After their recent war of words, it appears as though former Chute Box teammates Anderson Silva and Wanderlei Silva have put aside any differences they may have had.
A report from Tatame quotes Anderson as saying:
Wanderlei is crazy (laughs), he’s crazy, but it’s ok, we’re ok… He knows all my critics [sic] are positive, that I know his talent… We’re together, Wanderlei is amazing.
…And I think to myself, what a wonderful world…

…And Now For Something Completely Different: Alex Jones – The Obama Deception (featuring Joe Rogan)
The UFC’s Joe Rogan makes a brief appearance in Alex Jones’ feature, The Obama Deception.
KRS One also appears, as does a weathered Professor Griff. Mike Goldberg, however, is nowhere to be found.
Worth a watch if you’re into that kind of thing, or just very open minded. The film’s thesis is essentially that a ruling banking elite control the federal reserve and ultimately control the president, who serves as a puppet or figurehead. Obama is owned by bankers (as has been every president in recent years). Lots could be said or written about this, but I’ll just present the link, and let you do with it what you will.
After a link was posted to this video by Eddie Bravo on the Underground, Rogan explained his participation in a forum post:
First of all I had no idea I was going to be in this video. We were having a conversation about politics in the green room of a comedy club in austin and Alex used the video for his film.
Alex is a friend of mine, and has been for 10 years. He’s a great guy, fun to hang around with, and almost completely nuts.
Although I’m greatly skeptical of almost all politicians and their motives, Alex goes way over the deep end way past me, deep into crazy town.
It doesn’t mean he’s not right about a lot of disturbing things – because he is – but the dude is off his rocker. I don’t buy into all his theories, but he’s a fun guy to hang out with and I enjoy talking to him.

The Ohio State Athletic Commission wants to know whether or not Sean Salmon threw a fight in their state.
After Salmon’s incendiary post on MMAJunkie yesterday, has has been the recipient of great interest from fans and media alike. Now, at least one regulatory body has some questions.
Bernie Profato, executive director of the OSAC has called a hearing to hear an explanation from the fighter.
Sherdog.com’s Jake Rossen sat down with Salmon to discuss what exactly he meant in the post, and whether or not he took a dive.
I wrote it the wrong way. He got the arm. I knew it was a position I could defend. If I fought and struggled the way you’re supposed to, I could’ve gotten out. But I didn’t have that fight in me. On that night, at the time, I did not have the motivation to fight that any more. I wanted to be anywhere else in the world but that cage, that night.

Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva disclosed to Tatame that should he win his fight with “Big” Jim York at Sengoku 10 on September 23rd, he will face Josh Barnett for the Japanese promotion’s heavyweight title in November.
Sengoku’s president confirmed that if I win, I’ll face Josh Barnett for the title in November.
While no official announcement has been made, Silva’s statements confirm rumors circulated since Barnett’s departure from active competition in the United States. After a 3rd failed drug screening prompted the cancellation of his marquee bout with consensus number one ranked heavyweight, Fedor Emelianenko, it seems unlikely that Barnett will return to action in the United States.
Check out the full story, including more quotes from Silva at Tatame.
