Silva's Camp Eyeing Fight with Rockhold, not Weidman or Lombard
Following UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva's defeat of #1 contender Chael Sonnen at UFC 148, the MMA universe has been abuzz over who the 37-year-old Brazilian will face next.
Fuel TV's "UFC Tonight" recently reported that Silva's camp is more inclined to a showdown with 10-1 Strikeforce Middleweight Champion Luke Rockhold than anyone else. Rockhold is coming off a successful title defense against Tim Kennedy this past weekend.
Citing an unnamed source within Silva's management, "UFC Tonight" reported that Silva's camp isn't high on a fight with either incoming UFC middleweight Hector Lombard, who faces Tim Boetsch this weekend at UFC 149, or fellow middleweight Chris Weidman, who systematically dismantled top five opponent Mark Muñoz at the recent UFC on Fuel TV event.
"One of Anderson Silva's managers said that one of the issues with Hector Lombard is he thinks he needs at least three more impressive wins in the UFC. He said that 85 percent of UFC fans don't even know who Hector Lombard is, who is of course making his Octagon debut on Saturday night.
"As for Chris Weidman, he said, 'Well, there's another great unknown fighter.' He doesn't see those matchups as being money making pay-per-view events.
"He did mention Luke Rockhold, who is the Strikeforce middleweight champion. Alas, Rockhold is contractually tied to Strikeforce, so that fight's not happening. We'll have to wait and see, but right now, the Anderson Silva camp is not too excited about the options out there."
Who do you think should be Anderson Silva's next opponent?

