A few updates on what’s been going on in the MMA Twittersphere.
TWEETS THAT “ROCK”?
“If you’re wearing sunglasses and sitting in coach, you are not a pimp.” –Nate Quarry
“New Bicep Watch! When you want to draw attention to your guns and your Affliction baby-t ain’t doin it” –Nate Quarry
““I can’t promise to win every fight but I do promise to die trying.” Said to Joe Silva after the Creduer fight… “I would rather lose spectacularly than win a boring decision” said after the Starnes fight” –Nate Quarry
“I’m gonna volunteer at the dog shelter and increase my carbon footprint.” –Nate Quarry
“The grass does smell really pretty.” –Nate Quarry
“If you go far enough everything is west.” –Nate Quarry
“I can’t believe that vegan restaurant didn’t have meat! That’s racist!” –Nate Quarry
THEY LIKE THE FREEDOM?
“Family, friends and fans – thx for all of your support – I am out as the WEC ring announcer. Family reason that cldnt be compromised… Woke up feeling like I just broke up with my HS Sweetheart.” –Joe Martinez
“24 hrs as a free agent, 11 new shows booked. Only the strong survive. Fight for yourself when no one else will!” –Joe Martinez, is it time for Buffer?
“Rogan says he wants to see Overeem in the UFC. This is the exact reason a unified belt is needed. champions vs champions.” –Pat Miletich, it’s a good idea, but I don’t think it will ever be executed properly. See: WAMMA.
“@antontabuena If the fighters are 2 get what they truly deserve, there will have to be unified belt fights. Didn’t mention WAMMA… Zuffa holds many of the top fighters, but I think Strikeforce is starting to stack up well… Just have to roll with Strikeforce, Dream, Bellator, etc….. until then. Fighters like the freedom“ –Pat Miletich, responding to me saying that the idea won’t work, especially if Zuffa doesn’t join in.
I BETTER DO THIS MORE OFTEN THEN
“Sorry @UFC I will definitely start to uptweet my game! I have been busy changing out everyone’s propane tanks in the trailer park!!” –Tim Credeur, will tweet more often
“The airport baby. I have been here many many a time. Term D is vegas finest… JFK! NY. What a dif feeli sometimes you dont know what you miss till your there… People look so dif here. Hot black chicks Everywhere!” –Phil Baroni, should fly there more often
“Hate it when Im broke as a joke and have a big fat check that Is worthless until it clears! Hate it even more when it does clear and goes straight to attorney fees! Wtf!? =[“ –War Machine, won his last fight in the first round, but is still broke as a joke. He better fight more often.
TWAINING
“Here in downtown Boston ready to testify in front of the Massachusetts Athletic Commision in regards to MMA… Hopefully my testimony for the Mass state athletic commision helped with regards to the issue of double weigh ins for MMA here.” –Kenny Florian, was in a very important fight outside the Octagon.
