Questions I'd like to ask Bruce Buffer

Do you tell your kids IT'S TIME to brush your teeth and go to bed?
Does your wife hate it that you know how much everyone weighs? Because, you know, chicks hate it when you know how much they weigh.
Did you and your brother have Mr. Microphone wars when you were little?

Questions I'd like to ask Steve Mazzagatti

Were you secretly hoping Frank Mir was going to snap Brock Lesnar's leg and that's why you ignored his completely obvious tap? And then when he tapped a second time you couldn't pretend like you didn't see it again and begrudgingly stopped the fight?
After you order food in a restaurant do you yell at the waitress "Now bring it on! C'mon!"

Questions I'd like to ask Dana White

Do you call your kids bro? When you kiss them goodnight do you tell them to sleep fuckin' tight? Do you ask them if they wanna be a fuckin' fighter?
Do you think Greg Jackson really murdered UFC 151? Do you think he could cop to a lesser plea of man slaughtering the event?
Is the only regret you have the video blog where you berated what's her face? Nothing else?

Why does Don Frye hate Dan Henderson?

In an interview with  Spencer Lazara of MMAinterviews TV, Frye was asked if he cheers for fighters like Henderson, a fellow UFC and Pride legend.

"No, I think Dan Henderson is an asshole," Frye said. "I went on a UFO tour with him over to Afghanistan back in '07, and I found he could be a complete asshole."

I can only imagine what happened on this UFO tour.
*Image blurs indicating a flashback to the actual events.

Scene: Afghanistan, interior tent, 2007.
Don Frye is lying on a cot. Dan Henderson occupies the adjacent cot.
Scene begins as Frye awakens, sits up in his cot and stretches.
Frye: Good morning, sunshine!
Hendo grunts and rolls over, pulling the pillow over his head.
Frye: Wakey! Wakey! Eggs and bakey sleepy head!
Hendo's hand emerges from his blanket, flipping Frye the bird.
Frye: C'mon Dan. The tour leaves in 30 minutes.
Hendo sits up: There's no UFO's you idiot. We're here to support our troops!
Frye: Now, Dan. We both know that's not true. Now get your little singlet out of bed and join me for some yogurt and granola. It's going to be a superific day!
Hendo lies back down: Fuck you, Don.

Dana White only regrets one thing...

Dana White speaking about the only regret he has thus far in his career:
"You guys have to understand this, but this is the way I am. I have no regrets. The only thing that I regret is in that video blog when I used the F word. That's the only thing throughout the 12 years of running the UFC. The way I came off in that thing, people still think I'm some kind of homophobe, and I'm not. That still bothers me."

Curiously, others have come out of the woodwork to voice their one career regrets.


Dennis Hallman: "Should have went with pink. What was I thinking?"


Paul Daley: "I should have thrown an uppercut."


Jeremy Stephens: "Checking in under a fake name would have been advisable."

Mayhem Miller insane?

We all knew Jason "Mayhem" Miller was not playing with a full deck. That the porch light was on but no one was home. That he had a few screws loose. That he...you get the idea. But we didn't really know how insane until now.
I think Ariel Helwani described it best when he said it was "a little sad". Not to mention disturbing. But as I was watching the video of Miller's appearance on the MMA Hour, I felt an array of emotions. Embarrassment, despair. But most of all the entire interview was very awkward and uncomfortable for anyone to watch.
Luckily Miller is owning up to it.
