Noa Schmitz: Chandler attempted the sitting Stone Cold Stunner to no avail.

Michael Trimarco: Alvarez and Chandler blissfully embrace as they prepare to be picked up by the UFC Helicopter flying over the Long Beach Arena.

Jarrod Walker: “Don’t be ashamed, guys, I always close my eyes when they take the rollercoaster picture too!”

Josh Freimark: “Oh Darling, this date at Jon Hess’ SAFTA Academy was such a romantic idea!”

Jon Garrison: Eddie has turned….someone get Daryl and tell him to bring his crossbow!

Darren Miller: “Come on, guys… let’s work or I’m going to wake you up.”

Shin Kim: The 3rd fight will be a “Don’t wear a Rubber match”.

Yikes. Now that we’re warmed up, let’s reveal the winners…

Eric Moss: This Eddie & Michael duet was slightly bloodier but equally as gross as “Whatzupwitu.”

Jay Sinclair: Chandler and Alvarez do their impression of Sakuraba’s ear at Dynamite 2010.

Ryan Waterman: This is basically how every MMA fight looks to Bob Arum.

Congrats Eric/Jay/Ryan! Please check the “other” folder of your Facebook messages today with instructions on how to claim your prize.

Caption Contest: Win an Official Kazushi Sakuraba T-Shirt From Scramble!


(Image courtesy of Scramble. Buy the shirt for $44.99 right here, or £29.99 for our Euro-homies.)

Even today, the name “Saku” can induce feelings of euphoria in old-school MMA fans. Arguably the most important Japanese fighter in the sport’s history, Kazushi Sakuraba‘s fight career embodied the twin virtues of virtuosic creativity and never-say-die gameness. He is, was, and forever will be a legend. And now, you can buy his t-shirt.

Our friends at Scramble have kicked off an official collaboration with Sakuraba, beginning with the t-shirt you see above. Made with Saku’s full cooperation and blessing, the super soft 100% washed cotton shirts feature his stylized “KS” logo on the front — which he’s been rocking on his shorts since his PRIDE days — and the back of the shirt also sports several references to Sakuraba’s nicknames, including IQ Wrestler, Gracie Hunter, and 39. It’s pretty frickin’ sweet to be honest. If you want one for yourself, buy it here…or, take your chances with this week’s caption contest.

After the jump is a Photo of the Year candidate from this weekend’s Alvarez/Chandler rematch that reminded me of Saku just for its sheer bloodiness. Come up with a clever caption and submit it to the comments section of this post by Thursday night at midnight PT. The three best captions will all win a Sakuraba t-shirt, courtesy of Scramble. We’ll announce the results on Friday. Let us know if you have any questions, and good luck!

‘Velasquez vs. Dos Santos 3? Fight-Picking Contest: And the Winner Is…


(FTF’s Muay Thai 2013 tee. Check out the rest of their Combat Line shirts here.)

Thanks to everybody who entered last week’s UFC 166 fight-picking contest! Cain Velasquez‘s destruction of Junior Dos Santos may have seemed obvious in retrospect, but only one of our readers actually predicted that Cain would end the fight by TKO in the fifth round. That man was Brett Ketchum, who has just won himself a Combat Line t-shirt from Fear the Fighter.

Well done, Brett. We’ll be sending you a message on Facebook about how to claim your prize, so be sure to check the “Other” folder of your FB messages today. As for everybody else, please swing by Fear the Fighter to browse their line of fight-themed shirts and gear, and if you’d like us to do more giveaway contests with FTF, let us know in the comments section.

‘Velasquez vs. Dos Santos III’ Fight-Picking Contest: Win a Combat Line T-Shirt From Fear the Fighter!


(FTF’s Kickboxing tee. Check out the rest of their Combat Line shirts here.)

This Saturday at UFC 166 in Houston, heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez and ex-champ Junior Dos Santos will meet for the third time in their best-of-seven series. Velasquez is currently sitting at a 2-1 favorite, thanks to the 25-minute whooping he put on JDS during their last fight. But as we’ve seen so many times in the past, heavyweight bouts can end with one punch. So how will things end this time?

Shoot us your predictions for the Velasquez vs. Dos Santos fight in the comments section of this post, and the most accurate guess will score a Combat Line t-shirt from our good buddies at Fear the Fighter. Your predictions should look something like this…
