Strikeforce: Josh Barnett Prepares for Brett Rogers in Pro Wrestling-Style Match

The Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix tournament continues this weekend with Josh Barnett fighting Brett Rogers in a quarterfinals bout. This is expected to be a big-time slugfest, and Barnett isn’t taking it lightly. His training continued even…

His pro wrestling-style match in this video displays what years of hard work and dedication have done for this former UFC heavyweight champion.

The back-and-forth match features some all-time wrestling classics, including the collar-and-elbow tie-up, the hammerlock, back-and-forth knife-edged chops and even a back-breaker.

But once Barnett took his opponent down with a beautifully executed arm drag and followed it up with a clothesline, it was all over. Barnett wasted no time announcing, “This one’s over baby, whoo!” He then slapped on a Ric Flair-esque Figure Four leglock to induce a quick submission.

Watch out Brett Rogers, I hear Barnett also has a Stone Cold Stunner in his arsenal.

Fail: Don Frye’s Final Battle vs 11-Year-Old Boy After He Taunts the Predator

You just never know exactly what to expect when you party with Don “The Predator” Frye. So stay on your toes. Three bits of advice, never offer him a Bud Light because you’re the only one drinking that garbage. Never ever look him in the eye, he reads …

A few other words of Predator wisdom include but are not limited to, it is not MMA it’s NHB, no holds barred. Don’t call it ground and pound, just don’t. And for the sake of all that is holy, I say again do not look the man in the eye.

Hurtsbad MMA had staff on site as an unfortunate incident took place after a young boy, too big for his own britches, made the ill advised mistake of challenging Frye for his throne.

Onlookers tried to warn the child but he swore he had the baddest rear naked choke in the business and would slap a choke on Don that would put his over Tank Abbott to shame.

In the words of a famous fuzzy green Jedi master, “Mmm, sadly mistaken you were young Padawan.”

The only reason the child was not eaten alive on the spot was because Frye had just consumed a healthy portion of chops that would make you want to smack yo mamma.

So the runt will live to fight another day but maybe it is in his best interest to start running like Forrest Gump and never stop before Don gets his second wind.

A new year is upon us, and for many of you disgusting fat bodies that means you’ve resolved to get into shape. For those who haven’t already thrown in the towel, you’ll want to make sure that your workouts are enjoyable, otherwise you won’t stick with it for the long haul. If you’ve ever beared witness to the fitness of the modern warrior, you may have noticed some pretty yoked dudes. Thanks to the variety of disciplines involved, MMA training provides an intense, well rounded workout.

The good news for you is that MMA gyms are popping up in every city, and whether you’re hoping to make a title run or simply looking to drop a few pounds, they’ve got a pair of board shorts in just your size. But before you sign up, be forewarned that not everyone you meet will be as likeable as your GSPs and your Jon Joneses. Here’s a quick rundown of who you may be sharing snorkels with at the gym. If you find yourself thinking, “There’s no one at my gym like that,” you may want to look again.

The Armchair Blackbelt: You learned all you needed to know about this guy when you saw him leaning on his bike in the parking lot. Today may be his first day at the gym, but he was watching the UFC before Brock was even champ, so do yourself a favor and go teach someone else how to slap on an armbar. He’ll play along and do these silly little drills for now, but after today’s performance he’s pretty sure the coach is going to want to move him out of the beginner’s class. He’s a ball of coiled, nervous energy, and the second he hits the mat he’s going for a gogoplata. Down the road he’ll make guest appearances at the gym, if only to tell you how he would have smashed his last opponent were it not for that nagging knee/back/skull injury that’s plagued him since he joined the team. Even when he doesn’t actually train, he’ll ask you to snag a picture of him fist-posing cageside so he can update his Facebook.

The Sadist: He burned his neighbor’s cat when he was nine and he’s been chasing that same high ever since; he’d all but given up when he stepped foot into an MMA gym for the first time and totally crippled someone. His inner beast has no leash, and the slightest suggestion that he isn’t the alpha male at the gym will set it loose. Training jiu jitsu? He’d sooner elbow you in the face than tap. Accidently butt heads while sparring? Here comes the body slam. There is no half-speed, there is no practicing technique. His only saving grace is that he’s found an outlet for his aggression. Without MMA, he’d be forced to unleash his wrath upon the unsuspecting public.
