Matt and Mark Hughes[edit]
I see that there is a reference to the Hughes Twins being Identical - I believe they are Fraternal twins. Can anyone cite reliable references to either?
I cannot find the interview where I believe Matt Hughes corrected the assumption that they are identical.
- They are identical twins, not fraternal.Rosarionathan 15:36, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Gracie fight[edit]
I put the hold Hughes used down as a kimura - I think this is right but I'm not a BJJ expert and am not 100% sure. If someone knows better please change it. --Mule Man
- It was a straight armbar, ([1]), I'll change it. --- Trench 01:13, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
- he actually used a kimura and transitioned to a straight arm bar Creamytitties (talk) 21:57, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Original research[edit]
To explain why I placed the {{OriginalResearch}} tag on this page, here are some parts I think are not appropriate for Wikipedia:
- While it is somewhat common for MMA fighters to slam their opponent, it is usually performed by quickly picking up the opponent then dropping them in one fluid motion.
- This practice gives him a natural advantage over smaller and weaker opponents. In the world of MMA it is widely known that Hughes is the strongest welterweight fighter. Hughes is also considered to be one of the strongest fighters in MMA pound for pound.
- One of Hughes's weaknesses is that he can be submitted by opponents who are well versed in the art of submission. Like many wrestlers, Hughes has a tendency to sometimes leave out a body part, which the opponent can isolate and apply pressure to, forcing him to tap or risk injury.
- Hughes is known for his extreme strength, wrestling ability and grappling skills.
These are some examples of what I think are original research. In general the whole tone of this article is that of a personal essay, and I suspect it may need to be rewritten to place the emphasis back on the facts. ⟳ausa کui × 19:28, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
I've rewritten the page to remove the PoV reference. Sue Anne 08:00, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
- I don't know about the other stuff. All together it does sound POV, however ... Hughes is also considered to be one of the strongest fighters in MMA pound for pound. The commentators do say this pretty much every time he fights. True or not, the commentators always say it and he is strong, generally stronger than his opponent. He looks like he power lifts. Also, something should be said about his slams as they are his trademark. Even in other fights, even in other venues, commentators make references to slamming Matt Hughes style.
- If there's a direct quote from a commentator, it might be appropriate to put in. But, I do think it's POV to put in some hype that the commentators are using to boost their champion. Also, the article does mention the slams -- " ...carrying them to a different part of the ring and slamming them to the mat." Sue Anne 00:06, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
- "He is perhaps the strongest champion maybe the strongest fighter pound for pound that the UFC has ever seen." UFC 56, Matt Vasgersian, commentator. This was the latest one. I don't know how to put that in NPOV. (CHF 07:38, 22 November 2005 (UTC))
- I edited the slam sentence to reflect what I think it should say. I don't know where to find commentator transcripts (CHF 00:29, 17 November 2005 (UTC))
- I don't agree with your changes. While Matt Hughes might be most well known for his slam of Carlos Newton, he doesn't always carry his opponents "across" the ring, nor does he always slam someone against the fence. I think the more generic description is better. Sue Anne 00:45, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
- He did it to Trigg as well. Sure he doesn't _always_ do it. He just does it when he can. And he doesn't slam them against the fence. He slams them near the fence with their head pointed towards it so he can stuff them up. It is a similar strategy to what Couture uses, except Couture clenches them into the cage and then slams them. Perhaps you are confusing what I wrote with how he proped up Carlos on the fence. I have never seen him do that except in that one fight. If you can word it better, then please do.
- I'm not sure why Sue Anne is so intent on changing this article, but I must chime in. Matt Hughes is WELL-KNOWN for his considerable strength, and he is WELL-KNOWN for his "across the ring" slam. It's a signature move of his. Watch his fights, get into MMA. These are two particular things he is well-known for. He's also known as an excellent wrestler and a fierce ground-and-pounder. Jgw 14:56, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
- The point of him carrying them to his corner, slamming them with his opponents head facing the fence is so that he is facing his coaches and can talk to them....DUH. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs) .

Dana white comment[edit]
I believe the dana white claim which has been tagged 'citation needed' came on air during UFN3, although dana has probably said something like that many times. not only is it unlikely we will be able to find a URL citing this, it is simply not clear to me that white's opinion of hughes is objective or germane to the article.
Burgher 08:10, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Someone please clean up this stuff about his comments about Dana and him having 9 daughters... I am laughing too hard to do it myself... Natediesel (talk) 13:38, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Matt Hughes MMA Record[edit]
according to this: http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=fighter.detail&pid=4 he's at 41 wins. Renegade78 01:29, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- According to his personal home page and Sherdog he is at 39 wins. UFC likes to inflate the records of their fighters from my experience as fighter's Sherdog records are almost always different than their UFC profile states (remeber when the UFC announced Royce Gracie as undefeated? Yeah right...). I've made a note next to the win stating this, I think this is what we should use. VegaDark 01:33, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Firm but hairy buttocks?[edit]
Can this be verified?
- Oh it could, but I'll be damned if I'm volunteering to find out :), regardless the vandalism has already been reverted. --- Trench 01:45, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
BJ Penn VS. Hughes 2[edit]
If something is erroneously reported in the recent fights section then it must be corrected, or any section for that matter. But I dont believe any articles written, which report the truth, in a more interesting matter should be replaced by something more simplified which states the same thing. In short, why would anyone delete and replace my article if it said everything that someone obviously copied and pasted. It took time to write and if it had any errors only those should have been corrected, but it didnt, instead someone chose to replace it with their own.
I removed things because there was a TON of poorly worded, overly wordy, repeating... it's completely unnecessary to have 2 paragraphs practicely side-by-side stating the exact same thing, plus, as i said, there was so much stuff poorly worded, it looked sloopy... if anything of yours was removed that you dont think should have been, sorry, but also realize simple doesn't mean poor, and honestly i didn't see much interestingly written --- Thesaddestday
Poorly worded? Forget the choice of diction because the goal of wikipedia is not to confuse it's readers with pseudo-intellectual jargin. Recognize your audience. I was referring to context, if you said that Matt Hughes won against BJ Penn without referring to the fact that Hughes was dominated the first two rounds, then you would not be giving enough information. He did not "win" the first two rounds. If you know UFC or MMA then you would understand why it is so important to say that BJ Penn held off Hughes' attempt to take him down and that Penn was the better striker. It helps the audience understand that Matt Hughes is a highly criticized fighter for a reason. Whether you agree with that or not is irrelevant because Hughes IS criticized and that could help readers understand why. The fact that he attempted, but failed, to take BJ Penn down is important in understanding why other FIGHTERS (not just fans) say that Hughes has only one tactic, to take his opponent down and overpower him. Not giving this information is like not mentioning the FAMOUS Hughes SLAM or the CROCOP knockout of SILVA. I will not mess with your editing job but I think that is robbing the readers of something they should know, because a lot of people who first begin to get into MMA come and look up famous fighters I know I used to look up Gracie and Shamrock to see what they were all about. At the very least copy and past something from Sherdog.com they gave a three paragraph play by play of the fight (one paragraph each round).- MMA Fighter and Fan
That is not what I meant by poorly worded... I think what happened in the fight is relevant, someone else removed that... personally I made major changes because it looked like someone who failed English class wrote it... sorry I'm not trying to be mean, but it was written very poorly... I agree, information should be plenty to truly represent the topic of the article, but it has to be written somewhat intelligently and not accepted as a first draft... proof-reading would have gone a long way, but in my opinion cutting it down to the facts in a simple form was best... feel free to include anything over the first 2 rounds, I agree it is relevenat info, just don't overdo it with poorly placed or unnecessary words --Thesaddestday 03:13, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know about anybody else, but I added the recently revealed information that Penn separated his ribs during round 2, which is highly relevant to understanding the dynamic of the match, and how he was completely different in round 3 after having won the first two rounds (as acknowledged by Hughes). But, apparently whoever has the most patience gets to write whatever he wants on wikipedia.
I agree that Penn's injury is relevant --Thesaddestday 02:43, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

