I could have been an astronaut if I had decided not to be a writer for MiddleEasy. If you think that statement is ridiculous, you’re absolutely right. My passion for moderately humorous writing, combined with a lack of astrophysical interests could be a part of it. My car loan after college also required me to get a job to pay off debt too. I could give you a lot of reasons why I’m not an astronaut, but most of them sound like excuses for my shortcomings. It’s cool, I wear my blackbelt of wasted-potential well. Jamie Varner and I are nothing alike. He knows exactly why he lost his fight against Joe Lauzon: it’s because he wanted to keep fans entertained. He says that if he were to fight a boring fight, he could have easily won in the third round, but that’s just not his style. Props to Jamie for keeping fans informed on what he could have done and subsequently inspiring me to picking up a college-level textbook on astronomy.

I find it funny he thanked Joe for being cool about the fight before hand with the media being respectful not saying bad shit about varner or that he was going to whoop him etc. then varner goes on TV and says this Nick Diaz kind of shit.

his corner cost him the fight, they told him to take lauzon down which is retarded because lauzon is a submission machine

a broken hand is a good reason/excuse for fighting defensively. his corner wanted him to lay on lauzon but you don't just lay on lauzon without getting subbed, his corner is retarded and e should blame them.

he most like would've won if he had kept it standing, throwing some kicks and elbows.

He also could have won if Joe wasnt better than him.

He could have won if he didn't stick his head between Joe's legs.

I want fighters to stop making that "if I fought a boring round, I could have won" excuse.

It's barely any different from saying "I wouldn't have lost if I didn't fight the dude."

Same old shit, I would have won if I hadn't tapped out, I would have won if I didn't try to push the pace, I would have lost if I didn't bitch out in the Cerrone fight."

Varner with the same lame shit.

Bas Rutten's admiration for the acting quality of "The Amazing Spiderman" made me laugh for some reason.

Jamie came to fight. He didn't come to grapple.
