UFC Explores the Meaning of Irony

Wednesday night was UFC: Fight for the Troops which was chock full of great fights, amazing knockouts, and even two broken bones. All of this in the pursuit of assisting the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. The fund is designed to raise money to build the Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good and Want to Learn to do Other Stuff Good Too … Ergh, we mean the National Intrepid Center of Excellence.

The National Intrepid Center of Excellence which will be a facility dedicated to researching, diagnosing, and treating military personnel and veterans suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury. TBI is an abrupt injury to the head causing damage to the brain that can permanently affect a person’s life and abilities. Many things can be the cause of TBI, such as what the fights last night were promoting which was more along the lines of soldiers who had been close to an explosion or had received significant bullet wounds, but also things like car crashes, falls, stokes, and strikes from a blunt object. Such as a fist or leg. So do we not find it a little ironic that we are promoting head and brain injury prevention by having a bunch of guys beat the hell out of each other? Especially when the night ended with one of the most brutal knockout puches I’ve seen in a long time, leaving Yoshiyuki Yoshida out cold for a good minute. Don’t get us wrong we support our troops one hundred percent and any research to prevent any disease is something that should be advertised and helped along, but we here at the Dojo think they could have maybe picked a better medium than MMA while still keeping the UFC involved. Here is just a few ideas:

1. UFC Poker Tournament (Brock Lesnar wins due to his excellent poker face because he only ever looks like this).

Looks like The Iceman has been working on his short game as much as his fighting

2. PGA-UFC Pro Am Golf Tournament to Prevent TBI.

3. Win a date with Andrei Arlovski. (Because what lady in their right mind doesn’t want this)?

4. Donate $100 every time Joe Rogan makes us watch something we defenitly don’t want to see twice by saying “Take a look at the big screen here.” (not that we aren’t more than willing to show you again and again.

Sidenote: After the recent success of the Twilight series of books we recognize that although we used it for comedic effect, most women are in all actuality probably really turned on by that picture of Andrei Arlovski.
