Rivalries are what make sports great. It keeps you tuned in time after time and creates those intense drama filled moments that elevate your favorite sport to a different dimension. A sort of blinded hysteria comes over fans from opposing sides and it is that fan interaction that makes watching the event much more entertaining. We recall such an instance at Super Bowl XLII in Glendale, Arizona.
it was about 1:00 pm in the afternoon when two opposing limousines showed up, one full of oddly dressed Patriot fans in tuxedos, the other in blue and red decked throwbacks. The amount of profanities and gestures made between the two parties were enough to fill a book on the subject of lewdness, not to mention the amount of booze between the two could of made a few bathtubs over flow. By the end of it all, it lead to a hilarious moment where the Patriots fans were flipping the bird to every person in a Giants jersey they saw. All while in their uber-cute little white Patriots tuxedos.
Really? Your grown ass men and your in a white Patriots Tuxedo, flipping little nine year olds the bird. Now that is what I call passion and a bit of courage juice mixed in their to make things extra hairy.
Johnson vs. Bird, The Yankees vs. The Red Sox, Ali vs. Frazier, all memorable rivalries. Though MMA is no more than 20 years old in the states it has produced rivalries that have continued us fans talking and talking. From Sakuraba and the Gracie’s, to Penn and Hughes, a controversial finish and a little smack talk is all that is needing to ignite a rubber match.
One such rivalry that continues to heat up even though the two have never fought is Nick Diaz and Jason “Mayhem” Miller. The smack talk between these two elite athletes has been going back and forth for quite awhile with camps accusing the others of purposely not taking the fight, being afraid, steroids allegations to a pro Diaz camera man being involved in a scuffle with Miller.
Ah, we love drama. It keeps things fresh and interesting right? Well in this recently shot interview with Miller, our cameras caught up with the fighter in Los Angeles where he shared his love for Lady Gaga, what it meant beating Sakuraba and of course adding in another verbal jab at the Diaz brothers.
