Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

It was probably cheap has heck to make and gives them more publicity... can't hate them for trying.

The game looks good, I don't get where your hate's coming from. It looks fun.

Also, you gotta love Bjorn Rebney. That man is promoting ALL THE TIME, even if it ruins his own credibility. The dude would defend racists if he had a Neo-Nazi on his roster.

I think I'm doing poorly, I did get a perfect though on the last result I posted

I'd still like to know what a leg triangle submission looks like according to Sherdog Justin Ledet had his first win that way!

Maybe its some version of a calf slicer?  Either that or the wrong way to just say triangle choke?

Not really thread-worthy...but I'm with Tito, Ariel is ******* annoying the **** out of me and I'm sick of him...here's why...

1. He works for UFC now...so he's not really a respectable journalist anymore.

2. The whole Bob Sapp thing...yeah he's kind of a ***** now but he'd still break Ariel's face with 1 punch. Ariel needs to remember who's the fighter and who's the journalist.

3. His other little feuds he thinks are funny with Askren/Tito/Rampage/Nick Diaz...

4. And now after his video with Cung Le..Ariel pretty much argued with Le and defended Seagal..especially when Cung is like the nicest guy there is, don't take advantage of that and try to get smart.

Anyway...there it is haha.

Ariel's stated this many times before that the MMA Hour is not him being a journalist, but a radio show where he can talk to fighters and exchange views with them. While Ariel isn't the best journalist I think he does a better job than anyone in MMA other than maybe the guys at Bloody Elbow.

Tito on the other hand gets pissed off at Ariel when it was Matt Mitrione who talked **** about his wife and then he reconciles with Mitrione, but refuses to with Ariel? It's hypocritical. Tito needs to learn that working with the press is a mutual relationship instead of him thinking he does all of the work.

^ Yeah but Tito obviously isn't the first dude to have problems with Ariel...I'm just starting to really understand why. I used to be a big fan of Ariel..but I'm just kind of sick of him, AND I'll add that I 100% honestly believe that Karyn Bryant is doing better than him with UFC thus far.

Other than Nick Diaz and Rampage I can't think of anyone else that has had beefs with him and from what it sounded like Rampage was just busting his balls.
