I am always seeing different types of pictures on twitter of fighters and stuff so I thought I would start a thread where we could put them.

Here's one of the UFC press conference setup, pretty interesting place to do a press conference!

It's traditional chinese medicine, I think.  I know a Chinese guy that does this, it leaves some ****** up looking circles on your body.  You couldn't pay me to let someone do this to me, it makes me cringe.

I'm pretty sure that's been written off by actual doctors as a quack practice that does nothing to medically benefit the patient.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupping_therapy



In their 2008 book Trick or Treatment, Simon Singh and Edzard Ernst write that no evidence exists of any beneficial effects of cupping for any medical condition.
Cupping is widely used as an alternative treatment for cancer and is considered relatively safe. However, according to the American Cancer Society, it can leave temporary bruised marks on the skin and there is a small risk of burns, additionally: "available scientific evidence does not support claims that cupping has any health benefits".
A 2012 review of the evidence in an article published in PLOS ONE said that studies appeared to show that cupping therapy was effective for treating a number of conditions, but that "nearly all included trials were evaluated as high risk of bias" – better designed studies would be needed in order to reach definitive conclusions.

Lol gotta love that I have two people following me around down arrowing me. Thanks guys, just letting me know I am winning. While you are spending your time following my lame ass around giving me down arrows on my every post, while I spend my time enjoying a fine site with some great conversation and equally great people.

I know it's not leeches. Unlike cupping, leeches actually serve a medical purpose. I think they used them to remove dead flesh back in the day.

But I was referring to the leeches as in the bloodletting thing where they thought they needed to remove the bad blood blah blah blah.

Funny video Kennedy posted

timkennedymma 3 minutes agoI'm not happy about this. Somebody leaked a video of me training for @bisping. The @ufc needs to control the stuff.

I don't even need to watch that, I'm sure it involved Kennedy getting hit by a guy with pillows for gloves.

We get it, Bisping has no knockout power.

He indeed has pillows on his hands in the video.

Kennedy is just embarrassing himself.. What does that say about him when Bisping finishes him?

Bisping might get the win but I don't think he will finish Kennedy.

Kennedy is one of those people who actually thinks they're funny.

Bisping finished Jorge Rivera and Jason Miller. Granted, those aren´t the best two names to have as finishes on your record, but all told Bisping has finished 8 UFC fights. That´s not indicative of ¨pillow hands¨  by any stretch of the imagination.

Finishing Jorge Rivera really says something!

Didn't Bisping "finish" Rivera after an illegal blow? 




What a finisher!!!!!

One of the most blatant fouls in UFC history.

Bisping has never finished a top 15 Middleweight but he's been finished.by a few.
