‘The Twelve Days Of Christmas’ is a holiday standard and I’ve always enjoyed it, but TMZ had to go and write all weird about Kate Upton’s boobs, and now that’s all I can think of when they get to the “maids a’milking.” Thanks for trying to ruin Christmas, TMZ.

I had to find new, non-milk-related lyrics to go along with the tune, and lucky for me, a bunch of MMA guys got together to sing about “knees a’flying” and “five guillotines” for Gamma Labs’ ’12 Days Of MMA Christmas.’ It features pretty much everything you’d want in 12 days of MMA Christmas … Chuck Liddell senitively playing piano, Joe Stevenson accompanied by a children’s choir, Urijah Faber kneeing everything in sight. Oh, and the whole thing is kicked off by ring girl extraordinaire Brittney Palmer in some Christmas underpants. You, uh, have probably skipped this entirely.

The video is below. Fun fact: If somebody says “Gamma Labs” more than 10 times, it stops being words. GABBALBLABS UNDER THE TREE!

Chris Weidman asking Santa Claus for a win over Tom Lawlor on Saturday at UFC 139 is funny enough, but Santa not knowing what that is and thinking “MMA” means military is the stuff of legend. That’s the downside of being stuck up at the North Pole negotiating the theories of light-speed travel and using slave labor to make Christmas Holiday toys all year, you don’t get to keep up with what’s happening on TUF.

Maggie Hendricks at Cagewriter provides a thorough analysis:

Santa has no idea what the UFC is, but that’s OK. He’s pretty busy this time of year, so he doesn’t know that Weidman is 6-0. The elves didn’t tell him that Weidman won his last bout in a first-round guillotine, and that he is bringing excellent wrestling skills into the cage against Lawlor.

The opposite of this video would be funny, too. Imagine Cain Velasquez sitting on the Easter Bunny’s lap at his local mall and asking for a victory, only to have the Bunny be all, “whatever, you need to challenge more, I’m a symbol of pagan fertility, not a miracle worker”. And come to think of it, I want all of our folkloric heroes to be knowledgeable about mixed-martial arts. Next time I lose a tooth, I’m putting it under my pillow alongside some Bellator predictions and see if the Tooth Fairy thinks I’m full of sh*t for picking Chandler over Alvarez.

Mixed martial artist Tom Lawlor had this interesting ring entrance at UFC 100 for whoever missed it over the weekend. And…I’m just grateful that this sort of thing was on pay-per-view. Because if it was on free TV, I’d never get anything done. And let the record show that Lawlor needed all of 55 seconds to dispose of CB Dolloway in that event. Kind of ironic that he won using a…choke. via
