We really thought the youth of America took a giant stride forward after invading a Bass Pro Shop and taking an unannounced dip in the manmade fishin’ pond, but turns out that when you stick them in a mall, they become total morons…as usual.

Top 10 Dana White Quotes
Dana White is getting a lot of guff over his announcement that he had a shocking announcement and the subsequent announcement that the shocking announcement is being delayed. So, rumors and anger are running rampant across the blogosphere. Many think White is just a putz – right, Tito? – while others think he’s a cunning and shrewd business man. Personally, we think he’s a brilliant guy and we’re willing to wait on the big announcement because we feel certain he’ll deliver. After all, this is one of the men who helped resurrect the UFC from ridicule and disgust to the single most successful mixed martial arts promotion on the planet. So, while we wait, here’s a list of the “Top 10 Dana White Quotes” of all-time according the fellas over the TheMMAPost.com.
10. Hell, forget about college. I barely finished high school.
9. I’m a guy that did exactly what he wanted to do. When you do that the money follows.
8. Boxing is a road map of what not to do. The greedy promoters basically killed the sport by taking it off free TV.
7. If you take four street corners, and on one they are playing baseball, on another they are playing basketball and on the other, street hockey. On the fourth corner, a fight breaks out. Where does the crowd go? They all go to the fight.
6. The deal-closers are the live events. If you come to a live event, you leave that place done, you’re hooked, you’re in. It is the greatest live sporting event you will ever see.
5. You show up at a [Los Angeles] Lakers game, you’ll never meet Kobe Bryant. But when you show up to a UFC event, odds are pretty damn good that you’re not only going to meet Liddell, but he’s going to sign what you need signed and take a picture with you.
4. A lot of times, kids go to college and take a major because they do what they think they’re supposed to do. I told them I believe 90 percent of America gets up in the morning and drives to a job they hate. That could have happened to me in the hotel industry.
3. That’s one of the things when you go to a UFC event live, the energy in the place is crazy. People are there because they’re passionate about it.
2. It’s really the last nail in the coffin with the media not giving us the credibility and not looking at us as a real sport. The cover of Sports Illustrated, the talk shows – we’re there. We’ve finally arrived.
1. People don’t realise what gifted athletes these guys are. Think about how hard it is to become a professional boxer. These guys are without doubt the greatest athletes in the world.
Wait, what about “No, it’s Playboy, asshole!“?

It might be stupid, but it still beats the hell out of competitive beer pong.
In case you missed it, last night’s episode of WWE RAW was absolutely historic. No, we’re not talking about the debut of Vince McMahon’s Million Dollar Mania, we’re referring to the company’s signing of the hottest underground wrestling duo going: Tweedledum and Tweedledumber.

Finally, The Screamers have some competition.
The other day we told you about the possibility of Floyd Mayweather Jr. stepping into the cage and fighting for the UFC. We still don’t know if that is going to be Dana White’s big announcement this Thursday, but it is definitely an intriguing option. However, MMARated.com has word that something bigger is brewing. One idea that is being tossed around is that White will announce that Anderson Silva is jumping up in weight to fight Chuck Liddell this fall. Another possibility is that the UFC will join forces with Golden Boy Promotions. Then comes the doozie, Zuffa has sold the UFC to the king of trash TV FOX.
Is the Zuffa/UFC era about to end? Have the Fertittas and White cashed out? Thursday can’t come soon enough.
That’s one way to get Tito Ortiz off his back.

Kenny Smith must be so proud.
A long, long time ago Floyd Mayweather was the greatest boxer alive. But that was before he got bored with the competition. So, Money went on to samba and polka his way into America’s heart on Dancing with the Stars before deciding to take his in-ring skills to a different kind of squared circle, accepting a whole mess of WWE’s cash in order to get in a match with the Big Show at Wrestlemania. Well, it appears Mayweather still can’t decide on a full-time career.
I just got off the phone with a source very close to the situation and I am told that Floyd Mayweather and his representatives have been in contact with UFC’s Dana White as late as Wednesday but “possibly as late as last night” according to the source.
UFC is expected to make several announcements on Thursday.
1) Anderson Silva will be fighting in the light heavyweight class
2) Chuck Liddell will fight in the main event on the September pay-per-view in AtlantaHowever, the big announcement being rumored is that Floyd Mayweather will be signing or has signed with UFC. For those that did not read our last update, Mayweather announced his retirement from boxing. If this signing turns out to be the case this would be a huge coup for UFC as it would surely attract some of the boxing fans that have not given UFC a chance.
Since Big Show was no problem for Mayweather, we figure that his first opponent should be Rampage. That should be a money maker…or a back breaker.

Apparently the great action from EliteXC’s Saturday Night Fights didn’t end with the now infamous exploding ear. Turns out that Brett Rogers, who was also victorious at the event, called out Kimbo Slice during the post fight press conference, setting up a mini Mike Tyson episode and a possible almost definite brawl between the two in the near future.
Kimbo got exposed big time during his fight with James Thompson, but we still don’t know how smart it was for Rogers to do that. Sure, it will elevate his name from a nobody in the fight game, but at what cost? While we all know Slice’s brawling style won’t be successful forever inside the cage, for now, his punching power is unmatched and when he starts throwing combos then it is nighty-night for his opponents.

We always thought the people with way, way, way too much free time on their hands took up finger jousting, but apparently they go skin kicking as well.

We’ve all played baseball at some point and been totally screwed by the ump. Normally, you just have to suck it up and feel the burn because, after all, you can’t go out and throw a ball at face or anything…or can you?
