The episode opens with Bruce Leroy talking copious amounts of smack. The sad thing is, I’m not sure if he realizes that he’s talking smack. There’s a complete lack of self awareness that I find rather odd.
Georges St. Pierre brings in Olympic wrestler Gia Sissaouri and boy is he teeny tiny! An obvious choice for GSP to bring in for some wrestling training. Dear Lord. Are we training another crop of wrestling MMA fighters?
Team Koscheck likes to complain. When Kos, a champion whiner, scolds you for being a whiner, that’s bad news. Beth says Kos better not make her like him. I’ll tell you what. Beth could come to me with a dead body and I’d help her cut it up and bury the pieces in Atlantic City. But if she starts to like Josh Koscheck, we’re done.
Fight Announcement: Michael Johnson vs. Aaron Wilkinson. Aaron’s cauliflower ear is horrific. His cauliflower ear has cauliflower ear. He might make Beth change her views on Cauliflower ear, who says, “Somebody needs to drain that shit.”
Michael Johnson completely throws me off because when he talks he sounds like Urijah Faber. This is the second week GSP has told the guy who’s going to be fighting to ground and pound. I’m sensing a theme here…
Koscheck regains his douchiness by parking their cars right next to GSP so he can’t get in. So weak. Josh said he can be a peckerhead. Understatement of the century. However, I was highly impressed with how GSP got himself into the car. He appears to be incredibly flexible.
Wilkinson is with Wolfslair, the gym of our darling Michael Bisping. I’m struck with how incredibly white Wilkinson is. He’s so white, he’s almost blue. Watching Wilkinson practice, I think that perhaps Team GSP did underestimate him, and I curious to see how this fight plays out.
Andy Main shows up on screen. Beth says, “Who the fuck is this kid?” I have no idea. Absolutely no memory of him being on the show.
Mike Tyson arrives with Dana. He goes in to visit with GSP while Michael Johnson’s preparing to fight, and the entire room shits themselves. They all go immediate fanboy. Way to distract the fighter, Tyson. Perhaps Koscheck arranged this…
Fight time! It still makes me giggle when they give the UK guys subtitles. Really? You really can’t understand him? You can kinda see the point in the first round when Johnson realized he might have picked the wrong guy to fight. It’s like a shift in his face where he says, “Huh…how did I get on my back?” They both look pretty good, but towards the end of the round Wilkinson takes him down and completely dominates the rest of the round. Johnson takes the 2nd round, so the fight goes to round 3, where Johnson wins with a RNC 30 seconds in.
Koscheck is very sweet to Wilkinson about his loss. Dammit.

Would you be shocked if I said that War Machine appears to be maturing while in prison? His latest Twitter installment is somewhat insightful. Well, insightful for War Machine at least. It looks like Mr. Machine went in to jail a boy, but may be coming out a man. Our boy’s growing up right before our very eyes.
Who does jail really punish/hurt? Your loved ones, the ones who depend on you. What is a year here really supposed to do? What does 2, 3, 4, 10 years really do? 99% of the guys in here with me have already served 5+ years at least one time. My cellmate is 62, one of the original Aryan Brotherhood members, he even made the cover of Johnny Cash’s original album when he performed at that prison. His last term was 15 years for a murder. That was when he was like 20 and he’s never been out of jail for longer than 2 consecutive years since then. He gets released in a week. Now society is stuck with a 62 year old man who has never had a job in his life. He’s finally ready to go “straight” but what are his odds, really?
Anyway, I’m getting off track, back to my year here. I’m fine, just really bored. I’m young and healthy, I can bounce back. What is killing me is the strain on my loved ones. What did they do wrong other than love a flawed man? My wife is forced to struggle in a new country where she only has my friends. She can’t work legally yet so money is very tight. My best friends are stuck taking care of all of my mess. I love them dearly for it, but it shouldn’t be their burden. Then my best buddies also have to plan a gym opening… one soldier short. It makes me feel like a fucking dirtbag! I want to spend the countless hours cleaning, building, organizing. I don’t want to get out of jail and walk into an up and running business as an equal partner. Fuck! One day I have to find a VERY special way to re-pay them.
Also, I owe so much to my wife for putting her through all this B.S. Even my grandfather is worrying like crazy about this. I don’t want his last years spent worrying about my bullshit. I can take ANYTHING that could possibly be dished out to me… but I HATE feeling this helpless, gross feeling in my stomach. Knowing that my loved ones are going through this. Sometimes I wish there was no one who cared… no one to let down. It’d be so much easier. But maybe the same network of support that causes me pain is what will ultimately end up saving me… Without them I’d never change – shit, I really honestly never thought anything was wrong with me. But I am obviously incorrect. If nothing was wrong with me then I wouldn’t be causing pain to my loved ones, but I am. No matter how lame I think certain laws are I NEED to abide by them… if not for my sake then for the sake of those who depend on me. I would never intentionally hurt my loved ones in any other way, so why this way!? It’s unacceptable.