HUGHES ESCAPED THE ARMBAR/TRIANGLE THE END OF THE ROUND DIDN'T SAVE HIM[edit]
- So you just edit out what people say if you don't like it?? Works both ways...--Donnie from the mean streets of Boston, KY 16:35, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Incorrect Trivia[edit]
The only opponent he hasn't defeated is Dennis Hallman, who defeated him twice (most recently in 2000) by submission in the first round. """
This is incorrect. Look at his record, which is posted RIGHT BELOW SAID FACT. He has lost to Pele, Jose Landi-Jons as well....--Donnie from the mean streets of Boston, KY 03:06, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- good catch, i overlooked this post Thesaddestday 05:54, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not gonna add because my stuff usually gets deleted for whatever reason, but don't you think it would be cool to add in the trivia section the incident where Matt jumped on Tito Ortiz's back in order to protect him from Lee Murray after Murray knocked Tito down and soccer kicked him outside a nightclub in England? And yes, that was the biggest run-on sentence in the history of mankind...
No hyperbowl --Donnie from the mean streets of Boston, KY 15:47, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- If you can provide a reliable source that sounds like some interesting info to have. VegaDark 18:52, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Well I cannot find the interview with Pat Miletich where he tells the story, but if you look at Lee Murrays article on here it is in his article...--Donnie from the mean streets of Boston, KY 16:48, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
For his style, why does it say Submission Wrestling? He wrestled. He did brazilian jiu jitsu... Two different things. Mixed Martial Arts is a combo of styles, not JUST a title for a sports event. If he was strictly a submission wrestler, why does he strike? Thats the problem because you people on wikipedia insist one style is put here. This isnt UFC 1. Every fighter now does MMA. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs) .
- If we just put mixed martial arts as the style for every fighter, it wouldn't be very useful, now would it? Submission wrestling is of course Hughes' primary discipline. He trains in other things, just as all fighters do. SubSeven 04:51, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- UM NO. Hughes' primary discipline WOULD BE WRESTLING. Thanks for playing though...--Donnie from the mean streets of Boston, KY 16:46, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- and there is absolutely no reason to be rude about it Thesaddestday 04:03, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- What did I say that was rude? Maybe a bit condescending, but if you don't let the child know its done something wrong it will continue to do it...--Donnie from the mean streets of Boston, KY 17:51, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- Except that wrestling doesnt involve traingles or any of that, in fact, wrestling in college in highschool is about pinning your opponent, the ONLY thing Hughes took from wrestling was takedowns, he primarily studies SUBMISSION WRESTLING, and lets not say anything about his pathetic striking, hes got an iron chin, but his striking is not any better than some chump in a barIvanSanchez716 05:29, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- UM NO. Hughes' primary discipline WOULD BE WRESTLING. Thanks for playing though...--Donnie from the mean streets of Boston, KY 16:46, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Submissions + Wrestling does not equal Submission Wrestling. He never trained "submission wrestling" He did greco roman wrestling, brazilian jiu jitsu, and muay thai. Look at the page for submission wrestling, it doesnt even call it a style, it just gives examples of grappling with submissions. HorrorFiend138
- In that case, add those as his fighting styles. Miletich Fighting Systems is not his fighting style, it is his camp. That's like adding Team Quest as Randy Couture's fighting style. VegaDark 06:12, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- reverted back from militech fighting systems to submission wrestling due to the same reasons vegadark listed Thesaddestday 08:03, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Matt Hughes is not a "submission wrestler" There is no "submission wrestling" it's made up. He's a mixed martial artist.
- a lot of people refer to catch-wrestling as submission wrestling... but on the subject of hughes, i think muay thai should be removed, he never stands up and fights he takes people down and gnp's and subs, and when he does stand up it looks more like sloppy boxing then muay thai Thesaddestday 22:53, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- a lot of people under estimate his striking, but ok yeah, bjj and wrestling should stay as his style. agreed anyone?

Alleged Groin Strikes[edit]
The article says that St. Pierre accidentally landed 2 groin strikes in their latest fight, I think that there is still some controversy about whether those actually connected or not, maybe the wording should be changed a bit? N1000 19:42, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Hughes has been given the nickname of (I kid you not) "Country Breakfast" by MMA fans and I can't think of a good way to put it in. Can someone put it in the page in the proper manner?
- It doesn't belong anywhere in the article unless you have a reliable source for that being his nickname. VegaDark 18:41, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- He is not refered to by that name in the ring. I keep up with UFC and saw him loose the title to Georges St. Pierre on ppv. In other words I have seen many of his matches and never heard that. You do really have to have a reliable souce for that one.—Shella * 23:56, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- Exactly. It's a nickname that a few MMA forum posters gave him that makes fun of the ludicrous breakfast he has in front of him during his Xyience commercial, saying "Don't have time for a country breakfast?". While funny, it has no place in his Wikipedia article unless a reliable source reports that people have given him this nickname. VegaDark 00:02, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- It's a minor footnote and a name that "keyboard warriors" have given to Matt as a form of ridicule. I could see it getting maybe a couple sentences in the novel of his life, but it is really irrelevant here. -- Rosarionathan 20:04, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

