I mean that in a positive way, believe it or not.

Cage Potato sent over this clip of Bellator ring girl Jade Bryce doing her best impressions of memorable MMA fighters, faces and fans, and now it’s my duty to pass it along to you. She covers the Rashad Evans’s knockout face, the “Just Bleed” Guy, the drunk dancing mom and the “rising douchebag,” does her best to pull off the robot split and brings in a friend to emulate Don Frye and James Thompson’s violent eskimo kissing. It’s fun, and it’s Friday, so this is the perfect thing for you to spend a minute or two watching.

Video is after the jump.

Sometimes I think back to when I was in college, and how I had to hide my copies of Maxim, FHM and Stuff when they arrived in the mail each month, because otherwise my bros and friends would steal them and I’d never get to read the hilarious jokes, check out the latest witty t-shirts or appreciate the bikini-clad women who had already appeared naked in Playboy but felt like reaching a slightly-less-perverted demographic. Man, those were much simpler times.

Now, I like to think that I’ve evolved a little more and am what my peers at the wine bars refer to as progressive. Those subscriptions to Maxim and FHM have been replaced by a growing collection of books that I often stare at and think, “I really should read one of those”, and the witty t-shirts have been replaced by plain t-shirts.

But it’s still kind of nice to know that even when I think that I’ve matured and have become a reasonable, intelligent adult, that can all be shot to sh*t by one magazine cover featuring Brittney Palmer and Arianny Celeste. You can take the bro out of the college, but never the college out of the bro.

Hey, you guys want to know a secret? I don’t think that Georges St-Pierre and Nick Diaz like each other very much. In fact, I can’t remember the last time that I’ve been so excited for a UFC Pay-Per-View that features two guys who hate each other this much. I mean, Bigfoot Silva and Alistair Overeem didn’t care for each other, but GSP and Diaz just f*cking hate each other. Of course, we just have to keep our fingers crossed that this kind of pure, intense, seething hatred translates into an amazing fight that we’ll remember for years to come.

That said, I’m going to do something a little out-of-character for UFC 158 – live tomorrow night at 10 PM ET in Montreal – and I’m going to make a prediction for the main event. I predict that Diaz wins. I know, I’m a huge GSP fan, but Diaz has pushed this to a point where it’s all or nothing for him. I mean, hell, he just accused St-Pierre of using steroids! So unless Diaz is in this to not only win, but win convincingly, his whole career is on the line. Because if he loses, it’s going to be a long, long time before Dana White, or anyone for that matter, ever takes him seriously again. So yeah, it’s a far-fetched reason, but my pick is Diaz.

Meanwhile, I might be more excited about the Carlos Condit/Johny Hendricks fight, because if Hendricks and GSP win, then giddy up. If you think Diaz hates GSP, then try to imagine how Hendricks feels after getting the shaft for this title fight. That could be two “I f*cking hate your guts” fights in a row for GSP before he finally takes on Anderson Silva in the super fight that White promised us. I’m not saying that’s how it will all unfold, but it would be pretty awesome.

As always, join us for the prelims tomorrow night starting at 8 PM ET on FX, and bring the jokes that only you guys (and gal) bring to these live discussion that Pope Francis called, “The most inspirational Internet discussion of the last 30 years.” Be sure to check out our own Lobster Mobster’s fight primer, and for the fight card, I thought we’d celebrate the return of ring girls Chrissy Blair and Vanessa Hanson for the Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale.

It has been an incredible year for the Turbo Rocket.

The UFC is taking a huge step forward with tomorrow’s UFC 157 PPV event, as it will obviously mark the first time in the company’s history that women will fight. And not only will they fight, but two women are actually headlining this huge PPV, as first-ever UFC Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey will face Liz Carmouche. Naturally, we’re going to get to how momentous of an occasion this is later today with the primer for our live discussion tomorrow night, so in the meantime we’re going to address our other favorite UFC women – Brittney Palmer and Arianny Celeste.

Palmer, the reigning Ring Girl of the Year, and Celeste, the Ring Girl of the Year every year before Palmer, are launching their own product line, which is what that meet and greet thing is about, and because there is a God, it’s a lingerie line. And because God loves me so much, Palmer and Celeste made a video to promote their new lingerie line, and if you’ll excuse me I’ll be in this bathtub full of ice water for the next week or so.

With a hat-tip to our friends at Bob’s comes my new favorite follow-up story.

Remember last week when we shared with you the video of a ring girl In The Style Of Liz Vicious who didn’t realize that “this guy knocked out on the floor with people checking on him” meant the fight was over, so she sauntered around with a big Round 2 sign like a goon?

THE STORY HAS A PREQUEL.

No, we’re not making this up.

Prior to the incident involving walking by a fallen fighter with a round 2 sign, the very same inattentive round card girl came out holding a round 4 sign for a 3 round fight. The fight was over and headed to the judges scorecards, but she was ready for round 4.

Video is below. Keep shining, you crazy, stupid diamond.

Sometime last year I made a joke about people who follow Arianny Celeste on Twitter, and how she couldn’t possibly have anything interesting to say. I was rightfully called out for it. Just because her job is to hold a piece of cardboard and walk 10 feet (like a homeless person, or that guy in a gorilla costume who stands on the side of the road outside of a Party City) doesn’t mean she’s not a person, capable of the same reason and insights as a prize-winning physicist, or whatever. I’ve tried to avoid jumping to similar, ignorant conclusions.

That said, this ring girl is dumber than a bag of f**king dog food. See that big ROUND 2 sign she’s holding? Yeah, to show that to the crowd she had to walk past a knocked out guy sprawled out on the floor with a bunch of people attending to him.

Here’s the recap, from the hilariously expository YouTube description:

An unattentive round card girl walks by an unconscious fighter being tended to by doctors with a sign indicating the start of round two….except, it’s not the start of round two. The fighter is unconscious because he got knocked out and the fight is over. The victorious fighter tells her of her erroneous ways.

Video is below. It’s worth it for her “lol like I’m supposed to know how this work” shrug when she finds out what’s up.
