There can be no doubt that Anderson Silva is the greatest Mixed Martial Arts fighter of all time. He may very well be the greatest fighter that combat sports has ever seen. At Ufc 153 Anderson Silva was simply breathtaking. The ease with which he dispatched of Stephan Bonnar was truly remarkable. Let’s not forget that Bonnar was the larger fighter and had gone the distance with elite level fighters such as Rashad Evans and Jon Jones. In fact Bonnar had never been stopped in his entire career from either a submission or due to strikes; Anderson Silva destroyed him in the first round.

What is even more impressive is that for most of the first round it appeared as if he wasn’t even trying. Most agreed that Bonnar’s best chance of success was to get Anderson against the cage and use his superior size to rough him up.

After Jose Also and Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson both pulled out of Ufc 153, another card looked in serious danger of being scrapped. However in stepped the middleweight champion Anderson Silva (30-4-0) who will be moving up a weight class to face ‘The American Psycho’ Stephan Bonnar (17-7-0) in the new main event. After the debacle of Ufc 151 it is refreshing to see a champion stepping in at late notice to save a card and to have the greatest fighter ever step in to do it is even better.

This fight is sure to deliver and if it is anything like Silva’s last bout at light heavyweight then fans are in for a magnificent spectacle of martial arts. For Bonnar this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to test himself against the greatest fighter in Ufc history. He is expected to get annihilated by the vastly superior Silva...

The Guardian has a piece on the new documentary being made about Chris Crocker, and how it seeks to show that in the modern age outcasts can have intimate relationships with thousands without contact. What drew me to the article was Jake Shears, who said his "husbro" was making the film.

The Help won the weekend box office with $20.5 million, followed by Planet of the Apes in second. A distant third was the best a new film could muster, with Spy Kids 4 raking in $12 million, followed by Conan the Barbarian in fourth at $10 million, then Fright Night at a sad $8.3 million. Maybe it's time for an original idea, Hollywood?

Towleroad has a fantastic picture of Gwen Stefani's son Zuma wearing a Captain America costume while having his toenails painted. Stefani's eldest, Kingston, is quite the little fashion plate himself, accessorizing without regard to gender norms.

Did Porky Pig finally...

Review By Kyle Anderson

Over the course of the last decade (and especially in the past four years or so), the Ultimate Fighting Championship has gone from an underground phenomenon to a truly mainstream sport that is covered by Espn and takes up quite a bit of bandwidth on the Internet. Though they had experimented with games in the past, "Ufc Undisputed 2009" represented their true entry into the interactive world. While it was a success, it left a lot of hardcores wanting more of mixed martial arts' subtleties. Hence the hardcore-heavy "Ufc Undisputed 2010," perhaps the most realistic fighting game every created.

The Basics

"Ufc Undisputed 2010" puts you in control of 100 fighters on the Ufc roster, from crossover stars like Brock Lesnar and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson to under-the-radar bangers like Junior Dos Santos, Chael Sonnen and Dustin Hazelett. You can play exhibitions, set up tournaments, design whole fight cards and compete for championships.

The first official look at The Expendables has hit the net. Running at over three minutes, the preview shows a plethora of action and a handful of comedy mixed in with the gore and violence. The upcoming 2010 action film, written and directed by Sylvester Stallone pays tribute to the blockbuster action films during the 1980s and early '90s. The plot follows a team of the world's most dangerous and highly-trained mercenaries who go on a mission to South America to overthrow and assassinate a powerful, evil dictator and his army, who have been causing devastation, chaos and torture for the last twenty years. Producer Avi Lerner has reported that the film will be cut down to two versions, a PG-13-rating edit and an R-rated version, both of which will be screen tested to see which one will be officially released. However what's really attracting attention is its all star cast listed below.

In May there was speculation that Bruce Willis would be joining the cast of action heroes in Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables. The movie’s PR representative blogged during the production, “It looks like we have a Church and man is it great casting” referring to the character Willis will play. The deal was still coming together, but “Church” is to appear in a short scene with Sly and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Bruce Willis himself confirmed his involvement to MTV. “Not yet, I haven’t united with them,” he said. “I’m waiting for a call from Sly about when we’re going to try and make that happen.” Finally, the Planet Hollywood reunion we’ve all been waiting for!

The movie is loaded with action stars including the aforementioned trio, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Ufc fighter Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and Terry Crews.

The cast list on Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables is becoming a ridiculous list of B-list film stars as Brittany Murphy and David Zayas are the latest to join the cast not to mention the casting of mixed martial arts stars Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and his twin brother Antonio Rogerio Nogueira as announced by Moviehole the other day. The film was written, will be directed and stars Stallone along with Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren and Randy Couture and follows a team of mercenaries who head to South America on a mission to overthrow a dictator. There's no word on what roles the Nogueira brothers were offered, but The Hollywood Reporter says Murphy will play Mickey Rourke's girlfriend, a singer. The part calls for her to perform a musical number. Zayas will play the dictator. If you are wondering if Murphy can pull off the singing...

The movie "The Expendables" is becoming filled with more and more action packed stars ever week. Sylvester Stallone has now added a couple of mixed martial artists into the movie, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, who are twin brothers, and better known in the Mma world as The Nogueira Brothers.Sly has also put a lot of interest into the undefeated Lyoto "Dragon" Machida, who is known for his very awkward style of fighting (Karate) in the Ufc. Lyoto is the read deal, and could probably wipe out the entire cast by himself.This movie is going to have so many big names in it, and filled with so much action, that there is absolutely no way this will not be a hit. You saw it here first, Yes, I'm calling this one!Do you think it will succeed?...