when and where was this picture taken?! He looks like a war refugee from Africa or something LOL
It was from a commercial they did.
Its a photo take of Sonnens bandwagon after UFC 148.
That's cool…But Silva is a known Cheater now…ROFL…
Wrestlingrules you are such a nerd.
That could be true, how doed it feel for me to school you on this forum and school you on the mat and school you anywhere?? How do feel getting schooled by a "nerd"?? Don't you got anything better to argue about?? Your challenges are weak…lol..
Wrestlingrules , I don't think anyone was challenging you. Get a life. Troll.
and now your known as a crybaby…. ROFL…
Not cryin' my man..just stating FACTS!!! Do you consider greasing cheating? FACT. Do you consider holding shorts to create leverage cheating? FACT. Do you consider holding the cage to prevent being taken down cheating? FACT Do you consider a knee to a downed opponent cheating? FACT. So what is your point @momo?
I know and I'm good with it. Just stating facts that Silva is a cheater, greased, holding shorts, cage holding and illegal knee, not too mention the cheap shot shoulder sucker punch the day before. I;m cool with Sonnen losing. Are you cool with Silva being a cheater??
And Wrestling does not sux balls. Wrestling Rules!!!!
besides if you watch the fight he was wiped off by the ref prior to the start. I agree Chael lost!!!!! Back to the bottom like everyone else. get off his nuts cough them up and move on.
wrestling rules is a Fonzanoon! AS won the fight Fact! the knee was not called illegal therefore legal Fact! Chael admitted he grabbed AS shorts as well and it's part of the game Fact! your effn to stupid to be a nerd
I usually don't agree with wrestling rules but that knee was illegal. That's from an unbiased perspective. A large part of the leg smacked straight into his chin causing him to
Bite his tongue and have stitches. Yes the knee hit the chest but his thigh "struck" the chin at high velocity with forethought and intent. Definitely a strike to the head of a downed opponent.
WrestlingRules, where's your cunt 'keep fitch' to back you up? That cunt troll is usually lodged up your ass whenever you post something
Did the ref wipe anderson off w/a towel before the fight? Yes. FACT!
did anything significant happen that could've changed the fight after anderson grabbed the shorts? No. FACT!
watch the replay again, he kneed him in the chest. Thats legal, FACT!
this is what happened. Anderson WON the fight. FACT. quit bitching.
Thats perfect, the look on his face matches too lol!!! but it was from that budweiser commercial
Weidman would be a tough fight for silva it should happen. Lombard needs to earn his stripes in the UFC before he gets a shot.
Silva only had one fight in the UFC
that's true! silva only had one fight when he got his title shot! i think they're scared of the big threat that lombard represents…
He was also a pride champion back when it was better than the ufc
No he wasn't. He was Shooto champ, and Cage Rage champ. But he was 3-1 in Pride. He was good back then, but nowhere near how good he is now. Having followed Lombard and Silva in their early career, I can honestly say that apart from their fighting styles, they were both cut from the same cloth. So I wouldn't be surprised if Lombard beats Silva. I couldn't put money on that fight though. Way too close. lol
yeah it's true,but at that time there were no other threats for franklin either…no other contenders besides silva and although the fans of the ufc may have not heard of silva,he had a name in a better organization than lombard does,and trust me pride had a hell of a lot better fighters then,than bellator does now
In addition to that he made a SERIOUS statement in that 1st fight. Lombard needs to make a statement to be considered in my opinion.
AS had one fight true but won in devistating fashion and if you knew anything about MMA other than the UFC you would know that AS resume was a lot better than that Cuban steroid machine and weidman barely out struck DM whose striking sucks and he beat Munoz who is overrated coming off an injury and looked out of shape..I hate UFC nuthuggers who don't know shit other than what Dana white and joe Rogan say..
I love Silva but i hate when he dodges the number one contender like he did to Chael Sonnen and Vitor Belfort, I think he knows Hector would probably be the toughest test of his career.
Hector Lombard will be such an easy fight for AS. Silva is a counterstriker and he does best against aggresive styles. If you've seen Hector lombard fights thats exactly what he has. an aggresive style. True that hector is a very good judo practitioner but AS would most definately find thousand of openenings in lombards style and would KO him pretty fast. Ofc anythign can happen but if you know a little about mma you would know that that is most likely to happen.
Weidman will get knocked the fuck out ……..What are you thinking?
Why should he be able to pick and choose who he fights? He should be forced to fight the #2 guy, makes sense to me..
+ 2
I agree Chael lost to Anderson who was #2 and Mark Munoz was #3 according to basically every ranking. No one had anything bad to say about Chris Weidman before he beat Munoz and then once he did everyone tries to discredit him by saying Munoz wasn't a good fighter anyway which is pathetic. Weidman is #2 and Anderson needs to fight him.
Before we get too giddy over Weidmans victory over Munoz, we should keep in mind the fact that Munoz was coming off an injury. Fighting a healthier Munoz could possibly yield a different result… maybe not. My point being, lets see Weidman fight another top tier guy before getting too crazy about his chances as a top contender. Let him fight Bisping… or better yet… Belfort. A fight with Belfort would show us ALL plenty regarding who belongs where in the rankings.
How about we all get off Weidmans duck so he can get back to fight his way to the top? He fought the worst looking fighter I've seen in Munoz. Weidman isnt ready for Anderson. He's got to fight at least twice more before he should even think about fighting Anderson. This is why UFC should assimilate with Strikeforce. That way we would have people ready for a title fight. MW is cleared out, LHW is almost there, WW is getting better and lets not even get started on the LWs.
Well said.
Who said Silva's camp was picking the fights? They stated an opinion and that's fine. However, the UFC picks the fights for the UFC champions. Not the champions themselves.
Yeah he is the champion it should be people calling him out because they think they are worthy of a shot. Then the UFC figures out who they think is worthy. This is just backwards how his management tries to pick and choose who Silva fights.
There isn't a current number 2 guy, that's the whole point. Chael was the only one making any kind of name for himself in a big way, everyone else now needs to generate some hype.
He's obviously interested in the strikeforce champion because there's already hype which equals money, but he can't have that fight.
Once again "the champ" is calling out challengers…this guy should shut up and fight. Btw, did Anderson forget that he himself got a shot at the title with only 1 fight in the UFC when he was "virtually unknown"? Why wont he afford challengers the same shot he had? Sonnen was right about this guy…
Anderson ducks threats 24/7, he knows Lombard has his number, any fearless grappler with striking ability will beat him unless they make a mistake.
Chael got caught in a sub and then slipped and got TKO'd in the second fight, where did Silva dominate to get those victories? He was winning only about 30 seconds of the 35 minutes he fought Chael.
The 35 seconds that he beat Chael Sonnen in led to 2 victories. "He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious. – Sun Tzu"
Look facts on why silva is not ducking anyone:
Forrest was suppose to be a big challenge : silva ended it quick
Maia gets it to the ground silva loses – silva taunted maia the whole fight
Sonnen toughest fite gets submitted and tkod
Vitor is best striker against silva – gets k.o with a kick.
Okami wresling and power will do the damage – gets k.o in the second round.
weidman good wrestler with okay striking – what does silva have to fear? not a big name and only 9 wins?
Bisping has lost to chael ,henderson and silva beat both
lombard is making his ufc debut? – not really a threat yet – we ll see this weekend.
so who has he ducked everytime he has a challenger he destroys them
Well said leo
^^^^ This.
Lombard's Judo will put him on the ground from the clinch, and his striking is feared by Silva.
Well Said!
Yeah, Lombard should have 3 more impressive victories first. How convenient for AS. Just in time for him to retire so he doesnt have to face Lombard.
Luke Rockhold? What?
Your an idiot, Silva went into the toughest fighting organization and destroyed what they called a "tough" fighter in less then a minute. making it look absolutely so easy, im pretty sure he was well known after that also Lombard really needs to prove himself in good fashion we shouldnt say he should get a title shot if he wins against boetsch, what if it goes to decision and is very unimpressive should he still get one? No. Also quit talking about sonnen, hes old news who makes excuses for his loss because all he can do is talk, Clearly you and the other sonnen fans are still whining.
Forget excuses about Sonnen there isnt a excuse but there is cheating on andersons part rubbing vasaline on his body and arms before the second fight and whats with the grabbing shorts? haha it is Anderson who needs the excuses not Chael so infact Alex you are the Idiot.
So did you forget the part where the ref wiped it off and Chael still got the takedown in under 4 seconds? Or the part where Chael was grabbing his shorts too? Leeeet me guess. Your next complaint is about the mysterious illegal knee.
Silva vs weidman make it happen you could do that fight now or you would have to wait for someone to get some wins cause no one in that devision has that many impresive victories in the ufc right now.
and who the hell is this Rockhold chump?? Some nobody that had a title defense against keith jardine & some other kennedy guy. Jardine lost to Houston Alexander who in turn lost to Kimbo… Shows how much talent he has in the cage huh??
Wait a second….He would rather fight an unproven middleweight of STRIKEFORCE over top talent from the UFC?…Sounds like a champion mentallity to me. *Note the sarcasm*
Has he not beat every single contender in the UFC? Some more than once. It seems to me that he has to look outside the UFC to find someone worth his time at the moment, because apparently the number 2 contenders in the UFC aren't up to the challenge. Also it is just an opinion of who he would like to fight. In my opinion I would love to fight Anderson myself, but I would be destroyed and the fight will never happen. Doesn't mean I wouldn't like to fight him.
Hell yeah!! I'd fight silva too as long as there was a referee!!! I'd probably no doubt get my ass whooped but it would be an honor and at least he couldn't kill me with a triangle choke like he could have did to SONNEN if it were on the street. Sonnen wouldn't have had a second chance. Understand people?
You dumb shit, on the street he would have been shot in the head with a .45. You Understand?? Fantasy Boy, non of this shit happens in the street!! This is a professional fighting league with rules!! I told you to quit preaching hypocrite or I'll come find you.
Wrestling does not rule. Unless you wanna lay and prey. Yes, I would like you to seek me out. 1791 Hillsdale Ave.
San Jose, CA 95124
You sound like a key board cowboy.
F-ing wrestlers to stupid to quit while their not ahead.
Give me a name?? Just ask for NuitariX and I'll find you. Son-in-law of the year!! Wrestling Does Rule!!!
Yeah guns are the unfortunite outcome of some street fights.. But your completly oblivious if you think that all you need is a 45.Both my dad and my brother carry guns everywhere they go, but they arent always beside them if they needed them.. Thats why i train in Krav Maga too, learnin gun and knife disarms, and how to effectivly use a knife and the mentalitly of survival at any cost.. Im not surprised at all on your view of real life altercations, because wrestling can get you killed in the streets.. if the guys got a buddy, or for me, you put me on my back my fingers are goin stright thru your someones eyes….
you don't die from a triangle choke. you pass the f out. so I think I might take you up on that offer. I'll find some free time from training here in GA and lets put some cash on it so I can take your wife out to dinner afterward and get my winners bj.
you CAN die from one, but rarely. It has killed before but if done correctly and without using absolute malice and continuous hold for a very extensive period of time you will just pass the f out.
Supposedly* arent up to the challenge. Anderson would like to fight Rockhold because its an assured victory. Its obvious Silva doesnt like fighting with his back on the mat, I can see why, and Weidman just happens to be a wrestler. Let Dana and Lorenzo decide whats best for the UFC and what match ups will work best in the cage. Do Not let your team hand pick the easiest win for you.
Maybe its also because Rockhold was talking shit about Silva? Which did happen!
How convenient for Silva to challenge a guy he more then likely knows he can't fight. While trying to discredit the next closes competitors.
its his camp douchebag, when anderson says it they put "anderson silva doesnt etc etc"
like he says, there just not a lot of options. at this very moment there isnt. rockhold stuck in sf. weidman looks great, but rather see how he does against bisping or vitor b4 he gets a shot. chaels done. lombard in my eyes is kind of unknown. vitor is hurt. scratch all these matchups and make bisping vs weidman ufc 152.
yeah it definitely seems he's just choosing who he "doesn't" want to fight. Calls out a guy who is tied to another organization. Fight man, Lombard, Boetsch, Weidman or whoever actually deserves it, popularity aside. Let the promoters worry about the money because at this point I'm sure you've made enough. Keep proving yourself as the greatest..
He's at the end of his career and no longer needs to prove anything in this sport unless he has a super fight! He will go down as the best MW ever in MMA and also best fighter ever in MMA unless someone accomplishes more.. So why not try to get as much money as possible in your next couple fights then retire? Makes since to me, even though i would like to see him in one superfight before he retires! I saw BJ in a superfight, now would like to see Silva do it..
Damn u know franklin was mad as hell when silva came along, he wouldve held that belt for at least until vitor came along!
Who cares
Hey morons guess what? This isn't Anderson talking it's his management….so stop talking about him fucking fights or trying to pick his challengers
super fight champion vs champion……. jones vs silva….. bones vs the spider
Who is Anderson Silva again? isn't he that guy who – 1:Hasn't lost in the UFC in 6 years, 2:Has 10 title defenses, 3: has what is it 14-15 fight win streak. YEP that sounds like a guy "Running and Ducking" other fighters to me LOL LOL this isnt directed at anyone specific but if you don't like him for whatever reason I get it, Here are the actual facts NO ONE has those kind of Actual numbers of Dominance Period.
lets look at it like this. the 3 guys that took Silva down and held him there for a minute or 2, all of them got submitted in the ufc. Travis Lutter, remember him? had Andy mounted…what happened? TAPED to Elbows while trapped in a triangle. Dan Henderson, well held him down for 1 round and succumbed to a RNC in the second….and Chael "im an overrated roid head" Sonnen, how can we forget the 4 round domination of AS then getting caught in the 5th in a….u guessed it, TRIANGLE. then in his "redemption" fight, gets tko'd in the second. If you watched any of his earlier fights, its not a wrestler that is his kyptonite….its a Ju Jitsu practisioner….notice he didnt wanna goto the ground with Leites or Maia? both high lvl black belts in BJJ. Andy knows better. this new kid wont get him down and will end up on his highlight reel of KO/TKO's
Even though Rockhold is a champion in Strikeforce I can't imagine that many people that don't know anything about Weidman or Lombard would know who he is either, so I'm failing to see how that fight would be a bigger PPV draw than the other two. With Strikeforce events being held almost exclusively on a premium cable network in the US, I'd wager to guess that more casual fans have probably seen a UFC card with Weidman on it or caught Lombard fighting for Bellator on MTV2 than have seen a Rockhold fight.
You can promote this fight more by marketing it, "UFC champ vs. Strikeforce Champ" which can bring more money than Silva vs. Weidman or even Silva vs. Lombard(even though you can market this as long winning streaks) which better than a weidman fight!
Really? As impressive as Rockhold looked last weekend (better than he did in his previous fights), and I'm not sure if it's because he was fighting Jardine, I don't think he will be able to stand in their with Silva. Which makes me think 2 things, Silva's camp wants easier fights going into his last few fights. Or he wants to hold two titles from different promotions before he retires. Which would hold true to what he has always said, he wants his last fights to be significant fights that will permanently etch his name in MMA history.
Wow, gayyyy. Silva is really trying to pick and choose his opponents…. Is he really"for the fans?"
No,,,,No he's NOT…he's for Anderson "Hope" Silva..known cheater.
Jon Jones or Winner of Condit vs. GSP. Go for another belt!
Won't happen. He doesn't want to fight Jones and Jones doesn't want to fight him, and I doubt Silva can make welterweight and GSP won't go up in weight unless he has like 2 years to make the weight with muscle.
Damn are you a reporter? I had no idea they stated that
acutally all thats been said thru the media……
Whoa! Are you a reporter? I had no idea they stated that
Look dana said we will find out Saturday who will fight Anderson next! My guess is the winner of the lombard fight! And I think Anderson said rockhold because he called Silva a cheat after he whopped chael! That article is on here too!
He says he won't fight Lombard until he has 3 fights in the UFC…
…. Wants to fight Rockhold who has had 0 fights in the UFC….
Of course, Anderson also forgot to mention he got his title shot in his second UFC fight…
And there come the haters….
His management is just thinking out loud. If the UFC says fight Weidman or whoever he will fight him. They just hope the last few fights he has left will be big PPV draws.
So you're now for big PPV fights for your Silva boyfriend? Then the BIGGEST PPV would be Silva fighting Jones!!! But Silva already said Nope to that. The truth is that Silva has Always ducked tough fights and he wants to skate out with people he thinks he can beat. He didn't want to fight Sonnen the second time until White told him you can't say no because he has been mean to you!! Silva is a known cheater now and he is scared to fight threats. Plus his team is too. You know why???? Cuz, when he LOSES the gravy train ends!! There now you have the truth. It will set you FREE…..lmao..Silva zombies are so stooooopid.
Wrestlingrules you are the biggest Silva hater on this whole site. And the sad thing is that you are a knowledgeable mma fan. Why is it that you hate Silva? Or is it that you hate all strikers? Please don't tell me you hate Jose Aldo as well? He's shown solid takedowns and solid takedown defense, that should get your inner wrestler excited, and he finishes fights. Just curious man, not trying talk shit.
You know what Dude. You ask GREAT questions and deserve my complete respect and honest answers. I don't really hate anybody!! I believe we are all ONE and we are all brothers of the one race, the Human Race!! What I DO HATE are people's beliefs. So if I am guilty of anything it is I am guilty of hating bullshit BELIEFS. As far as Silva, I really respect his abilities and what he does. He probably has the STRONGEST mental game around. When he didn't give up in the first fight and locked in that triangle at the last minute from a stupid Sonnen, I KNEW he was strong and smart mentally. What I don't admire is his character. I believe he is an egotistical narcissist and he will be humbled. It's inevitable, But beyond that, I have noticed that there are many people on this forum who are just NOT savvy about Silva and don't see all his weaknesses. I am VERY GOOD at finding the mentally weak fanboys who can't argue and can't fight for their positions. It's the same on the mat. I fight all the time and easily beat these guys who are so full of fantasy and when I pick them up and show then how gravity works they crumble. I love crumbling shitty beliefs! I am guilty of that.
Do I hate striking? No! I have boxed longer than I have wrestled and I have been wrestling since I was 3!! I love striking but I also KNOW that wrestling and the transitions it brings set-ups good striking. It is the base of your power. Most of the wrestlers in the UFC right now are just now beginning to learn striking. I could go on and on. But there are wrestlers who are really good boxers and are getting good at the transitions and these are the new school that will dominate MMA in the next 5 years. There is a new wave building and it will change the way MMA will be fought. Can you imagine a nice striker like a Hominick or JDS that can immediately turn up a Sonnen take down in a quick transition from an awesome combo?? Then can Fitch the bitch out and really throw elbows and fists from top control. It's coming and take down defense isn't good enough. Weidman is part of this new breed. He has chosen the bjj route because of his gym and mentors. I personally think it is a mistake. Weidman had full mount on Munoz and all he tried were bjj cranks and couldn't finish them. Hasn't anybody told him that when you have dominate top control, you throw elbows and fists!!! BJJ is good how Silva used it or how Bj uses it. Silva threw one form a submissive position and got it and BJ usually beats em up for awhile then chokes them out in an offensive manner. I personally only use bjj in this manner. I am never on my back.
Aldo, and matter of fact, most of the Brazilians are beasts and I DO like them. They do have good takedown defense because that is about ALL they are training right now. But it won't be enough soon. You better have takedown offense to be the best. Look at Dos Anjos in his last fight, that bjj guy just became a wrestler and when he figures out top control dominance he may be a champ. It's coming.
I actually believe Aldo, maybe the real p4p best fighter out there. But he needs better competition and he seems to be taking the Silva path. Silva has always been in the weakest division in the UFC and Now 45 is the weakest division and he seems content on staying there. I wish he would go to 55 and see if he can win there. If he does then he is the real p4p.
But at the end of the day, IMO the GOAT and the p4p not only are good fighters, but are willing to fight anybody and have been champs in multiple divisions. So in my book there have been 3: Royce cuz he fought guys 100lbs heavier than him and BEAT everybody. Couture and BJ. These other guys need to fight threats.
So I do like challenging these guys on this forum and those smart enough to fight then let's see who wins!!
Crap this was long but I wanted to answer fully and honestly…HooRah…
Well said, and thank you brother, I respect your opinion.
Silva shows nothing but respect all the time, well he never did for sonnen but we all know why, now u say your not a fan of bullshit beliefs? Thats funny cause silva will go down as one of the most famous and humbble fighters ever!! So wat u have to say is bullshit!! Its funny how u dont bring in matt huges, sonnen, and all them other cocky ass wrestlers but got some fucking nerve talking about silva!! Wake the fuck up chump!!
good point about the three who would fight anyone anywhere at anytime!! i try to take after that mentality! As much as some people would hate to hear it you should throw Chael into that list.. Like he said everyone use to run for the hills when they saw Anderson Silva, but he was the one who was brave enough (or maybe dumb enough) to stick his finger in his chest and give him a challenge! AS probably loves Chael for that, because he was probably bored at the top of the mountain
No WrestlingRules hates Aldo, because Aldo showed wrestling is done in MMA.
He's always hoping Aldo will lose his next fight.
And WrestlingRules, You're very good at finding mentally weak fanboys? I'm constantly wiping the floor with you and your biased rants. Still you keep trying to take me on.
You're even posting bullshit under my name(Yes I found out it's you) because you want to be just like me.
It was you who claimed Silva's fans would come up with excuses after Sonnen would have beaten him. Well Silva annihilated Sonnen and here you are making excuses under every news article Silva's name is mentioned. No it's even worse, you even post excuses under articles with totally different subjects.
Wrestling is DONE in MMA! All strikers with a bit of takedown defense are murdering wrestlers in there!
If wrestling rules , why aren't there more wrestlers with belts?
Im not takin any sides on this, but i will say that you cant say one is better than the other.. ITS MMA WERE WATCHING!! When Badr Hari or Semmy Schilt fight the best HW wrestler in the world (whoever the fuck that is cuz IDGAF about straight up wrestling at all) until that happens its not striker vs grappler or what ever… Its MMA vs MMA.. and im a striker at heart, that is what my passion is, is kickboxing.. But if you sleep on wrestling it will bite you on the ass if your not ready for it… But you are right a guy like the Reem (boosted T or not) unbelivable striking with good TDD AND submissions, is the make of most champions.. But like i said thats still all 3 phases of the game
I see your point. I know there are useful wrestling techniques, takedowns and takedown defense.
Good takedown defense can keep the fight on the feet where one-dimensional LnP wrestlers like Mendes and Fitch eat knees and fists, if you want to take it to the ground, the wrestling takedowns are the best option to do that….Once the takedown is done BJJ comes into play to finish the job though.
^ exactly
Is this the real Xanindo?? If so tell me something about yourself that I would know it is you. Speaking of rants? You are the king of rants and always has Silva in your motuh.
Plus, I am beginning to think YOU are signing under my name now that you are accusing me of doing it to you. I have NEVER signed up under anybody's name or will I.
So as usual, you are WRONG again.
Nice try next time.
As I stated before, I hate NOBODY, but I do hate SHITTY Beliefs and I believ Aldo should go to 55 and see if he can beat that deep bench. If so, then he is the best.
Now @Xanindo, stop your ranting and drug induced dementia. lol..
Take a deep breath. you'll calm down some. Cheesch..
Silva wants is afraid of Weidman. True story.
andy would murder rockhold. I agree weidman and lombard gotta build some more hype or defeat sonnen to get a shot.
Bisping is the most interesting match up, I'd enjoy watching that
Why would Silva be scared when he's beat the best the UFC has thrown at him!
Seriously, how can you be GOAT when you CONSISTENTLY ask for weaker, less experienced opponents, and openly state that you don't want to fight the tougher guys?
"unnamed source…"…chael sonnen or some other spinster?
Quite honestly when you've reached the level of success that Anderson has its a bit difficult to find him a matchup that would sell. I completely understand where his camps coming from in that perspective. Not disregarding any of Weidman or Lombard's credentials in any way because both of these guys are legitimate threats to his reign. But financially it doesn't make sense at the moment. Contenders are running short fast because he dismantles everyone in his way. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see him fight for another year for the simple fact that there really is no one out there. It's happened plenty of times in the history of combat sports. Boxing's Floyd Mayweather is a perfect example. He takes year to year and a half layoffs because there's no one out there to match his skill. Same thing with Sugar Ray Leonard when he was in his prime. He retired 3 times before his career went downhill. Why? There was nobody out there. If anybody's going to be a next contender for Silva it'll probably be Bisping. Why? Because it makes sense. He talks shit, which will generate ticket sales. He's not too far down the ladder, and a legitimate win over Stann might have him a fight away from a title shot. Knowing Dana's reputation he might get it automatically just to make some money. That's if he defeats Stann (which I'm hoping he doesn't) but if Silva's camp is concerned about money that fight makes sense imo.
DEFINITLY I SAY DEFINITLY will they have to wait for lombard, that guy is on a big streak if he keeps winning they have to wait for him as an opponent that for sure will be silvas biggest challenge
Cmon they know if they beg Dana they can make that fight happen Silva just dont want ppl to take him down.that's why he chose rockhold over Wiedman and Lombard
Give it up….you will never be like me, stalker. Nobody that knows me will believe I wrote stupid shit like this.
I thought it was you!!!! You say stupid shit ALL the time.
I think belcher vs Chris wiedman would be a great match up and vitor vs bisping winner of each fight faces each othe for a title shot seems like it makes the most sense to me who agrees ?
How about Weidman vs bisping #1 contender match
Weidman would get KO/TKO'd wihtout a doubt in my mind. Weidman presents no threats to Silva. Lombard on the other hand has great power and his ground game is sick. BUT it took him 5 rounds to finally TKO my boy Niko Vitale in Bellator. Not exactly impressive IMO. Niko's ground is better than Andersons but Lombard likes to bomb and he would likely get KO'd trading int he pocket with Silva, Lombard is a stonger heavier hitter version of Chael. and thats a problem for Silva. i think in 90% of MMA circles Lombard is well known, plus i'm sure the UFC could easily put together a nice little montage of Lombards KO finishes and Title defense in Bellator, BUT general american UFC fans dont know him so thats a problem. hopefully he ends this fight saturday with some good ground work and then a KO to make a statment. Weidman stands no chance! he's never been a champion and likely never will, he's got a good attitude and solid basic skills, but he will never be discussed as a great like Anderson.
you people must not have a job. let the man pick his opponents. he always challenges himself and beats opposition. the best should be able to choose the best. he probably doesnt see any good competition in the UFC
If you really look at it, there are no legitimate threats to Silva at 185. You guys really believe that Weidman or Lombard can win?? You don't, you're as bad as the people that hate Jon Jones and are just praying someone can land one perfect shot that will knock one of those Kings off their thrones. It doesn't make sense to me to hate someone because of their greatness. Champions should be applauded, especially champions who have defended their belt multiple times and in spectacular fashion for the most part. Shame on you for idolizing these pretenders to the crown, saying this champion is scared or that they pick their fights, or that they should all move up a weight class and fight a bigger guy just because you, a random fan who has possibly never been in a cage fight, wrestling match, or even a street fight, hell maybe not a sport of any kind, says so on the internet.
Word, I like this site there is some good comments that are on here and it's disappointing to see little gags on here and just ruin shit, your not cool go suck mommies tittie, for everyone who respects this site props to you, for the rest just don't post and that wrestlingrules, I think ur probly nine and I feel bad for your future cause ur a fuckin dork, and now u see ur name ur going to rant so ……. Here's my reply WHO FUCKING CARES ANYWAAY
lol….That's all you got???? Peace and love and Andy is the greatest and the p4p and the only and eternally the GOAT! Is that better?? rofl…
@GRZ..one last thing and you KNEW this was coming didn't you??…lol..
You DID exactly what you said you DON'T like others doing! You said you like the good comments on this site and commended people who respect this site and don't say stupid shit…then you turn a 180 and DO EXACTLY what you said you didn't like!!! Is that the definition of on Insanity on your part? Or are you just full of shit and can't handle it???…..You're feeling all defensive inside now aren't you??? ….rofl…
Well said man!
He is scared of Lombard!!
Lombard and Weidman are legitamat threats,It's seems like silva is slowing down a bit.That's just my opinion,Some one like lombard can take out silva because he attacks right at the beginning,we saw that sonnen could drop silva,Think of what Lombard could do.
You dumb shits really think Silva is scared to fight… Lol I guess when your a UFC mega star you gotta have hate..
Anderson would beat all 3 w/o a problem. If he wasn't 37 and probably not tryn to fight when he's 40 id give him shit for not movn up and clean house but there really isn't any threat at 185 at all. He would be bisping and stann so honestly the only option I see is 205 but it's cool if he doesn't wanna do all that. Chael sonnen is not some gatekeeper to Anderson. Like chael had the testeserone of fucking 16em that night and that's cheating dude and second fight he was allowed and was 6x the limit and lost in the second round. Look at chael in fight one compared to fight two. He said how chael of now would beat but chael then was a testersone filled beast to now
Rumour has it that a certain 205er could be dropping down. With all the confusion at 185 lets just go for……. Anderson vs Rashad!
Rashad doesn't deserve a title shot. He needs a fight or 2 to get settled in before he fights silva imo.
Isn't it clear. It seems to me that he is ducking the tough fights. There has to be some truth to what Charl kept saying about him. He is a fake.
Bring Nick Diaz to 185. Not the first time he has fought at higher weights. Of course that is in Feb when he returns.
I would love to see Weidman get a shot. Stylistically I think he would pose some significant challenges for Silva.
no surprised at all.
luke rockhold is my home town bro, santa cruz, california, and even though i want to see him fight in the UFC, make big money, even get the title one day, he is no match for anderson silva.
the anderson silva camp is CHERRY PICKING. i'm not saying that luke isn't a worthy opponent, but he is not the #1 contender. Luke still needs to face top 10 fighters, and merge with the UFC roster. by the time this happens, anderson silva will prolly b retired.
why is anderson silva not picking the #1 contender? he prolly thinks it's best for his legacy to retire undefeated in the UFC, rather than fight like a man against the best out there.
who gives the fuck who anderson calls out?! this is not the first time he called out a fighter. last i remember he called out bisping and caught major hate. he wanted to beat bisping in the UK. ppl hated back then but bisping will soon be in line for a shot. rockhold is a strong opponent. better stand up then a lot of guys anderson has fought, aside from belfort and dan. if rockhold wins atleast 2 more fights in sf he will be ready for a ufc superfight. ppl act like anderson ducking someone at mw. we all know the ufc will put whoever they want in front of anderson. and anderson will embarrass them just like the rest. DONT RIDE THE WEIDMAN TRAIN!! bisping, vitor and anderson would destroy that dude.
Have anderson go up to LHW and face Jones. There positives for both of them in that match-up. Anderson can try to be the first man to hold 2 current belts and Jones gets a chance to take on the p4p greatest and cement his own legacy.
Why am I not surprised….
Anderson trying to duck legitimate threats again. Lol.
Andy sucks. He never mixes his sweat with the other guy!
I think the man will have to fight Dan henderson at light heavy division after the Jones and hendo fight, or Mr Rashad Evans.
There is ONLY 1 soul that can legitmatly challenge Silva at 185… Rashad Evans!! He has the boxing to maybe not get crushed like a can standing, and he definilty has the wrestling ability to take Silva down.. Verry interesting fight i personally love both fighters and it would be hard to take a winner..
i dont even know why silva and his camps oppinion on who he should fight matter hes a fighter and gets paid to do just that just shut up and take who ever they give you
They can express their opinions, it's a free country….He won't duck any fights, he never did.
Fuck chael P n wrestling

Won't someone please just arrest Amy Winehouse? It's clearly what she wants in life, more than her husband, a hit album, Grammys, and her health. Last night Wino was out in foggy London-town getting hammered at a pub, and ended her night head-butting a fellow bar patron who was trying to hail her a cab home. She also allegedly punched another customer, did drugs in the street, made out with her male companion and overturned tables in the pub. A spy even claimed that Amy was screaming, "I am a legend, get these people out. I want to take drugs."
Officers are now officially investigating the incident(s), and Amy could very well be charged and arrested. So please, Scotland Yard, come on over and round up your girl. It's what she wants most in this world. [The Sun]

The following commands are approximately all that is needed to build a shell script command line option parser from an option definition file:
autogen -L <opt-template-dir> test-errors.def cc -o test-errors -L <opt-lib-dir> -I <opt-include-dir> \ -DTEST_PROGRAM_OPTS test-errors.c -lopts
The resulting program can then be used within your shell script as follows:
eval `./test-errors "$@"` if [ -z "${OPTION_CT}" ] ; then exit 1 ; fi test ${OPTION_CT} -gt 0 && shift ${OPTION_CT}
Here is the usage output example from AutoOpts error handling tests. The option definition has argument reordering enabled:
exit 0
Using the invocation,
test-errors operand1 -s first operand2 -X -- -s operand3
you get the following output for your shell script to evaluate:
OPTION_CT=4 export OPTION_CT TEST_ERRORS_SECOND='first' export TEST_ERRORS_SECOND TEST_ERRORS_ANOTHER=1 # 0x1 export TEST_ERRORS_ANOTHER set -- 'operand1' 'operand2' '-s' 'operand3' OPTION_CT=0

