Theorizing Bruce Lee
(YouTube) The Fight Nerd spoke with Dr. Paul Bowman of Cardiff University to discuss his extremely fascinating book, "Theorizing Bruce Lee: Film-Fantasy-Fighting-Philosophy" . Dr. Bowman also appears prominently in the new documentary film by Pete McCormack, "I am Bruce Lee."We spoke about the cultural importance of Bruce Lee from the 70′s to today and why he remains so relevant and important, as well as breaking down where many of Bruce's philosophies on martial arts stemmed from and just what they actually mean. This is a truly unique interview on this site and one that all students of Martial Arts philosophy should listen to!

UFC swallows WEC
From CagePotato.com:
But what about us? What about the hardcore fans who have been religiously tuning in to the WEC over the last couple of years to see what have consistently been the best shows in the industry? I mean, we’re kinda getting screwed on this deal, right? Granted, we’re no mathematicians, but it’s unclear how Zuffa reducing its programming on Versus from nine shows during 2010 to four shows during 2011 means anything other than fewer free fights for the fans. And let’s be honest, the UFC is absorbing the WEC for one reason only: So it can charge us for something we used to get for free.

Cage Potato Exclusive Interview: Joe Rogan
We called up Joe Rogan earlier this week hoping to shoot the bull about tomorrow's UFC card. Instead, we got a full education about humanity's impending peak point, the thievery of war, Ashton Kutcher, and psychedelic Internet dance-porn. But that's how it goes with Joe, whether you're listening to his stand-up comedy CDs or watching him explain things to Mike Goldberg during UFC broadcasts — not only are you entertained, but you actually feel smarter afterwards. Of course, he did run down the GSP/Penn matchup for us, as well as share stories about his early days with the UFC and fill us in on his upcoming comedy special. So read on and be enlightened...

excerpt:
There’s a guy named Major Smedley Butler, who was the commander of the United States Marine Corps, and he wrote a speech in 1933 called War Is a Racket, which is fascinating if you read it in 2009. Because in 1933 this guy was talking about how when he was going to all these different places in the name of liberty and justice, really what he was doing was clearing the area for oil companies and making the area safe for bankers, and that basically war is just a means that the elite use to control the rest of the world. They go in and clear areas out so they can profit from them. And that’s been the case since the beginning of time. War is about profit and controlling resources. So do I believe in the Illuminati in that sense? Yes, I do. I do believe that wars are created for profit. And they always have been. And there’s evidence, these aren’t just speculations.
If you look at just this country over the last 50-60 years, in 1961 there was a document that was released called the Northwoods Document, which became available in the Freedom of Information act fairly recently, and this document was signed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff but was vetoed by Kennedy, and it was basically a plan to attack American civilians and to make it look like Cubans were doing it, in order to generate enthusiasm for a war against Cuba. It’s a false flag attack on Americans. They had plans to blow up an American jetliner, attack college students, all this s*** just to get people to be enthusiastic about a war with Cuba. And the Gulf of Tonkin incident, the reason why we got into Vietnam — which never happened. It was a fake attack, it was another false flag incident, another incident of the people in charge conspiring to create an excuse to go to war. So it that sense, the elite controlling the world, that’s f****** real.

Herschel Walker: I’m Going To Become A Fighter
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Herschel Walker could have rested easy after his football career – the 1982 Heisman Trophy winner locked up a got a spot in the College Football Hall of Fame and owned multi-million dollar meat company. But he’s taking the opposite route, choosing to compete in a sport that didn’t exist two decades ago when the 47-year-old former running back was in his athletic prime.
On Jan. 30, Walker will step into the Strikeforce cage in Sunrise, Fla. to face Greg Nagy (1-1). To prepare for his MMA debut the Georgia Bulldog immersed himself in training at the American Kickboxing Academy for nearly three months. A lifelong martial artist, Walker has always challenged himself athletically, like when he made the 1992 Olympic bobsled team mid-way through his NFL career, but men his age tend to focus more on how good they used to be than how much they still have left to achieve.

In Defense of Titties
Now, I know what you’re saying: “Ryan, why do you have to defend titties? Who could hate titties? I love them!” I’m not talking about those wonderful delights that have caused men to spend crazy amounts of money on dinners at the Olive Garden. I’m talking about those wonderful MMA fighters who may not be in the best possible shape. The ones who look as if they just got done with a workout of 12-ounce curls. They may have a little junk in the trunk, if you will. They’re husky. Big boned. Yep, use pretty much every line a mother uses to make her son feel better for loving to eat Cheetos for every meal. (They’re so tasty, though!)
Let’s face it: You have moobs. Man boobs. If you’ve been watching this season’s The Ultimate Fighter (and if you haven’t, what’s wrong with you? Rampage, Rashad, Kimbo!?!?), then you’ve seen Rampage continue to make fun of Darrill Schoonover by calling him “titties,” since Big D may not be the best physical specimen on Earth. But having an amazing physique doesn’t make you a good fighter. As Kenny Powers says in Eastbound and Down on HBO, “I play real sports … not trying to be the best at exercising.” So even though these guys may not have beautifully etched abs, cannonball delts, cobra-like lats, muscular thighs, and a firm bottom, it doesn’t mean they can’t scrap. (Did I really just write that sentence? Holy hell! I need to go look at pictures of hot chicks ASAP.)
