And the winner of the most recent MMAmania.com caption contest is:
"Introducing the newest additions to EliteXC’s heavyweight division."
Congratulations to MMAmania.com reader "James S" for the winning entry. As promised, we’ll send you an MMAmania.com t-shirt for being the best of the bunch.
With a total of 266 entries, it wasn’t easy coming up with a winner. For those of you who are scratching your heads over my pick, keep in mind this process is entirely subjective. It was all a matter of making me laugh.
Usually that honor is reserved for Mr. Mania's physical shortcomings, but in this case it was the caption by site regular James S.
If anyone cares, Josh Barnett defeated Tank Abbott in the main event of the Inoki Genome Federation’s August 15 pro wrestling event.
Try to contain yourselves.

I must be missing something because I didn’t find that caption to be remotely humorous.

??? I don’t get it. Someone want to explain the joke?
by RedDog on Aug 16, 2008 4:34 AM EDT up reply actions
I think its pretty funny. I’m a little biased though. Haha, I get a free T shirt biatches!
by James S on Aug 18, 2008 9:18 AM EDT up reply actions
Well then James S. should be thanking his lucky stars that I was the judge and not you…

Ahhhh’ without trying to erk’ the powers that be… ‘kinda amusing 4th grade humor’ but no chuckle fer’ me.

By the reactions u would think ur the Dana White of MMA Websites, The aftermath is more entertaining than the contest!

How can this even be funny when it would mean that Josh Barnett, a top five heavyweight, would be in the EliteXC? Plus, half of those guys could probably beat Kimbo Slice. Mine was “Tank Abbott was told to stand with the black team. Age has clearly effected his vision” That resulted from analyzing the picture and knowing that Tank Abbott is getting old. Did you by chance judge the Michael Bisping/Matt Hammill fight? Okay no more. I’m sorry. I thought I was going to win my own shirt and I was so excited. My day has otherwise sucked so I thought this would brighten it up but then one of the many EliteXC jokes beat me.

Sorry but that is the worst caption i read. Give someone a little power and see what happens.
by Brian "Bisping-Hater" on Aug 16, 2008 7:17 AM EDT up reply actions
hahaha oh well. If it really ain’t funny then I don’t deserve the win. I thought it was pretty good though.
by RyanHobbs on Aug 16, 2008 10:57 PM EDT up reply actions
Mania didn’t pick mine cos he didn’t wanna pay the P&P to Scotland!
by braveheart on Aug 16, 2008 4:31 AM EDT reply actions
You might as well give that award to like 20 people because there was so many EliteXC comparisons in all of those comments. I though “bispinghater” had some pretty funny ones. This one is just upsetting because in no way is this funny. Maybe it’s just because I thought mine was good enough to win. I didn’t see comments like this to be of any competition.

For some reason my other comment wasnt posted. I wanted an mmamania T-shirt. I was gonna wear it to every MMA event that I attended. Even the ones that they showed at resteraunts. I want a shirt.
by RyanHobbs on Aug 16, 2008 6:06 AM EDT reply actions
i’d buy one but with the price of shipping it to scotland i’d have to remortgage the fuc*ing house
by braveheart on Aug 17, 2008 7:10 AM EDT up reply actions
Maybe work out a trade. T-shirt for haggis?
by chefdaddy on Aug 18, 2008 9:35 AM EDT up reply actions
How bout this? You get 2nd place and I’ll ship you out a couple boxes or tissues to dry your tears. Stop crying you sore loser!
by ViolentMike on Aug 18, 2008 10:46 AM EDT up reply actions
weak choice Mania… that’s caption is not even funny! this should have been a pannel of 3 judges, beacause there would be atleast 2 that would have stoped you from making that pick. But i do like these contests, should do them more often
by MMA_MIND on Aug 16, 2008 7:20 AM EDT reply actions
One positive from that garbage was the news on Josh Barnett. War Josh!! Poor old Tank….. I respect Barnett and look forward to him facing off against Fedor once he’s cleaned up big Andre.

You’ll be looking in wonder when Arlovski KO’s Barnett

I know everyone here hate pro wrestling but RVD is the Fuckin Man!