Making the Most of a Career Fair
Reasons to Attend Career Fairs:
- Explore careers and learn about possible job and internship opportunities.
- Network with professionals in the career fields and companies in which you have interest.
- Meet face-to-face with company recruiters and increase your chances of getting noticed.
- Gain experience with talking to employers, practice selling your skills, experience and education, and thus build your comfort level with interviewing.
- Get answers to your questions about particular positions or companies straight from a company respresentative.
- Gather contact information and additional information from companies in which you have serious interest.
- Get more copies of your resume out to employers in a quick and efficient way, allowing you to build your network and have specific individuals to follow up with later.
Preparation Before Attending a Career Fair:
- Your Expectations - You are responsible for making the most of a career fair. This means that you should begin with clearly defined and realistic expectations. You will not receive a job offer on the spot at a fair, but it is realistic to assume you will make a significant number of employer contacts. For most candidates, success will depend on effective follow-up after the career fair.
- Employer Expectations - Some employers are only collecting resumes; some are not accepting any resumes and may expect you to submit application materials online. Some are building an applicant pool; some are ready to fill specific job openings immediately. Some will expect you to express your interest by already knowing about their organization; some will view this day as a career information gathering process. Most employers will expect that if you are interested, you will follow up. All employers expect you to be professional, willing to initiate conversation and able to highlight your strengths.
Things To Do:
- Set Goals - What do you want to accomplish?
- Have an Open Mind - Avoid making assumptions about who might and might not have positions for you. You will be surprised at the broad array of positions many companies have. Even if they are not advertising for someone with your focus, if you impress people, they will likely keep your resume and contact you at a later date.
- Make Your Commercial - Be able to introduce yourself and express your job interests and qualifications. Prepare a one-minute commercial, which includes your name, academics, activities, work experience, skills, and/or career goals. Highlight those things that you feel would be most relevant and important to the employers with whom you wish to speak. Practice your commercial.
- Identify Examples of Your Work and Skills - Identify specific experiences where you have demonstrated your strengths and abilities, and be able to describe them quickly. Backing up all your skills with specific examples will make you a stronger candidate.
- Prepare Explanation of Interests - Prepare explanations of why you are interested in a particular industry or company.
- Conduct Company Research - Research the employers that interest you before the career fair. Choose a dozen or so you are really interested in and thoroughly research them on the web. Complete online applications for companies in which you have an interest in working.
- Investigate Alumni Connections - Utilize the Career Center's Creighton Career Alumni Network (alumni networking program) to see if there are any alumni working for companies in which you are seriously interested and take their names with you to the fair. Ask faculty for contacts as well.
- Prepare Questions - Be prepared to ask questions of the representatives. Develop a list of questions to ask - some generic and some company-specific (see Questions to Ask Employers). Avoid saying "Tell me about your company."
- Develop a Professional Image - Purchase or bring a nice soft or hardcover notepad portfolio to take with you. Use it to store company information, business cards, resumes, and to record notes during the career fair. Also consider having personal business cards printed professionally, which you may distribute to recruiters as well. You can get free business cards through the Monster Print Center powered by VistPrint (small shipping fee).
- Coordinate Professional Dress Attire - Select an outfit and accessories that meet professional standards. Make sure they are pressed and polished. You should wear something that you would wear if you were going to an interview.
Things to Bring:
- Copies of your resume - printed on professional resume paper (bring 25-50 copies depending on size of the event and the number of employers you'd like to talk to).
- A smile, strong handshake, and a positive attitude!
- Information about the organizations that you will be approaching.
- Personal business cards (preferred, but not required).
- A professional notepad portfolio for resumes, company information, business cards, and notes.
- Energy! Be as refreshed as possible to be at your best.
What NOT to do at the Fair:
- Don't cruise the booths with a group of friends. Approaching booths independently on your own allows you to have more meaningful exchanges with recruiters. The are more likely to remember you and you are more likely to be seen as a professional and sincere candidate.
- Don't carry your coat, backpack, a large purse, etc. with you. These look unprofessional and can become cumbersome and heavy as you move through booths.
- Don't "wing it" with employers. Do your homework and research the companies just as you would for an interview.
- Don't come dressed for gym class or the dance clubs. Dress professionally just as you would for an interview.
- Don't collect the free give-away items unless you actually speak to the recruiter and they offer them to you.
- Don't display negative body language (slouching, chewing gum, fidgeting, playing with your hair, not making eye contact or looking around when being spoken to, etc.)
- Don't come during the last half-hour of the career fair. Some employers leave early if they have lengthy travel ahead of them.
What TO DO at the Fair:
- Give positive first impressions.
- Make eye contact.
- Be ready for introductions (use your one-minute commercial). Also give reasons why you are interested in the particular organization.
- Aske recruiters right away if they are accepting resumes at the fair or how you can apply for positions. If you've completed an online application already, let the recruiter know.
- Remember names and share yours. Address recruiters as "Mr." or "Ms." unless they give you permission to call them by first name. Wear a nametag, placing it on your upper right chest/shoulder area for better visibility.
- Smile and be polite.
- Communicate effectively with company representatives. Wait your turn - write notes from previous conversations or read company literature - while you are waiting to speak with a recruiter.
- Study the career fair map before you go in and find the companies you are interested in.
- Ask the recruiter if it is okay for you to call/email to follow up after the fair.
- Avoid using euphemisms - filler words such as "um", "like", "ya know".
- Before leaving the booth, be sure to thank them for their time and help.
What to Take Away From the Fair:
- Business cards from the recruiters. Use the cards to write follow-up notes to those organizations in which you are most interested.
- Notes about contacts made. Write down important details about companies, including names of people who may not have had business cards.
- Company information (company brochures, CD's, job descriptions, etc.)
- Better sense of career options: If you have made the most of the career fair, you will have made contact with several organizations that hire people with your skills and interests. Evaluate whether each company might be a match for you.
- Self-confidence: A career fair gives you the opportunity to practice your interview skills in a less formal environment. Use this experience to practice talking about what you have done, what you know, and what your interests are.
Follow Up:
- Thank You Letter - Look over your notes and send a written (typed) thank you letter within 48 hours of the career fair to the recruiters from companies which you made connections and are most interested in. This gives you an opportunity to stand out among other candidates.
- Phone Call or E-mail - Contact those recruiters who indicated that it was okay to do so. When calling, be prepared and practice what to say beforehand. Check with the recruiter to be sure that your application is complete.
- Other After-Thoughts - Be prepared for the company to contact you after the fair. Keep your company literature and notes in an accessible place. Make an appointment with the Creighton Career Center for more information on interviewing and ask for a mock (practice) interview.

