Quoteworthy:
"Every time I've fought I've gotten better. Every time I've lost I've gotten better. Even from my first fight I lost to Jesse Moreng seven years ago, I lost that one, but it made me a much better fighter. Same with Hermes, even the Cowboy fight. Even though I won that fight, I felt like that Cowboy fight made me a tougher man, and I think the loss with Ben is going to make me an even better fighter. Ben fought like a girl, he got lucky, and I was so angry and making excuses, but honestly looking back on it, I've had time to take a breath and relax and really reflect on the fight, and I had a lot of fun. I really feel like I'm the best lightweight in the WEC, and I definitely feel like I'm one of the top five lightweights under Zuffa."
Former WEC Lightweight Champion Jamie Varner (16-3) still feels like he is the best lightweight in the WEC despite a submission loss to Ben Henderson at WEC 46 back in January to cough up the title. "C-4" was trying to explode on the up-and-comer but had no answer for the "Smooth" strategy and left his neck out for a quick tap out. Is Varner the promotion's best 155-pounder who just happened to make a mistake? Or is "The Worm" getting buried under a new generation of up-and-coming lightweights?

does anyone else think .,..
Henderson, Cerrone, and Varner would have a hard time posting a .500 record in the UFC?
No one cares what you think Varner!!!

Always with an excuse
Varner seemed to be talking about something else, but then, out of nowhere, he has to say that in losing to Henderson, he learned something… even though “Ben fought like a girl, he got lucky.”
It’s really hard to support someone who has to impugn the character of the victor – especially when your attack doesn’t make any sense. What does me mean “fight like a girl”? I suppose fighting smart means fighting like a girl. As I remember it, it was Varner who lost because he was going for a takedown.
LoL... to add to Varner's "girl" comment
If Henderson fought like a girl, technically Varner lost to a girl then. Varner, you should really think before you open you douche mouth.

Varner is a douche'
If Henderson fought like a girl then Varner fought like a ‘little girl’… I hate that guy!!!
Fought like a girl??
Didn’t he make you tap??
Oh, yes, Meg, yes-yes yes, everything was going swimmingly for you until this. Yes, yes, THIS is the thing that will ruin your reputation, not your years of grotesque appearance, or your awkward social graces, or that Felix Ungerish way you clear your sinuses, no no no, it's THIS. Do you hear yourself talk? I might kill you tonight.
So is he saying that he lost to and got choked out by a girl?
What a roundmouth.
Lets tell this guy what a moron he really is. Tweet him @jamivarner with #varnerisamoron

Don't tell Jamie that Zuffa also owns the UFC.

Call out BJ penn if your ssssssssooo good
We all know if he does BJ will respond and destroy him if that bout somehow happend.
we should do a new poll. Who do you hate more Jamie Varner or Jake Shields.
Definitely Varner
I actually am a Shields fan and I can’t stand Varner, easy choice for me. Varner is talented but has no heart or character and spends more time looking for excuses than improvements. His fight like a girl comment is ridiculous he got beat by the better man simple as. I bet cyborg, Kaufman and gina would all beat him in a fight anyway.
"Not a lot of professional sports down here (in Australia)"
"We just had our best season (of TUF) last season and it was season 10"
"Nogueira is probabaly the best HW of all time"
Dana White, proving that he's clueless about Australian sports, has never heard of Fedor and is still trying to hype up TUF 10.
Prefer the picture with side boob.
Hint hint. There is not enough in this picture to distract me from Lightweight Tito. aka. excuse machine.

A dude named Jamie calling somebody a girl.
irony.
What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.
lol
Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.
So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.
Varner got his ass kicked by a Girl!!! =D
Do yur talking in the ring Varner & maybe people will give a shit!

Um, I thought from now on whenever there's a Jamie Varner article
that we were just gonna show random side boob and under boob pics? What gives?
thats a retarded picture, regardless of how hot his chick is.

Anybody else find these same old pics of Varner annoying? He can try to look as cool as he wants in the pics but we all know hes just a big wa**ker like the rest of us :P . Hey Varner how about a pic of you winning a fight? Or do you not have any????
