A few updates on what's been going on in the MMA Twitterverse

"Cro Cop is a relic, a reminder from the old days. A museum of ancient victories isn't worth a nickel today, not even in his native currency... Don't get me wrong; Cro Cop was a good fighter back in the day. I would have told him myself, but I was 2." -Chael Sonnen
"Machida is a gentleman. MMA is very cutthroat, and it's sweet that Lyoto promised to never fight his girlfriend Anderson. That's devotion... I'd beat up Machida on the way to the ring to beat up Anderson, and I'll kick Nogeria's ass in the parking lot on the way to my after party..." -Chael Sonnen

"I could write a dissertation on this experience:"The Tragic Interplay of Delusion, Insecurity, and Incompetence: the Nog Brothers' Story" ... Stay tuned for the sequel, "Help, an Asian Judako is Beating My Ass: The Anderson Silva Story"." -Chael Sonnen
