1. You step into the octagon with Anderson Silva and things don't quite go as planned. How do you react?

a. Remember that the last time you were in this situation you started crying in front of millions of people (e.g., Keith Jardine). Instead of repeating the experience, you immediately bolt from the cage, all the while singing Flock of Seagulls' "And I raaann..."

b. Fight Anderson Silva in the parking lot, except this time you use some type of weapon such as a billy club, baton or bazooka.

c. Quickly invent some injury that prevented you from fighting to you full capability, such as glaucoma.

d. After you wake up, get in the referee's face for stopping the fight.

e. Throw your hands up in the air and pretend you won. When they announce that Anderson won, begin shouting, "I was robbed!"

f. Remain in the ring and take your defeat like a man.

ANSWERS

a. + 8 points. Excellent answer. It will cause every reporter and fan to ask you, "What the hell were you thinking?" for the next several months, but at least no one will see you cry... again.

b. - 8 points. Bad choice. Anderson Silva is a master with nunchucks as well. Most likely he will claim your weapon and beat you to death with it.

c. + 4 points. I am not a big fan of fighters who make excuses, but if you cite glaucoma as being the reason for your loss, you get the + 4 points for originality. However, if you made up a more generic excuse such as a slipped disc, broken foot, or busted hand, subtract ten points... Remember, all fighters are injured to some degree during the actual training process. Why? Because a part of their training consists of actual fighting.

d. - 5 points. After suffering such a terrible loss, the last thing you want to do is get beat up by Mario Yamasaki. It would be a career killer.

e. - 5 points. An excellent way to look like an even bigger jackass.

f. - 2 points. Now I know that I have said this was the proper way to handle a loss in my previous book, but I am now retracting that statement in an attempt to make myself feel manlier. If you chose this answer, **** you! You think you are better than me? You try getting beat by Anderson Silva and then sucking it up for a postfight humiliation interview.