TUF2 write up[edit]
I deleted the reference to Matt's "aggressive and confrontational personality" being on display during season 2 of The Ultimate Fighter. It is opinion not fact and does not represent a neutral point of view. A more correct statement would be, "Hughes was portrayed as the 'bad coach' for the season; but he has personally stated that it was a result of editing rather than an accurate portrayal of the facts." My source is from a transcript of an interview Matt did on SpikeTV.com, we no longer link to this page on Matt's website, but it is still an accurate transcript of what he said. http://www.matt-hughes.com/tuf2.html --Rosarionathan 19:45, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Matt is STILL a legend in this sport[edit]
His loss to St.Pierre does nothing to diminish his past accomplishments. He is still the most dominant champion in UFC history, with more title defenses than anyone else. I believe that he is ranked #2 for UFC victories (right behind Chuck Liddell). Matt has earned his place in the UFC Hall of Fame and I believe this article should be more respectful of what he has accomplished in this sport and not focus so much on the negative. The opinions of a few people on the internet does not erase the fact that he holds 9 championship victories.
My name is Nathan Rosario, I run Matt Hughes' official website, and I am making this article one of my pet projects. I want it to focus on the facts of Matt's career, not the slanderous comments of a few malcontents scattered across the internet. -- Rosarionathan 20:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- A few points:
- 1. Welcome to Wikipedia.
- 2. Please be more respectful of the others editing articles, and assume good faith unless the contrary is quite clear. Just because you discovered some material in the article that you consider to be negative does not mean that everyone here is a "keyboard warrior" who somehow has it in for Matt.
- 3. Everyone is welcome to contribute, but the tone of your statements thus far on the talk page tells me that you need to make sure your edits are neutral. For the same reason that "keyboard warriors" who only want to disparage Matt have their edits reverted, yours will be as well if they are simply glowingly positive and praising. Matt's website would be a more appropriate place for that.
- Otherwise, I look forward to your contributions. I'm sure someone close to Matt can help out tremendously with the factual accuracy of this MMA-related article. Tuckdogg 21:04, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- I apologize if I came off in an accusing manner. I actually believe that those responsible for this article have done a pretty good job of staying neutral for the most part. There were a few things that caught my eye and prompted me to add my own edits. One example was the reference that Matt had lost the first two rounds of the recent Penn fight. We will never know how the judge's scorecards would have scored those rounds. To claim that he lost them is pure speculation. Matt did a good job of staying aggressive in the first round and kept BJ on the defensive, so there is a good chance that round one would have gone to Matt. However, that is also pure conjecture. To accurately depict the results of those first two rounds, we could easily just say that, "Hughes himself believed that he lost the first two rounds...." Or something along those lines.
- The other big thing was the reference to Matt's personality on TUF2 implying that the TV show was an accurate representation of who Matt really is, when he has said over and over again in interviews that it is not accurate. In fact, some of the edits on that show bordered on slander.
- I'm not interested in blind praise, but I do believe that we should be respectful of what he has accomplished in this sport and not try to downplay his abilities just because he lost one fight. He's still a legend in this sport, nothing that happens from here on out will change that. We don't judge Muhammed Ali's career by his 1980 comeback fight and we shouldn't. So I believe that this article should extend Matt the same courtesy. -- Rosarionathan 02:27, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- I have cited specialized websites in MMA which agree that Penn won the first two rounds of the UFC 63 main event.LlamaAl (talk) 23:27, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
- Rosarionathan, can you also explain why his personality on the TUF6 show seems to be consistent with his personality on TUF2? While it may be editing, I do think his confidence in his own abilities and record tend to give him an air of being arrogant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 21:47, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
"Xyience" references: There are two references to "Xyience" in this article that may be jokes, or vandalism, or may simply require clarification. The first is in reference to the second fight with BJ Penn: "In September 2006, Hughes defended his title against B.J. Penn, stopping him in the third round. This win was somewhat cast into doubt however, after Hughes tested positive for Xyience during a post-fight drug test." The second reference concerns Hughes' "outburst" about the virtues of American vs. Canadian bacon: "Hughes began shouting "No American Bacon, No Matt Hughes!" over and over again. It is spculated that he made have been having an episode of "Xyience Rage", not uncommen in the sport of MMA."
The Wikipedia stub on Xyience just says it's an epedra (sp?)-free energy drink. The Xyience website contains products which look (in my admittedly unprofessional opinion) like common non-steroid body-building and sports performance supplements.
Am I wrong to suspect that these references are tongue-in-cheek, or maybe even just advertising? While I'm sure we all agree with Mr. Hughes that Canadian bacon is not real bacon, and that delicious, crispy, God-fearing American bacon is the only TRUE bacon, and that Mullet haircuts are cool... am I being kidded here? 188.8.131.52 05:42, 6 January 2007 (UTC)Douglas R.

- That was a vandalised version of the page that I reverted a day ago. VegaDark 09:35, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Are we sure he went to Lincoln Land Community College instead of Lincoln College in Lincoln, Illinois? I noticed that it was changed, but does anyone have definitive evidence one way or another? Both colleges exist, but I wasn't under the impression that Matt went to Lincoln Land, although it is closer to Hillsboro. Capmaster 06:26, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- I also noticed it was changed. We should try and find a citation for it one way or another. VegaDark 06:33, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Fight record[edit]
We have 3 different sources that each say he has a different fight record. On one part of his personal web page says his record is 42-5 at [2], and on the section of his webpage that actually lists his fights ([3]) it only accounts for a record of 40-5. Sherdog agrees with a 40-5 record, and his UFC profile says his record is 41-5. I think we should go with the Sherdog record because of the following reasons: 1) It is a conflict of interest to take his record from his own webpage or even the UFC profile. While I'm not going to say these are unreliable sources, I don't think we should use them when more neutral sources are available, such as Sherdog. UFC records are occasionally trumped up to make the fighter look better than they are (they announced Royce Gracie as being undefeated when he went against Matt Hughes, which was patently untrue). Sherdog is neutral and lists his entire fight history so there is no room to ask how they came up with that record, like the UFC profile. 2) His website only accounts for 40 of the wins on the fight record. How can he claim 42 wins when the very record he provides doesn't include these extra two wins? Sherdog is our best bet here. I won't revert again, but I will bring it up at the MMA wikiproject to determine consensus there if it is changed again, and I suspect consensus will agree we should use Sherdog unless someone can find the results of these other two supposed fights from a reliable source. VegaDark 21:21, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- I absolutely agree. If those two fights cannot be documented, they should not be included in the count. Debolaz 11:12, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- I run Matt's webpage and he's told me that there are two of his fights that are not listed on his Sherdog profile. But it's been several months and he still hasn't given me the "wheres" and "whens" of those two fights. I'll just have to remind him about again at some point. Rosarionathan 14:32, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- In that case I suggest that when he gives you the details, you add them to his webpage and also submit them to Sherdog so his fight finder matches his web page, and we will have no problems about adding them. VegaDark 21:10, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

