TPK Ranger Off Competition: Sonnen Vs. Sheen

It's competition time!

This is your chance to win our exclusive hand made 'Dear Jorge...' t-shirt from our Ranger Off brand. It's 100% hand made, 100% authentic and it 100% sparkles!

Made with fabric pens and glitter glue, we have literally no idea if it will stand up to a decent wash, but we do know it's a one of a kind and sexy as f***.





How do you win? We'll leave you in the hands of our quizmaster Big Stu Furay.


War of Words: Sonnen or Sheen?

Charlie Sheen has been coming up with some lyrical nuggets of pure gold of late, so much so he’s been reminding me of The King of trash-talk himself, Uncle Chael Sonnen. One’s a drug taking, money laundering gangster from Oregon, while the other is a drug taking, prostitute shagging movie star from New York, and below are some quotes from both these nutbags/genii (delete as you see fit), but who said what? Sonnen or Sheen, you decide;

1. “Well, yeah, but I'm tired of being told, "Well, you can't talk about that and you can't talk about that" BULL S.H.I.T”

2. “I will mow you down like autumn wheat, AGAIN!”

3. “Apologize, what? I want you guys DESTROYED. Torn to pieces, laid on an altar in front of a statue of me with golden fangs, and set on fire.”

4. “He couldn’t be more wrong. Does he know anything about business…? He couldn’t have this industry more backwards. It’s shocking that he actually believes and then stands there with his chest out like we should all pat him on the back”

5. “He might be nails, but I’m frickin’ battle tested bayonets”

6. “I’m different. I have a different constitution, I have a different brain, I have a different heart. I got tiger blood, man.”

7. “He’s a grown man with earrings. He’s a grown man with saggy pants, pink t-shirts and crooked hats. Go join a gang”

8. “Well guess what, dummy? I've been training really hard since I was nine years old and I still have time to bring interest for people to see me whip your ass”

9. “We work for the pope, we murder people. We’re Vatican assassins. How complicated can it be? What they’re not ready for is guys like you and I and Nails and all the other gnarly gnarlingtons in my life, that we are high priests, Vatican assassin warlocks. Boom. Print that, people.”

10. "It's perfect. It's awesome. Every day is just filled with just wins. All we do is put wins in the record books. We win so radically in our underwear before our first cup of coffee, it's scary."

11. “I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words – imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists.”

12. “As someone with much more experience than him, at a much higher level of competition, I am his superior and his behavior warrants an apology to me. Now you might say that's a bit of abstract reasoning... but there's another reason he better apologize to me first, and it has to do with his own self-interest.”

13. “I’m tired of pretending I’m not a total bitchin’ rock star from Mars.”

14. “Pray to whatever Demon effigy you prance and dance in front of with your piglet tribe of savages that I decide not to CRUCIFY you."

15. “I’m different. I have a different constitution, I have a different brain, I have a different heart. I got tiger blood, man.”

16. He’s a stupid, stupid little man and a pussy punk that I’d never want to be like. That’s me being polite. That piece of shit took money out of my pocket, my family’s pocket, and, most importantly, my second family — my crew’s pocket. You can tell him one thing. I own him.”

What Michael Did: A Thoroughly British Perspective

Seeing as how certain MMA sites are dishing out a less than even handed treatment of the whole Bipsingate, we figured we'd do the same.

RULE BRITANNIA, GOD SAVE THE QUEEN AND ALL THAT.

We were going to start by saying how we don't IN ANY WAY condone the actions of Michael Bisping at UFC 127. We were then planning on following that up with how we feel HE SHOULD BE DISCIPLINED for spitting at Rivera's corner men and conducting himself in an unprofessional manner.

However, we're sick to death of hearing the campaign against Bisping. Especially from the team that spent so much time mocking him and winding him up in the first place. It's like the kid in your class who spends all day poking fun and flicking bogeys at the geek only to run crying to teacher when the geek starts throwing some punches (and illegal knees).

HE SHOULD BE CUT FROM THE UFC, IT'S AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE.

OK, just so long as this is made a precedent and we start 'back dating' these sort of infractions. Anyone caught cheating shall be dealt with... Cheick can go for his many, many groin shots, Tito can go for grabbing the fence so flagrantly against Machida, Marquardt for basically the entire Leites fight, Koscheck for the knees that never were and Kenny Florian just 'cos I just don't like his face. Obviously these are completely different offences and I'm clutching at straws somewhat.

Let's just cut the crap and sum it all up shall we:

YOU JUST DON'T LIKE HIM.

He's British, he's confident and he occasionally beats mid-tier opponents. Ultimately he's no more cocky than any of other fighter that claims victory before the fight. Something they all do without fail. The Rangers mocked and wound him up and it backfired. Apparently a pissed off Count is actually a far more dangerous proposition than the point-fighting-decision-winner they may have otherwise faced.


Now, before you angrily pound away at your keyboard to let us know just how wrong we are and how we're condoning the actions of an over-emotional idiot, read between the lines a bit here (the first paragraphs especially). Playing Devil's advocate is hard, seeing from both sides is surprisingly easy. We advise you listen to Jordan Breen's level headed analysis on Sherdog's 127 'Beatdown after the Bell' podcast. We wholeheartedly agree with him.



THIS WAS WRITTEN TO GET A REACTION OUT OF YOU, NOTHING MORE.

The t-shirt however, was from the heart (and meant to be in the spirit of things...) x

'Dear Jorge, Go HARD or Go HOME. Now Ranger OFF!'
