Ufc 106 Results, Ufc 106 Live Stream Free: latest news aboout, In a rematch of their memorable 2006 fight in Anaheim, former UFC light-heavyweight champions Tito Ortiz of Huntington Beach and Forrest Griffin of Las Vegas renewed acquaintances in Ortiz’s UFC comeback fight following a contract split last year.
Ufc 106 Results, Ufc 106 Live Stream FreeGriffin dominated the third and final round, blitzing Ortiz with hard rights to the face and combinations that included hard shots to the body and tough kicks to the left leg. Ortiz was cut under the left eye in the round and sustained some good combinations.

The judges saw it like this: split-decision win for Griffin.

Ortiz, as usual, had a memorable ring entrance with Eminem blaring at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, waving the American flag.

First round:

Ortiz takes a right standing up, but charges and lands a right. Ortiz takes down Griffin and tries to ground and pound with some elbows flying. Griffin gets up, the pair end up reversing each other against the cage.

Griffin kicks Ortiz in the left leg, like he did against Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. Griffin hits Ortiz with a right-left combo punch to face. Ortiz misses a takedown. Both guys jab.

I give the round to Griffin.

Second round:

Ortiz takes down Griffin, smacks him with elbows. Griffin gets back up. Griffin kicks Ortiz in the mouth, knocking out Tito’s mouthpiece. Tito takes down Griffin again, Griffin playing defense on ground versus former CIF champion wrestler.

Ortiz sends some elbows and fists to Griffin’s face on the mat. Griffin’s cut under the left eye, and now has a nasty cut at the right eye. Gushing everywhere. Griffin reverses Ortiz, trying to win round. Some pushing post-bell.

I give the round to Ortiz.

The co-main event, a welterweight clash pitting San Jose fighters Anthony Johnson and Josh Koscheck, will put the winner in prime position for a title shot at champion Georges St-Pierre.

Koscheck initially got the better of stand-up striking exchanges before Johnson popped in two jabs. Johnson slipped a clench, but then committed a rule-breaking violation by sending a right knee toward Koscheck’s head.

Kneeing on the mat, Koscheck appeared to have got his arm up in time to deflect the blow toward his right eye. Referee Mario Yamasaki stopped the action and deducted a point from Johnson for the illegal knee. A ringside doctor was summoned and reported to the ref that Koscheck had “blurry vision as a result of the foul.”

Still, the fight resumed and Koscheck turned to wrestling. Johnson was seen with a small cut over the left eye.

In the second round, Johnson was poked in the left eye twice in the first minutes. Both fighters had a lively exchange of blows in the center of the octagon. Koscheck got Johnson on his back and sent a few damaging elbows to the 25-year-old’s head.

Brooke Phillips Pictures, Brooke Phillips Cathouse: Brooke Phillips, a Nevada brothel pregnant employee, who appeared on a reality TV HBO “Cathouse” and another 22-year-old mother-to-be, was fatally shot before firefighters discovered the bodies in a burning house in Oklahoma City, investigators said Friday.
Brooke Phillips Pictures, Brooke Phillips CathouseOklahoma City, the Police Department spokesman Sgt. Gary Knight said 13 November, the Medical Examiner’s Office determined that Phillips and Brooke Milagrous Barrera – both 22 years old and pregnant – were dead from gunshot wounds.

The women were among the four victims were found in 9 out of open November, a man and a woman have not yet been identified. Authorities say the fire was deliberately and are treating the case as a homicide.

Knight said that efforts to identify victims have been slow, because the bodies are so damaged, adding: “They were severely burned.” Knight said authorities had not identified a suspect.

Phillips had worked at the Moonlite BunnyRanch, a legal brothel near Carson City, Nevada, which appeared on an HBO reality, “brothel.” “That’s terrible, terrible, terrible. We are sad.” Said Dennis Hof, owner of the Moonlite BunnyRanch. “It was the saddest day of about 54 years in the BunnyRanch.

Police have interviewed José Fernando Fierro, the only survivor of the blaze, but not a suspect, his lawyer said Friday. “It’s very fortunate,” said Jefferson’s lawyer, said Shawn. “The house was big enough that people could be in different places. Do not think he saw anything.”

Fierro had been renting the house for about three months and was close friends with two other people at home, Jefferson said. “One of them was lifelong,” he said. Jefferson refused to identify the victims or details of what Pierre told police, and other aspects of the investigation.

Hof Phillips described as “a popular, outgoing, charismatic young man” was a big part of the HBO series “Cathouse,” which followed the lives of women working in the brothel. Hof said he hired Phillips two years ago after she said it was a big fan of the series and wanted to work on the ranch and be on the show.

He said he had asked to take some time after she learned she was pregnant, but she had not told the identity of the father. A friend of Phillips, co-employee BunnyRanch Cami Parker, described as “a very funny girl,” who was excited about her pregnancy.

“I never heard nothing but positive things. He was always very happy, very optimistic,” said Parker. “We used to play Scrabble together. She was so funny. She always went dirty words.” About two dozens of messages of condolence were posted on the website of BunnyRanch possible since the death of Phillips was reported on Thursday, many of his friends and coworkers.

Smallest State Capital

October 5, 2009 by lee  
Filed under U.S. News

I think it was James Kushner who first suggested that I consider the question of which U.S. state capital had the smallest population in relation to its state’s largest city. For example, New York City is the largest city in the United States, but the state capital of New York State is Albany, with a population of about 850,000. The population of New York City exceeds that of Albany by a factor of around 20.
Smallest State Capital

At the other end of the scale, of course, we have state capitals like Boston, Denver, Atlanta, and Honolulu that are their state’s largest cities. For these states, the population quotient is 1, its theoretical minimum.

Well, James, it only took me thirty years, but here it is.

I tried to resolve the question manually a few weeks ago, by browsing Wikipedia for the populations of likely candidates. Today I took a more methodical approach, downloading the U.S. Census Bureau’s July 2006 estimates for populations of metropolitan areas, and writing a couple of little programs to grovel the data.

I had to augment the Census Bureau’s data with two items: Annapolis, MD, and Montpelier, VT are not large enough to be included in the metropolitan area data file. I used U.S. Census 2006 estimates for these cities as well.

I discarded one conurbation: the Census Bureau includes a “Metropolitan Division” in New Hampshire that consists of Rockingham and Strafford counties; this was the most populous identified area in New Hampshire. It didn’t seem entirely germane to the question, so I took it out. On the other hand, including it doesn’t change the results much: its population is 416,000, compared with Manchester-Nashua’s 402,000.

Nineteen of fifty state capitals are their state’s largest cities.

Vermont is an interesting outlier here. It makes fourth place not because it
has a large city, but because its capital, Montpelier, is so very small.
I tried doing some scatter plots, to see if anything else jumped out, but they
weren’t very illuminating. If anything, the data is suprisingly evenly

distributed. Here’s an example:
