An Open Letter to Dana White

Dear Dana,

Thank you for being a shrewd business man that squeezes your competition by the balls. A man who makes your competition sit knee deep in red ink due to your no bones about it attitude. You use words like f&*k more than 50 times a minute and can bench 315 pounds, but you know the reason I really love you?

Because you let a company like Affliction buy your prized heavyweights Andrei Arlovski and Tim Sylvia to put on Pay Per View on July 15th. Why do I like this because you baited them into swimming with the sharks. Fine take my prized cattle because I'm a f*&king fight promoter and can create superstars out of people that wear chains around their necks to the ring, do a very odd guitar dance when they win or can not hear at all. You say enjoy trying to get $44.99 from the public because I'll give them what they want....free fights on Spike TV. Not just free fights at that, but the pound for pound best fighter in the world Anderson Silva.

The rumors are that Affliction is expecting 200,000 buys on Pay Per View. But Dana you are too smart for this you know that the last time Fedor was on Pay Per View against Matt Lindland it was purchased by only 6,000 folks. So instead you say enjoy spending $2 fu$%ing million on one fight card, because you wont want to be in this business in six months after I am done with you. You'll hit the gym, bench your 315 pounds, high five Anderson Silva and Brandon Vera and then on July 15th release the hounds.

If Affliction is in the fight business in a year I will grow my hair out....what is left of it.

Mad Love for you Dana White enjoy kicking them in the nuts.

The REAL Reason Dana White is Delaying

Farce - noun: A seasoned stuffing, as for roasted turkey.

By now, you may have heard that Dana White's huge, life-altering, cancer-curing, global warming-solving announcement originally scheduled for Thursday has been delayed until next week. So what's the hold up?

Here's my theory. I have no evidence to support it...yet. I've got monkeys working around the clock to find it. But anyway - I think this whole "huge announcement" business got out of hand, and it scared the crap out of Dana. So much so that he just rolled with it. When he first mentioned the big announcement, he was drunk, and like many drunks, he may have over-exaggerated (again, I don't have evidence of Dana's level of intoxication, but the monkeys will find it). But then the speculation began. Chuck v. Anderson Silva, a new TV deal, sale to Vince McMahon, an IPO - "Are you kidding me?!?", Dana said. "I can't top those!"

So what does he do? The same thing anyone does when they're caught in a lie they can't back up - he delays. And he'll keep delaying. And delaying. Until, everyone is so tired of him delaying that they just forget about it. AND THEN - the moment will be ripe for Dana to reveal that he and Brock Lesnar got matching tattoos.

UFC 88: Silva v. Liddell?

Rumors have been going around that middleweight champion Anderson "The Spider" Silva will move up to the light heavyweight class, and that he'll be tested from the get-go - landing a bombshell of a match against Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell this September in UFC 88. One word: WOW.

If this story is true, this could shape up to be an amazing fight. I'm kind of surprised Dana wouldn't ease Silva into the light heavyweight class - I'm not saying Silva should be handed cupcakes, because he'd likely roll over them just as easily as he's been doing in the middleweight class. But Silva-Liddell is a HUGE ticket to push - you don't want Silva coming out flat, trying to adjust to the different weight class. But, hey, if it happens, I'll definitely have my nose to the screen watching every bit of it. Maybe by then Comcast will have it in HD...

One other point to consider, is what the implications this fight will have for each fighter. I think Liddell has the most to lose here. He hasn't been the same since getting knocked out by Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. (Sidenote: say Silva beats Liddell, wins another light heavyweight fight or two, and lands a match against Rampage....I'm beginning to black out, just thinking about it....) After getting laid out by Rampage, Liddell lost in a decision to Keith Jardine, in a snoozer of a match. Liddell did bounce back and beat Wanderlei Silva, but it was by decision, and Liddell still doesn't seem to be on top of his game. A loss to Anderson Silva certainly wouldn't help matters any. And at the same time, as great a fighter as Silva is, he's fighting out of his weight class, so people may not give Liddell a whole lot of credit if he notches the win.

So what does Anderson Silva have to lose? Not a whole lot. He's proven he can dominate the middleweight class. Say he loses to Liddell - no big deal, no one can fault him for trying to challenge himself. He goes back to middleweight, continues to roll guys over, and waits until Urijah Faber puts on a few pounds and jumps over to the UF.................sorry, another blackout. But say Silva beats Liddell? He further solidifies his legacy as arguably one of the best fighters the sport has seen. He earns himself a bigger payday because there are more "stars" for him to fight in the light heavyweight class - Liddell, Rampage, Forrest Griffin, Wanderlei Silva, Rashad Evans, etc. All in all, I think Silva's got everything to gain in this matchup.

Chris Leben vs. Michael Bisping at UFC 85 Bedlam Video Montage

We here at the muffin do get excited for sports..especially when Barry Zito is pitching, but I myself am just about ready to cream myself over the idea of Chris Leben fighting Michael Bisping at UFC 85 Bedlam.

In order to get pumped I thought it would be fun to relive when Chris Leben was assassinated by Anderson The Spider Silva. This is one of Sean's favorite moments.

Chris Leben though lately has been incredible knocking out Allesio Sakara with ease. Good luck Bisping and lay off the cheeseburgers and frys.
