After having a few eggs this morning…I needed something sweet to satisfy my sweet tooth, so I grabbed a banana! Here are some cool facts about bananas for you health people out there…and for the non health people who just want to the know what the heck their putting in their mouths.

(Muscles)…Not only are bananas rich in vitamin C, they also contain potassium. Potassium is a mineral that helps in the building of muscles and protein synthesis. This is done as potassium stimulates nerve impulses for muscle contraction.

(Energy)...Bananas contain three natural sugars, sucrose, fructose and glucose along with fiber. A banana thus gives an instant and substantial boost of energy.

(Health)…The Vitamin C, which is found in bananas, helps the body to defend and heal against infections. This vitamin also proves valuable in the synthesis of the connective tissue, absorption of iron and the formation of blood.

Fun Facts

• The word banana is derived from the Arab word “banan,” which means finger.
• Bananas are harvested green because they keep ripening even after they are picked.
• Unlike most other fruits that grow on trees, bananas grow on plants.
• An average American is said to consume more than 28 pounds of bananas every year.
• Brisbane holds the world record for the longest banana split, which measured 7.3 kilometers.
• 3 medium bananas would weigh about a pound.
• Despite that fact that bananas love a tropical climate, they are grown in Iceland too, by heating the soil with geysers.

The sport’s top pound for pound fighter, Anderson Silva, is known for his amazing striking technique, showmanship inside the ring and his humble attitude outside of it. The following video leads me to believe Silva was either misquoted in the translation with reporters, hyping up what he said to cause controversy, or that Silva really adopts the attitude that few people impress him.

What is funny is that when you watch the beginning of the video, he says BJ doesn’t impress him, he later goes on to call him “The best” and when asked if the best pound for pound fighter is Penn, he says “maybe” while declining both Fedor and GSP.

Last year we had the great opportunity to work with  Team ‘Pacquiao’ on a signature basketball jersey. However, we did not have any intent on selling the jersey when we made them….until we had around 1000 people  hit us up about the jersey. Asking questions like…” where can I buy this?…how much is it?…” and so on.  We had no idea that so many people had an interest in buying the limited addition jersey made for Team ‘Pacquiao’ . This time we are blessed to say that Team ‘Pacquiao’  has allowed us to produce a special quantity just  for us! Keep in mind that Manny and his whole camp will be wearing this jersey! It will not be sold anywhere else….There is a VERY limited amount of these jerseys and I know they will go fast… IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE JERSEY AND WANT TO SAVE YOURSELF ONE BEFORE THEY RUN OUT….PLEASE CONTACT sales@civilclothing.com

These Jersey were Produced by Civil under the Rights and direction of Team Pacquiao.
This is an Official Team Pacquiao Garment.

Aka the Reason Rampage won’t fight Rashad.

Should we be mad that one of the world’s best light heavyweights postponed one of the most anticipated fights to pursue a lucrative opportunity and to further his “advance” his acting career? In a word, yes and no. The UFC does have a tendency to treat their fighters like shit.

From Rampage’s account, Dana White kept on pushing him into fights when he wasn’t ready for them and for the most part he stepped up. The Chuck Liddell fight was only his second UFC fight, and before that he had fought the over the hill Marvin Eastman. Jumping into the Dan henderson fight and the Wanderlei fight, he had a hand injury.

Ok, Rampage’s job is to be a fighter, he’s not an actor, comedian, or any other sort of entertainer. Fighting is Quinton’s bread and butter, does anyone think he is going to be taken serious as an actor? As much as Randy Couture and the Rock are. Sure you might land a role here or there and get paid. But unless you have some serious acting chops or buzz, it isn’t likely.

Rampage needs to give the fans what they want, a fight with Rashad. How anti-climatic, that one of the biggest feuds in MMA history, true “Black on Black crime” as Quinton would put it, would be put on hold. I hope it was worth it. I don’t have a problem with Rampage going out and making some cheddah, but don’t cut down one of your best fights to do it.

Rampage/ Rashad moments…

The first was a tactical grueling fight that left many thinking we have a new champion. All challengers crumbled at the supposedly “Invincible” Dragon, whose style was a most perplexing and labrynthian for all his opponents.

A new revitiliazed Shogun showed that Muay Thai can break Karate, in the hands of the right disciple. This interesting trailer illustrates a metaphyscial symbolism of the warrior spirit. I like Machida, however I want Shogun to finish the job he did last time. Shogun’s punishing Muay Thai style perplexed the once elusive Machida, showing the world he is not invincible.

If either one wins, a matchup with Anderson Silva should be in effect.
