		<description><![CDATA[As someone who&#8217;s gotten in a few heated exchanges and altercations with movie theatre assholes, I can appreciate Ronda Rousey&#8217;s story about confronting an Ugg-wearing seat kicker (4:20 mark of the first video).
Rousey, who&#8217;s known just as much for her shoot-from-the-lip Chael  Sonnen attitude as her four armbar wins in four minutes, will challenge [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s an old adage in movies: if you introduce a gun, somebody’s going to get shot. Haywire inspires a related question: Why put Gina Carano in handcuffs if you’re not going to then make her fight a swarm of bad guys?
That&#8217;s just one of the more puzzling elements of the Steven Soderbergh-helmed spy thriller. Granted, [...]]]></description>

But there&#8217;s no way you can say this boxing ref did a good job in the women&#8217;s match between Anne Sophie Mathis and Holly Holm (aka Jon Jones&#8217; sparring partner).

While Chael Sonnen is busy trading insults with ring card beauty in Arianny Celeste (insults that are funny but wrong, I might add), Ronda Rousey is busy doing her best Sonnen impression.

Never leave a free arm dangling in front of Ronda Rousey. The judo Olympic medallist and world champion has had four professional MMA fights and four victories, all by armbar. Her latest victim, Julia Budd, had her arm mangled inside of 40 seconds during Friday&#8217;s Strikeforce Challengers event. Why Budd didn&#8217;t tap sooner is beyond [...]]]></description>

Gina Carano has confirmed every horndog guy&#8217;s fantasy about watching two women fight: that at any moment they could start tearing each other&#8217;s clothes off and making out in the middle of the cage. Or, as she put it in Bullett Magazine:

Already, there&#8217;s very positive buzz about the movie. Besides, Ewan McGregor is so misguided and wrong at the end of this clip: [...]]]></description>

The Steven Soderbergh-directed action movie Haywire, starring Gina Carano, doesn&#8217;t hit theatres until January 20, but it&#8217;s already been called the &#8220;best action thriller of 2012&#8221; by critic Jeffrey Wells, whose opinion I mostly trust, at least about movies.

Wells attended a sneak preview a couple of nights ago and wrote, &#8220;Haywire is the smartest, most [...]]]></description>
