We're going to start out with the usual stuff, such as Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell and his girlfriend engaging in a focused and methodical workout while wearing absolutely no clothing. Come on- we've all been there before. Just be glad you're not the guy getting paid five bucks an hour to wipe down the equipment with sanitizer.

Now that we've got that crass and classless piece of disturbing media behind us, let's move on to the more mature and respectable type of subjects you'd expect from a professional and distinguished MMA journalism site--like ex-UFC fighter Seth Petruzelli running around in the snow wearing only a sumo-thong?

Part of the reason we're all fans of this glorious sport is due to the rigorous and intense training regimens that the athletes must subject themselves to each and every day, and this video is convincing proof that some of use just don't have what it takes.  One positive thing I came away with after watching this video was the reassurance that my experience as a youth training at that karate dojo down the road shouldn't have scarred my life and spawned weekly therapy sessions, as my sensei really was teaching me an obscure martial arts program that I should hide from my parents because they just wouldn't understand "the warrior's way".  (Middle Easy)

We now move on to Mike Swick's seemingly disembodied head speaking to passers-by from it's comfortable oceanside perch atop the sandy beaches of Thailand.

 I always knew that Tim Sylvia's movie star looks would pay off for him.  He's featured below in a new movie based on the alluring powers of the drug Oxycontin, which actually doesn't look half-bad (the film, that is, not the Oxycontin).

 If you've ever rolled for a kneebar on a whiny co-worker or stopped during a streetfight to adjust your Neoprene knee-braces, you're probably a fan of Oleg Taktarov.  If you've ever been busted for hanging a 12 oz. sizzler from your ceiling and working your stand-up game on the dangling slice of meat, you're probably a fan of Rocky Balboa.  This video is targeted at both audiences, as "The Russian Bear" takes on the Semmy Schilt lookalike, Dolph Lundgren, who played "Ivan Drago" in Rocky IV, in a boxing match. 

Rampage completes our unintentional theme of bizarre training methods by showing he's serious about returning to the UFC, his MMA career, and fighting Rashad Evans at UFC 114 by lighting up a cancer stick (Bloody Elbow).  The only thing we've seen Rampage gas out from is a stiff series of leg kicks, so this and his new Chuck Liddell-style belly is nothing to worry about.

We'll close with something you definitely don't see everyday, and may never see again.  Arch-rivals Wanderlei Silva and Rampage were captured shaking hands in a brief moment of respect and sportsmanship after Wand's win over Bisping at UFC 110.  All kidding aside, it's little things like this that make me love this sport.

 ***LATE ADDITION***

This one comes from The Garv himself, and it's a little something he likes to call:  "Vitor Belfort's Heel-Hook:  You're Doing It Wrong"