Maybe this “network of support” that gets hurt so badly when someone is in custody, is what makes the difference between those who go to jail once and learn their lesson and those who never learn…? To Zsanett, “The Circle” and their families, Papa, Matt T., the Bazans, Undisputed, K.R., T-Rex, @JRGomez, and my loyal fans, my future is for YOU.

In today’s installment of Deep Thoughts, Mr. Machine tackles the hard hitting topics. He talks to us about depression, the hassles of buying coffee at the commissary, snitches, jerking off and selling out. Hold on to your seats people. This is some life changing stuff.
Kinda shitty week for me. Guess I’m depressed or something because I didn’t workout at all. Been pretty much sleeping all day, and staying up all night long. And when I stay up, I don’t do shit. Just lay there with my mind going 200 MPH thinking about thing after thing after thing. I really need to get back on some type of decent routine. Hopefully next week is better. Also, I’m starting to get annoyed by a lot of shit…
People here are “needy” as fuck and if you give them an inch, they push for a mile! Someone is always asking “Hey man do you have any phone time?” and it’s always followed up with some huge desperate sob story and empty promises of getting paid back some how blah, blah. May not seem like much but they charge us 25¢ a minute for calls here and trust me, when I say, that shit ADDS UP QUICK! Then you have the coffee fiends, HOLY SHIT! You buy a bag of coffee in here and it’s as if you have a kilo of crack! Multiple people 1 or 2 times a day EACH. “Hey brotha can I bum a shot off ya? Or even half a shot?” A bag that should last me prolly 2 months, because I seldom drink it, will prolly empty here in a week. Needless to say I won’t find out cuz on day 3 I gave the bag to Valencia next door to save myself the headaches. NEVER will I buy that shit again!
I dunno I guess it bothers me because I’m someone that has a very hard time asking people for anything. I HATE asking for stuff! Even if I really NEED it and my friend or family has plenty of it, I’d rather suffer than ask… lol. Fuck and I’m sick of being around STRANGERS! In my normal life, I’m very private. I’m only around people at my gym and then my girl and a handful of best friends. I don’t get along with most people if I have to be around them more than an hour at a time… how I have to LIVE with them… ugh. I’m especially sick of having a cell mate. I’m sick of smelling someone elses shit, sick of smelling farts, sick of hearing burps, sick of hearing/smelling anything.
If I didn’t have such great things to look forward to upon getting released, I’d easily lose it here. It’s a recipe for disaster and it’s no wonder to me why people come here for a year and end up doing LIFE… lol. Seriously though, for someone who legitimately has nothing… nothing to give them a reason to live, a reason to behave… It’s rather impossible to stay out of trouble here for those people. Anyway, enough of my complaining, trying to think of a story to tell you from this week…
There was this one black guy a few days ago. He made a very STUPID mistake. America’s Most Wanted was on TV and they mentioned somethin’ about a $50,000 reward for info on a guy. The dumbass says, “Easy money!” All the other blacks at his table looked at him like “Huh!?” He said, “Ya man, shitttt… one time my friend and I saw a reward for some dude in our neighborhood and we turned him in and got 5 g’s! That was the easiest money I ever made!” And uh, in a place where almost everyone is here because someone snitched, it’s no wonder that he was forced into his cell, lumped up, and sent packing to the PC, “protective custody” module… lol.
What else… sexual withdrawals anyone? Last time I went this long without some action was in the TUF house… I can’t imagine a year of this, FUCK!! I think some days I jerk it 3+ times! HAHA! I’d do anything for a warm apple pie or something… lol… Shit, in a few more months I’ll settle for a cold bologna sandwich!! LMAO!
One good thing about this place is that it makes me appreciate my wife more and more each day. She’s more than I could ever wish for, I feel very lucky to have her. It also makes me appreciate my friends and fans. You guys are being so supportive and I love all of your e-mails and generous gifts… I hope all of you know that I’ll never “sell out” or become one of those fighters that become “too cool.” I’ll always keep it real and stand up for what I think is right, no matter what! When I get released from here and start fighting again, I’m gonna continue doing what I started a few fights back… I’m gonna bring one fan in my corner/or at least backstage with me every fight. We fighters are spoiled by the experience but I remember how neat it was when I was brand new and backstage or in the corners with my old Lions Den teammates… I wanna share that feeling.
