Go Team Go

Last Friday, a couple guys from The  EDGE’s Jersey school competed in the cage at the WKU Warrior Challenge. Both guys school dominated their fights. The Pennsylvania EDGE was also supposed to be represented, but the opponent didn’t show up and the fight got scrapped from the card. I don’t doubt we would have gone 3-0 had [...]


Goguen vs. Sabo: TUF 9

Before you go, “UGH, I don’t care about these UFC posts,” let me just encourage you to check out Joe Rogan’s stand-up special that immediately follows The Ultimate Fighter Finale tonight. Joe’s comedy is amazingly smart and it’s fun to watch the guy work. I’m probably just as excited, if not more to see his [...]


Goguen vs. Sabo: UFC 99 “The Comeback”

Steve: 52 - 30 (12 perfect picks)
Josh: 49 - 33 (13 perfect picks)

Steve and I were pretty even in our last UFC picks. I think it’s safe to say that this sport is becoming very difficult to predict. Someone new steps in with different technique, someone older is just a half step to slow and [...]


Money Fights

UFC President Dana White had said a lot of things in the past about YouTube figher, Kimbo Slice. He sucks. A UFC light weight could beat him. He’s not a fighter. He’s bad for the sport. Now, he said this is his typical Dana White f-bomb laden passion.
 
Last year, Dana was proven right when a [...]


Goguen vs Sabo: UFC 98

UFC 98 is this weekend which means it’s time for fight picks by two comedians that most people couldn’t care less about. By that I mean the fights and the comedians.
 
Both Steve and I were way off on our picks for UFC 97. 
 
Steve: 46 - 25 (10 perfect picks)
Josh: 43 - 28 (10 perfect picks)
 
This [...]


Goguen vs Sabo: UFC 97

Steve: 42 - 17 (10 perfect picks)

Josh: 38 - 21 (10 perfect picks)
 
UFC 97  looks like a really good card. Not only do we get to see arguably the best pound for pound fighter in the world in Anderson Silva, but Chuck Liddell vs. Shogun Rua could headline the PPV. I’ll be in New Jersey [...]


Tournament Results

Well, after weeks of trying to get down to 159 in order to make the light weight division of a local Jiu Jitsu tournament, I made it. The last day sucked because I was water and food restricting. It was a long but not terribly difficult task and I think the worst part was having [...]


April Fool’s Fight Night

I almost forgot to put these up. Almost. It seems like such a long time since the last UFC event. Here’s the standings between Steve Sabo and myself.
Steve: 33 - 15 (8 perfect picks)
Josh: 30 - 18 (9 perfect picks)
We’ve got another UFC Fight Night which means free on Spike. UFC uses these shows to [...]


Being a fan sucks.

Two years ago, I decided that I was done with being a fan of comedians. I still enjoy comics like Louis CK or Joe Rogan and would even pay to see them. I will not be going out of my way to do so. If I have to cancel something else, I’m not doing it. [...]


UFC Weekend Recap

Holy crap, this last weekend was great. I’ll be posting about the downside tomorrow, but for now, I just want to be positive.
 
I went to a live event about a year and a half ago and left with a soured mood on going to a live UFC. This weekend changed my opinion of that. Not only were [...]