But it's been several months and he still hasn't given me the "wheres" and "whens" of those two fights. I'll just have to remind him about again at some point. Rosarionathan 14:32, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Trivia: Pele[edit]
"Hughes has lost to Pele." This is in trivia for some reason. {User:Renny11} June 11 2007
November 26 update[edit]
I went through and changed some style/tone, fixed a little grammar, removed the Trivia section, and updated the Hughes/Serra/St. Pierre sitch.DiScOrD tHe LuNaTiC (talk) 10:32, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Okay. I read Matt's book in a bookstore and i found ome interesting things.He has a son named Brandon from a previous relationship and it doesn't seem like the mother wants Matt to be part of his son's life.Also, Joey is Audra's son from a previous realtionship.Hanna is their only biological child for now.Should these things be mentioned on his page and could someone find the page numbers to put this information on here?Thanks. (MgTurtle (talk) 23:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC))
- Actually, per WP:BLP#Privacy of names, I don't think their names should be mentioned in the article at all. The names of family members don't add anything significant to Hughes' article, and other than his brother Mark (who's been a fighter himself) their names aren't widely known. I do realize he's mentioned them in a few interviews and maybe in the book, but I'd rather err on the side of caution when it comes to biographies of living persons.
- I also just removed the "Personal Life" section from the page. The reference link for the first two little "family trivia" thingys is dead, and the third about his book selling out is unsourced. I'll throw something back in referencing the publication of his book at the beginning of the article, though. Gromlakh (talk) 00:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
We shouldn't delete all of the personal life section. I don't think the names should be mentioned either but should it be mentioned that he has another son and that Joey isn't biologically his? But maybe since he hasn't mentioned it anywhere else, it shouldn't be on here. Any opinions? Just wondering.(MgTurtle (talk) 04:23, 12 January 2008 (UTC)).
- I'm not necessarily advocating for the permanent removal of all the info that was there, it's just that right now none of it is sourced. There's also the problem that it was previously set up like a "trivia" section, which is of course discouraged. I put a note in about his book, and I think the info on him being married and having kids would be better presented if it was worked into the opening "Biography" section. Gromlakh (talk) 04:29, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Why is there nothing to say, what happend between UFC 22 and UFC 26? and again from UFC 26 to UFC 34? where did he go? and why did he not have more UFC fights? looks like the ufc let him go for ages? Why is this? or did the UFC keep him sigend but let him fight else where? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 06:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
I moved the TUF section to the end - or we could add in in chrono order- but I don;t think 3 entries would read very well, I also moved some of the fight details into the correct order. David.snipes (talk) 01:54, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Southpaw stance?[edit]
As I know, Hughes isn't southpaw, but sometimes (if he wants to "shoot", grab the legs), he fights is southpaw stance. Can anyone confirm? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Furasrac (talk • contribs) 22:04, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Brown Belt in BJJ?[edit]
I don't see a reference next to the statement that Matt Hughes has a Brown Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Which instructor/school/dojo gave him the brown belt and when? Skeeter08865 (talk) 18:31, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
Matt Hughes Highschool Wrestling Record[edit]
Matt Hughes Highschool Wrestling Record was 135-2 it was on a poster he signed for my highschool wrestling team —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wreslter124 (talk • contribs) 01:07, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
UFC 117 submission edit war[edit]
I've noticed some people changing his choke from Front Headlock to Anaconda back and forth. I'd like to try and quell all that. Although the Anaconda choke is essentially an "arm-in shoulder choke" from the front headlock position, Matt Hughes himself as well as other MMA media sites have been calling it the "Dave Schultz Front Headlock Choke". Sherdog, however, lists the win as an Anaconda Choke. Maybe someone more experienced in grappling than myself can explain the differences between the two, because they look extremely similar. Apparently Hughes claims it's "an old wrestling choke" he learned. So does that mean the BJJ equivalent is called the Anaconda? I just think we should discuss this before any more little edit wars continue.
Here's some links for you to peruse to help make up your mind.
Hughes's Sherdog Record calls it an "Anaconda choke"
Matt Hughes himself demonstrating the Dave Schultz Front Headlock Choke
The actual gif from UFC 117
USA Today calls it a "Front choke"
Fightline calls it a "front headlock choke"
MMA Junkie calls it a "Modified arm-triangle choke"
My conclusion: They look so similar that I think what we have here is two names for the same move. One has wrestling roots, one perhaps BJJ roots. I vote for going with what Hughes says it is, based on the fact that he's the one who performed the submission. I am willing to entertain arguments to the contrary, but let's not result to edit warring to fix this issue. I say let's talk this out first. Dachknanddarice (T‖C) 20:35, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
Changes in "Bonuses"[edit]
I've just spent a few minutes correcting some changes that were made regarding the amount of "Bonuses" Hughes has earned in his (UFC) career. He was listed as having won Fight of the Night (honors) and Submission of the Night (honors) 5 times each by a previous person when he has infact only won either Bonus one time. It's a simple matter of looking back to when the UFC started offering bonuses and seeing that most of the changes made were previous to this date, IE, they werent offering bonuses of any kind at that point. Matt Hughes is a great fighter, my all-time favorite infact, but there is no reason to try to falsly inflate the record of someone so accomplished, let those accomplishments speak for themselves.
Hughes has, by the disclosed bonuses (announced during post fight conferences by Dana White), won Fight of the Night one time at UFC 98 against Matt Serra and has won Submission of the Night one time at UFC 117 against Ricardo Almeida. No other bonuses have been previously earned by Hughes in any UFC event. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 22:28, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
- His official website says that he has won 4 Tapout of the Night, and it shares the pictures of that prize.

Will complete the review in 2 days. Thanks! TheSpecialUser TSU 23:56, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
Despite the hard work, I fear that this is a tough one. Here are the issues which I see:
- WP:LEAD should summerize the article which it doesn't and should not introduce topics that are not covered later
- Prose- It is ok but not up to GA status and needs copy-editing throughout. Wikipedia:Guild of copyeditors can be helpful once this review is closed
- Refs- some sources are unreliable while some are primary ones. Also, most of them are incomplete and need name of authors, date etc
- Images- logo is copyrighted. captions need to be improved a bit and images need WP:ALT
- Neutrality- as stated above, it needs copy-editing. Choice of words doesn't seem to feel good enough
This was merely an overview. It is possibly failing 4 of 6 criteria. TheSpecialUser TSU 22:54, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
- Ref needed
- Images need WP:ALT
- Remove the logo in The Ultimate Fighter as it is copyrighted material and should not be used in any article except the article The Ultimate Fighter
Done - LlamaAl (talk) 23:56, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- Books - is the book written by him or is he the subject of the book? I think that he has written it so no need of inclusion. Remove the section please
Done - LlamaAl (talk) 23:56, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- MMA debut, Ultimate Fighting Championship, Early life and Championships and achievements - Many facts are unsourced so refs are needed
Done - I will add more references to the article within the next three days. It had 138 refs last week, now the article has 152. I also completed all the references which were incomplete, according to Template:Cite web. LlamaAl (talk) 02:49, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

- In the process, Hallman handed Hughes his first professional defeat.
- Done
- He started a 18-fight winning streak at Extreme Shootfighting on December 11, 1998, including fourteen finishes and two wins in the UFC.
- Done — I have deleted it. It was a mathematical fact.