Caption should be “The look of dissatisfaction on the faces of fighters after reading MMAMania’s caption contest.”
by DirtyML on Aug 16, 2008 9:43 AM EDT reply actions
LOL… I remember reading the winning caption and thinking, well that is neither clever or funny. Dumb…
by BNF on Aug 16, 2008 10:50 AM EDT up reply actions
that caption could have been clever if we overlooked the fact that Barnett is in the photo wich would actually be a GOOD addition to EliteXC. Weak.
by Bane on Aug 16, 2008 10:11 AM EDT reply actions
cant anyone just say congratulations to JAMES S. i saw alot of dumb captions (including my own) and really only found 1 or 2 that made me laugh. so congrats to james s
by b.w. on Aug 16, 2008 11:32 AM EDT reply actions
Barnett would make a great addition. That caption was horrible.
by Mike on Aug 16, 2008 11:34 AM EDT reply actions
I ussually come up with some decent ones, but this one had me stumped. Wasnt much going on in the picture, so, James S…I salute you.

Stop crying you bunch of pussies..I found the caption quite funny.
by StabToTheLiver on Aug 16, 2008 12:26 PM EDT reply actions
gee what a surprise… people complaining about the winner, happens with every caption contest because the people that think they are George F’n Carlin get all butt hurt because they didn’t win.
by kitsunex on Aug 16, 2008 12:36 PM EDT reply actions
Yeah, I thought it was funny. And for those that say Barnett is a top 5 Heavyweight, just because he fights for Affliction, doesn’t mean he’s really that good.
by Sean_M on Aug 16, 2008 12:49 PM EDT up reply actions
the funniest joke by far was ithe “i love new york contestants 3”
by braveheart on Aug 16, 2008 1:47 PM EDT reply actions
I thought that that won actually was funny.
But the funnies part of the caption contests is visiting the thread when the post the winner. Ryan Hobbs – PLEASE stop crying. How about this, you win 2nd place and I’ll ship you out a few boxes of tissues to dry your tears!!!!!
by ViolentMike on Aug 18, 2008 10:44 AM EDT up reply actions
thanks braveheart, i thought the winner was pretty lame.
by slaughter time on Aug 16, 2008 1:58 PM EDT reply actions
I didn’t see the captions, did anyone do “Steroids; They’re not just for baseball.”
by Freddy on Aug 16, 2008 2:02 PM EDT reply actions
Think a better caption would be “We’re here from the gangbang”
by Monster on Aug 16, 2008 2:43 PM EDT reply actions
Is that Scott Steiner in that picture? That guy is still freakin huge!
by bp on Aug 16, 2008 3:04 PM EDT reply actions
that was a crap winner – is it supposed to be funny? even if it isnt, it still sucks and makes no sense what so ever
by Insain on Aug 16, 2008 3:23 PM EDT reply actions
jesse are u gonna post runner-ups? or not for this one since it was short notice
by storhaug on Aug 16, 2008 4:44 PM EDT reply actions
how can that be funnier then "the mitchell report missed these guys???
by cyd cyanide on Aug 16, 2008 6:09 PM EDT reply actions
Now that is creative humor.. You win in my eyes, although that still = NO T-SHIRT!!!!!!!!
by pUniSHment on Aug 16, 2008 7:55 PM EDT up reply actions
the answer would be quite obvious – They are NOT involved with Baseball
by ViolentMike on Aug 18, 2008 10:47 AM EDT up reply actions
Guys, mania does a great job at running this site but it doesn’t necessarily mean he has a great sense of humor!
by knockout on Aug 16, 2008 7:17 PM EDT reply actions
Josh Barnett alone could clean out the UFC HW division
by dia mette on Aug 17, 2008 1:05 AM EDT reply actions
He could give Nog a hell of a battle like the first two times they fought but wouldnt be a lock to beat him again.
by Lucky Isi@h on Aug 17, 2008 11:27 PM EDT up reply actions
I highly doubt that. He lost to Mirko three times and you saw what happened to Mirko when he joined.
by Sean_M on Aug 18, 2008 2:33 AM EDT up reply actions
Everyone says jesse has no sense of humor, but every caption that was posted someone thought wasn’t funny. So if only two people find each one funny and everyone else says it’s stupid then how can you cry about his pick.