Sushi with My Sister
This is Uchi, a sushi restaurant in Austin. And when I knew I would be coming to Austin, my sister Betsy made a reservation for the two of us.
I'd been to Uchi once before, when I visited two years ago. And it drove me crazy. Betsy and her husband Matt did the ordering for the table, and they pretty much took the "less is more" approach—every ten minutes, a plate would arrive on our table with about four pieces of food on it, and it would be gone within two seconds. Then we'd wait another ten minutes.
I'm all about savoring the moment and taking it slow, but I don't get to eat sushi very often. I wanted sushi sushi everywhere—not a tiny taste every ten thousand hours. So although I loved it, I hated it. Everytime I thought of Uchi, I felt unfinished, deprived, forlorn, and lost. It was the best and the worst dining experience of my life.
And this time, I was out to settle the score.
I still let Betsy do the ordering for us, but she was so shaken up by the verbal beating I'd given her over the previous Uchi experience, that she let no grass grow under each plate that was brought to our table; there was pretty much a steady stream. It was wonderful. And instead of leaving the restaurant clutching my stomach and miserable, I felt satisfied. Satiated. Nourished with the fruits of the sea.
And broke. Uchi is not inexpensive. It is a special occasion restaurant. But the food is just…just…sublime.
Crunchy Tuna Roll, which is rolled in tempura flakes. Please let me never be without tempura flakes again the rest of my life.
This was out of this world. Small pieces of tender tuna with chunks of goat cheese, then tiny slices of apple all over the top. And about four different oils drizzled in. It was cold, delightful, and different.
Excuse me, but the Shag Roll. This one killed me with its deliciousness. They somehow dip the roll in tempura batter (I think) and deep fry the roll, which results in this crunchy coating on the outside. Magically, the inside stays cool and uncooked. I could have had three orders of this.
This was extremely unusual, but we decided to give it a go because we'll pretty much eat anything, my sister and me. Except bananas on my part and tree nuts on her part because she's allergic.
I know she'll appreciate my sharing that with you.
This was just bizarre. There was white rice in the bottom of the sizzling hot bowl, and a raw egg yolk cracked on top of the rice. Then there was some raw tuna and this substance on top—what is this substance? Dehydrated onion of some sort? I can't remember. So what you do is, you stir it together when it comes to your table. The sizzling bowl slowly cooks both the egg yolk and the tuna, and when you're done you have sort of a fried-rice situation…but it's sort of eggy and creamy. Very yummy.
But I still don't know what that weird stuff is on top. It sort of looked like my skin the day before I got married. (Read the carnage here.)
Dessert #1: I can't even describe it. Lemon. That's the last thing I remember.
Desset #2: A prizewinner. That white mound is some sort of a panna cotta, and INSIDE THE PANNA COTTA is a yellow mango "yolk" that pours out. Add to that the chocolate and macadamia nut "soil" below, and you've pretty much bought me a one-way ticket to Heaven.

Congrats on the Bloggie. Don't suppose you'll still be in town beyond today?

siobhan On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:18 am
The flakes on top of the rice/egg combination look like bonito flakes.
This all looks delicious.
Michelle On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:19 am
Wow, you've made me hungry for sushi. I guess I'll take myself out for lunch.
Congratulations PW. You deserved the awards and the fantastic sushi!!
desi On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:19 am
MMMMMmmmmmmmmm, Looks better than the "real" stuff in Japan.
Jen On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:20 am
Looks fantastic! I guess I know what my weekend splurge is going to be…
Mirai On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:21 am
The thing that you thought that was dehydrated onion is called, "katsuobushi." It's dried shavings of tuna. It's used as garnish and to make broth out of it.
Btw, congrats on your awards!!! I am a HUGE fan of your website!!!
Simon On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:22 am
Those flakes on top of that bowl look a lot like Bonito Flakes or Katsuobushi
Starwoodgal On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:23 am
There you go again with the sushi.
I guess I'll be 'forced' to have lunch at Sushi King today. Fried California Roll – here I come!
Would 9:30 AM be too early for Sushi?
Sharon On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:23 am
Wow!! EVERYTHING looks delicious!! I'm heading for Austin!
Lo On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:24 am
YUMMMMMMMM. mmmmm. i want that now. the shag roll? good lord, that would make me cry with sheer joy.

YUM! I am jealous!
Randi Snow On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:25 am
Must be a fusion restaurant. Ive never seen tuna with goat cheese and apple in a Japanese restaurant
Ruth Ann in East Texas On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:26 am
Only thing raw I can eat is oysters which i love dearly; probably as much as you love raw fish – sushi. just can't do that!
Jim On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:26 am
I am so hungry now….Sham! Sham!
Great Pictures as well. Thanks
allie p On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:26 am
At 7:24am, I am wondering if Joey the fish guy is awake…I want my goat cheese to meet that ahi. Whoo-hoo. Thank goodness you did not give up fish for lent. Way to go. Live large. Congrats! PS, Wetsy, you're my photographic hero…I would have cut off her head and ended up having to sketch some stick figures.
Jody On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:27 am
I have been married to an American of Japanese decent for 26 years. We get the real deal if we want it, but sadly he doesn't eat fish! Strange but true. So glad you got your "fix"…
MAYBELLINE On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:27 am
You can have all of my sushi, thank you very much.
Lisette On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:27 am

Robin On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:30 am
Gosh I had deja vu looking inside the sushi restaraunt. I went to a wonderful Mexican place in Austin a few times named Manuel's. The inside looks like it could be the same place. Who knows. Maybe it IS the same place! I think Manuel's is gone. Sushi. Hmmmm. Wish I could work up some enthusiasm for it….
katehopeeden On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:30 am
YUMMY! Oh, I WANT TO GO TOO!!

Becky On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:32 am
Not about sushi…I tried your ginger steak salad last night…ala Becky. (Read regular salad, steak on the side, with sauteed 'shrooms) Love the dressing, love the marinade. And so did those to whom I served it. All one of him.
Thanks (And congrat on the award, and for keeping to your convictions. Whatever they are.)
Laurie in MN On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:32 am
Can I just have the yummy looking desserts?
Although the cooked stuff looks good…lol…
Michelle On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:32 am
I am an Austinite, and the Shag Roll at Uchi stole my heart a couple of years ago. It's ah-mazing. A more budget friendly sushi place is Kyoto on 4th and Congress. Their happy hour is unbelievable!
Angileek On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:34 am
yum. sushi. ummmmmm
Meg On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:34 am
Oh, Uchi looks fantastic! I would love to try it out. Luckily there are three sushi places in my town, and I even had sushi last night to celebrate my one-year-of-dating anniversary with my fiance! (Our first date was at a local sushi restaurant.)
Kara On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:34 am
Ohhhh mannnnnn. I'm trying to stay AWAY from sushi as it is beyond expensive and too readily available by me. I mean it not to brag, but just to whine. I can whine, can't I? Haha. I'm glad you fully enjoyed your sushi good times!
Vicki Miller On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:34 am
I have never had it…….maybe when I grow up!!!
Lynne-Ft Worth On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:35 am
i have had the hot bowl dish before but it didn't have tuna in it it had pork. it was good but I haven't been back to that restuarant since. not that the restaurant wasn't good but my time scheduls and pocket book are matching up.
Billie Mac On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:35 am
Congratulations! I so enjoy your blog, you really deserved your award!!!! I can hardly wait each day to read what you have been up to—Always brings a smile of satisfaction.
Barb 1230 On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:35 am
You're making me hungry, Ree. It's been a while since I've had really awesome sushi. My husband has to travel to Hong Kong 2 or 3 times a year and usually goes to an awesome sushi restaurant while there. He says it is out of this world!
Aspen On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:36 am
*swoon* I LOVE Uchi!! I had one of the best meals of my life there, and it's one thing I really miss about moving from Austin 2 years ago. Try the hot rock steak next time. Mmmmmmmm….
Heather Gill On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:36 am
That looks fantastic!
Erin On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:38 am
FAVORITE RESTAURANT EVER! I have driven from Waco to Austin just to eat there. Now I'm in Dallas it's a bit too far just for dinner, but please please tell me you got the fried brie!! If not, promise me you'll get it next time.
Melinda Brunson On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:38 am
Never tried sushi, however it looks so good, I'm almost convinced to try it.