His freshman and sophomore years, he made the NJCAA All-American Team, and his final two years he was listed on the NCAA Division I All-American Teams.
- Done — I found a source from Lincoln College, it contains his entire wrestling career.
LlamaAl (talk) 00:26, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
- General fixes
- In refs, I see that you have used "Sherdog.com", but it should not include the ".com". So Sherdog.com should be changed to only Sherdog. The same implies with all other sources used.
- Ok. But there are some cases, like MMAjunkie.com or MMAWeekly, websites which have their names with ".com". I won't change those. Oh, Do I have to put Sports Illustrated or The New York Times in italics? LlamaAl (talk) 17:48, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
- About.com, Fighters.com, MMAmania.com, 411mania.com, LowKick.com, MMA-Core.com, MMA Playground.com Forumeter.com are another webs with the ".com" ending. I have researched for each one's real name. LlamaAl (talk) 18:39, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

- These are dead So, please replace them and add other or fix the link if there is an error. TheSpecialUser TSU 00:51, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Great work on the article so far. The issues still exist are mainly the lack of refs as stated above. And as far as using ".com" goes, Sherdog.com can go as Sherdog while the other notable websites, don't need any change. Here are few required changes:
- During their high school days they both played football and wrestled - "wrestled"?...it sounds a bit odd, can you re-word or re-phrase the sentence?
- Done — practised wrestling.
- Hughes went to college at Southwestern Illinois College, a two-year college located in Belleville - college, college and college. 3 time college. Better like this: Hughes went to Southwestern Illinois College located in Belleville for higher studies,
- Done
- Either remove Early career or MMA debut. Keeping both is merely useless as there are no other sub-sections.
- Done
- "You are the greatest champion of all time" - was that all that Dana told? Please add a bit more.
- Done — It is the only quote in my source. I think the whole frase is still relevant.
- File:UFC_60_poster.jpg is non-free so remove this image from the article ASAP.
- Done
- UFC Hall of Famer - Famer? Please re-word
- In a lot of websites, from ESPN to Fox Sports or Sherdog, the UFC hall of fame inductees are refered as to Hall of Famers
- I put: ...is an American mixed martial artist, UFC Hall of Fame inductee, and former two-time UFC Welterweight Champion.
- Done
- I put: ...is an American mixed martial artist, UFC Hall of Fame inductee, and former two-time UFC Welterweight Champion.
- A long-time member of Miletich Fighting Systems, Hughes left the Miletich camp in late 2007 to start Team Hughes. - there is nothing about this in the article. Whatever in the lead should be covered up later so please add up two or three lines regarding this in the article.
- Done — In fact, it is actually covered in the section Return.
- Refs in the lead - no need to use refs in the lead if the topic is covered later so remove them if possible (this is optional)
- Done — It is optional.
- born October 13, 1973 - ref?
- Done
- Please make mentions of Autobiography and Trophy Hunters TV in the lead as lead should be summary of the article
- The last issue remains about lack of refs in the claims stated previously. Once done, I believe that this is a GA.

I'm currently using 64-bit Windows 7, I have not encountered any problem like this.
I have a Radeon Sapphire HD 6850 series graphics card accompanied by 4 GB of physical ram with virtual memory set on.
The DWM.exe service runs perfectly fine upon start-up and has an average memory usage of about 30-45MB. (Working Set Memory. Not the Private Working value)
However, upon minimizing any windows, the DWM.exe skyrockets from 30-45MB to approximately around 1GB worth of active memory use. However, if the window is an explorer window, it also skyrockets explorer.exe to around 1GB aswell, consuming about 3.14GB worth of physical memory until the window in question is un-minimized. (If multiple windows are minimized, it increases the physical memory usage 1GB per window, exceeding the amount of avaliable RAM and eventually just killing DWM.exe.)
If DWM.exe has been disabled (or manually shut-down), the system works perfectly, no abnormality memory use by explorer.exe when programs have minimized.
Is the DWM.exe program corrupted? Any way to fix this problem without disabling it permanently?
Before Minimizing an application:
After Minimizing an application:
Those are most definitely not normal numbers... To clarify, I do not have any external explorer programs in use; the only thing on my computer is Advanced System Care 5, Catalystic Control Center (AMD), Skype, Chrome, Smart Defrag, and Windows 7.
I've un-installed, re-installed Catalyst (Reverted it to an older version), nothing changed. DWM.exe still skyrockets in the Working Set (Memory) department. (Above pictures)

Politics Craig Backed by… Barney Frank?
posted by August 30 at 13:25 PMon
I'm not sure if this helps the Senator from Idaho hang onto his job, but Barney Frank is behind him and tossing out great quotes as usual…
WASHINGTON - Rep. Barney Frank says embattled Idaho Sen. Larry Craig is a hypocrite on gay rights issues, but he doesnt think the Republican senator should resign.
Franks comments, made in a telephone interview Wednesday with The Associated Press, came as some Republican lawmakers, including Sen. John McCain of Arizona, called on Craig to step down after being caught in a mens room undercover police operation.
But Frank, one of two openly gay members of Congress and a prominent voice on gay rights, said Craig should serve out the remainder of his term. The third-term senator is up for re-election next year.
"What he did, its hypocritical, but its not an abuse of his office in the sense that he was taking money for corrupt votes," said Frank, D-Mass. "I think people should resign when they have clearly done the job in a way that is dishonest."
Added Frank: "Its one thing to say that someone cant be trusted to vote without being corrupt, its another to say that he cant be trusted to go to the bathroom by himself."

