I am a huge deadspin fan, but if I am looking for some MMA coverage from a top sports blog I am not going to find it over there unless we are talking Kimbo, Dana, piss drinking, or extreme arm wrestling.  You know, the important aspects of MMA.  However, Luke O'Brien recently submitted a post on UFC Fight Night 20.  O'Brien is a writer in DC and has written about MMA for the Washing Post Magazine and SI.com.  Within the post he chronicles the Amir/Blackburn fight and it is epic.

Blackburn was staggered several times by hipster uppercuts and straights and rendered senseless at the end of first round, at which point one might say he literally had the snot knocked out of him. Here, unedited, are my notes describing the phlegmatic spectacle:

blackburn hocks a truly amazing blood loogie on the fence. it's massive. it crawls down the fence throughout the second round, slowly descending, hanging like a string with a nut of snot or maybe a tooth at the end. it snakes down the fence. two links of chain. three. then four. the thing won't stop. if the cameramen had any goddamn sense they'd be shooting the hell out of this. shallow depth of field. it's down to five links now. my god, it's going all the way. the fat hacks in front of me are gawking at it as sadollah continues to land punches from weird angles in front of this monstrosity. does that girl by the cage see it? it's about to fall on her head! she looks like a george mason student. she's got a backpack on. maybe a student reporter. whew. she moves. round three...amir continues to punish his foe. he almost kayos blackburn but opts to take him down for some reason. they're banging up against the cage near the booger string. the unholy thing appears to have stopped, fully descended, hardening, tendrils vibrating in milky red splendor as the mat shakes while sadollah beats out what can only be a unanimous decision victory.

That is one magic loogie.
