Fighter Suffers a Broken Skull, Goes on to Win By Knockout
This picture is an x-ray of MMA fighter JP Joubert‘s skull. You’ll notice it has many more cracks than your average skull. Joubert took a multitude of knees, elbows and fists his forehead in a light heavyweight championship fight last month against Norman Wessels at EFC Africa 15. The end result, according to the injury report was a “Frontal sinus fracture and concussion.” He was transported to the hospital for a CT scan, but is doing well enough to tweet.
Did I mention that Joubert came back to win the fight? I know I mentioned it in the headline, but it bears repeating that this dude broke his fucking skull and then won the fight. Wow. You can watch the entire fight in the Japanese YouTube video above. (It starts around the 8:30-mark.) Amazingly, not a single punch is thrown until more than 30-seconds into the fight. Somehow it turned into something memorable. It might have something to do with the whole skull fracture thing.

Why has this place died? Who got kicked out that ultimately killed it? Boring website without the comments to pass the time.

Without the creepy-looking alien baby though. I would think some kind of CT scan though.

Even though I have no idea what the commercial was about, the autoplay commercial was the best one I’ve ever seen. Now I want some Japanese pizza.

Japanese advertising is better than American advertising.

Everyone is back. Except for Dirt. And he still lives on by twittering random comments without any context so we have no clue what he’s talking about.

I just saw some Japanese casual racism towards the French in a commercial I’m enjoying in casually racist way.
August 13th, 2012 at 2:32 PM
Can we lose the autoplay Japanese ad, please?

“in the Japanese YouTube video above” and to all the other comments about Japan. You are all idiots, its Chinese not Japanese. tv.sohu.com, google it and learn something instead of just believing what you read.
