Seems like Kimbo has evolved to become more then just a YouTube street fighter, who fought for a a small purse to having finally entered the cage/ring to put his talents to their real test.

The fight itself wasn’t all that spectacular but this clip really did help sell things:

Anyways, it’ll be interesting to see how Kimbo fairs in the long run. I’d love to see him and Houston Alexander get it on, seeing as how they both started out as back street brawlers.

P.s - Who would have guesssed that training with Bas Ruten helped Kimbo develop a ground game, never thought that I’d see the day when Kimbo won a fight via submission, on the ground.

24 for the most part, well the first 4 seasons anyways, was probably one of the better shows on T.V. It’s hard to think though that Jack would be able to pull the same shit if he didn’t have Chloe, satellites or full access to every known encryption key ever created. All the same Jack was Jack way before high-speed modems existed as is seen from the original 94′ 24 pilot.

Its not breaking news that Coke’s bad for you and seeing as how coke kills, should be more then reason to stay away from the liquid heroin. However, for those of us who have long been hooked on it, (I’m trying to cut back on my can a day, but having an unlimited ‘coke’ fountain at work hasn’t seemed to help things any), there seems to be an explanation as to why it’s so hard to let go, apart from lack of will power). Anyways I came across thie article on the effect coke has on your body on HealthBolt from a year ago, which I found interesting enough to share.

What Happens To Your Body If You Drink A Coke Right Now?

Have you ever wondered why Coke comes with a smile? It’s because it gets you high. They took the cocaine out almost a hundred years ago. You know why? It was redundant.

• In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor allowing you to keep it down.
• 20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat. (There’s plenty of that at this particular moment)
• 40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness.
• 45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.
• >60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.
• >60 Minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to pee.) It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolyte and water.
• >60 minutes: As the rave inside of you dies down you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, pissed away all the water that was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like even having the ability to hydrate your system or build strong bones and teeth.

This will all be followed by a caffeine crash in the next few hours. (As little as two if you’re a smoker.) But, hey, have another Coke, it’ll make you feel better.

Or you could just grab a pepsi considering it’s helped hook a lot of you up with Raptors tickets.
