Think about how you feel after Bruce Buffer announces a split decision. Think about the chances that the two judges that happened to agree also agreed with you. Think very seriously about the emotions that run through your body after you watch a fight for 15 to 25 minutes only to have the judges disagree on the outcome.

Sometimes, you just really want a cheeseburger.
A man in New Castle, Indiana was arrested on Friday (Feb. 22) after he called 911 to ask for a cheeseburger. Sure, the police might have forgiven this one call, attributing it to a hunger that could only be sated with a cheeseburger.
But the guy called again. And again. In total, Gregory Jackson Sr. dialed 911 9 times before the police gave up and arrested the man.
As first reported by krqe.com, Jackson, age 52, had a criminal history that may have contributed to his eventual cheeseburger-provoked downfall. A warrant for his arrest had been issued after the man failed to appear in court for a public intoxication hearing two days earlier.
In addition to this, Jackson apparently has an extensive criminal record, mostly due to alcohol-related charges. The New Castle police have not said whether alcohol was a factor in the cheeseburger incident, but that's probably a safe bet.

Georges St-Pierre (22-2) returns to the octagon after a lay-off of 567 days to face the interim champion, Carlos Condit (28-5), at Ufc 154 in Montreal, Canada. Despite already establishing himself as the best welterweight on the planet, this fight will be the biggest and most difficult of his distinguished career. More important than his treble with Matt Hughes. More important than his battles with Bj Penn.
And the reason for that is simple. This fight more than any other will define Gsp’s place in history.
The Challenger – Carlos Condit
Carlos Condit came into the Ufc via the acquired Wec, where he ran rampant over mainly 2nd tier competition en route to a Wec welterweight belt with three title defenses. After transitioning to the Ufc with a close split decision loss to Martin Kampmann (14-2) at Ufc Fight Night, Condit recovered impressively with a 5-fight win streak.
And not just a win streak.
