(Now picture the fist rapidly moving up and down.)
Remember when we brought back Comments of the Week weeks ago and I joked about how I would immediately forget about it by the following week — and then I did forget about it? That was insane, and totally unexpected. But thanks to a GIF of a guy jerking off while unconscious (i.e., "pulling a Carradine"), we're back on track.
Today's comment winners will receive the new version of CagePotato Devil's Horns shirt, with the fist on the back, as pictured above. If your name is called, just e-mail contest@cagepotato.com with your name, size, and mailing address. Alright? Now let's see who commented hardest this week...

("It's an honor to meet you, man. The Hills Have Eyes is, like, my favorite movie ever.")
According to new reports, the UFC will hold its first Fan Expo of 2012 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas on July 6-7. The expo will be held in conjunction with a major UFC event on July 7th, likely at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. As of now, no fights have been announced for the card; we'll keep you posted as soon as we know more.
The July 2012 UFC Fan Expo will be the first held since October 2011, when the two-day convention was tied to UFC 136 in Houston. Though we couldn't make it out to that one, CagePotato has enjoyed a checkered history with these expos, highlighted by a crowd-pleasing punch-machine, a lifetime ban, and a drunken night in Toronto. Should we plan for another meetup in Vegas?

Nothing groundbreaking this time around, but I'm starting to agree with Nick Diaz about how it's strange that the UFC expects fighters to be cordial and play nice before an event.
Veteran manager Alex Davis warns of fighting perils associated with MMA success
The veteran manager watched with joy as his clients each picked up wins at UFC 142.
For Edson Barboza, the night was exceedingly special, as the 26-year-old was rewarded with two "Fight Night" honors and $130,000. Davis believes Barboza's grounded roots have him prepared to deal with the attention that will soon come, but the veteran manager warns that not everyone is ready to handle what comes after special moments in the octagon.
Outrageous News of the Day: Man Who Cornered 12-Year-Old Son At One of His Illegal Events Is Alabama’s First Licensed MMA Promoter
By Mike Russell
(Nothing like a shady promoter profiting off of the blood, sweat and tears of fighters.)
Last year when a video began circulating of a pair of eight year olds competing in a three-round grappling exhibition in a cage during the intermission of a UK-based MMA event, the Internet exploded with outrage from pundits and fans of the sport.
Widespread worldwide media coverage of the match prompted the police in Lancashire, England where the event took place to launch an investigation into whether or not any laws were broken by the promoter. They ruled that the event was not illegal and that the boys were never in any harm and as unsettling as seeing two pre-pubescent youths competing in a cage meant for men was, since they were only basically having a no-gi grappling match no charges were ever laid.
It's too bad that Alabama authorities aren't as thorough.
On July 30, 2011 in Priceville, Alabama a local karate school owner by the name of Robert Clairday held an underground event in which two 12-year-olds actually fought inside a ramshackle homemade cage.
One of the kids, Christian Echols, is the son of Ray Echols - Clairday's business partner in his gym, Fear None MMA, who also helped promote the rogue event that was held at Morgan County Celebration Arena -- a dirt floor horse arena.

Win the WEC title? Check. UFC belt? Check. Avenge your lone career loss? Check.
So with Cruz now preparing to face his nemesis, Urijah Faber, for the second time in just three fights, is "The Dominator" struggling for motivation? Hardly. After all, who wouldn't want to beat up their annoying co-worker?
Dana White Is Already Open to a Possible Anthony Johnson Return
(Jesus Christ Rumble, pull yourself together, will you?)
If you recall, about a fortnight ago, super middleweight contender Anthony Johnson showed up to the UFC 142 weigh-ins at a Weigh-In Failure Leaderboard Record of 12 pounds heavy for his clash with former UFC light heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort. Dana White all but fired Johnson on the spot, labeling him "unprofessional," to which Johnson responded by laughing at all us ignant haters. After a strong start in his fight with "The Phenom," Johnson quickly gassed and succumbed to a first round rear-naked choke, and was given his walking papers promptly afterward.
Well, it seems that, despite missing weight for 25% of his UFC bouts, "Rumble" still has an outside chance of getting back into the sport's highest promotion. When questioned about the issue following the UFC on Fox 2 press conference, White stated:
[Johnson] needs to go fight somewhere else, get some wins and come in on weight. He needs to prove to me that he can be a professional, show up on weight and do the things that he needs to do. [If] he gets a few fights under his belt and does that, we’ll talk.

UFC on FOX 2 preview: Title shots promised, but uncertainty lingers
With some 40 events expected for 2012, they'll have to get used to a whole lot more main events contested for no other glory than the possibility of title contention - not the promise.
No gold is on the line Saturday at UFC on FOX 2, but the event features two No. 1 contender bouts that promise to shape the immediate future of the middleweight and light-heavyweight divisions.
