The Rear View Mirror: UFC 123


ABC, we're told, is as easy as 123. But what do we actually know about 123? 'Big' Stu Furay asks the question...

So UFC 123 is consigned to the history books, and what have we learned?

1. Mike Lullo will need a new leg after Edson Barboza practically kicked it clean off. Someone give him Heather Mills' number.

B. Good friends CAN fight each other. Swick, Bones and Fitch take note. Great work Munoz and Simpson.

3. NEVER leave it to the Judges. They clearly get distracted by Arianny being at ringside, and completely forget they are there to score fights. Griffin and Machida take note.

D. Anyone who invents a new submission during a fight, then names it after themself is BADASS!! Mr Wonderful, take a bow. Although I’m not looking forward to The Kockcheck, or The BJ.

5. BJ Penn is BACK!! If anyone knows where he went during the Edgar fights, then answers on a postcard please.

F. And finally, Rampage may be BA, but he’s no longer Badass. Although I think Machida probably let out a little bit of wee when he almost got slammed on his head, a la Ricardo Arona.

In a similar fashion, though without mixing our ABCs and 123s, here's what we gleaned from Saturday night:

1. Although drinking your own piss might make you appear enigmatic, it doesn't actually improve your fighting skills. Inversely, it doesn't make them any worse either.

2. Karo Parisyan is actually mental.

3. BJ Penn has been royally Fitched up!
Shit, we meant F****ed! Bye Bye website.

4. We don't think Paul Kelly deserves a title shot, it's beneath him. Just give him the belt already. He's the Daley Thompson of MMA!


Oh, and that eating red meat at 4 am is a bad idea. More on that later...
