Two Things…

I found two things I wanted to share today. The first is the new Joe Lauzon shirt that his friends and family wore for UFC 118. It’s available for sale now at his blog JoeLauzon.com. It’s pretty snazzy.

The second thing I wanted to share is this nice article on Jason Mayhem Miller by Ben Fowlkes over at MMAFighting.com. I generally hate reading non-news MMA pieces, but this one is a worthwhile read. Fowlkes is adept at going beyond the “current figher looks to win his upcoming fight” fluff pieces that float around the blogosphere, and this piece illustrates that talent. Great Job!

Sponsorship Fail

I apologize for crapping on your national ad campaign, Cain, but this is crap. It’s self-indulgent, sexist, cliche, and really out of scope. How many people in the mainstream audience will even know who this guy is and why he’s selling them shoes?

Toney Talks About His 3 Minutes Of MMA

Monday’s News And Notes

Unofficially, UFC 122 will feature Vitor Belfort vs. Yushin Okami in Germany and will be free on Spike TV.

Somebody decided we needed a sequel to 2008’s MMA-themed movie Never Back Down. And they are exactly RIGHT! Never Back Down 2 will star UFC heavyweight Todd Duffee and Eddie Bravo, who will also provide some of the music for the film. OMG is right.

Georges St. Pierre and Josh Koscheck will headline UFC 124 in Montreal on December 11.

The Latest On Mir/Jameson

Here’s the latest statement from @Mrs_Mir:

to set the record straight Frank and I have nothing against Tito he has been nothing but friendly when we see him
and we didnt have anything against Jenna either until she verbally attacked me at Tito and Forrest fight for cheering for our teammate
I have never said anything about her being ugly that was my followers. There is nothing that Jenna can say or do to me or my family
that would affect me. Frank and I pride ourselves in living under the radar and not in the limelight, but we appreciate his fans

And from @JennaJameson:

Mrs_Mir needs to stick to popping out kids and eating Bon Bons, and hating from afar. Baby, I’m a self made multiple millionaire. Nuff said.

And then @PatrycjaMikula (ex-girlfriend of Andrei Arlovski and Tim Sylvia and the reason we have the “how’s tastes my pee-pee” meme) sided with Jenna by adding the following Tweets:

Jenna I love you. I love that u speak ur mind and don’t give a f%# what anyone thinks! Mrs Mir is just a hater
She’s just an ex rino Vegas stripper that didn’t accomplish nothing. Jealous biatch

UFC 118 Bonuses

The of the night bonus amount was $60,000:

Fight of the Night – Marcus Davis and Nate Diaz

Submission of the Night – Joe Lauzon

There were no knock outs at UFC 118, so no bonus was awarded.

Woah, Woah, Woah… Ladies, Please.

There seems to be a war of words brewing on Twitter tonight, post-UFC 118 between Jenna Jameson (@jennajameson) and Jennifer Mir (@Mrs_Mir). Check it out:

It seems to have started when this guy @leharts (whoever the hell he is) tweeted:
Loves it when the UFC #wags (wives and girlfriends) talk mma go on @Mrs_Mir @Jennajameson

Jennifer Mir then tweeted:
@Leharts does Jenna really talk mma……she should stick to porn well I guess it is kind of grappling lol

Jenna responded:
@Mrs_Mir @Leharts you should stick to sucking your fat ass husbands cock…. Oh, and hit the treadmill yourself

Jennifer Mir:
@jennajameson your just mad because his cock is the only one you can’t suck….oh yeah and my husband is the MAIN event

Jenna:
Listen everyone, me and mrs Mir don’t see eye to eye. She knows why. Plus, she talked shit just now on me, so I retorted.

Jennifer:
Look guys even the classiest of women still have there breaking point…..she is my breaking point
Just so you guys have the background to our little fight ……when Forrest who is Franks training partner and Tito fought
She started screaming because I was cheering for Forrest I wasn’t even being disrespectful I was so pissed but I hold myself Higher than that ……so that’s what started it all

Jenna:
I can’t really reply to Mrs Mir cuz the coward blocked me, so she is just a shit talker… Which is why I called her out in the first place

It goes on from there. Go check their Twitter feeds for the rest.
