Things not to do at UFC 192

By


No matter where a fighter is on the card, there are certain things a fighter should not do when they make it to the UFC. Francisco Trevino now 12-2 fought newcomer, Sage Northcutt (6-0) and did all things a fighter should not do at UFC 192.

First, he came in overweight at weigh-in, he was four pounds over and still fought. As it happens, four pounds is better than the 26 pounds Johny Hendricks was several days before the fight.  A bad attempt to cut his weight led to him being hospitalized and his bout with Tyron Woodley getting scratched. But if a fighter still fights, over weight and loses another thing not to do when contesting the stoppage by a very good referee, is push the referee.

Herb Dean probably has the lowest rate of error as a ref, most likely due to the fact he has fought himself so he is aware of what it is like being a fighter and is aware of the risks they take. Trevino pushed dean when he wanted to contest the stoppage, stomping your feet and asking why is one thing, but pushing the ref?.  Good or bad, fighters have the right to express their disagreement, but when you push an official it is probably not good for your career.

In the post fight press conference it was hinted that he may be facing disciplinary action for what happened when the fight was stopped. See the stoppage below:

Better Late Than Never Review: All The Phantasm Movies

By
The Phantasm Series Shows Players Riding Out Their Passions I just recently watched all the Phantasm movies.  I watched the entire franchise in two days after not seeing any of the films since I was a kid. I know things are opening up and the weather is nice, but we're not quite out of the COVID-19 woods yet. Since that is the case I am still re-watching old horror flicks and catching ones I might have missed . The Phantasm series stretches to almost 40 years of horror, beginning in what I feel was the best time for horror films, the 80s. The first one, Phantasm (1979) came out when I was still wet behind the ears, barely a kid. I didn't even set eyes on it until the early 80s. All I could remember about the movie was "The Tall Man,' played by Angus Scrimm in all the films, those flying chrome-plated death spheres, and little dudes in cans.  Along with Scrimm, the film stars Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornberry, and Reggie Bannister. Baldwin plays Mike Pearson, who is the...

Brush Fire and How I Finished My First Novella

By
Brush Fire is the first of many stories that I hope to write. Photo by Patrick Fore on Unsplash Some years ago, in 2015 I attended the NJ Comic Expo . I was covering it for this site, to gain experience and get my feet wet covering events since it was something I knew I wanted to do for my freelance work. Writing is something I never thought I would get into, but I fell into it through my love for martial arts, reading, and film. It's why I made this site, so I can write about the things I love. By looking for things to write about, I found that my love for reading balances out with my love of writing. Usually, I do one, then the other but a lot of the writing I do is inspired by the work I do for combat sports. I don't want to be a one-trick pony. I want to evolve my writing and I'm always looking for ways to get better.  Some of my favorite stories in various mediums come from Stephen King . So, when I went looking for instruction on how he writes, I found his book ...
