Our first MMA with Yac & J Show taping and EliteXC goes under

We had our first taping with our new network and new studio yesterday. The MMA with Yac & J Show is back!!! Unfortunately, we are no longer with thestream.tv and parted ways. But doesn’t mean that I still don’t have love for Brian Gramo, because he is awesome.

Anyway, I was super happy that our new studio is right around the corner from Bahay Kubo, the Filipino restaurant that Nolan introduced me to and I’ve been going there religiously all week. So that was a plus. Our new studio was so high tech I found myself practicing how to read from a prompter lol.

Then next thing you know here comes Conor Heun walking in the studio. YAY! I was so excited to see Conor. I haven’t heard from him since I text him Congrats on his last fight with EliteXC. Then he goes “Ey RARA, you hear about EliteXC?”. Conor broke to me the news that EliteXC is going out of business. I hurried up and rushed to The Ungerground as soon as I could from my Blackberry, and sure enough it was all over the UG. FUCKING ELITEXC IS GOING OUT OF BUSINESS! This is fucking NUTS! What the fuck is going to happen to Kimbo Slice, Nick Diaz, Jake Shields, Gina Carano ets. Most of all, WTF is going to happen to Women’s MMA? That’s one good thing that EliteXC brought to the table. They brought Women’s MMA into the public eye. Maaannnn… I was so looking forward to Gina Carano’s fight versus Cyborg. *sigh*

In my MMA’s Corner segment I made sure I spoke about EliteXC going out of business. Next show I am going to make sure I go over is Women’s MMA. Where is it going to be televised now? I was reading a few threads on the UG and people are hoping the WEC picks up Women’s MMA since they already dropped the 185 lb weight class. I really hope a good organization like Zuffa starts to publicize Women’s MMA. Dana White is already Jesus to MMA. If he makes this happen he will be God to MMA.

Gosh I’m still in shock about EliteXC…

Proof Urijah Faber and the guys at Ultimate Fitness are PIMPS! lol

I was searching YouTube and found this video of Urijah Faber and the guys at Ultimate Fitness at The Park in Sacramento, CA. The Park is the best night club in Sacramento. In the beginning of the video you see Urijah shaking Donnie’s hand, and Donnie is the manager of the club, which ironically is my sisters ex-fiance. Small world, right?

The best part was how the editor put Tracy’s CombatLifestyle logo in the beginning of the video… that was dope!

Anyway, I found this video quite funny and entertaining because I’ve got a chance to hang out the guys from Ultimate Fitness and party with them too. Virgil is the best! HAHA! I love how Urijah was like “This is my best friend in the whole wide world” and the chick goes “Hi best friend”. HAHA! But this video PROVES that they are pimps and just living the life… just as Urijah states in the video. At 7.22 in the video Urijah says “I love Stockton Bitches!” HAHA. He always says that to Drea and I LOL.

Check out Urijah being the biggest pimp in “SacraMACramento”

UFC 89: My heart broke

Yesterday I watched a live stream of UFC 89 because it was in Birmingham, England. There was no way I was going to wait till the fights aired our time. So Drea and I spent the afternoon watching the fights on our computer

Anyway, I’m so sad Brandon Vera lost his fight. I know how hard he has trained and mentally prepared he was. He really needed this win. Errrrrr and I can’t stand going to the UG right now, because I hate reading all the negative things people are saying about Brandon. The truth is that it’s not over with B. He is not gonna give up and is going to continue to fight.

You should have seen me jumping up and down in my living room when Brandon came out with his Filipino flag TapouT shorts to Black Eyed Peas “Bebot” song. He makes us so proud. And even though he did lose his fight, we are still proud of him. He is Pinoy and represents hard for us. I have every bit of faith in him and I know our Filipino brothers and sisters to too.

My UFC 89 rant:
Bisping vs Leben
It landed in a decision and there you have Bisping winning in his hometown again. Drea and I were looking at each other like wtf when Leben just let Bisping hit him at the end of round three lol. I really enjoyed hearing what Leben had to say after the fight. You could totally tell that he has changed and matured a lot since his TUF days. I also thought it was cute Bisping brought his son in the cage with him and they showed his son giving him a front kick.

Jardine vs Vera
*sigh* I don’t wanna talk about it.

Sokoudjou vs Cane
Sokoudjou tired out. Dan Henderson was telling him to take him down and he didn’t. I really wanted Sokoudjou to win too. That was my first disappointment of the night.

Taylor vs Lytle
It wasn’t the Light’s Out Lytle this time. I was kinda hoping Taylor would win for his fans in the crowd but never the less it ended in a unanimous decision. I blackberry messaged Chad from Toe2Toe as soon as I saw the Toe2Toe banner in Taylor’s corner.

Kelly vs Davis
Well at least we got some good action in the beginning of UFC 89 and this one didn’t end in a decision. Good submission by Davis.

This UFC was kinda ehhh. My heart broke when Brandon lost and everyone I wanted to win lost. BOO!

At least Dan Hardy won. He fought on the Undercard. We had him as a guest on our show and he also trains with Eddie. He at least saved my night with a happy win even thought I didn’t get to watch the fight.

Now I just can’t wait for UFC 90 in Chicago. I’m soooo excited to go and not only that, I get to watch my favorite fighter Anderson Silva fight in the octagon again. WHOOOO HOOOOO!

Carson Kressley

Yesterday I was in the audience for the Carson Kressley show. He is one funny gay ass guy. I laughed my ass off so much. Allison Sweeney was the guest of the show. She plays Sami Brady on Days of Our Lives. She was pregnant and made an awesome guest on the show. Then he had some Australian pet guy come on the show and brought a snake and kangaroo. It was hilarious when Carson grabs the snake. He is such a girl. Anyway, I give Carson a lot of credit. It was the taping of his first show and it went really well.

My Thursday…

After all my Filipino food cravings I finally finished my Kare Kare, Lechon, and Bangus yesterday lol. My whole place smells like fish. Drea had to bust out with the Febreeze LOL.

I didn’t do much yesterday but just work. Then Byron hit me up. We made plans to hit up Kura Sushi and then Les Deux.

Then JD drunk dialed me from Paris, France. It was 5AM his time and I do have to say I was quite entertained when he slurred “I don’t care if this call costs me $1.25 a minute… I just had to call you” and then started speaking jibberish and then Spanish to the french bell boy. If you know JD it was pure comedy. He is infamous for saying the craziest things when he is half asleep and intoxicated.

Anyway, Byron swoopped me up at 10AM and we hit up Kura Sushi for a seared Albacore Special and sake.

At Les Deux Jane Doe was performing accompanied by C-Bo and Jack Asses Steve-O. I was actually a little star struck when I saw C-Bo because you know C-Bo’s 151 Code of the Street is one of my favorite cds and I still play it in my car from time to time.

After her performance I was dead exhausted. I went home at 1am and knocked the fuck out.

TGIF!