Many county high school players this spring were selected by conference coaches to all-conference teams. Below are the selections.
Three West players made All-Mideastern Conference.
Senior second baseman Wally Kamfolt batted .434 (second highest on the team) and had 30 RBIs (best on the team). He led the team in doubles (10) and had 33 hits (second most on the team).
Senior catcher Josh Powell batted a team-high .436 and had the most hits (34) and second-most RBIs (28).
South Brunswick High School is the Waccamaw 2-A/1-A Conference Wachovia Cup champion after taking league titles in men's golf, women's track and soccer.
The Wachovia Cup award, sponsored by Wachovia and the N.C. High School Athletic Association, recognizes high schools that achieve the best overall interscholastic athletic performance within each of the state's four competitive classifications. Wachovia, a Wells Fargo company, has sponsored the conference awards program since 1980.
LELAND—Two home runs helped give New Hanover Post 10 a 7-0 lead as it went on to beat Brunswick County Post 68 14-4 in eight innings Monday night at North Brunswick High School.
A three-run home run in the first off pitcher Brock Holmes gave Post 10 a 3-0 lead. In the second, a single, a sacrifice bunt and two singles scored a run. With two outs, Post 10 went ahead 7-0 on a three-run home run.
Josh Powell cut the lead to 7-1 in the bottom of the second when he led off with a home run to right field.
Chad McCumbee finished 25th in the Camping World Truck Series Milwaukee Mile over the weekend in West Allis, Wis.
McCumbee began the race 11th and ran in the top 15 during the opening laps. The truck was tight handling in the turns, then McCumbee was spun by another truck, losing two laps.
A caution on lap 55 allowed McCumbee to make up one lap. Following a caution on lap 142 of the 200-lap event, McCumbee started 17th, one lap down.
When insurance rates were approved last December, 43 of North Carolina's 100 counties saw increased rates. Residents of Brunswick, Carteret, New Hanover, Onslow and Pender counties, saw their insurance rates increase between 17.5 and 29.8 percent.
The other 57 counties, including Charlotte, Gaston, Mecklenburg and Union Counties, saw a decrease between 4 and 6 percent.
After experiencing virtually no growth during 2008, the local economy of Brunswick, New Hanover and Pender counties is forecast to expand by approximately 1 percent during 2009 and 3 percent during 2010.
William W. "Woody" Hall Jr., senior economist with the Center for Business and Economic Services at the University of North Carolina Wilmington's Cameron School of Business, announced his economic predictions Tuesday at UNCW.
HOLDEN BEACH—Town commissioners have approved a $12.27 million budget for fiscal year 2009-2010 that keeps the same tax rate and water fees.
The board unanimously approved the budget town manager David Hewett presented Tuesday night at a special meeting at town hall.
The budget keeps the current tax rate of 6.9 cents per $100 of property valuation. The town has a current tax base of $2.211 billion, down about $20 million over the previous year due to property owner's appeals of their assessments.
We've all done it—on the way to work, in a hurry, when we see flashing blue lights up ahead. Somebody's been caught speeding and instinctively you hit the brake and slow down so you won't be next.
If you happen to have lead feet, then you may have even gotten caught a time—or four.
For many of us, tickets are what we think of first when we think of state troopers. But the truth is they do so much more than issue speeding tickets.
Reel Time, captained by Samuel T. Rees of Southport, won the Yellowfin-OIFC.com Jolly Mon King Classic, catching a 38.15-pound king mackerel Father's Day. Including tournaments within the tournament, the crew won $25,980.
Reel Time also finished first in the 23-foot boat division. Another member of the boat, Samantha Nowell, finished first in the ladies' division.
The two-day tournament attracted competitors on 305 boats and took place Saturday and Father's Day. Capt Brant McMullan of the Ocean Isle Fishing Center organized the event.
Samuel Rees and crew members Preston Nowell, Chad Malpass, Samantha Nowell and Jessica Rees of the Reel Time arrived to the Jolly Mon weigh-in at the Ocean Isle Fishing Center on Sunday afternoon with a smile on their face. Capt. Samuel Rees deferred from taking the fish out the fish bin for pictures, citing he "knew it was going to be close."

GRAPEVINE (September 4, 2013)--An upgraded payment system for drivers leaving Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport went online Wednesday a more than a week later than originally scheduled.
Airport officials launched the new automated parking control system Wednesday.
It registers vehicles driving in and out of the complex.
The system was to go online starting on Aug. 26, but was delayed by transition issues.
Airport spokesman David Magana said the upgraded system should reduce wait times to enter and exit.
Entry lanes and most exit lanes are now automated.
Drivers will be able to process their own transactions quickly with a North Texas Toll Authority TollTag or a credit card as they exit the airport.
Several booths will still be staffed with cashiers at the north and south airport exit plazas.

Larry Pratt Glad Members Of Congress Have A 'Healthy Fear' Of Being Shot
Speaking with Cincinnati radio host Bill Cunningham on Sunday, Gun Owners of America director Larry Pratt delightedly told a second-hand story about of a member of his group lobbying a congresswoman, who reportedly told the GOA member, "You want to shoot me, don't you."
Pratt said he didn't think this man actually wanted to shoot the congresswoman, but added, "that's probably a healthy fear for them to have."
"You know, I'm kind of glad that's in the back of their minds," he said. "Hopefully they'll behave."
Cunningham: Larry Pratt of Gun Owners, why does the media have such a bias against the Second Amendment?
Pratt: They, I think they might understand what it's real purpose is. And its real purpose is to serve as a restraint on government abuse. And since they want to be involved in government abuse, they kind of take it personally, I think. The Second Amendment is intended for people just like them – or perhaps we could say, like Piers Morgan – those who were born to rule and we were born to be ruled. And for us to have guns kind of upsets that order of things that they think ought to be. So I think they take it very personally.
I was told of a conversation that one of our members had had with a member of Congress. And he was lobbying on a gun issue, but he was, I knew the guy well enough to know that almost certainly he was mild-mannered, he was just explaining our position. And apropos of nothing, the congressman – congresswoman, actually – said, 'You want to shoot me, don't you.'
Well, that's probably a healthy fear for them to have, even though that's not the guy's – he wasn't saying anything about that, it wasn't in his demeanor. But you know, I'm kind of glad that's in the back of their minds. Hopefully they'll behave.

I have had a great deal of success using Weka for data exploration and deciding what classification algorithm is best for my problem. Now that I have a trained model that works, I would like to integrate it into the rest of my C++ program. Unfortunately, this seems like a difficult task: only Weka has native support for exporting classifiers as Java object files. Has anyone found a way to export Weka-trained model parameters in a useful format?
I would be particularly interested if there is a utility that generates C/C++ code from a J48 decision tree.

