Where to Find Maui?s Best Snorkeling
Finding the best snorkeling on Maui isn’t hard; it’s paring down the choices to a single vacation that becomes challenging. Maui is one of the premiere snorkeling locations in the world, with a wealth of underwater adventure and sights to see. Whether you are looking for snorkeling opportunities right off the beach or further out [...]
Dana White wears Strikeforce shirt, weirds out MMA fans
Ready to see a sight you never thought you'd see?
UFC president Dana White wearing a Strikeforce shirt. Yes, he is now the partial owner of the promotion, but it's bizarre to see the man who once called them "Strikefarce" to now wear their gear and attend their shows. Tonight's "Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley" card is the first main event under Strikeforce's new ownership. We'll see if it's "business as usual," as White said it would be.
Read on for more pictures of the UFC invading Strikeforce.

Faber starting Cruz smack talk videos early
Urijah Faber is not a fan of the UFC bantamweight champ, Dominick Cruz, so it's helpful that they are fighting on July 2 at UFC 132. Unfortunately, that's more than two months away, so they have to express their animosity in some way, like YouTube videos.
The pair last fought in 2007 at featherweight. Faber won with a first-round submission, but has expressed his dislike for the "not-that-cool" Cruz many times. If it's like this months out from the fight, it's going to be a fun ride to UFC 132.
Last Chair, Last Call in Montana
The neon was bright and the one pieces tight at the local mountain's season ender here in Montana. This was of course after I made it to the mountain after picking up the pieces from the night before's last chair party that seamlessly blended into last chair morning. Finding people and loosing people in the car pool, gear explosion that usually ensues after such an event had left us worried about our friend Shane who had called to inform us he had been pulled over en route and we instantly feared a daytime DUI.

Being the concerned friends we are, we gave our obligatory "Ah man, sh#%. I hope Shane doesn't get a DUI" and headed off to the mountain. At the mountain and after the multiple choice of ticket clipping, ticket swapping or green pass we opted for B and before no time Kevin, Kirby, Shay, Carson, Jim and the rest of the growing gang met at the mid-mountain lift. I couldn't have paid for that kind of fun literally and figuratively - tomahawking, naked skiing and enough neon to blister your eyeballs matched with moose knuckles, division symbols and other varieties of mystery meat zipped snugly into retro ski gear so classic one could weep with nostalgia.
The last day of the season is about riding with good friends and getting in those last lift access turns for the season and after an internal struggle I ditched the camera gear. Not long after, Shane met back up with us and it was off to endless options of wall / cat track hits and a few laps with the Bomb Snow boys. The sun came out in the afternoon right on cue for a massive of gathering at the top lift where the celebration continued well after the lifts closed and eventually graduated to a meadow just out of bounds where a fire pit gap and snow benches accommodated a smaller handful of us having to much fun to call it just yet.
The party moved from the mountain back to town and as the midnight hours rolled in, our crew dwindled down and the karaoke was up - Shane and Todd laid down a spicy version of Garth Brook's - I've got friends (in low f---ing places). I was thoroughly impressed with the impromptu but the bar was a gallery of shell shocked faces and somewhere between Garth Brooks and our ridiculous outfits a fight broke out and after a few tables got overturned and a few meatheads were hauled off by the bouncers the fun was back on track - the beers and good times kept rolling all the way to last call.

Gegard Mousasi, Keith Jardine Draw in Bloody Strikeforce Fight
by Michael David Smith
As almost everyone expected, Gegard Mousasi bloodied and battered Keith Jardine on Saturday night's Strikeforce card. But as almost no one expected, Jardine showed a tremendous amount of toughness, Mousasi had a point deducted for an illegal kick, and the result was a majority draw.
It was a mess of a fight, with Jardine's face becoming a bloody mess and the referee calling a halt to the action three separate times: Once for an illegal kick, once for a low blow and once because Mousasi's mouthpiece fell out. One judge scored the fight 29-27 for Mousasi, but two judges scored it a 28-28 tie.
