CagePotato Presents: The Unofficial ‘UFC Coloring Book’ Art Contest!


(Click for larger version.)

Masato Toys recently put out an incredible (but unfortunately fake) UFC coloring book, featuring kid-friendly mazes, chest-less ring girls, and classic moments from UFC’s past. One page caught our eye in particular: The above image of Alan Belcher without his famous(ly ugly) Johnny Cash tattoo.

There’s a lot of space to cover on that arm, and we’d love to see how you’d fill it. Using Photoshop, MS Paint, or a printer and actual crayons, please draw a new tattoo for Alan onto the image and send the resulting work to BG at [email protected].

A week from today, we’ll pick our three favorites who will win…well, we’re not sure yet. Maybe some CagePotato shirts if we still have some left. Maybe just some shout-outs on Twitter. Maybe nothing. That’s what makes this contest “unofficial.” Take it or leave it. Good luck everybody, and follow Masato Toys on Facebook right here.

Horrible Photoshops, Love Children, Cosplaying, and Gabe Gonzaga on a Donkey: Highlights from the CagePotato Tumblr


(Joe Rogan is intrigued by our Tumblr. / Screencap via @3amMMA)

The CagePotato tumblr has surpassed over 650 followers! We figured it has been a while since we shared some of our Tumblr highlights with the vast majority of the Potato Nation, so that’s why we’re making this post. We’ve got some interesting stuff to share with you guys—and it’s all SFW (though there are no Al Bundy GIFs, sorry):

-This is an oldie but a goody: Someone once made an MMA-tabloid complete with ridiculous stories like Ariel Helwani having a lovechild with Arianny Celeste. Funny stuff.

-For some reason, the UFC tried to photoshop Anderson Silva‘s shorts and it looks like shit. Really, it looks like a 5th grader was screwing around with MS paint.

-Tristar hinted at a GSP return. Hmm.

-An awesome traditional martial arts fail—a different one than we posted earlier today.

Cain Velasquez, Ryan Bader, CB Dolloway, and Aaron Simpson as young ASU wrestlers.

Your worst nightmare.

Eddie Alvarez doing parenting right.

-A titanic, earth-shaking sumo body slam.

-Armani is trying to get involved in the MMA game with a shitty, generic sweatshirt. I’d rather wear affliction…

-Remember Ronda Rousey‘s awkward spot on FOX NFL a few weeks ago? The one that had families asking more questions about her wardrobe than about the fight? So do we.

Check out a sick wrestling takedown, Jackie Chan in drag, and more after the jump.

-Jackie Chan dressed as Chun Li from Street Fighter. We’re not kidding.

-One of the sickest takedowns you will ever see in wrestling.

-Some of MMA’s most hilarious, well-timed screen captures.

-Has Brittney Palmer gotten lots of plastic surgery or has the lighting for every single UFC event just changed?

-We HATE comparing middling MMA fighters to legendary boxers, but Tyron Woodley vs. Josh Koscheck really does look like Muhammad Ali vs. Sonny Liston.

-There exists a video of every single awkward moment and broadcasting fail from UFC 2. Even back then, Brian Kilmeade was the worst…

Dana White looking like a dude out of The Empire Strikes Back.

-The most important one on this list: Why women should learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

-To end things on a lighthearted note, here’s Gabriel Gonzaga riding a donkey.

If you’re not following us on Tumblr (*ahem* and it’s CagePotatoMMA.tumblr.com), know that you’re missing content like this daily. How many more fighters sitting atop farm animals do you need to miss before you just cave in and click the follow button?

Hot Potato: 8 Photos of Chris Cyborg (?!!#!!1?!) Looking…Better

Chris Cyborg...HOT?!?!
(R.I.P Mike in Brazil.) 

Fearection: 1) Sexual arousal combined with a feeling of intimidation and uncertainty, generally provoked by powerful/forceful women who are physically attractive. 2) The act of God himself striking fear into your erection. 3) An erection rooted in an unexpected response to the fight or flight mechanism.

One of these definitions, or perhaps a little bit of each of them, best described our reaction when we came upon these recent pictures of former Strikeforce women’s featherweight champion Christiane “Cyborg” Santos Justino. Because, although our immediate reaction to hearing that the newly single Cyborg was snapped by Globo.com in a series of bikini shots was to shut down our computers, throw them from the top of the highest building in town, and renounce the Internet for life, after actually taking a look at them, we must say that she is looking rather…healthy (?) these days. Sure, it’s not going to get your engine revving like a Gina Carano GQ shoot, but dare we say that Cyborg almost looks doable in a couple of these (Ed note: We know, that statement is now committed to the Internet archives forever). Looks like you done fucked up, Evangelista.

Check out a full gallery of her photos after the jump. Don’t worry, it’s not with our picture viewer.

We’ve noticed that many of you have been bitching like schoolchildren wistfully pointing out the quality (or lack thereof) our photo viewer even more than normal lately, so we are currently working on it. And being that we wouldn’t want to deny a single one of you such steamy photos as these, we’ve provided them in standard, non-gallery format. Don’t say we never did anything for you.

And we saved the best for last…

As Seth asked unto us, we shall ask unto you, Potato Nation: “You know, after she put down the tainted supplements and put on some make up…would you or wouldn’t you?”
