""MMA is far bloodier than boxing. These guys will have multiple cuts—the middle of their forehead, their scalp. Head cuts bleed a lot. And the cuts are deeper, because of the elbows and knees. It's bone on bone.... I see so many cuts, [fixing them] is automatic for me. It's poetry in motion.""
-- ESPN the Magazine has a great article this month on the best cut man in the business, Jacob "Stitch" Duran. It talks about how he made it to where he is today and how his unique approach to closing cuts has helped several fighters, including UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Forrest Griffin, continue to compete after getting busted open "as wide as an elevator door." Very cool article. Very different ... go check it out.

“I get off on blood” sounds pretty psychotic to me.

Sounds like someone who found his calling. Besides looking like Geraldo the dude is a bad ass. We all get off on the blood if say you don’t you are lying to yourself.

Stitch is the sh$t, don’t hate. he makes more money than you.
Guys watch Randy’s first fight in the UFC. COUTURE vs HALME. youtube.
Does it remind you of an upcoming fight?

If I didnt know who Stitch was and saw that pic, first thing I would think of is PEDOPHILE. He does his job well though, creepy or not.

Poetry in motion and I get off and blood don’t sound like the same thing to me, but it is a weird thing to say.

In the actual article he says he “gets off on the blood.”

What is he a vampire? he should get together with blow job penn, and rob blood banks.

PSYQO, You must be one of those fans that use to run as fast as you could to the tv to catch Monday night raw or Smackdown or some sh$t. Bro, Brock is 2-1! Relax we know you WWF fans are DIE hard but anything can happen in MMa. It’s not staged, OK.
So 4 U to say that Randy has no chance in hell than obviously u know noting about this sport. It would be ignorant of me to say that Brock has no chance in hell against RANDY. THAT’S Y I DON’T
WE know you Brock ball jugglers don’t want to see him fall or tap like a bitch.

I could have used him this weekend. I caught an elbow between the eyes in a rugby game, and the cut didn’t stop bleeding until we super-glued it shut about 4 hours after the game.
