2012 is over 2 weeks old, and it is finally starting to get cold to feel like winter. That makes me look forward to the summer, and the UFC heavyweight title fight of Overeem vs. Dos Santos is another reason why I am already looking forward to the summer.
Even though I am already looking forward to the summer, I do have to admit this winter has not been that bad. This winter has felt more like spring, and that has given me opportunity to go outside at the bus stop in Lynchburg to evangelize the lost.
I did not watch the last primary results of the GOP nomination that was in New Hampshire, and I did not know that it was this week that took place. Besides I already made up my mind 18 months ago on who I was going to vote for, and to me there's nothing new that the GOP nominees have stated since this GOP nominee race began. I am just waiting for the GOP primary to come to Virginia, so I can make my vote to the only GOP candidate that understands liberty.
Watching NFL playoff games bore me as much as watching golf, because when you measure it to the action you get in MMA it just seems that is how boring NFL gets to where its action is compared to golf. There's another sport that I am starting like along with combat sports, and that is hockey. I got to watch some of it during Christmas break, and it was listening to Kevin Smith on Joe Rogan podcast talk about the philosophy of hockey. He was also sharing with me the challenge of chasing puck with a stick on ice skates. The way he promoted it made me want to watch hockey, and I got that opportunity. I enjoyed it, and I am looking forward to watch more of it.
Ever since the winter break was over I have been watching a lot of Alistair Overeem, because I jumped to his band wagon when retired my former favorite heavyweight fighter Brock Lesnar when he destroyed him. I been reading his bio in wikipedia, I been watching highlights of his fights on youtube, and I been watchinng his documentary at his website. I found out he was born the same year as me in 1980, and he started MMA when he was like 17 or 19 years old. Since than he has had over 69 fights in MMA and K1 combined. That's impressive, and he's had a lot of experience that has its success and failures. He's fought guys Badr Hari, Werdum, Rua twice, Liddell, Belfort twice, and he just destroyed Brock Lesnar. In 2010 he became the first MMA fighter to win the K1 heavyweight grand prix, and he also defended his Strikeforce heavyweight champion. He also won the DREAM heavyweight title, and he has gotten 46 wins in his combat sports career. He has not lost an MMA fight since 2007, and since than only 1 of his 11 wins has gone to submission. 15 of his 36 mma wins have come by KO, and 19 of his 36 mma wins have come by submission. You see this guy's record, and you wonder why is he not in the discussion of who is the top 3 p4p of MMA fighters
