Well, pat yourselves on the back, people — who would have thought a simple, innocent picture of Chuck Liddell, Matt Hughes, and their dates enjoying a log ride could be turned into something funny? First, the most honorable mentions:
MMA-hole: “You’re right Matt, this is *way* better than fornication!â€
I’m confused: Jens kept telling Matt he didn’t want to ride up front.
reality: According to Cecil Peoples, the kid was the bravest one on the ride.
totaldb: Next week on Extreme Baptism…
jakey: “now son, which character from pirates of the carribean do you think i am?â€
Roach: An up-close photo of Chuck Norris taking a dump.
And now, the winnah…
Ouch! That hurts: To the lifeboats! Women, children, and hasbeens first!
So O!Th, please shoot your and address and preferred format (DVD or Blu-Ray) to feedback@cagepotato.com, and we’ll get that 10,000 BC viddy right out to you. And now the favorite part of my week…tell us who should have won!

2008 is shaping up to be the busiest and most exciting year in MMA’s history — which is a great thing, unless you’re trying to keep your top ten lists current, in which case it’s a total pain in the ass. Though there aren’t many profound changes in the latest update to our Power Rankings page, recent events have caused some fighters to drop due to losses (i.e., Matt Hughes, Sean Sherk, Hayato Sakurai, Masakazu Imanari) some to jump up after big wins (Wanderlei Silva, Thiago Alves, Power Rankings newcomer Gegard Mousasi), and some to secure their already impressive positions (Lyoto Machida, Urijah Faber, Robbie Lawler). Give it a look, and click on each weight class for additional notes and to leave comments. And stay tuned, as Sunday’s DREAM.4 card could produce some changes in the middleweight list, and July 21st’s Affliction event could lead to a massive re-shuffling of the heavyweight deck.

On Friday, we put two Nate Diaz-related t-shirts up for grabs to the readers who could provide the best captions for the above photo involving Randy Couture, Gina Carano, and three of their groupies. And apparently you really want to represent tha’ 209, because you came full force with it. First, our honorable mentions…
Matt Herpes: This is exactly why Kim bought that testicle-scale.
F.A.S.: Xtreme Ho-ture
Damien: Looks like Fedor isn’t the only heavyweight that Randy wants to get his hands on.
boobah: Gina later realized that Applebee’s was not the best choice for cutting weight.
MMA-hole: “Yeah, that’s right…I’m Bruce Willis…â€
TheFeniX: Shown here: People who make a living destroying others for monetary gain, every 6 months or so. Also pictured: Randy Couture and Gina Carano.
bmwtech: Just goes to show you that every group of girls has a DBUF. Designated bald ugly friend.
And now, the shirt-winners…

If you don’t feel like paying the UFC’s exorbitant pay-per-view prices for a sub-par event, or if you just want an outlet to throw in your two cents as you’re watching it, come back here starting at 3 p.m. ET / noon PT for undercard results, round-by-round updates from the main card, and the chilling conclusion of my pick-off bet with Ryan Harkness of Fightlinker, in which the loser has to film themselves drinking ipecac. Cheerio, bitches!

As many of you were disappointed to learn, my UFC 84 ipecac pick-off against Fightlinker’s Ryan Harkness ended in a 19-19 draw; with no contingency plan in place in case of a tie, neither of us were required to film ourselves violently projectile vomiting. That’s the bad news. The good news is that last night Ryan and I decided on the terms of the rematch. They are as follows:
— We will predict the entire card of UFC 85, which goes down just 11 days from now on June 7th.
— The three-point scoring system will be the same as before, with the person who scores lowest having to film themselves drinking ipecac. (I’m assuming you can get this stuff at the nearest Walgreen’s, because I actually don’t have any in my medicine cabinet.) Look for my new picks to go up next Wednesday, give or take.
— In the event of a tie, a tiebreaker will be determined via who picked the most “perfect” matches (fighter/round/method). If that’s also a tie, we’ll judge it by which of us called the most winning fighters. If that’s also a tie, then the ipecac bet is officially cursed and we will both drink ipecac to entertain you vultures.
Sound good? I’d also like to announce that CagePotato reader “ehummel” was the winner of the BetUS $100 free play credit contest, with a highly impressive score of 21. Hit us up at feedback@cagepotato.com, and we’ll let you know how to claim your credit.

Goldstein here. Ryan Harkness and I were guests on BetUS Radio today to talk shit to each other for a half-hour in honor of our UFC 84 ipecac pick-off. Go here to listen, and say a little prayer for my gastrointestinal tract.

Hi Ben,
It may be funny when other people vomit, NOT. Don’t you pull any stunts like even suggesting you would take Ipecac. I hope you know that stuff has side effects.
YOUR MOTHER.
Mommmm, you’re embarrassing me!

Good goddamn work, people: With over 150 entries, this week’s caption contest was our most popular ever, and so many of them were LOLworthy. I must say I was surprised by how many of you referenced Brad Pitt and Angelina Joile — I’m not judging, I was just a little taken aback, that’s all. Thanks again to Triumph United for making this possible. Now onto the honorable mentions…
MMA-hole: It was at that point that Fedor began to wonder…were his wife and Sakuraba more than just “friends�
Brad: Fedor and Aleks stop by the Affliction sweat shop to thank the tailors.
Toner Breath: SPUTNIPS!! [Ed. note: I racked my brain trying to think of a good one-word pun for this picture. Toner Breath’s is kind of horrible, but I give him mad props for trying. And judging from the exclamation points, he was also pretty psyched that he thought of it.]
Mike: It’s cheaper than a graphing calculator.
Erick: “Phuk An’ Run is the little-known Chinese martial art of having a kid and making your opponent raise them.”
Kimbo’s Lice: “…The stars signify that I’ll never be brought to my knees. This spiderweb on my elbow signifies that I’ve committed murder in service to the brotherhood of thieves. The grim reaper and baby on my back…you know what, I probably shouldn’t be telling you kids all this.â€
And the winners are…

Here’s the thing about those Triumph United comment contests we’ve been running: Finding/deciding on the finalists was a pain in the ass, and then all you people would do is bitch about our lame sense of humor. So we’re going to switch it up this week with a good old-fashioned caption contest. The two readers who submit the funniest captions to the above picture by 4 p.m. ET on Friday will each get a Triumph United t-shirt of their choice. And seriously? Only those who enter will be allowed to complain later. You’re on my last good nerve right now…
