Maybe you’re at work right now. Maybe you’re eating lunch, or riding public transportation. No matter where you are or what you’re up to, I’d like you do something for me — reach into your pants and check to see if you have two healthy, fully-functioning testicles. (Yes, even you, angrylittlefeet.) If everything is in order, pat yourself on the back. Unfortunately, not every man is so lucky. I’m not trying to turn this site into BummerPotato.com, but did you know that testicular cancer is the most common cancer in American males between the ages of 15 and 35? And that over 8,500 men will be diagnosed with the disease this year? And that about 360 men will die of it?
Hell, did you know that 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime, and that approximately 242,000 new cases of that disease will be diagnosed in 2012? You probably didn’t know any of this, which is fine, but now you do know, and if you feel like doing something about it, we should talk.
For the second year in a row, CagePotato.com is partnering up with Movember to spread awareness and raise money for testicular cancer, prostate cancer, and other men’s health issues. If you want to help us in this month-long quest, here’s what you need to do:

Step 3: On November 1st, shave whatever fuzz is hanging around on your upper lip, then don’t shave for the rest of November (henceforth referred to as “Movember.”)
Step 4: Recruit your friends though Facebook, Twitter, G+, and plain old word-of-mouth, directing them to your Movember web page and asking if they could donate a few bucks for the cause — or better yet, join the team. Remember, your mo’ is your membership card, and a sign of your advocacy. Let it be a conversation starter; if anybody asks what the hell you’re trying to do with that creepy thing, tell them what it means and why it’s important to you.
Mo’ do’s and don’ts: Your facial hair shouldn’t connect at the sideburns — that’s a beard. No hair can connect at the chin — that’s a goatee. A patch below the mouth is acceptable, in accordance with the 1974 Flavor Saver Laws.
PRIZES!: We will award the leading fundraiser on Mo’tato Nation a $100 gift card to StubHub, as well as matching an additional $100 to their fundraising total. The most glorious-looking moustache on the Mo’tato Nation team — as selected by CP’s editors — will win a $50 StubHub gift card.
Any questions, let us know in the comments section. In the meantime, please register, join our team, and come back on Movember 1st for opening ceremonies.
On Saturday night at UFC 153, Anderson Silva TKO’d Stephan Bonnar with a knee to the solar plexus that briefly paralyzed him, followed by some punches on the ground. The fight was called at 4:40 of round 1, which means…TOPDOG, YOU ARE OUR WINNER. The Dog’s prediction of “Anderson Silva def. Stephan Bonner via TKO (strikes) @ :23 seconds left in Rd. 1” — though strange in its syntax — came closest to the fight’s actual result, which means he gets the Blacktalians t-shirt, as promised. So Topdog, please e-mail [email protected] with your real name, address, and shirt size, and we’ll get it sent out ASAP. The rest of you can get the shirt the old-fashioned way. Props to Longo/Serra MMA and East Coast MMA Fight Shop for the hookup.

Of course, we wouldn’t even mention this if we weren’t giving you a chance to win one for free. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it’s fight-picking time. And we’re going to keep it real simple this time. On Saturday night, Anderson Silva will meet Stephan Bonnar in the main event of UFC 153 in Rio. You’re going to tell us who will win and how. Your entry should be in this format:

On Saturday night, Anderson Silva will meet Stephan Bonnar in the main event of UFC 153 in Rio. You’re going to tell us who will win and how. Your entry should be in this format:
– Anderson Silva def. Stephan Bonnar via TKO (cut), 2:36 of round 2
or
– Anderson Silva def. Stephan Bonnar via unanimous decision (30-24 x 3)
or
– Stephan Bonnar def. Anderson Silva via submission (monkeys flew out of butt), 4:54 of round 3
Please include the judges’ scores if you think a fight will end in a decision, in case we need them for a tie-breaker; keep in mind that Silva vs. Bonnar is only scheduled for three rounds. The most accurate prediction will win a fresh new Blacktalians t-shirt, though we may award more than one in case of a tie. Entries must be in by Saturday at noon ET, and we’ll announce the winner on Monday. One entry per person, please. Any other questions, let us know. Good luck!

Last week we sent out the call for a new official CagePotato t-shirt design, and so far you guys haven’t let us down. But it never hurts to cast a wider net, so if you have an idea for a new CPtee (and have the artistic ability to execute it) please e-mail your submission to [email protected] by October 16th. We’ll announce the winner(s) shortly after, and if we actually use your design to produce a shirt, we’ll pay you $100.
Complete rules are here, and two more front-runners are after the jump…

(“Don’t worry, Carlos, I’ll let you hold a real belt for a minute after this photo op is over.”)
Earlier today, the UFC held its official press conference to announce the long awaited showdown between welterweight “champion” Georges St. Pierre and “interim champion” Carlos Condit at UFC 154. And we may have had to do some regrettable things for this guy in a parking lot to get it, but we’ve managed to snag the full video of the press conference for your viewing entertainment.
Join us after the jump to hear Condit and GSP engage in a good old fashioned battle of politeness. Seriously, GSP is so nice that he even declares Condit to be the true champion at one point. Condit tries to fire back by stating that St. Pierre is “the best in the world,” but one does not simply “out-nice” a Canadian.

Man, if GSP didn’t have it in him to break that “nice guy” Dan Hardy’s arm when given the opportunity, we might be in for the first double DQ via Kalib Starnesian backpedaling in UFC history come UFC 154. Only time will tell, I guess.
