Not to be an ass or anything, but it was NOT a potato bug. Anyone that’s been to Iraq knows that.

That was a solpugid, also known as a camel spider. Anyone that DVR’d the show, take a better look, then google solpugid.

I have 2 combat tours in Iraq with 2nd LAAD Battalion, US Marines, and if someone would have thrown one at me, I would have ran like hell too…… then came back and puched him in the ear

As for the note, it was obvious to all people capable of thought that your comment was not personal. Its obvious that the producers of the show will do anything to manufacture drama.

Looks like Big Baby is the real deal.

Does the UFC have a policy against sexual harassment? If so, it is certain that Rampage has crossed that line. It has been terrible to see Rampage deteriorate week by week.

Thanks for reading guys!

Mike, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your blogging here, and I’m looking forward to your next one. My best wishes to you and your wife for a full recovery for her. It says something about her that she wouldn’t let you quit, and it says something about you that you didn’t. There’s no way on Earth I could have statyed under those circumstances.

I also appreciate that you manned up and took responsibility for your loss (even though if anyone had a reason it was you). You’re an inspiration, sir. Semper Fi.

I think we know now the secret to beating Big Marcus is to throw some spiders at him in the cage. Did you see how fast he leaped away from the dead one Justin threw at him? Big man has got some serious arachnophobia!

Anyhow I hope you read this next part, I find this a very motivational poem that I have on my fridge and read every day, it applies directly to you.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Theodore Roosevelt

Take care

“It’s not failure if you gave it your best, it’s just a loss.” Great line Mike.

I also agree completely with edub. Dana is just pissed how easily Roy dismantled his moneymaker. I don’t even think he comes off that cocky, but it seems like Dana is trying to smear his name on T.V. so that all the Kimbo fans out there are like, “Oh THAT’S why Kimbo lost. Roy is just a big pussy. Dana hates him so he must be a big douche. Kimbo is, like, so totally the MANNNNN!”

First off, I had no idea Jones had good submissions.. Like Mike said, when you hear he has a good ground game, you just think, eh, well, just about everyone has a “good” ground game..

I was not expecting to see a GIANT heavyweight move so quickly on the ground, and better yet, go for an armbar from his back..

I thought he was still relatively new to the game.. He must be just sucking all that training in and not letting go of it..

Also, Mike, believe it or not, you showed more effort in skill in that short amount of time than most of these guys have showed in 10 full minutes of fighting.. Even with your loss I’d still say you’re one of the best fighters in the house, and hopefully, we’ll be seeing you fight under the UFC here soon..

btw. am i the only one who doesnt like brendan schaub? he gets his ass kissed for his blog on mmajunkie, and he always defends his behavior when you see some mobbing on the show. but it is somehow always brendan who is running around smiling and cheering when something childish happens in the house. but in his blog he always loves anybody and anyone is a great guy, bah. he seems to be a fucking tool who wants to be liked by everyone. thats was his blog is telling me.
the only guy worse there is sims, this useless piece of trash going after guys who just fought and are still hurt bad, guess his brain was choked out a long time ago.

I hated to see you and Marcus fight this early in the competiton. But I’m glad to hear you may be working together, it never hurts to have people to train with that are the same size!!!! errr…I mean weight.

Hopefully we get to see u in the UFC man. Keep fighting big guy!

Also if anyone is spiritual saya a prayer for the families of the men lost at ft. Hood today. A piece of shit coward went on a shooting spree and killed 11 people and wounded 31 more.
