Mamma mia! Here is a pic of lovely Bellator girls Mercedes Terrell and Jade Bryce that was tweeted out and titled as “Booty poppin’ by the pool”. We hadn’t heard of booty poppin’ until now, but we like it.

You can also watch Jade Bryce’s awesome butt workout, if you want to get your butt to look like that.

The perils of training and fighting MMA seem evident, but sometimes we see a picture that just totally reinforces that. Like this rather gross shot of Rory MacDonald’s new red/black/purple eye.

MacDonald tweeted the photo and said he received this beaut during some training. At 13-1 — his only loss coming to Carlos Condit — MacDonald rarely gets one of those in the Octagon.

Ronda Rousey is always making news. Whether she’s beating three men on a Japanese game show, or simply being MMA’s hottest fighter, Rousey will always be in the spotlight.

She is also a tweet queen. Case in point: Rousey sent this text exchange out on Twitter, in which she absolutely pwns her ex-boyfriend or ex-lover (or both).

Ronda tweeted: “Okay … Couldn’t help tweeting this cause it felt too damn good sending this message to not share it”

Tom Lawlor is not only a great fighter, but he’s definitely the most entertaining guy in the UFC when it comes to walkouts and weigh-ins. Lawlor has done some epic stunts, like appearing as Steven Seagal and the Hulkster. Here is a nice highlight reel of some of his best.

Imagine that: Anderson Silva’s nephew is also an exciting Muay Thai striker, and an undefeated one at that.

19-year-old prospect Guilherme Bertholdo (6-0), the nephew of UFC Middleweight Champion and pound-for-pound great Anderson Silva, will look to extend his perfect run in Muay Thai’s amateur ranks and move one step closer to turning professional when he faces off with Chris Lazaro (7-2) of Las Vegas, Nev. in a welterweight (147 pounds) matchup on the undercard of the Lion Fight Muay Thai VI: Schilling vs. Marcus II full-rules Muay Thai event at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Saturday, May 12, live on LionFightPromotions.com.

“I am excited to finally test my skills against top level amateur opponents,” said Bertholdo, a member of Black House Team Nogueira, the famed training camp that is also home to Silva and is headed by MMA legends and twin brothers Antonio “Rodrigo” and Antonio “Rogerio” Nogueira in San Diego, Calif. where he trains under Kru (trainer) Alex Palma.

In Brazil, Bertholdo took up Karate and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at an early age before relocating to San Diego with his family. While his father has schooled him Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and helped Bertholdo attain the rank of purple belt in the submission fighting discipline, Bertholdo has gravitated to the sport of Muay Thai due to his love for kicking and punching.

“Striking is my passion,” he said. “My Kru (trainer) has really taught me to use my hands and angles and, because of this, I’ve learned to appreciate the beauty of Muay Thai. MMA is a sport that I eventually will focus on in the future but, for now, I want to sharpen my striking and compete in an all-striking sport.”

Bertholdo said he is knocking on the door of gaining his United States citizenship and would like to eventually represent America as a member of the U.S. National Muay Thai Team.

“I am learning from my senior (training partners) how to conduct myself and perform like a true fighter, I am not attending college. Black House Team Nogueira is my college.”

Bertholdo’s opponent, Lazaro, is a 24-year-old member of Hard Knocks Muay Thai gym and student of Renzo Asparria, whom Lazaro has been training with for the last two years. The matchup with Bertholdo will be Lazaro’s first since he sustained a broken thumb during training last year.

“I love this sport and I’ve been eagerly waiting to get back in the ring. That time has come now that I’m healed up and I’m looking forward to putting on a great show,” said Lazaro, a technical fighter known for staying in the pocket with his opponent and throwing hard uppercuts.

The live stream of the 12-bout card, which will be facilitated by Go Fight Live, will begin at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on LionFightPromotions.com and can be purchased for a one-time credit card charge of $14.99.

In the highly-anticipated main event, WBC Light Heavyweight (175 pounds) Champion Joe “Stitch ‘Em Up” Schilling (12-2, 10 KO’s) of Los Angeles, Calif. will face off with undefeated top contender and bitter rival Simon Marcus (23-0, 18 KO’s) of Toronto, Ontario Canada in a grudge rematch after their first meeting on Feb. 25 ended in a controversial first-round TKO in Marcus’ favor.

In the co-main event and a second highly-anticipated rematch, Filipino American Romie Adanza (16-3, 7 KO’s) of Irvine, Calif. will face off with Thanit “Boom” Watthanaya (45-12, 12 KO’s) of Vancouver, BC Canada via Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.for the vacant WBC international super flyweight (115 pounds) championship.

Thai superstar Mongkon “Malaipet” Wiwasuk (138-27-5, 26 KO’s), fighting out of Fresno, Calif. will put his WBC national welterweight (147 pounds) strap on the line against aggressive-minded counterpuncher Justin Greskiewicz (17-8, 3 KO’s) of Philadelphia, Pa.

Fresh off his rubber match victory over “Coke” Chunhawat, seasoned technician Matt Embree (20-3, 9 KO’s) of Toronto, Ontario Canada will return to Lion Fight action and face another tough, highly-experienced adversary in former world champion Nils Widlund (34-1, 12 KO’s) of Stockholm, Sweden.

