MMA is my favorite sport...

Has been for a while, now. UFC 83 on Saturday night was pretty good. Georges St. Pierre beat Matt Serra(which sets up a probable rubber match sometime next year), Rich Franklin beat the gassing and trashtalking Travis Lutter, and TUF 3 contestant Kalib Starnes ended up getting fired(or to hear him tell it, quit his 'oppressive contract') after spending three rounds running backwards in a circle and then loudly cursing on live TV. And if he really did break his foot like he claims, then he should have thrown in the towel instead of having his entire image as a fighter reduced to "running man" jokes.

Next up: WEC 34 on Vs., June 1. Two matches I wanna see: First, new Bantamweight(135 lbs) champ Miguel Torres, who put on a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu clinic against Chase Beebe in the course of beating him, has his first title defense against Yoshihiro Maeda. And then, the one I REALLY wanna see...Featherweight(136-145 lbs) champ "The California Kid" Urijah Faber puts his belt on the line against undeafeated at the Featherweight class Jens "Little Evil" Pulver. I love Jens and I want him to win, but as long as it's a great fight, I'll be happy.
