Pat BarryHardly a day goes by where I don’t get an e-mail from some poor soul who complains that while he loves getting commentary on the prior weekend’s MMA action, he absolutely hates being forced to read in order to get it. ‘What about semi-illiterate brutes like me?’ he asks. ‘Isn’t there any way for us to get our MMA fix?’

Okay, so I don’t really get those emails, but I assume it’s only because the people who might write them can’t figure out how to send them. Regardless, now there’s a solution. In just a few minutes time you can get all the pithy commentary you need, and the only price you’ll pay is being forced to look at my face in between the photos. Not a bad trade, eh?

In the first episode, join me for a look back at the UFC 115 main event, as well as a couple of thoughts on Pat Barry and Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic. Or don’t. Just go back to reading words like some sucker. Your call.

In the first installment of Writer vs. Fighter, Cain Velasquez narrowly defeated me after we predicted almost exactly the same results for UFC 114. In an effort to distract attention from my loss, allow me to point out that we were both spot on when it came to the main event, even if we also both missed a few on the undercard (yeah, like you picked Mike Russow to knock out Todd Duffee, smart guy).

For UFC 115 this weekend, I challenged Army Ranger and Strikeforce middleweight Tim Kennedy to square off against me in one of the only MMA-related activities I actually stand somewhat of a chance at beating him in. And even though Tim has a real fight to worry about against Trevor Prangley at next Wednesday’s Strikeforce event in Los Angeles, he was gracious enough to accept.

Now I must put his kindness out of my mind and focus on destroying him. As they say in both prison and reality TV, I didn’t come here to make friends.
