How To Kill a Man With Your Bare Hands

As a kid you learned Karate at the local mall, but now you realize Karate is a gateway Martial Art for bigger and badder forms of Martial Arts.

Well the folks at Cracked have compiled a list of the "6 Great Martial Arts for Killing a Man With Your Bare Hands."

A list like this wasn't around a few years ago, but now with a bit of Googling and YouTubing it's easily researched, written and prepared for intellectual consumption.

But what if you become proficient at "self defense" and get charged with involuntary manslaughter? Okay, so you acted a bit reckless. Shame on you. But your heart will swell with pride as you share bare handed homicidal stories with your cellmate. Think of your street credit!

So if you're a fourth degree black belt in Joe Son Do, but you feel it's missing cojones then do yourself a favor and check out Cracked's "6 Great Martial Arts for Killing a Man With Your Bare Hands."

How To Beat "The Iceman" In Five Easy Steps

How to beat Chuck Liddell in Five Easy Steps

1. Watch a few of Chuck's old fights and note how he keeps his hands low and wide.

2. Circle around and switch stances and make sure you don't close the distance.

3. Chuck will eventually get frustrated and start chasing you.

4. When he throws a right hook, notice the "Hit Me Here" sign on the left side of his head.

5. Throw a hard overhand right toward the chin or temple area. Put your hips into it!

This is what I intend to do next year when I lay down my challenge to The Iceman while playing the UFC: Undisputed videogame.

But seriously, the brutal K.O. of Chuck Liddell at UFC 88 was indeed Rashad Evans's "Breakthrough" performance. And this was no ordinary K.O. either. It was a statement and a changing of the guards. Sporting a t-shirt of Bill Gates's mug shot, and destroying a legendary fighter, Rashad Evans figuratively and literally "stuck it to the man."

Throughout his fighting career Liddell kept his hands low and has gotten away with it, but up until recently few fighters were able to take advantage of his bad habit.

Liddell acknowledges this flaw and has said, "it's something to work on."

The Ultimate Fighter Reality Show continues to churn out great fighters. I look forward to seeing TUF 1 and TUF 2 champions battle it out for the Light Heavyweight title. An end-of-the-year UFC main event between current Light Heavyweight Champion, Forrest Griffin and number one contender, Rashad Evans would be fireworks! It'll be a great way to lead into 2009.

The Gloves Were Off

But before that incredible K.O. of The Iceman, there was another somewhat shocking moment. It came during the Rich Franklin vs. Matt Hamill fight.

Early in the first round, Matt Hamill landed a grazing blow that left Rich Franklin with a nasty cut under his right eyebrow.

What was shocking was not the nasty gash, but the fact that Franklin opted to use his own cutman who treated the open wound with his bare hands! Franklin doesn't know what his cutman is doing in between rounds. He could've been picking gum off his shoe or coughing into his hands.

Needless to say, I was pretty surprised to see that a cutman was treating a wound without gloves.

Chuckzilla, UFC 88 Billboard, Times Square NYC

During my lunch break last week, I decided to take a leisurely walk through Times Square. As usual, it was bustling with activity as tourists take final snapshots of their summer vacations and the street vendors push to sell one last trinket. During my stroll, I bumped into The Naked Cowgirl, the latest New York City oddity.

Suddenly, I noticed a large familiar face staring down at me. It was Chuck Liddell peeking from between the tall city buildings. As I neared the corner of 45th Street and Broadway there he was, The Iceman accompanied by Rashad Evans on a giant billboard advertising UFC 88 Breakthrough.

That reminds me, I'll have to set my DVR to record tomorrow night's countdown show on Spike TV. But first it's time for Dana White's major announcement.