How fun, I will so have to check out that restaurant next time I'm in Austin, now if I can talk my hubby into is a totally different situation.
Hope to see some baby pics soon. Have fun!
Martha Steward On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:40 am
All this deliciousness PLUS you got to palpate baby fat? I only go to one place in Corpus Christi for sushi, because it's convenient, but now I'll branch out to search for some place more creative. I'll be on a quest for something like the Shag Roll. Thank you for sharing!
Hilary Smith On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:40 am
Congrats on the awards! I love sushi, I can't wait until I'm no longer pregnant so I can eat it again!!!
Ernestine On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:40 am
Looks awesome. We go to Austin at least once a year. You make we want to go now.
CC On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:41 am
CONGRATULATIONS!! I was just telling my friend yesterday about your site and how addicted I am, so I can easily see why you won all those awards!!
P.S. Those look like bonito flakes to me.
lauren (athlEAT) On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:41 am
holy sushi – it looks incredible. I have never heard of some of that stuff!!!
erinn On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:41 am

Patty Williams On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:41 am
Glad you enjoyed!
Melanie On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:41 am
Looks amazing!! I could eat sushi everday!!! Yum!!!
Heather Kay On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:42 am
I love to try new things. I have had basic sushi and loved it! A experience like yours last night would be out of this world fun.
Steffi On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:44 am
Oh my god…..I just fainted!
I haven't had sushi since I got pregnant with the boy in fall 2007. Not to mention Harrisonburg doesn't have a decent sushi place that I know of…and Captain Picky Iraqi eats only well done meat so sushi makes his eyes roll back into his head and convulse on the floor in disgust….so knowing I'm breast feeding the kid…it would send him into cardiac arrest if I had a nice Spicy Tuna Roll…or Unagi (do you remember that Friend's episode?)
If for some reason you are ever in Virginia Beach you'll have to go to this place called Yama…best sushi EVER! Its a favorite with my mom, sisters, and I. I miss it…i haven't been in years….at least 4…then my mom updates her facebook page at least once a week saying "Jina just ate at Yama"…I think she does it just to make me jealous…evil woman.
That looks amazing.
joyosity On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:44 am
Yup, I'm pretty sure those are bonito flakes as well.
Debbie St.Germain On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:44 am
Still can't get me to think that type of food looks good, lol.
I am a meat and potato girl, love real food;) I am a seafood lover though, as long as it is cooked.
deanne On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:44 am
Yum! Why don't they have places like this out in the sticks? Love that you escaped the rolled sushi on a couple dishes.
Kristin On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:45 am
I live in Austin and still haven't visited Uchi. It's on my list though. I hear nothing but rave reviews. Looks awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!
LisaW On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:46 am
Oh yum yum yum… I could even eat that for breakfast right now! Those types of meals are always so special and make wonderful memories. Good food and a sister, can't beat it!
Amber On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:47 am
Oh. My. Holy. Goodness. I could eat sushi for the rest of my life and be totally content. Side note, you'll have to try Sushi Samba if you ever get to NYC. Brazilian-fusion Sushi. It is mouth watering!
Lisa S. On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:47 am
and I'm having a strawberry pop tart for breakfast…….sheesh!
Anne On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:49 am
ohhhhhh man … I'm pregnant and this post is torture no sushi for me. Looks delish!
Jennifer On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:49 am
I am totally with you on the bananas – I have not eaten one since I was 4. They make me gag. It's always fun finding people who feel the same way I do – banana haters are a rarity! That tuna dish looks and sounds AMAZING!
the domestic fringe On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:50 am
Can't say that I like sushi, but if I did, I'm sure this would look spectacular.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Lisa On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:50 am
Um, so glad you enjoyed it. Not my kind of thing, but so glad you were able to enjoy something you love and don't get very often! – Congratulations again on all your Bloggies! You deserve every one of them.
Rachel On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:51 am
I've never eaten sushi in my life- I seriously don't know if I've even been in the same room as sushi. I hear people say how delicious it is but it just doesn't look appealing to me at all. I can still visit your site though right?? Right?? Are you there?? I love your site.. I just have doubts about sushi… sorry!
liz r. On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:51 am
You so deserved a fancy meal. I am so happy for you.
Gayle On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:51 am
They all look so pretty! It makes me wish I liked sushi!
Amanda On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:52 am
I've never had sushi. This all looks so beautiful. I don't think I could eat it.
NaysWay On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:53 am
I've got friends in Dallas. I smell a road trip to Uchi!! (What's three hours for good sushi, right?!)
Mindee@ourfrontdoor On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:54 am
Whatever you paid, it was worth it. That looks like an amazing meal. I adore sushi and am now dying to try some tempura style.
And those desserts? I'm drooling.
Lisaiz On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:54 am
YUM! And *CONGRATS* again – you won some very well deserved awards!!!
What heavenly looking sushi! I've had some pretty good sushi in my life, but none that was quite that original and beautiful (the dish with goat cheese and apple really caught my eye!). ~drool~
kim at Hey Mum, I'm Hungry! On Tuesday, March 17 at 9:55 am
That stuff on top? Bonito.
Oh, and snaps to you young lady on scooping the pool at the Bloggies. Awesome.

Lee On Tuesday, March 17 at 10:02 am
Mmmmm, shag roll looks divine (it all does). Would it be food copyright infringement to forward to my sushi chef friend? I need to try this stuff!
Starwind On Tuesday, March 17 at 10:02 am
I'm thinkin' those flakes are bonito. The meal looks divine!!!
Lillian On Tuesday, March 17 at 10:02 am
Not that you care, but I'm a SUPER fan of yours, and I'm also from Japan. So this post made me about pee my pants! And if you were curious, those are dried tuna flakes, not onions. But that doesn't matter. I love you and your food and photos and everything else. Can we be friends?
viola On Tuesday, March 17 at 10:02 am
Hmmm especially that last one looks delicious. Glad to know you're enjoying the Lone Star State, and making us look a little more sophisticated than a bunch of oil-rig ownin' boot wearin' rednecks.
Misti H. On Tuesday, March 17 at 10:03 am
Hey Ree….that flaky skin like substance is most likely something called "benishoga" or in english "bonito flakes". This is simply dried bonito fish. It is a very commo garnish in Japanese food. It is also used to make "dashi stock" which is the most common started for Miso Soup.

Heather On Tuesday, March 17 at 10:03 am
About that "stuff on top" yes, what in the world is it? Did yours move? I remember eating a dish like that when we were in China… They brought the dish out and it was like billowing or something, so very freaky!

SWITCH ON A ROOF 2: The Sequel
lol, bet that water grounds the system nicely. I was amazed today to find this on a service call. Tech did a very nice pole mount in a very very tricky area to get line of sight. Peak the KaKu dish perfectly. Customer only had one box, a HR23-700 and complained that it was acting funny and hardly had a signal. I inspected everything and then determined that unfortunately something was wrong in the cables buried from the dish to the house (about 50-60 ft worth). So I start pulling them up and find this. I was like who the hell takes the time to do all this ****, but then cuts their cable short and puts 2 damn barrels not even wrench tightened underground? So I had to rerun and rebury the cable. Install was only a month old and they were corroded out and water was in the lines. Supervisor is getting the pictures tomorrow and someone is going to have some explaining to do when I find out who did it

SOUTH SACRAMENTO, CA - What was an eyesore in some south Sacramento backyards along Highway 99 is nowopen backyard space.
The land used to belong to a state agency, but now homeowners have a piece of land near a soundwall and it cost just a buck.
It'spart of the Highway 99 Soundwall Community Safety and Enhancement Project for home along the east side of 99 between 12th Avenue and 47th Avenue.
Until now, the homes werea magnet for trespassers over the years. This space used to beCaltrans' property, maintained with taxpayer dollars. Now after forking over just $1, some homeowners can call it their own.
"I put plants here," said Gregorio Caraes, one of the homeowners. Several feet were added to his backyard, giving him space for a garden of tomato and squash plants.
Caltrans contacted 44 homeowners living next to the soundwall, offering them the land. Thirty-eight took the offer, adding five to 20 feet to their backyards.
Some neighbors, though, remain concerned Caltrans won't pay enough attention to the land it still owns near the soundwall.
"I think it's unfair. They need to maintain the rest of it," said neighbor Glennie Lee.
As for additional property taxes the homeowner might be liable for, Caltrans right-of-way agent Eva-Marie Gordon, said, "No, we'll work with the county accessor's office. Their taxes will go up approximately a penny."
That's because Caltrans sold the space for what's called an underlying fee, giving them the option to take it back for future highway use.
Homeowners can use the land for a garden, even a dog run. The only catch: No permanent structures are allowed on the land.

There is a bizarre obsession with declaring in the fall of 2010 that one candidate or another is the "front-runner" in the GOP presidential primary. Sarah Palin will be the front-runner, the pundits pronounce, because she's so very popular with the base (but maybe not as popular as the mainstream media imagine). Mitt Romney is the front-runner, we are told, because he is "next in line" and will have loads of money and name recognition. This is all hogwash.
Rudy Giuliani was the "front-runner" for all of 2007 — and then the race actually started. Romney had tons of money last time, but John McCain's pauper campaign beat him. (And if anything, Romney is in worse shape this time with the RomneyCare cloud over his head.) It's daft to talk of front-runners when the candidates aren't set, we are two years from any votes being cast, and there is such obvious discontent with the most likely contenders.
The 2012 polls mean absolutely nothing at this point, reflecting only current familiarity with the candidates. Bestowing front-runner status on this or that candidate provides reporters and pundits with a way of organizing their storylines ("front-runner stumbles"), but it's not informative. What would be illuminating is to probe the strengths and weaknesses of each, the source of support (financial and otherwise) each might have, and the potential strategy for each. But, by gosh, that takes a lot of work. So much easier just to debate who the "front-runner" is and ponder whether Palin will run or not.

