Funny Karate Clip

I was surfing around on YouTube today during lunch looking for some cool MMA videos and stumbled upon a hidden gem. Remember the show In Living Color? Well, I found a great old clip of Jim Carrey playing a karate instructor. I was glad I found it. I had forgotten how funny Jim Carrey was on that show and spent the rest of my lunch break watching other In Living Color classics like Fire Marshall Bill, Men On Film and Homey the Clown. Good times!

TUF Season 10 Episode 2 Recap

UFC Poster for TUF Season 10: Heavyweights

A couple of seasons ago, The Ultimate Fighter was struggling to regain its footing. The show seemed to lack a sense of identity. Was it a show about a bunch of guys training in the mixed martial arts or a Real World-style reality show about a bunch of tough guys trying to get along in a house outside of Vegas. Well, if the second-episode of TUF season 10 is any indication, the folks at the UFC and Spike TV have opted to make it about the former. And I likey.
