Although I never thought it would happen due to her husband/manager and her contract with Pancrase, but Rin Nakai has signed with the UFC and will fight Meisha Tate on at UFC card in Japan. Rin seems too short for the women’s 135lb division in the UFC and would benefit from training with more professional MMA fighters with high level UFC experience but I wish her luck…

So after telling this tale to Dave prior to the last UFC PPV and confirming just how amazing this set of accomplishments was, it was requested that I type it up for the benefit of those who have less time to waste online looking up football quotations…

This wasn’t perhaps the best weekend for MMA, but congrats to Frankie Edger who I picked in the upset, too bad Silva left everyone with a bad taste in their mouths. Rin Nakai isn’t perhaps taking the MMA world by storm, but her physique has not gone unnoticed…

No not the Olympic Gold Medal Men’s Hockey Game, today my sister and mother have tickets to three events in which medals will be awarded. They are at the Bronze Medal Men’s Curling match, then they will be at the Gold Medal Men’s Curling match, then finally we are all going to the Bronze Medal Men’s Hockey Game…

The Opening Ceremonies had not even began when the naysayers had something else to crow about. I said all yesterday I hope they don’t. Complaints about traffic, costs, weather, snow, sponsorship, begin to look more trivial compared to someone’s life. Maybe people will realize how good life really is in Vancouver and that people are trying to make it better, constructively or maybe they’ll keep chanting “K-K-Kanada, Shame on you for living in K-K-Kanada”…
