok. He's a pretty intelligent guy from what I can tell.
The tat? UG. I'm not a fan of an tats, but to each his own. That is unique.
"I got an incredible amount of responses to my last blog, so many and so varied that I thought I should probably address a few. The vast majority of the people agreed with what I had to say, and applauded my stand against some of the more ridiculous trends infecting our beloved sport, but curiously quite a few folks felt I was unjustly “bashing” MMA fans, and a couple even arrived at the misguided opinion that by poking fun at some of the silly behavior and moronic wardrobe choices I was somehow “biting the hand that feeds me.”
To that I say, first and foremost I’m a stand up comic. I make fun of everything, including myself. When you get upset at something I say that reflects on you, just think about the shit I say about me. I regularly describe myself as a short, balding, little chimp-man. I drank my own piss and put the video of it up on youtube. Not only do I regularly wear a fanny pack – the most widely ridiculed wardrobe item the world has ever known – but I’m at the helm of an ill-conceived campaign actively trying to bring them back to popularity.
I’m a goof.
But guess what, fuck face – so are you. We all are.
It comes with the territory of being a human being; we are innately goofy, odd little talking monkeys spinning around on this giant rock that’s flying through the infinite vastness of the universe.
The biggest and saddest goofs amongst us by FAR, however, are the ones that get angry when you make fun of them.
The bottom line in this life, is do whatever the fuck you want to do as long as it’s not harming anyone else.
Happiness is precious and there is no universal method of achieving it.
If it really brings you joy, and you’re not hurting anyone else, fuck what some dummy like me has to say.
When you’re taking a picture standing next to Vitor Belfort put TWO fists up, just for spite. Right before the flash goes off, pull your pants down too. He’s a nice guy, he probably won’t say shit.
Does that “Tap or Snap – the choice is yours!” T-shirt really appeal to you? If it does, rock that shit homey.
What, are you gonna live forever?
Fuck it – after you get that bitch home, head on down to your local “Hot Topic” and get yourself some glue and glitter, and pimp that motherfucker up proper. Put a big, red, glittery dick on the front and wear it around the mall with your chest puffed out. If it puts a smile on your face, that’s really all that matters.
To all you silly fucks out there that were actually upset at anything I said, my recommendation to you, is to get yourself a joint and a telescope. Take a couple hits, look through that lens, and even if it’s just for a brief moment try to get yourself a different perspective. You’ll thank me later.
I wasn’t planning to write this blog entry, and in the end I didn’t actually have that much to say, but I’m trying to really update this thing more often. I’m sitting in a hotel room right now, and I’ve got to get some sleep. I’ve been working on a movie for the last couple weeks in Boston, and after long days on the set I’ve got to force myself to bang something out on the keyboard."
Total bull shit right there! I'm a huge fan of MMA! You must have me mixed up with someone else. As far a Joe goes ,that's how I feel about the guy!
Some drunken bastard at a new years party I was at this year kept talking about how he was a UFC fighter, and sucker punched me with his equally retarded cousin as I walked out of the bathroom because I wouldn't let him grope the girl I was with. My fellow moto boddy and I beat the living shit out of him no problem.