Dow Suffers a Triple-Digit Drop Amid Syria Headlines
"Today was all about Syria and potential U.S. military
involvement. Nearly every major sector finished deep in the red
after an increase in uncertainty surrounded the market," said
Schaeffer's Senior Equity Analyst Joe Bell, CMT. "The
S&P 500 Index (SPX)
is now trading at its lowest level since early July." Similarly,
Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI)
took a major tumble, and finished with a triple-digit loss.
Continue reading for more on today's market, including :
- In light of today's Syria-induced pullback, Schaeffer's Senior Trading Analyst Bryan Sapp is watching the 1,600 level on the S&P 500 Index (SPX) .
- Despite some negative price action, Apple ( AAPL ) attracted both call sellers and buyers, both of whom targeted the $500 level.
- Tesla Motors ( TSLA ) option bulls wagered on extended upside by this Friday's close.
- Home prices increased in June, consumer confidence climbed
higher in August, and Qihoo 360 Technology (
) enjoyed some upbeat analyst attention.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI - 14,776.13) dropped right out of the gate and kept on falling (a few short-lived blips higher notwithstanding). By the close, the blue-chip bellwether shed 170.3 points, or 1.1%, suffering its lowest daily close since June 25. Coca-Cola ( KO ) led the Dow's two advancers with a modest gain of 0.1%, while Bank of America ( BAC ) and Microsoft (MSFT) paced the 28 decliners with a drop of 2.6% each.
The S&P 500 Index (SPX - 1,630.48) followed a similar path, and finished 26.3 points, or 1.6%, lower -- its worst close since July 3. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite (COMP - 3,578.52) tumbled 79.1 points, or 2.2%.
Conversely, the CBOE Market Volatility Index (VIX - 16.77) spent the entire session in the black, touching an intraday peak of 17.13 and closing at its highest point since June 28. In the end, the "fear barometer" gained 1.8 points, or 11.9%.
A Trader's Take :
"There wasn't a whole lot to be happy about today, as stocks have struggled to rebound, and treasuries continue to receive a lot of money flowing to the safety trade," remarked Bell. "As a result, many rate-sensitive stocks like telecom and utilities took leadership roles today."
3 Things to Know About Today's Market :
- Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told the BBC today that the U.S. is "ready to go," should President Barack Obama order action against Syria in response to the country's recent use of chemical weapons. Reports from NBC News said that the U.S. military could launch a three-day missile strike against the region as soon as Thursday. According to the White House, the strike would be meant to send a message to the Syrian government, as opposed to hindering its military. (CNBC)
- The S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index rose 2.2% in June, compared to May's increase of 2.5%. On a year-over-year basis, home-price growth climbed 12.1% in June, slightly down from the previous month's surge of 12.2% -- the latter of which marked the fastest annual pace since 2006. (MarketWatch)
- The Conference Board said its consumer confidence index arrived at 81.5 in August -- up from July's revised reading of 81, and topping the consensus view. Also, although nearly 68% of respondents said they expected a continued increase in interest rates, the latest figure reflected a decrease from July's multi-year high of 71%. (Bloomberg)
5 Stocks We Were Watching Today :
- China-based Qihoo 360 Technology ( QIHU ) snagged an upgrade just days after reporting stronger-than-expected quarterly earnings.
- The SPDR Gold Trust's (ETF) (NYSEARCA:GLD) positive price action didn't deter one trader from selling a block of November-dated calls.
- Weekly call buyers and sellers converged on Netflix (NFLX) , with both groups eyeing the $300 mark.
- Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) saw a surge in put volume, as one trader used December options to construct a bearish spread on the stock.
- Speculators had a change of heart toward QUALCOMM (QCOM) and scooped up September-dated put options.
For a look at today's options movers and commodities activity, head to page 2.
Commodities :
Crude futures surged, as tensions regarding a potential U.S. missile attack on Syria pushed oil to an 18-month peak. By the time the dust settled, October-dated oil spiked $3.09, or 2.9%, to close at $109.01 per barrel. It was black gold's first close above the $109-per-barrel mark since February 2012.
Likewise, today's headlines bolstered gold futures' safe-haven appeal, with the malleable metal notching its highest finish since mid-May. December-dated gold gained $27.10, or 2%, to end at $1,420.20 an ounce.

W&L Eagles lose to Rappahannock Raiders
- Details
- Last Updated on Wednesday, 05 February 2014 10:37
- Published on Wednesday, 05 February 2014 00:15
- Hits: 2207
Red-hot Treshaun Brown continued his torrid scoring pace Friday, as the W&L boys' basketball team battled Rappahannock, but the effort fell short as the Raiders narrowly handed the Eagles their second Northern Neck District loss of the season, 57 to 56.
"Treshaun Brown gave all he had, scoring 32 points, but had a few costly turnovers late, only because he wanted the game so much, and he pressed himself," said Washington & Lee Coach George Hunter.
Brown hit three three-pointers to keep the Eagles in the tight game which saw W&L up by one 15 to 14 at the end of the first quarter, tied with the Raiders at the half at 23 all and tied at the end of the third quarter at 39 in the game played at Rappahannock.
"Milan Bullock seemed to be the only other player that came to play adding 10 points and 10 rebounds," said Hunter. "The snow causing us not to practice has really hurt us the last couple of games, but I am sure we will bounce back. My boys just have to get that fire back."
For the Raiders, Marcus Byrd had 21 points and Kelvamte Ellia had 12 points. No other players on either team were in double figures.
W&L is now 8-5 for the season and 4-2 in the conference and has four games remaining: Colonial Beach away on the Feb. 5, Essex at home on the 7th, Lancaster at home on the 13th and Northumberland at home on the 14th.

Palatine Honored with Safety Spike Award
Posted February 19, 2014 01:00 PM CDT
Share This!
From left: Palatine Mayor Jim Schwantz, Officer Mike Myerson, Officer Bryce Baker, Chief John Koziol, UP Police Division Director Jack Harris, UP Commuter Operations Director of Road Operations L.T. Griffin, and UP Public Affairs Director Adrian Guerrero.
The Palatine Police Department of the Village of Palatine, Ill., is dedicated to serve and protect. And they've been successful - being named last year by a neighborhood relocation company as one of the 100 Safest Cities in America.
This year, the department received the Union Pacific Safety Spike Award in recognition of going above and beyond the call of duty to promote railroad safety in their community.
Their extraordinary efforts in promoting and enforcing railroad crossing and pedestrian safety got the attention of Adrian Guerrero, Union Pacific director - Public Affairs for the Chicago area, who presented the award to Palatine's Mayor Jim Schwantz and Chief of Police John Koziol, on Feb. 3. The Police Department also was awarded one of 21 UP CARES safety grants that the railroad presents for community-owned railroad safety initiatives across its 23-state operating system.
"We're proud of the strong partnership we have with the community of Palatine," said Guerrero, "They've taken the initiative to educate their citizens and commuters, and working with UP Police and Public Safety groups, they've conducted a number of safety blitzes to help reinforce that education."
Ranging from $500 to $5,000, UP CARES safety grants support initiatives developed by community organizations to enhance and promote railroad safety through activities tailored for their communities. The Palatine Police Department, Palatine received the grant for driver and pedestrian education, and rail safety enforcement and educational outreach at grade crossings and commuter stations.

