We at JohnnyKageDotCom are some fine Ass MMA journalists, so when we see some fine ass MMA journalism we recognize it, and have to share it with the Fine Ass Readers of JKDC and MMA.TV.
Luke O'Brien, who does some fine Ass Journalism himself, did one of the best write ups I've seen lately, on Monday's free UFC fight night 20. O'Brien is a writer in DC and has written about MMA for the Washington Post Magazine and SI.com. His whole article is pure awesomeness but the description of the magic blood loogie during the Amir/Blackburn fight has kept me awake at night:
"Blackburn hocks a truly amazing blood loogie on the fence. it's massive. it crawls down the fence throughout the second round, slowly descending, hanging like a string with a nut of snot or maybe a tooth at the end. it snakes down the fence. two links of chain. three. then four. the thing won't stop. if the cameramen had any goddamn sense they'd be shooting the hell out of this. shallow depth of field. it's down to five links now. my god, it's going all the way. the fat hacks in front of me are gawking at it as Sadollah continues to land punches from weird angles in front of this monstrosity. does that girl by the cage see it? it's about to fall on her head! she looks like a George mason student. she's got a backpack on. maybe a student reporter. whew. she moves. round three...Amir continues to punish his foe. he almost kayos Blackburn but opts to take him down for some reason. they're banging up against the cage near the booger string. the unholy thing appears to have stopped, fully descended, hardening, tendrils vibrating in milky red splendor as the mat shakes while Sadollah beats out what can only be a unanimous decision victory.
All hail the blood loogie."
I did not even see the blood loogie, but his description is so good, that I cannot get the image out of my head.
All hail Luke O'Brien, contender for contributor of the year at the annual JohnnyKageDotCom Awards later this month on Spik..... I mean JohnnyKageDotCom.
