Fat Johnny Cash ultimate punch

Who is that on Alan Belcher’s shoulder? The Blob? Francis, from “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure?” Wait, I think it’s supposed to be Johnny Cash. Man, I should’ve just put up a big picture of Alan Belcher’s arm and given a t-shirt to whoever guessed “Johnny Cash.”

But we’re going to do better than that. How about a t-shirt? With Leather has teamed up with the fine folks at Lugz to bring you part three of our Stupid, Awesome & Cool Tattoo Trivia Challenge. If you can click through the images and identify the MMA fighters based on their tattoos (and trust me, if you’ve ever seen these tattoos before, you know who they’re on), writer down your answers and send them along to me at infernaldinosaur@gmail.com. This one is a little bit harder, so we’re giving you a full week: get your answers to me by next Wednesday, and maybe you’ll be the winner.

And don’t forget: if you’re wearing Lugz shoes when you go to the tattoo parlor, you will at least leave without anybody drawing skulls on your feet.

Anthony Pettis Does Not Need A Top Turnbuckle

12.17.10 Written by JOSH Z

For those of you (excuse me, those of us) that don’t regularly follow mixed arts, the promotion known as World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) was bought out by the mighty UFC. The last show for WEC was last night, and Anthony Pettis ensured that the promotion went out with a bang with this jump-kick off the cage to Ben Henderson’s face.

Everyone is comparing this to The Matrix, and that’s fine, but really it reminds me more of an Alaskan rat kick game I once saw where dude had to jump off of one foot, kick a rat hanging about 6 feet in the air, and then land on that same foot. It was pretty boss for something that involved a fake rat.

WEC was a league comprised exclusively of middleweights lightweights, so those guys shouldn’t have too difficult a time finding a home in UFC, especially Pettis, who made his last night at his old job count with the closest thing to a WWE-style finishing move that I’ve ever seen in MMA. UFC boss Dana White has said that Pettis will be first in line to fight for that outfit’s lightweight title. Works for me.

JORGENSEN’S KINDA-GAY-LOOKING WIN

03.10.10 Written by JOSH Z

chad_george_tapoutIf you walked into a bedroom and saw this, you might here someone blurt out, “This isn’t what it looks like!” And it’s not. It’s actually Scott Jorgensen choking out Chad George in Ohio last week. In 31 seconds. Jorgensen’s near-insta-tap was just another day at the office for the guy that thinks he’s the best MMA fighter at 135 pounds.

“I think I’m right there up at the top,” Jorgensen said at the evening’s post-event press conference. “I beat (Takeya) Mizugaki. I went out there and finished Chad George quick, decisively. I think I’m right up there.” –MMAJunkie.

We . But thanks to the power of GIF magic….instant homoeroticism! Count this as a tribute to the human rights victory in DC. Or don’t. Things always go wrong when we go political over here. GIF from Fightlinker, via @maggiehendricks.
