Zijn jullie bekend met MTV Bully Beatdown? Ik kwam net wat afleveringen tegen tijdens het surfen. In deze show krijgt een "bully" de kans om geld te winnen wanneer hij vecht met een MMA vechter. Als hij verliest gaat het geld naar de victims. Wordt gepresenteerd door Mayhem.

Jake Shields episode
Arlovski episode

Valt me op dat Shields nog best wel moeite heeft met die gast

Yep, mooi gevecht van Arlovski, hij vrat die gast nog net niet op. Ik vraag me trouwens af of die bully op dat moment besefte dat hij zo'n beetje tegenover een MMA legend stond.

Het mooiste gevecht vond ik die van Tony Bonello,

Nick Thompson: As I do every summer, I left a graduate-level algebraic graph theory math problem on the board as a challenged posed to my students. I had hoped one of them could solve it by the end of the semester. To my amazement, it was anonymously solved within the first week. In its place, I posted a much more difficult problem, one that took me and my colleagues two years to prove. Then I see this janitor writing over my problem and chase him away only to realize, upon closer inspection of the janitor’s writing, that the janitor had solved this difficult proof. I finally tracked down the janitor and found out his name was Derrick Noble. By the time I found out who he was, he was in a bit of a jam. He was on trial for attacking a police officer. Because of Derrick’s unparalleled promise, I spoke to the judge on Derrick’s behalf. The judge offered him prison or to be released to my supervision to study mathematics and see a therapist. Derrick chose the latter. Derrick treated the first five therapists with utter contempt. In desperation, I finally called on Sean, my old roommate, now an estranged old friend, who is a therapist and happens to think Carwin will win, just like Noble. My fields medal leads me to believe Lesnar will be the champ, but Derrick and Sean both have more natural talent than me, of which I am jealous, and they think Carwin.

quote:

Derrick Noble: While working my second job as a janitor at the local university, I noticed a difficult mathematical problem written on the chalkboard in the hallway. I was actually born with a gift of being able to solve these types of equations, so I took it upon myself to answer the problem. The next week a new, more difficult problem was on the board. As I finished answering the problem, the professor came out of his room, only to see me writing on the board. Since I don’t like the attention my genius brings, I ran away quickly to avoid confrontation. Later that week, the professor tracked me down, and to my surprise, it was Nick Thompson. I told Nick I like to solve math problems, but I also have a bad temper and get into fights. I explained my current situation in which I was going to trial for assaulting a police officer. Nick used his pull and convinced the judge to go lenient on me if I agreed to see a therapist. Nick introduced to his old college roommate, who agreed to help me with my inner demons. Throughout our sessions, we spoke a lot about upcoming MMA fights. We began analyzing the upcoming Lesnar-Carwin fight. I told Sean that I think Carwin will win this after he survives an early ground-and-pound attack in the first round. Sean agreed with my assessment of the fight. Normally, it would be hard for me to open up with my thoughts on upcoming MMA fights, but Sean has taught me that the demons I deal with are not my fault, and it’s OK to be open with my fight predictions. I pick Carwin by round-two TKO.

quote:

Kirkham's opponent, Carlos Iravuro, talked about the shocking turn of events: “I’m in there to compete for a sport,” he says. “I’m not there to do any permanent damage to anybody. I was concerned. Very concerned. I don’t believe I did anything wrong.You know, it was a sport. We both knew what we were doing; we knew what we were getting involved in. I just did what I was supposed to do.

I can’t fully explain how sorry I am. To his family and friends, I am truly sorry and shocked that this tragedy occurred. I, too, will never forget him.”
