Undefeated 2008 U.S. Olympian Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade believes his February 10 main-event fight against former USBA junior middleweight champion Derek “Pooh” Ennis, for the vacant North American Boxing Organization (“NABO”) junior middleweight title, is a continuation of a well designed plan, eventually landing him a world title fight later this year or in early 2013.

Make no mistake about it: The Ultimate Fighting Championship© (UFC©) is the premier mixed martial arts promotion company on the face of the earth. Perhaps you consider them monopolistic. Maybe even bullies. In your opinion, Dana White is probably an aggressive promoter/businessman/asshole. You may have a point, but the fact remains that the UFC means [...]
Mayweather sent Home from Jail as Sentence Postponed While the average Joe might be serving 34-years in prison right now, boxer Floyd Mayweather can count himself lucky that he copped a plea deal for a 90-day sentence.

Filed under: UFCI don’t know if it was the tape-delay or the lack of big names on the card, but UFC 138 hardly felt like a genuine numbered event by the time it hit Spike TV on Saturday night.

When we mentioned earlier that Mark Munoz had perhaps jumped the gun when he called out Anderson Silva in his post-fight interview, we had no idea how much the execs at Spike TV agreed with us. Turns out, most of you probably never even knew this had happened, because despite the amount of time Spike had to compose the event following it’s actual occurrence, Munoz’s call out of “The Spider” was cut off before we even had the time to process how ridiculous it was. Perhaps this is one of the many reasons that Dana White & Co. are no longer putting up with Spike TV’s bullshit.
But where the geniuses behind such programs as Manswers, 1000 Ways to Die, and Blue Mountain State *shudder* failed, ZombieProphet and our buddies over at IronForgesIron succeeded.
In the above video, Munoz states that “I’ve paid my dues in this weight class” and that “I consider [Anderson] a friend, but right now I’d love to get a title shot.” Apparently Munoz believes that if threatening the champ’s wife with sexual harassment and calling him a coward doesn’t work, then maybe a little ass kissing will. And at this point, it’s hard telling what you have to do to get a fight with A. Silva.
So what do you guys think? Is Munoz drinking the wrong Kool-Aid or does he have a point here?
Speaking of Munoz, join us after the jump to see how Leben congratulated “The Filipino Wrecking Machine” on his victory:
