CAGE RANTS FOR THE WEEK...



"What's up? Where's my rematch, buddy?" - Jason "Mayhem" Miller, getting a little screen time in the afterglow of Jake Shields's win over Dan Henderson. The Cesar Gracie Fight Team does not take kindly to such indiscretions, and decided to let Miller know how they feel - with kicks and punches. (CBS Telecast)

"This is...this is ridiculous. My god." - CBS broadcaster Mauro Ranallo

"Sometimes these things happen in MMA. A lot of testosterone in the cage. Gentleman! We're on national television! Gentleman! We're on national television!" - CBS play-by-play man Gus Johnson. Gentleman, you can't fight in here! This is the war room!

SAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY WHHHHATTTT......EPIC...

"You know, sometimes the testosterone gets going in the cage, and this is what happens." - Johnson. Rising and firing.

"I really apologize for that. It's out of my character. He got me when my emotions were running high." - Shields, in Mauro Ranallo's way.

"That's OK. Let's not take away with what happened tonight." - Johnson, who understands that sometimes testosterone just gets in the way.

"If I could please just say about what took place...There's a time and place for everything. For 'Mayhem' Miller to do what he did to Jake Shields: disgusting. And I was not a fan of that." - Ranallo. Oh, the irony.

"All right, Mauro Ranallo with his opinion." - Johnson, who must love him some post-fight brawling.





"I came here well prepared and Maia disrespected me. I came here to hurt him and punish him and that is what I did." - UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva, explaining his queer performance at UFC 112. (MMA Torch)

"I'm a black belt, and would never say the things that he said." - Silva (Cage Writer)

"I never said anything too serious, and whether I had said it or not, it would be to promote the fight. That is normal." - Challenger Demian Maia (Gracie Mag)

"He started to call me bad names during the fight. Stuff like, ‘You're a [expletive]ing playboy, come and show me your jiu-jitsu,' things like that." - Maia. Apparently, "playboy" is a very derogatory insult in Brazil, playing on the deep divisions in class.

"I don't feel like I owe anyone an apology right now. Sometimes fights turn out good, sometimes they turn out bad." - Silva, but I spent $50 on it. Wah wah wah.




"[Silva] is a dirtbag anyway, whether he went out there and shook hands and was gracious or he didn't. Who cares? I don't know why sportsmanship needs to be involved, anyways. It's a fight – go do whatever you want." - Chael Sonnen, number one contender to Anderson Silva's UFC middleweight title. (MMA Junkie)

"There's people out there that need [to be] beaten up – he's one of them. And I have a moral obligation to society to beat him up." - Sonnen

"This isn’t like some exciting thing to get to fight him, it’s just truly an annoyance, and I’m looking forward to it being over with just so I can move on and be done with the jerk." - Sonnen (Hardcore Sports Radio)

"I compare Anderson to Britney Spears. She shaved her head to get headlines. Britney Silva went up to 205, retired, etc. Nobody cares." - Sonnen (Sports 1140)

"I've beaten every champion of every company out there. I've lost ten seconds total of my fights combined. You ask me how I'm going to beat him, ask the other 25 guys that got in my way." - Sonnen, one second for every loss.

"I did an autograph signing with Anderson Silva, there was a line around the building to get to my room. You could have heard a rat piss on cotton in his room! Nobody was in there." - Sonnen, nobody except the rats.




JOE ROGAN GETS ME HOT

"The feeling you're going to have when that [expletive] gorilla grabs a hold of you and yanks you up in the air and then smashes you and then gets on top of you. And those big [expletive] lunchbox fists. That's a wrap son. You're done." - UFC broadcaster Joe Rogan, reacting to James Toney calling out UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar. (Cage Writer)

"You're not going to jab and shoulder roll your way away from Brock Lesnar. He's going to [expletive] you. Do whatever he wants to you." - Rogan. This is getting kind of hot.

"He's gonna have you work for him. He's gonna be your master. He gonna put a dog collar on you." - Rogan. I'm getting a little wet.

"If we didn't live in a civilized culture, thousands of year ago everyone that Brock Lesnar fought would be chained up. Would be chained up in his yard. They would work and they would just hope and pray that Brock doesn't get angry and decide to [expletive] you up today." - Rogan. This is one delicious cigarette.
