So, Leonard Garcia went ahead and twisted his nipples before his knockout win over MMA legend Jens "Lil' Evil" Pulver.  I'm all for knockouts.  I have to say, however, that nipple twisting not only has no part in MMA, it's also kinda (really freakin') weird.

Greg Jackson is obviously a genius when it comes to game plans for his fighters.  That was proven with Rashad Evans KTFO of The Iceman, Leonard Garcia's recent knockout, Nate Marquardt destroying Martin Kampmann, "The Dean of Mean's" decision win over Brandon Vera and GSP's dominance.  Those fighters all had something else in common with each other besides fighting under Greg Jackson.  They also each twisted their nipples just before the fight.  Gross?  Indeed.  But one also has to wonder if there is something else to it other than just being weird.

I have to admit that a few more of these occurrances resulting in knockout wins might have me twisting my nipples next time someone looks at me cross-eyed.  And someone needs to get Gina Carano on this trend ASAP.  Seriously.

What a difference 24 hours can make!  A day ago Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson was set to matchup against "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock on CBS Saturday Night Fights in the main event.  A day later Kimbo is TKO'd by Seth Petruzelli in one of the most bizarre series of events in MMA history.

Shamrock was forced to pull out of the scheduled main event against Slice because of a cut he recieved over his eye while rolling on the mat with one of his trainers.  Apparantley the cut was bad enough to warrant six stitches over his eye.  The athletic commission deemed the injury to severe to let Shamrock fight.  EliteXC called on Seth Petruzelli, who was scheduled to fight in an undercard bout, to fight Slice in the nights main event.  Slice took the bout after deliberating with his camp.  Before the night, Kimbo Slice had never even heard of Seth Petruzelli.

Kimbo Slice went right after Petruzelli as soon as the fight began and was immediately knocked down by "Silverback" with a short right hand.  The referee stepped in with just fourteen seconds gone by with Petruzelli the victor.

In the nights other fights, EliteXC welterwieght champion Jake Shields defended his belt against a game opponent in British striker Paul Daley,  Andrei "The Pitbull" Arlovsky defeated  Roy Nelson and Gina Carano reaffirmed her status as "the face of womens MMA" by taking care of Kelly Kobold.
