If you’re like us, you mentally checked out of work hours ago, and are just counting down the minutes until it’s time to leave the office and get the grill started. Independence Day weekend is upon us, signaling that the glorious summer is in full swing. But have you ever wondered what kind of crazy hijinx your favorite fighters are up to during the summer? And for the artistically gifted folks who are reading this, would you be interested in converting your imaginings into hilariously photoshopped images? Yes, it’s time for another CagePotato photoshop contest. The theme is: "How are MMA fighters spending their summer vacations?"

We’re going to run the contest a little differently this time. After you complete a ‘shop of an MMA fighter in a humorous summer-related scenario, head to CagePotato.com’s Facebook page and post it there. (If you’re not already a fan, become one, duh.) On Friday, July 16th (two weeks from today), we will pick the five entries that collected the most "likes," post them on the site, and award their creators CagePotato Devil Horns t-shirts. Sound good? Then slather on that suntan lotion and get crackin’. Have a kickass weekend, you guys!

CagePotato.com Programming Note: Listen to BG on ‘The Mouthpiece MMA Show’

I’m assuming most of you will be packed into sports bars watching Lesnar vs. Carwin on Saturday, but if you live on the East Coast and happen to be near a radio for some reason, please tune in to "The Mouthpiece MMA Show" to hear yours truly, BG, discuss the aftermath of Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Werdum and the awesomeness that is CagePotato.com. Hosts Tim O’Connor and Mark Daniels were kind enough to have me record a segment earlier this week, which will air tomorrow night on the three stations the show is syndicated on. They are…

– WIFI 1460AM: Philadelphia, Atlantic City; Mouthpiece Fight Block @ 10 p.m. to midnight

– WGAM The Game (ESPN Radio 1250 + 900): Manchester/Nashua, New Hampshire; Mouthpiece Fight Block starts at 11 p.m.

– 1320AM WARL: Providence and Southeastern Massachusetts; Mouthpiece Boxing/wrestling/MMA block from 9:00 p.m. to midnight

If you don’t live in those areas, or if you won’t be able to listen on Saturday, or if you’re just impatient, you can download the audio of my appearance right here. Thanks so much to Tim and Mark for having me on. Follow the Mouthpiece Radio Network at twitter.com/mouthpieceradio.

Disco-Platypus on "Knockout of the Week: Marlon Sandro Flattens Masanori Kanehara in 38 Seconds, Wins Sengoku Featherweight Title": The Sengoku championship may as well be labeled, "The Champion Who Would Crumble Most Quickly When Faced With American-style Wrestling."

DangadaDang on "Report: Batista Signs With Strikeforce; Opponent and Date of Debut Set to Be Announced": He is aware that no one in MMA can be brought out of a sleeper hold on the pure energy of a chanting crowd, correct?

And finally — uh-oh, get comfortable…
