Here are the Greek and Serbian national basketball teams getting into a scuffle in a friendly match. I seriously don’t understand how such athletic individuals can be so bad at fighting. If you’re gonna be ejected, you might as well do it right, I say. There’s some hammer fists, crappy boxing, and a chair toss involved. Enjoy!

26 year-old MMA fighter Jarrod Wyatt (1-0-0 under Jared Wyatt) murdered his training partner Adam Powell, cut his heart out and cooked it while under the influence of mushrooms. Cops found him naked and covered in Adam’s blood.

From New York Daily News:

Del Norte County Police Sgt. Elwood Lee, who responded to the incident early March 21, said that Wyatt told him at the scene that he saw the devil in Powell’s face and that “‘Satan was in that dude.’” He allegedly cut an 18-inch hole in Powell’s chest, removed his heart, cut his tongue off and removed a majority of Powell’s face.

Here’s Wyatt’s solitary MMA fight:

This was back in March and Wyatt is trying to fight the charges saying that it was the shrooms that made him do it. I’m inclined to say that there might have been an existing level of craziness/stupidity. This horrific incident is unfortunate on so many levels. The guy was clearly unstable to begin with but his actions put both two very misunderstood topics in a bad light. MMA and psychedelic drug use aren’t exactly very popular with the mainstream, but can be profoundly positive experiences for a lot of people who understand them well. If Wyatt’s defense is successful, it sets precedence for other crimes to be hidden under a veil that pushes blame onto the substance rather than the abuser.

I’m interested to see what Joe Rogan has to say about this.

[edit]
The Times Standard has more gruesome detail on the story and also reports that Wyatt will indeed be charged with murder along with aggravated mayhem and torture.

A scuffle breaks out in the streets of NYC in front of the Letterman studio. Nice takedown by the taxi driver! Somebody’s been watching a little youeffesee.

Just because their wearing women’s clothing doesn’t mean they can’t kick your ass. That’s the moral of the story for UK’s Dean Gardener and Jason Fender after they attacked two transvestites one night only to find out their targets were trained mixed martial artists. CCTV footage captures the incident. The fun starts at about 0:50.

Thanks Mai!

This is the most awesome thing I’ve seen in some time now. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen in a fight between a tarantula a scorpion, this is for you. I haven’t been able to stop playing these videos for about an hour now. Looks like they have some rare and aggressive insects fighting one another.

They have a King Baboon tarantula in there, and I can tell you from experience that those things are freakishly aggressive. They also feature a Praying Mantis, wasps, centipedes, and an assortment of scorpions for your viewing pleasure.
