Nobody wants to end up on the wrong end of someone’s highlight video. It sucks. In fact, there’s a moment – you’re coming round, trying to work out where the hell you are and how you got there, and why some guy is stood over you asking you random questions about who the president is and what state you’re in - and in that moment, you wish you hadn’t woken up at all, because now you have to face the rest of the world and deal with what’s just happened. Which of course you can’t actually remember, but from where you are right now, it ain’t looking good.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://rosisexton.wordpress.com/2010/06/26/aftermath/">Rosi Sexton</a> :(</em>http://theballetofviolence.com/post/739790791http://theballetofviolence.com/post/739790791Sat, 26 Jun 2010 16:15:38 -0700Rosi SextonAftermath<object width="400" height="254"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aGPZR0n5SDU&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aGPZR0n5SDU&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="254" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://littlefists.tumblr.com/post/735479104/this-is-what-im-sayin">littlefists</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>this is what i’m sayin’</p> </blockquote> <p>:( Such a huge Rosi Sexton fan, but holy hell what a Knockout for Frausto!</p>http://theballetofviolence.com/post/739540900http://theballetofviolence.com/post/739540900Sat, 26 Jun 2010 14:39:00 -0700Rosi SextonZoila FraustoBellatorKOKnockoutKnee<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l4i7ehvrrS1qa3xqco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>By Esther Lin</p> <p>Hell of looking forward to this!</p>http://theballetofviolence.com/post/730342332http://theballetofviolence.com/post/730342332Wed, 23 Jun 2010 22:32:40 -0700Cristiane Cyborg SantosEsther Lin<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yXmshl98Tlg&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yXmshl98Tlg&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/>http://theballetofviolence.com/post/719885191http://theballetofviolence.com/post/719885191Sun, 20 Jun 2010 16:35:14 -0700Jose VegaJarrod CardBellatorKOKnockout<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l4bu0jRFgR1qa3xqco1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>By Esther Lin</p>http://theballetofviolence.com/post/719145767http://theballetofviolence.com/post/719145767Sun, 20 Jun 2010 11:57:00 -0700The Dean of MeanKeith JardineMatt HamillUFCEsther Lin<p>The Wanderlei quote and the Liddell-Franklin pic express seemingly contradictory sentiments.
