UFC has become predictable and Joe Rogan still sucks

Despite my passionate and well-documented hatred for Joe Rogan, (CLICK HERE if you are not familiar) like most of America I was unable to avoid watching the Randy Couture VS. Brock Lesnar fight on Saturday night.

Now granted, I was way too drunk for my own, or anyone elses for that matter's safety, but i chose to make the journey over to the homie's house to watch this fight, in hopes that:

A) Joe Rogan had contracted West Nile Virus and was dying a slow painful death on fight night so i would be able to watch the fight without hearing his slobbery drunk/coked the fuck out annoying ass voice...

and B) The fight wouldnt be another Kimbo sham and the better/more experienced fighter would win the fight.

Complete and utter disappoint struck me when neither of the above stated scenarios played out, add to that that i had been drinking hard for about 6 hours straight and maybe now you can guess why my chick slapped me...

Moving on, everyone i know thought that Couture was gonna mop up big Brock and that was gonna be that and on paper, thats about how it should have went.

Can we please get this shit straight right now, Brock Lesnar walks around every day of the year (except for weigh-ins) at easily 285+, he had to cut something like 30 pounds to make weight for this fight and looks like this:

Hes matched up against the more experienced fighter in Randy Couture:

Randy is givin up close to 60 pounds, 6-8 inches, and 14 years in age, I think it was safe to say that experience would not trump size, ability, and youth in this fight.

So after Randy woke up from the slumber that he was put into in the second round, did anyone else notice that the ref let Brock pummel Randy's head an inordinate amount of time longer than anyone else has ever been beat on? if you didnt here's the full fight in its entirety:

Now to the point of the title, the predictabilty of the UFC. Brock Lesnar has had what, 4 professional UFC fights and is now the heavyweight champion?? Isnt that just about the exact same thing that happened when he came into the WWE?? He's this huge intimidating overly-dominant specimen that MUST be the face of the WWE/UFC... I can think of like 4 other heavyweights off the top of my head (and im not even a fan of UFC) that were more deserving of a title shot... And dont, for one second, think that Dana White didn't set this fight up as a means to embarass Randy Couture. Randy is 45 and past his prime, it was time for the belt to change hands so they put him up against a guy that would either A) pummel his ass (see: thats what happened) or B) make him (Randy Couture) look like the baddest man on the planet when he beat him and allow for Randy to retire and give up the belt either way...

It sucks for Randy that it was the latter scenario because him, Ken Shamrock, and Chuck Liddel built the UFC and now they are all has-been's that shouldnt, but probably will, fight again.

Oh yeah, Joe Rogan, don't think i didnt notice that you've been up for the last 3 days on a coke binge... Vegas is your town homie, and once again you proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are indeed the biggest fuckin tool on the planet.

First Time Here?

If this is your first time stopping by NickelPlatedBama, I would suggest getting a feel for the blog by going through the archives. There have been too many classic posts to count. If you disagree with an opinion here on the site, make it public. The writer of this blog suffers from a rare condition that allows him to feel absolutely zero remorse when attacking a person's character or, in most cases, lack there of. Please feel free to enjoy, hate, participate, tell a friend to tell 2 friends, but always, ALWAYS stop back here again tomorrow, as you never know what this looney bastard might say next...

Directly below this box you will find an interview with Oliver Wrist by Oliver Wrist that should serve as an FAQ. Anything else you want to know, Oliver will literally answer any and all questions you may have, so don't be shy, shoot an email to Oliver Wrist at: nickelplatedbamadotcom@gmail.com

Nickel Plated Bama: Who? What? When? Where? Why? and How?

Who writes NickelPlatedBama?

Oliver Wrist writes, edits, designs, takes photos, and publishes NickelPlatedBama personally Monday-Friday. Oliver Wrist is an alter ego that I created as a means of getting things off of my chest. Ollie is irrational and flagrant. Once boos are introduced, the hillarity ensues. Rather than feel bad, Oliver chooses to embrace his lunacy and use his shamelessness for a greater good. Oliver's travels and opinions are documented on an almost daily basis. I say almost daily because I don't work on weekends.

What is NickelPlatedBama? What is A Nickel Plated Bama?

