If Yoel Romero was crossbred with George Romero we would have the deadliest zombie-killing machine known to mankind. For example: the ankle pick that no one performs better than Yoel -- a great move for burgeoning zombie hunters, as long as they are the slow zombies, which is how it would be if the zombie invasion ever really did take place. Just walk up to the zeds and take them down from the ankle, then let your partner finish them with a sledgehammer to the skull. The only negative in Yoel's case would be the accidental tearing off of the calf and lower leg, but what can you do? Without the crossbreeding we just have a scary light heavyweight who is making his UFC debut after an 18-month layoff. Last time we saw Yoel, he was in that weird fight with Rafael Cavalcante in Strikeforce, but now he's set to take on Clifford Starks at UFC 158.

In honor of the Olympic freestyle wrestling silver medal winner's return to MMA, let's take a Blast to the Past and watch some of his impressive highlights. An excellent way to spend a Tuesday evening if there ever was one.

As a former wrestler who LOVED using the ankle pick and knee tap, I cannot get enough of that gif. That is clean and quick.

I once saw a kid in jr high school pull off a double ankle pick against one of the three guys facing him down (before hauling ass away from all three of them). He was always getting picked on by gangs of kids, and it didn't help that he ran his mouth when he was cornered, but the kid could pull off some crazy stuff when he stood his ground. Still blows my mind he pulled that maneuver off on pavement. Wish I knew where he was now (but I can probably guess)

A third of criminals convicted of serious offences last year were prolific offenders, compared with one in five in 2002, the Ministry of Justice said. Nine ordinary business people, including a hairdresser and a coach operator, were listed by http://www.acoachfactoryusaoutlet.com/ coach factory outlet as part of a scheme to highlight deliberate defaulters. The idea is that the stigma of appearing on the list, to be updated every three months, will persuade those thinking of avoiding tax to pay up. In a worrying first, three men convicted of plotting an atrocity to eclipse 7/7 were not recruited by radical preachers, but influenced by extremist rantings online. Irfan Naseer, Irfan Khalid and Ashik Ali wanted to create a new landmark date of horror that would surpass the 2005 London bombings as 'revenge for everything.
