The “Integrity” award goes to Mike DeLuca who said, “Skala needs to sit his ass down at his events. No one wants to see a biased official. We all know they want to protect their money makers, but 4.5 million people don’t need to see it. It ruins the integrity of the sport.” Vocnet gets runner up recognition. He said, “Jared Shaw needs to sit back and keep his mouth shut during the fight. When it comes to fights within his own organization, isn't he supposed to be unbiased?” He is. I’ve been to three UFCs and can tell you that members of the press are strictly forbidden from showing any favoritism toward a fighter. They also can’t drink beer in press row…ludicrous!!

The “We Agree on Something” award goes to Kevin Liebertz who said, “The tragedy of the Kimbo-Thompson fight was that it was stopped as a TKO with Thompson still on his feet.” If I live to be a hundred I hope I never see another fight stopped when a guy is still standing and trading blows. That stoppage reeked of corruption although Dan Miragliotta has shown a pattern of stopping fights early. Just three weeks after Kimbo-Thompson, Miragliotta stopped the Fabricio Werdum-Brandon Vera fight at UFC 85 WAY before he should have.

“Best Username” award – Phreakatron. I had to look at it a few times to get it. Priceless.

The “Direct and to the Point” award goes to Shaun who hates my endings. He said, “As quickly and efficiently as you can, lose the "I'm just sayin'" line. It's way overworked at this point and becoming an annoying cliche. You don't need it anymore.” I was wondering what you savvy readers thought of that. Truth is I started it because people seem to use it as a defense. As if by saying it they’re sanitized of any backlash for something they’ve uttered. Shaun’s probably right and I will drop it. My new ending will be, “I’m rubber and you’re glue…”

The “I Need to Vent” award goes to Charles Bessman, Patrick Fox, and Kyle MacDonnell who wrote the longest emails. All had great points, but dudes, get back to work already. Ironically two of them work in NYC, which makes me wonder how this economic recession REALLY got started.

“Shortest email” award-Adam Watson. Three sentences. Mark Stanfa wrote six, but one had four words-Kimbo is a joke.

Several people suggested Jake Shields would get his ass handed to him in the talent-rich UFC welterweight division. Before last weekend I would have said Jake could hold his own there, but his performance against Daley was awful. Canadian Geoff Moses said, “Jake Shields might be good, but his weak 1-2-3 step armbar made it hard to believe that he showcased anything other than purple belt ground work.” I have been a fan of Shields for a while, but that fight showed his standup and GnP need work. The potential is there, but…yeah.