THE TERMS defibrination syndrome1 and consumption coagulopathy2 have been used to describe the condition manifested clinically by an abnormal bleeding tendency and involving decreased fibrinogen, platelets, factor II (prothrombin), factor V (proaccelerin), and factor VIII (antihemophilic globulin). This entity has been associated with numerous clinical conditions including sepsis,1 extensive surgery and secondary bleeding,1 hemolysis,2 abruptio placentae,3 and neoplasms.4 Review articles1,2 on the defibrination syndrome do not cite dissecting aneurysm as an associated condition.
We have observed a patient with a dissecting aneurysm of the aorta who had coagulation defects suggestive of the defibrination syndrome. This report appears to be the first case study associating dissecting aneurysm with coagulation defects.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. hates it. Mark Martin loves it.
Other drivers say it doesn't really matter how they feel about this quirky tandem racing.
"It's just the way it is," Jeff Gordon said. "If you want to be good and have a shot at winning, then you have to learn how to do it well."
This new form of restrictor-plate racing, a bizarre two-by-two show where lining up in pairs is the fastest way to get around the track, will continue Saturday night in the Coke Zero 400.
"I think this will be the way we race on restrictor-plate tracks for the foreseeable future," said Brad Keselowski. "It's an evolutionary period in our sport."
Fans seem to be divided about their feelings on it along with the drivers, who run the gamut from thinking it's cool to believing it stinks.
The fewer laps of pairing up the better for Earnhardt. When the rain-delayed practice session started Thursday night at Daytona International Speedway, Earnhardt opted just to watch at first, standing atop the No. 88 Chevy hauler.
Earnhardt and Jimmie Johnson eventually came on the track together and worked on their tandem, with Johnson pushing Earnhardt most of the practice session.
"That'd be fine if he pushed me all the way to the end of the race," Earnhardt said afterward.
It was Earnhardt who pushed Johnson to victory at Talladega in April, taking one for the team, so to speak. That didn't help Earnhardt have fond feelings about this style of plate racing.
He was asked at Sonoma last week what his favorite track was coming up on the schedule: "Whatever one comes after Daytona," he said.
Earnhardt elaborated on his feeling about the tandem racing before practice Thursday.
"I'd rather have control of my own destiny," he said. "Just be able to go out there and race and do my own work and worry about my own self."
Nice idea, but that's never been completely true in the restrictor-plate era. Winning always has required lining up with other cars in the draft; you just didn't do it in pairs.
Martin is one old pro who prefers pairing up to racing in a 30-car pack.
"I can honestly say that I like this style of racing way better," Martin said. "There is just so much more that goes into this. It's finding the right partner, finding which one is better at pushing or being pushed. There's got to be so much trust there.
"And then your spotters have to be working together. It's mentally tough. That's one of the reasons I like it so much. There is a huge challenge that goes into this style of racing that we don't typically see every weekend. I know it's a lot to get used to, but I love it."
So what is good and what is not so good about this form of plate racing? Here's the short list, starting with three good things:
Less chance of the big wreck -- The cars are spread out, running two-by-two. Wrecks still happen, but it's not likely to cause a huge chain reaction involving 15 to 20 cars, as often was the case in pack racing.
More passing up front -- The Daytona 500 in February set track records with 74 lead changes among 22 different drivers. However, some fans see those numbers as artificial since the tandems swap positions to keep the engines cool.
More strategy -- This pairs racing takes a lot of precise communication and coordination between drivers, spotters and crew chiefs, a rare and interesting situation where drivers are talking on the radio to drivers and spotters from other teams.
This includes making the position flip-flop with your partner at the right moment to try to lose as little time as possible. The cars slow down when they get side-by-side to swap spots.
Now for three bad things:
More difficult for the pusher to win at the end -- When cars are running in pairs, the guy in the back at the end of the race is at a disadvantage. That wasn't true in the old style of plate racing.
The No. 2 guy could get out of line and hope a few cars in the pack would follow him to push him to the front. There's less chance of that happening when the cars are two-by-two. Plus, there's a feeling of obligation if a driver is pushing a teammate.
More chance of engines overheating -- The engine of the push car heats up quickly because it isn't getting much air into the front grill. The pusher will slide his car slightly out to the right to try to get more air.
This comes with risks. Teams put a lubricant on the front and rear bumpers of the cars to help them slide, but it's easy to hook the front car if the pusher isn't careful.
And the pusher can't see a darn thing in front of him, so he's totally reliant on the lead driver to guide him to a safe spot on the track.
It just looks weird -- Seeing the cars run all race in pairs makes it look like some crazy form of doubles competition. Then again, racing 30 cars together in three lines all at the same speed doesn't really look normal, either.
Tandem racing versus pack racing. Both are unusual, both have inherent dangers, and both can produce some of the best finishes you could ever hope to see.
But pack racing is gone for now. It's a pair-up world in plate racing. What you see is what you get.

This is becoming a daily reoccurence for me. It is like a very sharp pain centralized under my right breast. I'm assuming it is from muscles expanding and growing with the baby. I'm 21 weeks along. Anyone else experiencing this or know more about it?
Sharp Pain under right breast (rib cage area)...anyone else feeling this?
Comments (9)
I had a pain right under my right ribs (not exactly sure where you mean) from about 20 weeks on during my last pregnancy. SO annoying. But very common.

Is there a specific time it is worse and it is centralized or does it spread to like your back?

I would say probably worse at night but I feel it during the day too. Its like I need to lay down and relieve some stress off my ribs or something. And yea my back does hurt with it too but the worst part is there under my right breast, right above where my bump is. I'm sure it is growing pains too. Oh so uncomfortable.
I have this, was going to ask my OB about it Wednesday. Mine feels like someone is sticking me with a hot poker and it's always in the same spot on my left side.
It kind of sounds a little like galbladder issues. I had galbladder attacks which were worse after eating esp anything with grease and usually after my night time meal until they progressed to all day. It would start right under my left breast and shoot into my back. Laying down helped in the beginning and it got to the point I was living in my tub during them. The heat helped so much.

I have the same on my left side. Glad to know it isn't unusual.

I had a real sharp pain Thurs night and my belly was hard in that spot. I asked the midwife about it on Fri and she showed me that the top of my uterous was up that high and that the baby probably just scooted over there and was leaning up against something. The pain went away after about 4-5 minutes or so.

I just found this comment. Not sure if you still check this but I'm having a similar pain under my right breast, kinda in the middle right of my abdomen. it started a few weeks ago and in the beginning only hurt late in the day but now I"m waking up with the pain and going to bed with the pain. Did you ever find out what it was? I'm 20 weeks right now with twins.
I have an apt. in two days but I'm just worried.
