(He took a shot every time Xenophon mentioned a conspiracy theory.)
Just a friendly reminder that we’ll be heading over to the Cage Potato Radio Network Studios to tape our last episode of our widely popular “The Bum Rush Radio Show” podcast of 2011 and we’d love you to join us.
Ok, we lied. There is no studio and we probably should have replaced the word “widely” with “moderately,” but we have fun taping the show and that’s all that matters, right? It’s not about winning or losing, unless you’re the winner.
Anyway, we’ll be breaking down this Friday night’s UFC 141 card, going through some of the year’s biggest stories and taking calls from some of you hooligans.
Grab a bottle of bourbon and a shot glass and get in here. It should be fun, or at least more fun than work.

It’s been a while since we’ve opened up the phone lines to the Potato Nation, so we figured we were about due for another call-in edition of The Bum Rush Radio Show before we close out the year.
Mark your day planners (or write a reminder on your fridge) that the show will go live tomorrow at 3:00 pm ET and we will be taking calls from our faithful readers and seasoned trolls to get their thoughts on the year in MMA and our performance in 2011.

Ueda & Nakamura. Photos not exactly to scale. (Pics: Sherdog.com)
While some MMA promotions are culling their divisions, Bellator is steadily adding depth to its ranks. The Spike-bound organization has announced the addition of two new fighters to their roster. Japanese standouts Masakatsu Ueda and Hiroshi Nakamura will make their Bellator debuts in the Season 6 Bantamweight tournament.
Nakamura went 3-1 in 2011 and comes into the tourney riding a pair of wins over Seiji Akao and Yoshiro Maeda. With his last six fights going the distance, “Iron” seems to have the sort of Fitch-level durability one needs to survive the grueling tournament format.
The pair join a nearly-completed tournament line-up of Alexis Vila, Marcos Galvao, Ed West, Rodrigo Lima, Luis Nogueira. Any favorites going in?

(“My God! The utter lack of humor in this contest was powerful enough to tear my skin!”)
Oh crap, I forgot all about this. So who was able to turn agonizing heartbreak into comedy? First, your finalists:
bitteralex: I wonder if it FEELS like a goat’s vagina?
Machiavelli: Lesson learned; Machida will definitely remember to take a carrot with him the next time he goes to pet the buses.
mikeraphon: I need a rematch like I need another hole in my head.
Rear Naked Poke: Round 5 just released the new Lyoto Machida Coin Bank, available this December.
Big Daddy Duker: A true practitioner of Machida Karate will never make noise while sneezing…no matter what the cost.
HabitualLineStepper: I’d better cover this up before I end up in the backseat of a car with Hendo and Brad Penny.
And now, the winner, because every contest needs one:

Well I liked it! TrapDoor, if you want to claim your copy of Straw Dogs, send an e-mail to [email protected] with your name and address and we’ll get it shipped off to you soon. Thanks to everybody who played.
From Big Nog’s arm to Tito’s ribs, UFC 140 gave us more than its share of brutal moments. In case you forget what a nasty business this sport can be sometimes, take a look at the above post-fight photo of Lyoto Machida, who got split open, choked asleep, then unceremoniously dropped onto the canvas by Jon Jones. Enjoy your new scar, buddy. This guy knows what I’m talking about.
Your mission: Come up with a clever caption to the photo above, and submit it to the comments section below. We’ll pick a winner on Thursday who will receive a copy of Straw Dogs, which comes out on DVD and Blu-ray next week, and makes a perfect holiday gift, as long as you’re giving it to somebody who appreciates over-the-top violence. On second thought, you may just want to keep it for yourself…
