"In the most brutal and often most misunderstood sport in the world, becoming a champion takes more than just blood, sweat, and tears. Like Water follows middleweight Ultimate Fighter Anderson Silva as he prepares to crown his four-year run as the unbeaten king of the sport with a record 12th straight win in the UFC. With intimate access to Silva and his intense training, the surprising and inspiring man behind one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time emerges."

indeed very sad :/
This 20 minute video on Razor Ramon aired recently. The first 2 minutes of video one has some lag spikes, but it smooths out after 5 minutes or so. It's a good watch, but very sad.
Initially launched in 2008, XARM features two competitors tethered to the XARM table and bound together at the hand with duct tape. Over the course of three one-minute rounds, competitors are free to punch, kick and seek submission holds while also using traditional arm-wrestling as a means of scoring points. Just like MMA, XARM bouts can be won via knockout, submission or judges' decision.
Art Davie, co-founder of the UFC, serves as the CEO of XARM.
Since I have no life at the moment, I'm on the internet a lot and always run into kewl videos and other various things.
The videos range from documentaries, combat sports, interviews, and much more.
I'll continue to save all the videos in the tab section of my browser and release them when it gets too full.
I could probably just post them in the YouTube/Video thread, but I rather contribute to both places on and off.
- Marathon des Sables, an 156 mile "ultramarathon". This multi-day race is held every year in southern Moroccan, in the Sahara desert. It is considered the toughest foot race on Earth. (Think of the movie Hidalgo, starring Viggo Mortensen, but it takes place on foot instead of horses. Pretty awesome event that I want to try someday.)

4) Nick doesn’t “play the game”
3) Nick will box you up and choke you with a gogo
2) Nick doesn’t speak French
1) And the #1 reason Nick Diaz should be the new UFC Champ….he Ain’t No Bitch!
If you're a book reader, then you've probably heard of Borders book store. It was the second largest book store, and is now going out of business.
Basically, I don't give a shit about Borders, but I made this thread for anyone who lives near a Borders store and wanted to pick up some inexpensive books that will be available through the companies liquidation process. I'm not sure if they have any poker books, but there might be some good stuff to pick up for yourself or upcoming birthdays/holidays as presents, like the Fire and Ice series (Game of Thrones).
"Borders could not overcome competition from larger rival Barnes & Noble (BKS) and Amazon.com (AMZN), which began to dominate book retail when the industry shifted largely online. Borders, which had filed for Chapter 11 in February, also never was able to come up with an electronic reader like Amazon's Kindle and Barnes & Noble's Nook."
