For a lunatic, Junie writes a very sane and sensible blog. Just judging from his blog, he's the most intelligent person on the show. It was a surprise.

He began by analyzing the fight between Bader and Eliot Marshall. He said it was putting him to sleep. That was about the most brilliant and incisive thing anyone could say about it. It was a really bad fight because Bader just lay on him the whole time doing nothing. That's what you sometimes get when you have a highly trained wrestler like Bader who doesn't know jiu jitsu at all, and isn't a good boxer or kicker. He has nothing to do but lay on you. And with his wrestling training, he will be able to do it. He'll have his way with the other guy, but there won't be any climaxes. Just suppression.

Fainting Phillippe Nover defeated no-talent Roop, and our friend Junie described the fight accurately. Junie said he was surprised when Roop swept Nover off him, and I was too. Great minds think alike. And our surprise was for the same reason - Roop sucks on the ground, and sweeping somebody off you is a sophisticated move to play. Junie complimented Nover.

Junie's description of the Vinny Magalhaes vs. Krystof Soszinski (I give up completely on spelling Krystof's first or last name correctly, fuck it) was very revealing. He knows more about these guys than we as viewers do. He said that Krystof is a jerk, and I believe him. Krystof is most definitely a jerk. He's a jerk for throwing hard objects at people. Junie said he's a jerk for going against his buddy Vinny from the start. He said that the whole time, Krystof was talking to someone else about how to defeat his "friend" and stablemate Vinny. In the end, it was Vinny who defeated Krystof.

I did have a slightly different take on that fight though. I knew Vinny was going to win. Krystof didn't stand a chance. Whenever someone describes a fight as "the classic matchup between a standup fighter and a ground fighter" you know in advance who is going to win. The ground fighter is going to kick his ass, and it isn't going to be close. Taking candy from a baby. Fight over before it starts. Vinny is the ground fighter. He'd beat Krystof 10 times out of 10. After the fight, that absolute idiot Krystof said that now he knows he will have to work more on his ground fighting skills. Duhhhhhhhhhhh. Fuckin duhhhhhhhhhhh.

Junie then discussed the part of the show when he said he didn't want to fight. He said it was not because he was afraid to lose on national tv. It was because he KNEW he was going to lose to Efrain. And the reason he gave was that his training was horrible on Frank Mir's team. He couldn't get anyone to roll with him because they all hated him, since he threw tantrums. That's not the way he put it. He just said the first part, that he couldn't get anyone to roll with him, and he made some excuses for the rest. He said he was tired and out of shape. He said he was getting no training from Mir's team, but Nogueira's team was getting good training. He also said that now that he's out of there, and training with Xtreme Couture, he is good enough to beat Efrain easily.

He explained the shattered glass incident by saying that the tv show didn't show what really happened leading up to that. The guy he threw the glass at was baiting him, turning on him. Hey, Junie is nuts after all, so what do you want? I can't remember ever throwing glass at someone. It's not something I'd do.

He said that half the people in America want to see him win, and the other half want to see him lose. He's delusional. I think it is more accurate to say that 99% of the people who watch the show want to see him get destroyed, and maybe 1% don't.

He explained why he didn't respond to Frank Mir's coaching on the sidelines. Mir kept urging him to throw punches and kicks in combinations of three. Junie said he wanted to, but he was too tired.

Junie is a head case. But that doesn't mean that every single thing he says and does is going to be insane. It just means that sometimes it will be insane. Most of the time he's sane. Sometimes nuts.

He predicted a brilliant future for himself in MMA now that he's getting good training with Couture. I think he overrates his own ability, from what I've seen. I never saw him particularly good. I wouldn't be surprised to see him defeat Dave Kaplan in their upcoming televised fight, but that's because I don't think Kaplan is very good either. I think Nover would beat Junie. That Kaplan is nuts himself. He's the guy who got drunk and kept pestering his big friend to punch him in the face with all his might because it is impossible to knock him out, so the guy hit him once and he was out cold. Kaplan is a comedy act, but doesn't mean to be, and we're laughing at him, not with him. He's a loony tune.
