Isaiah Ordiz this past weekend while sparring with Rousimar Palhares.



Apparently the story is they were sparring and Rousimar got a heel hook, but Ordiz wouldn't tap. Rousimar applied a "little more" pressure on the lock and thats when Ordiz went for some kind of ill advised escape, the result was a compound fracture of the femur near the kneecap.

Motherfucker should have tapped to that man-child.

Apparently the above story is totally false. Looks like the guy in the picture got into a car wreck and someone started a paul harris rumor out of it since the guy is actually a jiu jitsu competitor.

[MMA_scientist]

lol, as if anyone thought it was true.

that pic is pretty gross though, so fuck you for posting that.

I heard they were making a film about Matt Hamill, but I thought it was a documentary . . . guess not. From the New York Times:

Cleaving to the sports-as-salvation playbook with more fastidiousness than creativity, “The Hammer” offers a sincere but wearyingly formulaic portrait of triumph over adversity.

Based on the true story of Matt Hamill (played, for most of the movie, by Russell Harvard), the first deaf wrestler to win a national collegiate championship, the film observes his transition from socially awkward Ohio teenager to adored college jock. Overcoming high school bullies, prom night rejection and a painful introduction to the intellectual demands of college life, Matt releases his frustrations on the wrestling mat. That’s also where he learns that not everything is about him.

Shot in Rochester, using excellent deaf actors in the nonhearing roles, this saggy debut from Oren Kaplan — whose history in episodic television could not be more obvious — connects the feel-good dots with dreary earnestness. For hearing audiences, however, Matt’s most intriguing challenge is never fully elucidated. Placed in mainstream education by his tough-loving grandfather (Raymond J. Barry), the boy learns to lip read and vocalize but is woefully inept at sign language.

This ability to communicate more easily with the hearing creates a fascinating tension between Matt and the deaf students on his college campus that the film could have usefully dramatized. At the very least, we might have understood more fully the motivations of his politically active girlfriend (Shoshannah Stern), whose repeated insistence that Matt stop using his voice seems selfishly cruel.

Though helpfully captioned throughout, “The Hammer” fails to convey the axioms of deaf culture, on which so much of its story depends, thereby missing the opportunity to educate as well as inspire.

Apparently it's rated PG-13 for "Body slams and mental anguish."

[Ludo]

Yeah apparently they cast Rich Franklin, or were thinking about it, for the role of his wrestling coach. Also BOL at PG-13 for Slams and Mental Anguish.

Oh, War Machine. . .

From his Twitter

"Seems my year in jail wasnt enough. Just got sentenced to another year in Vegas for some old bullshit. Nevermind Im rehabilitated. Nevermind"

Never far from trouble former BAMMA fighter "War Machine" had seemed to have changed his ways and rededicated himself to MMA in recent times. It now seems that his past has caught up with him again.

Still, it seems he is remaining positive

"Cant stop me, all you can do is delay the inevitable. War Machine will always be back!"

Anyone here seen any of the Paradise Lost documentaries on the West Memphis 3?

[zY|]

Yeah

[SPX]

Any thoughts?

I'm watching the third right now. Saw the first two back when the WM3 were freed.
