Zip Line?

If you read Matt Hughes blog he is talking about setting up a 200 ft zip line over his pond. I think he said you are 20-30 ft off the ground while you are riding it. Is it just me or is it a little stupid to be fucking around on something like that a week and a half before a fight?

Had one for years and neither myself nor my friends ever got hurt. It's pretty safe and really fun, that being said you could probably find a way to hurt yourself by acting recklessly, but you'd have to try. He's a professional, I doubt he'd jeopardize a fight.

I think this is one of the main reasons why Hughes has always been my favorite fighter. He is one of the best in the ring, but outside of it if you met the guy you probably would never realize he smashes people's heads in for a living. He just seems like a regular country boy who works hard when he is working, and plays hard when he isn't.

Then again this is UFC 85 which should have been named "Murphy's Law."

Over water there is no danger, if it's over land or even if it ends on land there's always the danger of rolling an ankle when you make contact.

LOL, but thats basically what Murphy's Law is.

Murphy's Law - Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

Or UFC 85 could be called UFC 85: Fubar.

Fubar - Fucked up beyond all regcongination(sp?).

He has 2 goals left, beat Alves, smash Serra, then it's infinite zip lines in the future. Let the man have his fun.
