When Cecil Peoples isn’t screwing up the judging of important title fights or telling fans who disagree with his bias towards his fellow karate stylists to "go to hell," he’s causing countless near death experiences like the one above inside the cage.
Our pal Layzie the Savage was cageside at the Long Beach Fight Night event Sunday night to capture the latest in a long line of patented Peoples fuck ups.
I used to think that CePe must be wearing a pair of these when he judges to hide the fact that he’s sneaking a few winks and that he already pre-filled out the scorecards before the show, but now I’m thinking he must have Angry Birds installed on his iPhone because he’s proven himself an equally inattentive in-cage official as he is a cageside one.

The news of Strikeforce’s upcoming heavyweight tournament was a bombshell development for a company still working on prying eyes from the UFC. And it’s also a welcome scenario for the Strikeforce athletes, who are well aware of the extra spotlight it is likely to bring, even to fighters who are not part of the field.
One such fighter who may receive added attention from it is Daniel Cormier, an undefeated fighter who is among a group of rising stars in Strikeforce’s heavyweight ranks.
On Friday night, Cormier (6-0) will face Devin Cole in a featured bout on Showtime’s Strikeforce Challenger series.
In 2010, Cormier fast-tracked his development, fighting five times. In 2011, he hopes to take his career to the next level, fighting some of Strikeforce’s stars. A win over Cole, his most experienced opponent at 18-8-1, may be the fight to get him there.

MONTREAL — Like millions of others, Daniel Cormier has watched in awe at the excellence of UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre. Unlike the masses, however, Cormier has earned the right to either critique or praise perhaps the most lauded part of GSP’s game, his wrestling.
While Cormier is known to some fans as a rising Strikeforce heavyweight, he’s also a two-time US Olympian in freestyle wrestling.
Count him among the people that are stunned by St. Pierre’s rapid wrestling progression despite no background in the discipline, but he parts ways with the group at the suggestion that GSP is a better wrestler than his UFC 124 opponent, Josh Koscheck.