Undefeated rising star Tiffany Van Soest (2-0) of San Diego, Calif. will take on fellow prospect Heidi Otterbein (3-1, 1 KO) of Las Vegas via Vancouver, BC Canada. in a 125 pound catchweight bout.

In a matchup of two experienced, Las Vegas-based MMA competitors who have decided to test their combative skills in the Muay Thai ring for the first time in their respective careers, Javier Torres (0-0) will square off with Michael Madrid (0-0) in a 170 pound catchweight fight.

Fresh off his fifth professional victory at Lion Fight Promotions’ last event on Feb. 25, Scotty Leffler (5-2, 3 KO’s) of Las Vegas will return to action against promising upstart Artem Sharoshkin (3-1) of San Diego, Calif. in a welterweight (147 pounds) affair.

Usually we try to write something somewhat clever to add to the enjoyment of the news, video or pics that we post.

But for this picture of Nick Thompson facing off against Jake Shields at an old EliteXC weigh-in, all we can add is that it is likely the weirdest weigh-in pic you will ever see.

Thompson came on the UG forum and said, “This seemed like a great idea at the time…a time when i didnt have a daughter.” Not a good idea, even if you were childless, Nick. Hah!

UFC fighter Yves Edwards is a pioneer in the sport. The practitioner and perfecter of ‘ThugJitsu’ has been in the game forever, notching his first pro win in 1994 and making his UFC debut back in 2001.

So when he absolutely went off on Twitter the other day, people took notice. Edwards had some strong opinions on African-American names, porn stars, Tiger Woods, Satan, cocaine and a slew of other things.

Edwards says that it’s all in humor, but if you’re not doing stand-up comedy on TV these types of words are hard for people to handle with all the political correctness these days. To the tweets/humor/offensiveness…

Robert Black – @agreedrobert619

Yves Edwards – @thugjitsumaster
Why is @TigerWoods the only guy on twitter that doesn’t follow a porn star? #ShitThatDon’tMakeSense

Yves Edwards – @thugjitsumaster
No BS. When I check out at a store and they say “have a nice day” I look them in the eye and reply “don’t tell me what to do” & leave.

I seriously need a decoder ring for rap now. “That white frost on that pound cake so your Duncan Hines is irrelevant.” WTFF does that mean?

Chris McDevitt – @chrismcdevitt
White frost = cocaine, poundcake = ass, cake = money, Duncan Hines purveyor of fine baked goods. Pusha T out his mind..

I’m writing a book. It’s pretty much going to be the shortest book ever. It’s titled “Things That Are Better Than Boobs” it has 3 chapters.

Yves Edwards – @thugjitsumaster
Chapter 1: “Bigger Boobs” Chapter 2: “Nice Butts” Chapter 3: “A Clean VaJayJay*” (using vajayjay because I want a female audience also)

When my son was 4 I played “Baby got Back” for him in the car. He then asked me, “Daddy, you like big butts in the candle light”?

I sent this hooker out to get us some coke 3 hours ago. She said she’d take 20 mins. You think she’s coming back? #Hookers&Cocaine :(

Yves Edwards – @thugjitsumaster
Please disregard that last tweet. I’ve never done one of those things. ;)

Yves Edwards – @thugjitsumaster
And by “one of” I mean “neither one of”. I’m just bored. :)

Tyler Rook – @tyty317
u better hope uncle Dana don’t see it!!! #hookers&coke

Yves Edwards – @thugjitsumaster
I doubt @danawhite is going to be offended by it. He doesn’t have mangina.

Dan Brown The Author – @DBrown166
Your strippers and concain tweet had me laughing my ass off. makes me wanna watch the hangover now! #wolfpack

Yves Edwards – @thugjitsumaster
I’m glad you found it funny. Apparently I’m in violation of the Internet with it. Which is like being in trouble with Santa.

Interesting stuff from Edwards. Will he be reprimanded for these tweets? The Thought Police might get him!

People just can’t seem to get enough pics of lovely UFC ring girl Arianny Celeste. FHM Philippines knows this, so they did a rather smokin’ photo shoot with Arianny. Just for you.

Gina Carano’s ‘Haywire’ has been released on DVD and among the extras is an interview with Gina talking about her love of fighting and how being physical is a way to express herself creatively. There is also some cool footage of her pro MMA debut.

Carano may love fighting, but at this point it seems she loves making movies even more. She is reportedly going to appear in Fast and Furious 6 with The Rock, and is also set to play the lead in John Stockwell’s “In the Blood”, where she’ll play a woman whose husband disappears while on vacation in the Caribbean.

Check out this gallery of Gina Carano on the Haywire set, as well as Gina’s hot photo shoot for GQ.

UFC goofballs Maximo Blanco and Marcus Brimage kicked and punched each other for three rounds, then decided to take it a step further with some super tumbling.

No word on whether they went to the bench presses after that, or ventured into other such competitions of manliness.

To the videotape…

I think Brimage won the tumbling portion of the fight. He also won the fight itself, earning the victory via split decision.
