Chael Sonnen Needs to Lay-low

Chael Sonnen is a big trash talker who doesn't know when to stop. He hyped up the fight between champion Anderson Silva and himself. Only to lose in the end by a triangle choke. Then later failing the after-fight drug test. Now its heard that he is in a money laundering scandal. Sonnen was originally a politician and wrestler who ventured into the world of MMA. It seems he cant get rid of his politician ways, going around trying to slander other people's name and talk down to them.

Some advice for Sonnen is to relax a bit. Then start training again while he's on suspension and work his way back up into the top 5 of his weightclass. Seeing as problems get solved within the cage there's no reason for Chael to talk so much. But I guess he decided since no one will be able to fight him for a couple months he might as well talk.

Upcoming UFC 126 -

UFC 126 will take place at the Mandalay Bay on Feburary 5th.
It will be headlined by middleweight champion Anderson Silva, defending his world title against fellow Brazilian Vitor Belfort. Up-and-coming light heavyweights Ryan Bader and Jon Jones will also hook 'em up in a battle that could determine the next division contender. 205-pound veterans and former champions Rich Franklin and Forrest Griffin will collide in what is sure to be an action-packed match. These are the two main events on the card.

Anderson Silva's last two peformancs haven't been so good.  With a narrow win against Chael Sonnen via triangle choke. Then in his fight against Demian Maia he played around during the fight and didnt finish it, winnning by decision. Silva really has to step his performance up making more exciting fights and soldifying the reason why he's champion.

UFC - WEC Merger

UFC is like that of the NFL of mma. The WEC is basically in second place to them.  The UFC would carry the heavy weight classes 160lb+ and the WEC the lighter weight classes 125lb-155lb. This move is gives former WEC, to be UFC fighters many benefits. First off they will be on a  more popular channel, SPIKE which hosts the UFC.

They will also get an increase in pay seeing as the UFC is a multi-million dollar organization. MMA fighters can take all the pay they can get. Since unless your champion or really popular the paycheck is sort of lacking. Compared to what you would get in a regular office job salary. With the UFC only being 18 years old, and mma still a young sport, not alot of money is given out to fighters like that in boxing and other professional sports. Where you see NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL players having million dollar contracts. Nonetheless its a no-brainer this merger will create more exciting fights for fans with the lower weight classes and the fighters will have bigger paychecks.

Identity

It has finally been decided this blog's identity will be two-fold. Consisting of information on martial arts and poetry. Possibly some philosophical sayings will be mixed in when I'm feeling like a philosopher. Martial arts is just one of the things I love tremendously in this world. As for poetry I used to be a poet and thing I shall pick up the pen one more time and let the words flow across the paper.

There are so many different types of martial arts and techniques just like in poetry. When you have alot of feelings bottled up people might suggest that you write it out, most likely in the form of a poem. Just like poetry can express your feelings martial arts can express that too and more. No two martial artist are the same, they all have unique personalities when they're fighting. Something deep down that they do instinctively that no one can copy. These two art forms are all about self-expression.

North American Diet

The North American Diet is not healthy by any means. With the amounts of processed junk food we digest daily. These chemically altered food lack the nutritients and fiber that are body need, but are high in calories. That combined with a sedentary lifestyle leads to health problems. Its so bad that obesity is now a common sight.

The problem is that people want to lose weight effortlessly by means of a "magic pill". The ones who try to change soon quit because of old habits which are so easy to fall back on. After they're done dieting all the weight is regained. Then they get on another diet and fall off, just a vicious cycle of weight loss and weight gain.

SALT - 2010 Movie

The movie has Angelina Jolie as the action star. The main plot being the destruction of the USA. Overall the movie doesnt get as good a praise as it should for a female being the action star. Since usually men are the ones who star these type of movies. The plot wasn't too complex but overall kept you interested and wondering what might happen next. As always Angelina's movies are a pleasure to watch. Can't wait until The Tourist comes out starring her and Johnny Depp. Yes Johnny Depp the same man that starred in Pirates of the Carribean. From the trailers its sad that Depp's character is wanted in 14 countries and people are trying to kill him. Later on it seems that he meets up with Jolie

1961

Today's discussion will be about events that happened in 1961. To narrow things down and not making it just a long list of things we will talk about George Clooney who was born that year. Yeah that makes Clooney 50 years old. If you need alittle reminder George Clooney is an actor. Clooney starred in three films apart of the Ocean's series. From Ocean's Eleven to Ocean's Thirteen. His character was Danny Ocean a world class criminal, who steals large amounts of money from people.  He even starred in an 1997 production of Batman & Robin as Batman. Clooney still acts up until this day, but remains a bachelor with no plans of having children.
