Bas “El Guapo” Rutten

I love Bas Rutten and Joe Rogan. Here’s a little more than two hours of reasons why:

Video streaming by UstreamOne knock against El Guapo:

Bas is adamently against fighters using steroids and has on many occasions called the ones that juice “cheaters” and “losers.” Yet he doesn’t seem to view fighters that use painkillers before a fight in the same light, even noting that he’s shot painkillers into his hands and other parts of his body mere minutes before the start of some of his bouts. Isn’t that “cheating,” even kinda?

I’d love to hear what Bas has to say about that. Shit, I’d love to hear what Bas has to say about anything!

“Let’s Go to War!”

I’ve always been a fan of movie universes where the only way to ease your financial woes is to fight other men—preferably in a tournament.

But Warrior seems to be going above and beyond that. Not only is the main character “upside down” on his mortgage, but he’s also a high school physics teacher-cum-fighter. And his brother, a war hero, is a fighter too. And they’re dad? Nick-to-the-motherfucking-Nolte! And they’re all Irish-American! (I’m also a huge fan of rooting for white guys.)

Check out the trailer:

Suggestion for dialogue change:
Instead of the line “Brendan, it’s me: Pop,” I wish he would have said, “Brendan, it’s me: Nick Nolte.”

The Gospel According to the Power Ranger

Our very own Lou Perez has an article in the online magazine Religion Dispatches called “It’s Marketin’ Time!: Ex-Power Ranger Morphs into Fighter-Entrepreneur for Jesus.”

The piece  is about ex-Mighty Morphin’ Power Ranger turned cage fighter Jason David Frank, who, for the past couple of years, has been bringing his Jesus Didn’t Tap clothing line to the Christian Mixed Martial Arts enthusiast.

Please read the article, leave comments, and share it with others.

For some behind-the-scene info on the article, visit Lou’s website www.LouPerez.net, the place where Lou Perez is Luis Amate Perez.