Nickelplatedbama is a face-melting social commentary blog written from the perspective of a self absorbed asshole with no shame or morals to speak of. If you're into hip hop music, silky smooth breezys, absurdly opinionated witty banter and reading the rants of an anti-social, overly confident, self absorbed "writer" (for lack of a better word) please continue. NickelPlatedBama is a source for venting and bashing, hating and thrashing, shitting and blasting on everything from bad food to bad music and everything in between. I don't hate everything however. NickelPlatedBama and more importantly Oliver Wrist praise iconic figures such as the ever elusive white girl thickness, mid-'90's hip hop, fashion, graffiti, art, ice cold behavior, celebreality t.v., Chicago Cubs baseball, San Diego Chargers football, College Basketball, Early '90's WWF wrestling, laughing at other peoples misfortunes, and generally acting like a complete type-a sociopath.

Nickel Plated Bama is extra gutter street slang for a nickel (the precious metal) plated hand cannon. You know, a burner, a strap, a gat, a tre pound, a whistle, or for the uninitiated a gun.

When did NickelPlatedBama get started?

Oliver Wrist has been the other half of my split personality for years. It originally started as my DJ'ing name. My career as a DJ lasted only about as long as it took me to write this BIO. As it turns out, I am an awful DJ. Not because I play bad records, but because I butcher the scratches. My brother, Young Smalls, a.k.a. DJ Fuzzy Badfeet, has taken over the reigns and is now my own personal DJ. Although Smalls refuses to accept the things I have taught him since birth as doctrine, he still gets the Oliver Wrist stamp of approval as a purveyor of all things mixed well. He uses my turntables, my mixer, and my records to do his thug-thizzle, but he is a much better DJ than I could ever be, so I just give him enough shit to remain enthusiastic. Being that my foray into the DJ world went south, I decided to use writing as a tool to express myself creatively. Thus far it has proven somewhat successful. How do I know? Well, you're reading this aren't you?

Where did you come up with NickelPlatedBama?

I have spent so much of my valuable time force-feeding the readers of this blog my personal musical preferences (Read: mid-'90's new york hip hop, ign'ant pimp shit, '90's bay area movement, etc.) and blasting all these idiots that set themselves up for utter failure everytime they open their mouth, or press record on the video camera over the last few months, that I forgot to ever place the credit where the credit was due. Nickel Plated Bama is a reference to a line in a song from the 808 King himself (No not you Kanye). I'm talking about The RZA. a.k.a. Bobby Digital. a.k.a. Bobby Boulders. a.k.a. The Abbot. a.k.a. The head of the Wu-Tang dynasty. When I came up with the idea to start writing a blog, I wanted to name it something that most people wouldn't understand right out of the gate, creating a buzz as a result of the inherent curiousity of the average internet lurker. The result was a line from a Bobby Digital album where RZA says "my head is a like a Nickel Plated Bamma". I guess I should just go ahead and spell it out for you. Instead of using an obvious title such as "The Smoking Gun" (besides, it was already taken) for a blog name, I decided to get creative. So, with this blog title, I pay homage to one of my favorite, not only rappers, but creator of things, and still stay sharper than a sword with the usage of metaphor in describing the gun (my keyboard) i use to roast those i deem indesirable.

See above question titled "What is a Nickel Plated Bama".

Why?

Why not is a better question. I hate alot of shit. I want people to know that I hate aforementioned "shit". This was covered in the above section titled "Who writes Nickel Plated Bama".

How do you pronounce the "BAMA"?

It recently came to my attention while I was in the streets passing out stickers and shamelessly promoting this blog that alot of people were mispronouncing the "BAMA". I will make it very easy for you all.

Think Alabama. Don't think Obama. Are we clear now? I really hope so.

Disclaimer:

While most opinions on this site are based in fact, they are merely that, opinions. If you take this shit seriously OR anything that Oliver Wrist has to say personally, than it was definitely directed at you. If you are easily offended, read on, YOU are the target audience. And ladies, Oliver Wrist is the Asshole your mother warned you about. Oliver Wrist is extremely self absorbed and could not care less if your feelings get hurt. If you disagree with anything Oliver Wrist has to say, please make it public, so that Oliver Wrist may be able to roast you publicly.

Sincerely,

The Management
