Was surprised at the return of Seanbaby to writing things I actually end up reading. Kind of impressed at his knowledge of mma considering he's a bit of a pussy in real life.

A small excerpt:
Anderson Silva vs. Thales Leites UFC 97
http://www.cracked.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/sb57-10.jpgUFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva is widely regarded as the best striker to ever fight in MMA. He dodges punches like he’s in the Matrix and holding a NES Advantage. In the time it takes you to tell your foot to kick, he’s circled behind you and built a bear trap under it. It’s suicide to attack him. However, there’s one problem with being Anderson Silva: everyone knows that you’re Anderson Silva. Everyone who fights him is scared to death to get close. Let’s try to attack the problem logically.
1. Anderson Silva is waiting for you to punch him.
2. That guy is Anderson Silva.
3. Don’t fucking punch that guy.
Thales Leites is apparently a man of logic, because he came to the same conclusion. I’ve seen more aggression from lesbian couples reciting their wedding vows.
http://www.cracked.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/sb57-leites.jpgThales’ gameplan seemed to be waiting for a stage light to fall on Silva. He’d occasionally go for takedowns with all the enthusiasm of a tobacco-funded anti-smoking commercial. You’d swear he was trying to fail. Anderson was so bored that he started punching Thales in the legs and even danced his way into a behind-the-back shin kick. He was literally inventing new martial arts to keep from falling asleep. I don’t speak Portuguese, but I think he was calling to his corner for a magazine at one point.
Leites only wanted to fight on the ground, and that was smart, but he couldn’t take Silva down and he refused to try to knock him down. That left only one option– throwing his own body to the mat. He used any excuse. The breeze from a jab: flop. A sudden change in direction: flop! None of it managed to trick Silva. Every time Leites flopped, the champ just turned his back and walked away. It was the classic matchup between Tripping and Leaving. Looking back, I don’t think Leites was even trying to take the title that night. He was probably just waiting for his nail polish to dry and needed to find something to do for 25 minutes that didn’t involve his hands.