HS BB team's 4 Bergerons include 2 brothers
Vandebilt Catholic High School's baseball lineup is loaded with Bergerons. Sometimes the bases are, too.
Starters generally include senior right fielder and pitcher Josh Bergeron, his brother, junior shortstop Jordan Bergeron, and two unrelated players - senior pitcher and third baseman Matt Bergeron and junior pitcher and third baseman Grant Bergeron.
Coach Corey Sullivan tells The Courier ( http://bit.ly/17L6WSM) that they're big assets at the mound and at the plate.
The Terriers are 22-6. They've already clinched the District 8-4A title and a spot in the Class 4A playoffs.
Sullivan says having four players with the same last name can lead to some unique situations. At the Central Catholic-Morgan City Tournament earlier this season, the Terriers had the bases loaded with Bergerons and another at the plate.

Player Profiles
Björn, Again
At 40 Denmark's Thomas Björn has found a (relative) peace that has helped him shed some old demons and win four times in 19 months
Bring up Thomas Björn's name during a wee stroll along the range at any European Tour event and you typically get widely disparate opinions. Sometimes there is a shrug and a sad shake of the head, along with "should have won it, you know." Others merely smile, or even laugh when the popular and distinctive Dane is mentioned. And for the rest a few knowing nods eloquently convey the respect felt for a man who has contributed so much to his home circuit--on and off the fairways--over the last decade and a half.
To most casual fans, of course, Björn will forever be that guy who took three shots to get out of the bunker on the 70th hole of the 2003 British Open at Royal St. George's. Those with sharper memories may recall that, three days before he would lose the claret jug by a single, agonizing shot, he incurred a two-stroke penalty when he first failed to extricate himself from another bunker, then struck the sand in a brief--and ultimately expensive--fit of temper.
Then there will be the golf nerds who can successfully identify the two-time European Ryder Cup player (and vice-captain) as the highly respected chairman of the European Tour's influential tournament committee. But only those with a finely tuned sense of irony will remember "Mr. Chairman" paying the largest fine (widely rumored to be Ł10,000) ever handed out by the tour, in 2006 when he savagely and publicly criticized then Ryder Cup skipper Ian Woosnam for the apparently heinous crime of leaving him off the European team.
To the more esoteric-minded, Björn will surely be the glowering and tortured Scandinavian who once walked out of the 2004 European Open citing "demons" in his head. Or the unfortunate soul who led the 2005 European Open at the K Club after 54 holes, before accumulating 17 shots (11-6) on the last two holes en route to a closing 86.
All of which are merely parts of the complicated and endlessly expressive mosaic that is Björn, a man known to European Tour caddies as "Cyclone" (a slow moving depression). But those of a kinder--or at least more thoughtful--disposition will see this Gothenburg resident as one of Europe's premier players from 1996-2006 (only once in that period did he finish outside the top 20 on the European Tour's Order of Merit) and, more recently, as perhaps the most resurgent member of golf's elite. After 3˝ years out of the winner's circle--and the top 40 money winners--Björn has won four times in the last 19 months, twice before and twice after his father, Ole, died of cancer last May. From a low-point of 263rd on the World Ranking, he has risen again, to No. 28 after last week's T-25 finish at the Commercialbank Qatar Masters.
Björn's sandy mess at the 2003 British Open (above) derailed early success that included a part in Europe's 1997 Ryder Cup victory (below).
So there aren't many on any tour quite like this 40-year-old father of three. Certainly, no one in the game glares quite so potently as Björn, whose almost jungle-like eyebrows only add to his thunderous and somewhat intimidating countenance in times of stress.
"I've always had to battle my active mind," he says with a disarming grin that instantly contradicts his public image. "It's too active at times. I am the sort of golfer who has to analyze almost everything. I don't find it easy to relax after a round. There are always things flying around in my head. When I go home, I can sleep 10 hours a night; on tour I sleep for five hours. My head is always spinning. I have thoughts all the time. I go over every round shot-by-shot. I think about what I'm going to do differently the next day. There's a lot going on in my brain."
That was certainly the case from 2007 through 2009, the period during which Björn's slide into seeming oblivion was gaining momentum.
"I definitely fell out of love with the game," he continues. "The traveling became very difficult. My mind was wandering. I was considering doing other things. I would be sitting in cars going to the airport really not wanting to go. It was just a sour feeling. And on tour I had a constant feeling of loneliness. I wasn't myself. The fire in my belly was gone. I lived what felt like a very lonely existence. I didn't really want to do much. I didn't socialize. I was internalizing everything. And every Wednesday I felt like getting the week over with so that I could go home.
"I just didn't have the desire to play," he says. "Plus, if you have been used to playing in major championships and all the best events, when that disappears it is hard to be properly motivated. I found myself at events I was playing in 15 years ago. All of that just made things worse. I wasn't enjoying any of it."
That much was obvious to those who know Björn best. His retreat into dour introspection did not go unnoticed.
"Thomas was on a pretty steady downward path for quite a while," says Ewen Murray, former European Tour player and now Sky television commentator. "In the middle of that period I remember telling him he had to stop thinking so much about how he was doing everything. He won the Challenge Tour in 1995 with record prize money. A year later he won at Loch Lomond. In 1997 he was on the Ryder Cup team. And on he went from there.
"The bad spell, not surprisingly," says Murray, "came after the 2003 Open. He should have won that event, as we all know. Then he started getting into swing theory, rather than focusing on what he is very good at, which is just playing. I told him, 'You will get to 40 and still be searching for the secret to the golf swing--and you'll have wasted the best years of your career.' "
Of that, Björn was well aware. And, eventually, things reached a crisis point. His choices came down to a) giving up the game and finding something else to occupy his over-active mind; or b) re-dedicating himself totally to being the player he once was. It was a simple choice.
"I had to make a decision," he shrugs. "Once I knew that I still wanted to play golf, everything was easier. I wanted some good years at the end of my career. I didn't want it to peter out into nothing. Pernilla [Björn's wife] was somewhat involved, but I had the casting vote. When I travel now, I enjoy it. I've become better at scheduling myself. I'm happier and more relaxed, and that has a lot to do with me playing better.
"Moving back to Gothenburg was also important to us as a family," he adds. "We were happy in England, but there was always something not quite right. As soon as we did move we knew we should have done it sooner. The whole family is more comfortable with friends and family around us. And my wife and I are happier with the kids at school in Sweden. We wanted them to have the same sort of upbringing we had."

LEWISBURG — Prosecutors say four teenagers threw rocks from an Interstate 80 overpass in Union County last month. A woman from Ohio was critically injured when one of those rocks went right through the windshield. One of those teens had a hearing on Tuesday and the testimony was graphic and emotional.
The victim's husband said it was the first time he heard the 911 tape when it was played Tuesday in court. The family said it was hard reliving the night of July 10th and brought back a lot of emotion.
One by one the four teenagers accused of throwing rocks off an Interstate 80 overpass walked into the Union County Courthouse in Lewisburg for their preliminary hearings. It was the first time Brett Lahr, Tyler Porter, Keefer McGee, and Dylan Lahr would come face to face with the Budd family, who's matriarch Sharon was severely hurt by one of the rocks.
"I hope maybe them seeing us made them feel bad. I don't know if it did or not, but they know what they did and it was hard to see them," Kaylee Budd said.
"It made it more real. It happened. Those gentlemen, gentlemen, those guys were involved. They know what they did," Randy Budd said.
Sharon's husband Randy testified in court. He described the moment the rock hit his windshield.
He said, "It was the most gruesome thing I've ever, ever seen."
Only one teen, Brett Lahr, went ahead with his hearing. The other three teens gave up that right. In the end, the judge decided Brett Lahr will go to trial on charges including aggravated assault. One of the other defendants, Keefer McGee, testified against Lahr.
He told the court, "We were all laughing thinking it was funny. We laughed, tossed out rocks and drove home."
"I'm like around the same age and I just could never imagine myself doing something like that or thinking that could be a good time," Kaylee said.
"Very, very malicious, violent and something that changed our lives forever," Randy said.
Randy Budd said Sharon's condition is improving. She is taking steps with the help of a physical therapist and she did see out of her left eye.
As for the teenagers, the DA said he believes lawyers for three of them are trying to get their cases transferred to juvenile court
