Klitschko vs Povetkin. Finally, a boxing match to get excited about!!

The younger of the two Klitschko brothers (Wladimir), aka "Dr. Steelhammer" (badass nickname), will be defending his multiple heavyweight belts against undefeated Russian boxer Alexander Povetkin this October.  Why am I talking about boxing?  Because its the first time that a match I actually care about seeing has been made in the last decade.  Pacquiao vs Mayweather will probably never happen.  Dumb.  So unless Hayden Pantera (incorrect, but better) injures the "Ukrainian Sensation" (my nickname for Klitschko) during bedroom gymnastics, we should be in for a damn good boxing match.  What a concept!!

UFC's Silva To Bring In Norris & Seagal For Next Camp

UFC legend and former champ Anderson Silva wants to bring in Chuck Norris and Steven Seagal to help him prepare for his title rematch against Chris Weidman.  If Silva's goal is to learn how to pretend fight, I'm pretty sure he already mastered that art in his first bout with Weidman.

Rich Fronig wins 3rd consecutive Crossfit Games Title

Rich Fronig just won his 3rd straight Crossfit Games Championship.  Not familiar with Fronig or the Crossfit Games?  Mmm, you will be (said in a Yoda voice).  The Crossfit Games combines the strength of a power lifter, the endurance of a marathon runner, and the agility and athleticism of a gymnast.  So that makes Fronig the world's best athlete, right?  Maybe.  If you watch a Crossfit Games broadcast on ESPN, thoughts such as "Are these people being punished for something?" or "Does the winner get to live?" or "Please help them- that looks like it hurts" will cross (no pun) your mind.  There is one word to describe these competitors- machines.  So that makes Rich Fronig the Terminator, right?  Possibly.  So then what would you call Rich?  For now, let's just go with all around badass.
