thompson vs. slice. first off, DID YOU SEE THAT EAR?! AND already lots of controversy. Brett Rogers who won earlier that night by KO, said he saw Kimbo tap out. Rogers called Kimbo out at the press conference. lots of people are also saying the fight should have been stopped right at the end of the 2nd rd, when Thompson was elbowing the hell out of Kimbo in the crucifix. a minute of unanswered blows to the head, but it was let go. and of course, you got the people who think the fight was stopped early to ensure that Kimbo gets the win, apparently he was behind in the scorecards and would have lost a decision. Kimbo definitely needs more work, he definitely wouldn't last long against a good BJJ fighter.

 

I buy into the conspiracy theory that they wanted to ensure Kimbo's victory if possible. I thought the whole thing was b.s.. It looked to me like Kimbo may have been trying to tap out too. I will say it was impressive that he didn't totally lose consciousness taking all those elbows though!

I was excited to watch this and the first few fights were short but entertaining but I was pretty disappointed by the last two being needlessly called off. I kind of think they were afraid their new ratings draw, Kimbo, was gonna get beat and so they called it when the Colossus' ear got popped.

I saw Quicksilver as a kid and thought it was great!

I like the idea of fixed gear bikes but I've never ridden one. Does it make riding up hills a total pain compared to road bikes with lower gears to go to, or does the lighter weight of the bike somewhat make up for it, or what? I guess I'm curious about their popularity lately.

Ok, thanks everybody!

By bend your legs you mean bend more at the hips? Or bend your knees slightly?

They have this "straight back straight leg deadlift" on the same site that other clip is from: http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Hamstrings/BBStrBackStrLegDeadlift.html

Thanks for the responses. Is this: http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Hamstrings/BBStraightLegDeadlift.html

what you guys are calling a stiff leg deadlift? Sorry, I'm somewhat of newbie and I just want to make sure.

Part of my leg routine involves using the prone leg extension machine, you know, the one where you lay on your stomach and lift the weight by bringing your ankles towards your butt. I feel like this exercise strains my lower back in a non-beneficial way. So I'm wondering, what's the best alternative to this machine that will focus on those same muscles?

The part of me that always roots for the underdog wanted to vote for a challenger but in the end I had to vote for Octo. The dude's got muscles. Way to go, man.

Congrats to Octo! You deserved it.

Richard, thanks for the vote of confidence in my ball-busting ability. I do have a black belt in tae kwon do but I don't think I've ever punched anyone down there!

Hey bro welcome to the boards, you actually have very good tris. Arms and shoulders in general are great!

Thanks Zack!

Hello. My first post here actually. (Been vegan for over 11 years, started doing a bit of lifting last summer.) I probably can't compete with Octo, but hey, I really want a shirt so I figured I'd give it a shot. I couldn't decide which picture to post so here's two I shot yesterday. The first one was after my workout, the other was cold but is a clearer picture:
