Aleksander Emelianenko is fighting Bob Sapp. It is going to be amazing.

As Cage Potato phrased it, it’s one of the most notorious can-crushers in MMA history against its most notorious can, and the only pertinent question is “will Alexander throw or land a punch before Sapp drops and pretends to be incapacitated.” My cat could knock out Bob Sapp by jumping onto his lap.

To hype the fight, Emelianenko has gone into outer space to punch-murder sand pirates. I mean, that’s what I pieced together by watching this video. I don’t speak Russian, so maybe I’m wrong. Check it out for yourself, and ponder how hilarious Bob Sapp’s return diss is gonna be if the opening blow is “I cannot be held in the chains of space sand pirates.”

So, if this MMA show from Russia is something that is actually happening, I’d say we’re roughly five or maybe six years away from The Running Man becoming an actual TV show. And I, for one, think it’s about time. There are a lot of prisoners out there who deserve a second chance as our jails are wildly overcrowded, so if they can get past Dynamo, Subzero, Buzzsaw and Captain Freedom, then I say they deserve a shot at life outside of captivity.

Of course, they have to live in Canada, but either way I think this show has real staying power.

Today I learned that the 2014 Winter Olympics and Paralympics will take place in Russia, and I may have already known that but this is 2013 so I either packed it away in the POD storage unit in my brain or I deleted it so I could make room for the unofficial Taco Bell Volcano Sauce recipe, because that sh*t’s important. Either way, the 2014 Winter Olympics is something that will happen and people in Russia are already working on big things.

For example, people in Sochi are already busting their asses storing snow so they have enough for next year, and as I wrote that, I asked myself, “Do I go with a joke about Snow the rapper or say that ‘storing snow’ is a Lindsay Lohan cocaine euphemism?” but I didn’t want to deviate from the main point.

The Sochi Olympics mascots are already out doing their promotional thing, and they were met by this young boy earlier in the week. There’s really nothing much else to this other than look at this little Russian bro telling the rest of the world what’s up.

I don’t know what my fascination is with Russia lately, but between dogs that fetch vodka, a billionaire’s wife, statues made of poop, Kate Upton doppelgangers and 23-year old models in bikinis running down the street, I am sold. Looks like we lost the Cold War, folks. Hell, even that fat guy in a Speedo can dance better than the dance instructor that he’s sort of mocking. It’s just a great week for Russians.

Alas, it’s a bad week for UFC fans, as we don’t have any child po… er, I mean mixed martial arts to watch. Sorry, I was channeling my inner Steve Hickey there. That guy loves talking about child pornography. So what shall we do instead? Well, I’m gonna go sit ringside at this Chikara event tomorrow night in Orlando, while you all can watch this stuff…

I’m not much of a gambling man, as I would hate to end up the subject of a 30-for-30-style documentary about incredibly handsome bloggers who blew their entire fortunes by losing money at picking Top Chef winners. I do, however, appreciate a good gentleman’s bet, or in this case a very attractive lady’s bet, in which money is cast aside for personal humiliation.

Unfortunately, I do not know the terms of the bet that resulted in a 23-year old Russian girl named Alina Borodina (above, as identified by Red Hot Russia) running through traffic on a busy street in just her bikini. What I do know is that Alina is a very wonderful person and I would very much like to introduce her to my mother. Also, her name rhymes and that means she might be a Disney princess, in which case she’s ridiculously wealthy.

While I don’t really have any further context to this video, I do have a theory as to why this woman “humiliated” herself by running around in a bikini.
