Tweetstars of the Day (09/01/2013) – Stephie Daniels
Homeless guy in park: “Hey, you at UFC?” Me: “Yeah.” Him: Pettis win?” Me: “Yeah.” Him: “Couple bucks so I can get a beer to celebrate?”

No no!! It’s NOT TRUE!! Vitor Belfort did not call out Anthony Pettis!! Although I wouldn’t put it passed him…

#4) The sad thing is, Dizz is right. It wouldn’t be a shock to see Vitor Belfort call out Anthony Pettis.
The WARMASTER has no tolerance for stupid questions! #NoticeServedBitches lol @JoshLBarnett #UFC164

Probably easier to just buy a new soul. I’ll sell him mine, gently used. RT @NatFlyweight How does Bendo remove TWO stains?

#8) Ben Fowlkes appears to have never watched that one episode of the Simpsons where Bart sold his soul…
Barnett’s walkout music mutilated and devoured Mir’s walkout music. #UFC164

#9) When you’re unofficially sponsored by death metal legends Bolt Thrower, chances are your walkout music will “mutilate and devour” just about anybody else’s.
@ZProphet_MMA It’s cool that they’re using the phantom cam for this entire fight.

#10) Unfortunately, Soa Paleilei vs. Nikita Krylov was filmed without any cinematographic trickery. That was real time, frighteningly enough.
