So the holidays are upon us. It is a time for family, drinking, giving, drinking, eating to excess, drinking, and self-reflection. Some people vow to quit smoking, some to get a life, others to stop trolling and for some of us we make a resolution to get back into that shape we were once in so many years ago. We never stick to it of course but it sure is self-motivating to talk about it prior to the fact.

Enter James Mason. This beast of a human used to weigh over 550Lbs (250KG) less than a year ago. He has since lost over 220Lbs (100Kg). His weight loss is directly attributed to Maui Thai and MMA training. His story is a little bit extreme in the sense that his resolution to lose weight came after the docs told him he had 5 years left if nothing changed. He flew out to Thailand to train and adopted a life style centered around MMA and Maui Thai. He fell in love with the training and was able to achieve his goals. It serves as a reminder that MMA training isn’t just for getting into a cage and fighting, it can also be used to help achieve a healthy lifestyle.

So if you are one of those people that are planning to trade the couch for the treadmill, look into MMA training at your local MMA gym. It probably will make the difference this time around.

We put up a contest that ran Sunday and Monday. The object was to guess who Tom Lawlor was going to dress up as for the weigh ins.

So the weigh ins for UFC on Fuel 3 are done. Tom Lawlor came in as Genki Sudo, who himself was paying a homage to Buckethead (thanks for the heads up Clint).

The first person to have correctly guessed what Lawlors mystery entrance was going to be is:

You win a 6 month UFC.TV subscription worth $60.00

Giallo, I need you to email news@fightlinker.com with your email address. I also need you to answer the following skill testing question:

Find the critical points of the function.
F(x) = x^4/5(x – 7)^2
x = (smallest value)
x =
x = (largest value)

Congratulations! This is what we saw:

And here is the Genki Sudo entrance Tom mimicked.

The steam coming out of the bucket really brings the ensemble together.

Ok, this is the contest.

Filthy Tom Lawlor is planning a special walk in for his weigh-in on Monday. He is keeping it a secret. The only hint he is giving out is that only hardcore fans will get it. You must correctly guess what Lawlor is cooking up for this weigh in.

You have until 2PM EST Monday May 14th to put your answer in this thread. if more than one person guesses correctly, only the person that posted first will win.

The prize: A 6 month subscription to UFC.tv!! You will have access to all the fights in HD that the UFC has in their vault for 6 months.

Runner up gets a digitally autographed picture of a casting or Ryans nuts. Good thing there is no second place.

WILDCARD: If nobody guesses correctly I will choose the entry that made me laugh the most. I might ask a random Jackal for help if this is the case cause I have no sense of humor.
