My Picks For UFC 171: Hendricks' Beard vs Strikeforce Never Die

Wow where to begin. First off, I'm riding a nice buzz thanks to Alpine Beer Company and Southern Tier Brewing. Secondly, wow, so much missed weight. Hendricks missing weight. Dude. What. You don't deserve to have that beard anymore. You're giving us bearded guys a bad name. Pathetic. Enough. Third, I'm ready for a burrito and another beer.

Onward To Golgotha

ROBBIE LAWLER IS FIGHTING FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP BELT. DUDE. WHAT. In 2014 Robbie Lawler is fighting for the UFC belt. Holy shit. And Johny Hendricks misses weight ? Yes, I know he made weight 2 hours later but still. And GSP is retired ? Craziest year ever and we're only in March. Poor Hendricks though, he'll never live his dream of being a champion since Ruthless is going to flying knee his beard off. Or he's going to use his superior boxing technique and still knock off his beard. What ? You're surprised I'm not picking Hendricks ? Deal with it. That's what happens when someone with a beard misses weight. It's insulting to us. You think I've ever missed the 265 pound limit ? Hell no. A steady diet of burritos and pizza and beer keeps me in check. Even better, Nick Diaz is anti-Hendricks too. Don't be scared homie. Lawler by flying knee KO 3rd round.

Tyrone Woodley calling Condit a point fighter...what the fuck. The same guy that had some brutally boring decisions in Strikeforce ? The same guy that lost to Jake Shields when he was supposed to knock him out ? Get out of my life. Saying that the Natural Born Killer of all people is a point fighter ? Umm. No. Not even close son. I ALMOST want Condit to win by boring decision just to spite him but that wouldn't be too fun. What would be awesome is if Condit double flying knee KO's Tyrone in the 1st round. What would be TRIPLE awesome is if Condit and Lawler fight eachother and the only thing they use is flying knees. Oh my god.

Diego Sanchez wearing a Bane mask and doing yoga at the open workouts was amazing but I just can't cheer for someone that misses an impossible amount of punches while shadowboxing in church high on Stevia. But is Miles "Davis" Jury the one that's going to stop Diego's schizophrenic air-punching ? I don't know. Last time I saw him fight was against uhh...Mike Ricci ? Hold on, let me check Wikipedia. Ok yeah, his last win was a split against Mike Ricci. Before that he knocked out somebody and out-grappled Michael "Jordan" Johnson. Does not inspire confidence. Of course Diego lost to Gomi, Kampmann, Melendez, and Ellenberger in his last 4 fights so uhh...yeah I don't know. Myles Davis by decision makes sense cause I doubt he KO's Diego. Ugh this pick is terrible. DIEGO SANCHEZ BY MEXICAN DESTROYING UPPERCUT OF DEATH FUCK LOGIC WAR CHINGASOS.

Fuck Jake Shields. Hector "Oompa Loompa" Lombard better not mess this up by letting Shields bap bap bap his way to a boring 15 minute decision. That'd be the worst. It doesn't matter though, it seems like every time Jake Shields is supposed to lose, he ends up pillow-punching his way to a win. Every time. How does he do it ? How does he bap bap bap his opponents into total hesitation ? I've been punched harder by ghost Pokemon. One time a bird crapped on me harder than a Jake Shields punch. My bowel movements have hit the toilet bowl harder than a Jake Shields punch. Poop poop poop. Lombard by Cuban Missile Crisis.

OSP is fighting the Russian Al "Stephen Graham" Capone. You really expect me to pick against Boardwalk Empire ? Not happening. La Femme Nikita Krylov gonna stomp this momo.

Preliminary stream of consciousness: 

Kelvin Gastelum took 3 dumps to make weight. That's a true champion in my eyes. War Kelvin "Goofiest First Name For A Mexican Ever" Gastelum. Raquel Pennington looks like a Suicide Girl hopeful that really never stood a chance, ever. That's all I have to say about this fight. Dennis "The Menace AKA Worst Nickname Ever" Bermudez Triangle SHOULD be finishing fights with his aggression alone but he's kinda like a smaller Diego Sanchez. Jim Hettes on the other hand has a last name that rhymes with lettuce. So you guys already know where I'm going with this one. Nope ? Yeah, neither do I. Dennis Bermudez Triangle by his signature finishing move the Bermuda Triangle Triangle. Will "My Boner For Sergio Pettis Is Incredible" Crapuzingano vs Justin Scoggins is gonna be badass except I'll totally forget to watch it because I don't have Fart Pass and I'll be busy like...not watching the prelims. Gotta go with Scoggins though. I don't know how. But hopefully it's rad. Or not. Who cares. It's on Fart Pass. That's like the Bermuda Triangle of watching fights. The rest of the fights are useless. I'm out.
