Around SBN: 2012 Budweiser Shootout Entry List Released

MMAmania.com 'Motivator' winners announced for UFC 82!

And the winner is ... "Henderson" from MMAmania reader Dan.

It certainly wasn't easy, however, judging this contest. We received more than 500 submissions and I looked at every one of them -- it took way longer than I thought it would.

But it was well worth it because there were some good laughs. Below we've put together the winners UFC 82-themed "Motivator" contest.

Thanks to everyone who participated — these were some hilarious (and sometimes cruel) creations. Hopefully we can do something similar real soon.

Congratulations again to the winners. I'll try and track you down, but to make things easier, feel free to email me to find out how to collect your booty.

Well done to the winners.The mud masks one should have won,it made me laugh the most anyway.

by Owen on Feb 29, 2008 2:04 PM EST reply actions  

some funny shit

by Relentless on Feb 29, 2008 2:05 PM EST reply actions  

WTF? Ok on the next contest im just going to think of the most horrible entry with no laughs or thought behind it and submit that cause those are what seem to win. I thought after the caveman winner (which was sooo terrible compared to the other entries) that there might be some well deserved winners this time. #1 isnt bad but really has nothin to do with UFC 82. I mean wow hes going to his normal wieght class. who cares has nothin to do with who has the most “pride” or will win or anything in regards to the actual fight or the event. #2 100% does not deserve to be there. #3 is pretty funny and i think definately beats #2. And the only other one that i think should be noted is the Diego “undercard”.

by UFC LOVA!!!!!! on Feb 29, 2008 2:08 PM EST reply actions  

good job to the winners.

before everyone brings out the insults that theirs did not win, remember what they were looking for.

still really like the arlovksi one…where is that pic from?

I thought my Lay n Pray poster was my worst one, lol. Congrats to the winners.

I agree

by ViolentMike on Feb 29, 2008 2:16 PM EST reply actions  

The hills have eyes and Diego undercard were the only funny ones that made it.

by c-war on Feb 29, 2008 2:21 PM EST reply actions  

I liked the “Lay and pray dont do shit against pitbulls” hilarious though not sure how “motivational”, and the UNDERCARD one with Diego..Brilliant

I’m pretty sure every one of the mentioned posters had something to do with UFC 82.

I love the Henderson one.

by the Purple Nurpler on Feb 29, 2008 3:29 PM EST reply actions  

I liked the picks. Thought the first two were pretty good. Personally thought the Hendo one was pretty good. Thought the mud masks pic was….a little odd to say the least. Especially for a couple of fighters. Diego is just friggin weird.

by wannabe on Feb 29, 2008 3:34 PM EST reply actions  

congrats to the winners. Good picks Mania, i agree with them all.

by Luke64 on Feb 29, 2008 3:36 PM EST reply actions  

So I assume whoever took the original pictures is getting a royalty out of this, right!

by phil mccrakin on Feb 29, 2008 3:39 PM EST reply actions  

Henderson was the best all round, the picture was great and it made more sense than the rest. But I think the “Plan B” and the Diego Sanchez one were good as well. The rest were weak.

You need to relax. Hopefully MMAMANIA continues to do this sort of thing. You should rethink your reaction to the entries.

by jess on Feb 29, 2008 3:45 PM EST reply actions  

I love the “it gets you lei’d” one. Great job all. Anyone know who is the guy to the right of Rich Franklin? Is it Jorge Gurgel?

by EazyEismydad on Feb 29, 2008 3:53 PM EST reply actions  

I thought they were all funny
Best fing overall had to be the first comment “Seriously”
hahahaha
That Lay’n’Pray pic, who’s the fighter?
It’s killin me that I can’t recognise him

by (Republic not Northern) Irish UFC fan on Feb 29, 2008 4:37 PM EST reply actions  

Good pics. Some creative, funny stuff. “Undercard” had me LMAO.

by SeeRed on Feb 29, 2008 4:56 PM EST reply actions  

Definitely thought the winner was deserving, I think it would be even better if it said Hedersons plural since he is with his son
Cool pic Im sure dan has it haging on his wall at home.

by dia mette on Feb 29, 2008 5:24 PM EST reply actions  

Good job to all the winners. I’m defo entering next time, it looks like great fun. I checked out some of the other ones too. A real nightmare to pick a winner. I like how mania balanced out the Arlovski takes there.

Undoubtedly there was a couple of other epics but they didn’t meet the criteria. More of this type of thing please Mania, even if there is no prizes.

by RobH86 on Feb 29, 2008 5:33 PM EST reply actions  

People, let’s get some perspective here. It’s a subjective contest judged by a guy giving out some nice prizes. Don’t let it ruin your life if he liked someone elses better than yours.

Anyway, I would love to see more of the entries. I’m sure that there are plenty that would make me laugh and that’s always a good thing. Any chance of posting more?

by Ray on Feb 29, 2008 6:07 PM EST reply actions  

I thought they all were great. The last one got me laughing the most though…lol..musical chairs.

by Robb on Feb 29, 2008 7:55 PM EST reply actions  

Wow winning a t shirt is cool enough just being reconized rocks.
Every one did a good job.
cant wait for the next one.

calm down buddy…it had to be related in anyway to UFC,which basically means using anyone whos on the UFC 82 card…all in good fun anyway

Here we go …

You’re right Mania.

It’s your contest and you gave away free shit so I cant debate how you pick the winners

I guess I was just dissapointed. Oh well, theres always next time

PS: Good job Dan, I thought yours was the best anyways

by ILJO on Feb 29, 2008 10:37 PM EST reply actions  

thanks man,hey you helped me figure out how to fit the pictures so I’ll buy you a sticker from mmawarehouse if you want hah

by Dan on Feb 29, 2008 10:58 PM EST reply actions  

haha, Ill take it!

by ILJO on Feb 29, 2008 11:13 PM EST reply actions

Yes it is. Tattoo on left arm is the same.

Can someone please tell me who the fighter in “Lay’n’Pray”?

by (Republic not Northern) Irish UFC fan on Mar 1, 2008 6:23 AM EST reply actions  

Yes it is. Tattoo on left arm is the same.

Anytime you see Franklin, Gurgel is always there. lol.

by Larry on Mar 1, 2008 7:28 AM EST reply actions  

I am not sure, but I think that is Evan Tanner, because I remember seeing that photo of him somewhere.

someone needs to back it up.

by Einar on Mar 1, 2008 7:30 AM EST reply actions  

I think the Dan Henderson one deserved to win. I also liked Hills Have Eyes, Plan B, and Musical Chairs. Hope to see another contest soon.

Keep up the good work Mania!!

Pretty sure it’s Jake O’Brien since He’s fighting Andrei ‘Pitbull’ Arlovski and he “lay n prrayed” his win against Herring/
