Thiago Alves is fighting John Howard at UFC 124 and we're all going to like it

Thiago Alves is fighting John Howard at UFC 124 and we're all going to like it

A couple of days ago on MMAJunkie radio, Mike Pierce called out Thiago Alves and had some pretty decent smack talk regarding Alves on Facebook. On Twitter, Pierce said 'This place is as dead as Thiago Alves' and 'Thiago Alves to be featured on Biggest Loser on Dec 23rd'. He even asked Dana to gi...

Joe Warren vs. Joe Soto comes on TONIGHT!

Joe Warren vs. Joe Soto comes on TONIGHT!

It's the only MMA any of us will be seeing this week, so if you vehemently hate the sport of mixed martial arts, despise equally matched title fights and refuse to see spectacular finishes, don't watch Bellator 27 tonight on Fox Sports West. Your friends will make fun of you behind your back, but ...

KJ Noons thinks Nick Diaz is a trash-talking, pot-smoking chump

KJ Noons thinks Nick Diaz is a trash-talking, pot-smoking chump

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Nick Diaz and KJ Noons rivalry, the beef started back in Elite XC where a controversial doctor stoppage handed Diaz his only loss in the past 3 years. Winning a fight due to a doctor stoppage in the first round is a lot like winning a competitive ea...

EA Sports MMA will not be released in Denmark due to a strange Scandinavian law

When the Kool-Aid man breaks through a wall in a commercial, all the kids start cheering. Imagine a seven-foot pitcher full of Kool-Aid breaking through your house screaming 'Oh yeah!', it's a horrifying thought. He might spill over and get some of himself on the carpet. The worst thing is, you ca...

If you missed the UFC Fan Expo, Bloodstain Lane has you covered

In all fairness, the entire MiddleEasy crew was supposed to go to the UFC Fan Expo in a taco truck and serve up carne asada goodness for fans of the site. Sadly the idea didn’t work out after we learned that tacos are not an approved cuisine at the John B. Hynes Center. Not sure what Boston ha...

Karo Parisyan is BACK in the UFC!

Karo Parisyan is BACK in the UFC!

I could be looking too far into it, but when Dana says that you '[Expletive] the UFC' by pulling out of the fight the day before weigh-ins, it looks like that may denote a lifetime ban. In fact, it did constitute a lifetime ban in the promotion, but in ZUFFA years, a lifetime is only ten months....

Overeem accepts Fedor's challenge, plans to fight him after K-1

Overeem accepts Fedor's challenge, plans to fight him after K-1

The greatest thing about Alistair Overeem accepting Fedor's challenge to fight him after he's done with the K-1 Grand Prix is that he actually watched a Bloodstain Lane video on a message board and responded. Next step for Alistair Overeem is to accept my friend request on Xbox Live. The guy plays...

Mariusz Pudzianowski is leaner, meaner, and doesn't think he hits like a girl

I used to think the meaning of life was somewhere inside the cut Jose Benevidez left on Miguel Torres’ forehead, but it turns out those were just Miguel’s deepest thoughts about the perfect plate of carnitas after a warm bath. If the meaning of life was actually hidden in plain site, it would...

Dan Henderson and Gegard Mousasi may get the next Strikeforce title shots, despite coming off losses

A lot of people criticized Strikeforce’s decision to give Brett Rogers a title shot immediately following his loss to Fedor Emelianenko last year. This past spring, Ubereem agreed with those critics as he made short work of Rogers and ended his first title defense in just shy of four minutes. ...

Carlos Newton demonstrates a one-inch punch and throws a Wu-Tang reference in for good measure

Carlos Newton should be undefeated based on how cool he looks. The same goes with Sokoudjou or any other guy that competes in MMA with a full set of dredlocks. We all wanted them, but our parents firmly held onto the belief that long hair was a gateway drug that led to smoking marijuana, wearing t...

Read about the night Matt Serra almost killed Bauzen PDF Print E-mail
Written by Bauzen   
Monday, 22 February 2010 12:04

So on Saturday I attended a UFC 110 Viewing Party in NYC with Former UFC Welterweight Champion Matt “The Terror” Serra. I was supposed to submit my round-by-round scoring, but after “The Terror” stopped by to chat with me, I suddenly forgot how to use my blackberry and I ended up DMing those round-by-round scores to everyone who follows me on twitter instead of Zeus.

Sorry, Zeus

A few week ago, Matt and I totally bonded in an interview, and I was hoping we were going to pound Jagerbombs utilizing the ‘Broski’ method while watching an amazing night of fights. Instead, he wasn’t entirely enthusiastic with our choice of wording in our write-up. He expressed his distaste at our insinuation that he consumed several  'adult beverages' that night, and the bromance was never to be… (bummer)

I held my breath and tried my best to keep from crying/fainting. Should Matt Serra ever decide he wanted to extend his hand in my direction in any means other than a handshake, I can envision the fight going a lot like Hong Man Choi vs. Jose Canseco, except much shorter and I’d probably look a lot less recognizable the next day.

Luckily Matt Serra is a cool dude, and I’m pretty thankful he didn’t rip my arm off, Aoki style. Instead, he made the party an overwhelming success by filling a small Upper West Side Bar to capacity along with Pete ‘Drago’ Sell, P.R. Cole, the whole cast of Tokyo Five, and our friends over at GalsGuideToMMA, who have their own version of how they saw the events of that evening go down in the form of the most beautiful poem I’ve ever read…

It was a cool winter night as we stood in the bar,
People packed in from near and afar.
The crowd was awash in joy and good cheer,
The conversation flowed as well as the beer.
There stood Bauzen, leaning on the wall,
His shouts of “Kill Bisping!” could be heard above all.
All of a sudden the crowd drew apart,
Along came Matt Serra with vengeance in his heart.
He approached our dear Bauzen, hand curled in a fist,
He had something to say, and man was he pissed.
“You made me look like a drunk!” he said to our hero,
But Bauzen stayed cool like Robert De Niro.
“I did my job,” he said, chest puffed with pride,
The interview was good, that can’t be denied.
Serra backed up, a look of doubt in his eye,
Bauzen’s brazen defense had stifled his reply.
He left the confrontation, his tail between his legs,
“I’m so very sorry” for Bauzen's pardon he begs.
My heart started beating, for awhile it had stopped,
And when I looked down, my panties had dropped.

Even though I remember what happened slightly differently, I guess perception is everything. I couldn’t have done too badly holding my ground if a couple of sexy twins I met that night are writing poetry about it the next day. Turns out that advice Fedor gave me in Chicago was the best guidance anyone has ever given me.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the party. If you didn’t know about the party… It’s your fault for not following me on twitter.

That venue sucked! Where the hell were the chairs? My friend almost got into a fight with someone who would'nt politely scoot over. I assumed Tokyo Five would have some kind of give away as well, makes no sense. Free shots? Who gives three sh**s!

Tokyo Five gave me a free shirt. It's pretty nice too.
I was offered a seat, but I generally prefer to stand.

Those of us there to witness this momentous event all agreed we would have peed a little in we had been in his shoes. But not Bauzen...no, not Bauzen. Such a manly (crazy insane?) show of bravery is surely worthy of 10 poems.
