i'm watching the k-1 final on tv, and they bring out a martial arts show to fill in some time before the final bout.

for the "finale"of this show, the "master" brings out a baseball bat and is going to chop it in half with his hand while kneeling on the ground. granted, bats are NOT easy to break without significant leverage, but...

the guys whacks it... boink. his hand bounces off. refocus... boink. a tilting unfocused chop... boink.

ok, a few boos, but a lot of the crowd is behind him. refocus.

chop... boink. chop... boink. focus, chop... boink.

i'm laughing my a s s off, but i kind of feel sorry for this guy (although i feel sorrier for this incredibly obese Japanese woman who is currently trying to sing We are the Champions with her terrible accent -- wow, she's really mangling it).

anyway, he finally gets the bat to crack (but not break), and when he tries to just finish it off, he ends up knocking it off the supporting blocks. no broken bat.

i'm thinking his dojo is done for, and he's going to commit harakiri tonight.

as for the k-1, they have really messed it up... several of the entertaining fighters didn't even qualify for the final tournament due to them being paired against each other in the sudden-death qualifying matches. i mean, Sapp MUST be in the finals -- he's such an entertaining wildcard that he should given a free pass.

and the reserve match dude made it to the finals... yuck.

Glaube, the reserve dude, gets knocked out in 50 secs... wtf.

Spoiler (in white)...

No one really watches K-1 here... I don't know about anywhere else in the country, but it just doesn't broadcast in FL very often, unless you're buyin PPV, which I will reserve for my Lily Thai porn, Thank you very much!!!!!! Although it's pretty cool sometimes, UFC is usually better... It's funny to watch that HUGE black guy (sorry I don't know his name, but if you watch K-1 you know who I'm talkin about) just rail on people though...

Pride > K-1 > UFC

Hunt went to Pride, perfected the Atomic Butt Drop on Wanderlei Silva and hasn't fought much, apparently Pride have been messing him about somewhat regarding matchups.
