Super Cool Doodles, Sketches and Illustrations
One of the weirdest championship fights in MMA ever.
Note: This is sort of a cut-copy-paste quickie for some quick fun. The characters are owned by Warner Brothers.

This is the first time Gomi will be fighting in the United States, personally I’m waiting for the debut of Mr. Fancy Pants himself, Shinya Aoki. Fighters often behave in a weird manner. There’s nothing really odd about closing your eyes during the public weigh-in face-off but it makes you wonder. Cheick Kongo turned his back on Frank Mir during the weigh-in face off, only to get knocked down and choked out in the 1st round. I just hope Gomi’s action is not a bad omen waiting to happen.
This fight is going down tonight on Spike!

Quick Study of Takanori Gomi
It’s been a minute since I posted a MMA piece. Here’s 10 – 15 minute drawing . . . not bad. I wanted to quickly sketch a drawing of Carwin after watching his amazing KO victory against Frank Mir at UFC 111. Shane Carwin is still undefeated and he still has yet to see the second round in 12 professional mixed martial arts fights. Next up, the UFC champion Brock Lesnar.
Quick Post UFC 111 Thoughts.
Wow, Dan Hardy! I would be interested in seeing a rematch when Hardy steps up his wrestling and grappling skills. At this point I would love to see GSP face Jake Shields. Yes, GSP is that dude.
Nate Diaz is beginning to put his striking skills together look like his brother Nick Diaz. Cool.
Dan Panosian kills Tank Abott. Peep Machida!!!
Posts will resume shortly but in the interim check out cook work from a good illustrator/ comic book artist Dan Panosian. I discovered his work through the sketchbook Drink and Draw published by Image and his blog Urban Barbarian. His work reminds me to Step Up My Game! Dan (IMHO) is one of the few comic book illustrators with a strong sense of design . . . peep this cover for a comic book called Irredeemable.
Make sure you check out his Deviant Art page and blog.

Some quick sketches on a slow but productive Sunday. A took some liberty to mess with his nose. Brendan Schaub will surely be back. He’s young, athletic and will only get better. He seems like one of those fighters that will improve from his first KO loss.
This is by far the greatest caricature of Roy Nelson but it was fun drawing it. Good Luck Big Country Roy Nelson! UPDATE: Roy Nelson defeats young Brendan Schaub by vicious KO punch.

Jon Koppenhaver legal name is War Machine. He went from exciting prospect in the UFC to porn star in a matter of seconds. His exploits since his release from the UFC has become legendary-MMA-internet-fodder. He apparently he enjoys expressing himself on social networks like Twitter/WarMachineXXX.
Here’s a fun and sloppy drawing of The Last Emperor – Fedor Emelianenko.
The last time he lost a fight was back in 2000. That loss was due to a technicality from an illegal blow. He eventually got the opportunity to avenge that loss in a dramatic TKO victory. He owns victories over 5 FORMER UFC CHAMPIONS. His current record is 31 wins, 1 loss and 1 no contest. That’s the facts. This past Saturday, Fedor defeated Brett Rogers with a broken nose and hand.
While he may be one of the best mixed martial artists, he is far from the best fighter in the world or the “Baddest Man on the Planet.” Although American boxing is doing a horrible job of promoting their product, the MMA media tend to forget about another product from the former Soviet Union, the world-heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko: 53 Wins (47 KOs), 3 Losses.
Side note, did anybody notice how poorly the U.S. has performed in the 2008 Summer Olympics boxing (1 bronze medal), wrestling/greco-roman wrestling (3 medals), judo (1 bronze medal), and Taekwondo (3 medals) categories? Too bad many Americans do not embrace change because more foreign athletes are the foreseeable future in combat sports.
I could not find great photo reference for him but ehhh . . . so what. Cheesy drawings are fun!
While I am sure Marcus Jones has power, his striking looks really awkward. Jones appears to stick his head out, expose his chin and allowed the smaller fighter to close the distance. Tall men should fight like Lennox Lewis, stick the jab to establish your range and create distance. I know MMA is not boxing but I think it is sound fundamental technique. No? Oh well, the 6’6″, 265lbs. self-professed student of the game surprised everybody with a quick arm-bar submission victory off his back. SWEET! One of the best fights of the Ultimate Fighter Season 10 so far. He applied it quickly like an Abu-Dhabi Combat Club bjj professional. I guess he doesn’t suck balls.
I like the black man in this fight. I think he will let his blackness out, and it will reign supreme. Huge upset: Brett Rogers TKO in round one. Too big, too strong, too hungry! -Thomas Denny

Journey-man MMA fighter, Thomas Denny made this prediction for the huge Fedor Emelianenko – Brett Rogers fight this Saturday*. This is one of those awkward statements that may make some people cringe but I find amusing in a wierd way. I don’t think Denny has any racist intent behind his words just like I don’t think Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is racist when he makes an off-color, race-related remark. They both sounds like jerks, but they’re excuse because they fight for living . . . I guess, I don’t know. Allowing his blackness to reign supreme over one of the best MMA fighters ever is greater than UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar’s black body. Some times I really enjoy racially contentious news tidbits.
Matsui! Mariano! Posada! Jeter! CC! Damon! and Brian Cashman!
Obviously how much money the organization spends doesn’t really matter because they failed to win the World Series for a couple of years. A-Rod finally won a World Series and Andy Pettitte put on a great performance. I guess they both paid earned their lucrative salaries despite their soon-to-be forgotten personal indiscretions. It is going to be interesting to hear about the Yankees off-season negotiations.
Does Marcus Jones look remotely proficient on the ground? Off his back? Will the sports media question the integrity of the Yankees win and add an asterisk because of Alex Rodriguez and Andy Pettitte? Or will they conveniently forget it and sweep that story under the rug? And more importantly, how do you let your blackness reign supreme?
* The fight is on CBS, free regular television. You should really watch the entire program, you will not be dissappointed.
