Ronys Torres' corner made an egregious error at UFC 109 on Saturday night when their ice bag broke. Nevada officials only made it worse with their sloppy clean-up. Good thing Joe Rogan was there to so we didn't miss one second of the action... and to direct the clean-up process...

All UFC Hall of Fame: Ken Shamrock Picks Couture vs. Coleman
In what could be a classic wrestler versus wrestler match-up, what could be the deciding factor towards victory?
To find out, MMAInsider spoke to fellow UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock to see who he feels will come out on top and why.
"I've got Randy," said Shamrock. "The main reason why is that Randy is very dedicated to his training.
"He's always in good shape, he's tough and he doesn't mind the hardness of Mark Coleman."
While Shamrock wasted little time in choosing Couture, he feels that Coleman is far from overmatched in some areas.
"Mark's probably stronger than him," stated Shamrock. "Randy's strong, don't get me wrong – but I think unless (Coleman has) lost that, he is a very strong individual and I think he would have the strength (advantage) on Randy."
Strength aside, Shamrock pointed out what could very well be Coleman's Achilles' heel and ultimately cost him the fight.
"I don't believe (Coleman) will be able to get out of the first round because Randy pushes the fight too much," said Shamrock. "I just don't believe that Mark is going to have the cardio to go with (Randy) out of the first round."

Brian Stann: UFC Fighter, Twitter Advocate
A big advocate of Twitter, the "All-American," who has more than 800 followers, says he owes everything he has to the fans and they deserve every bit of what little he can offer.
"I'm trying man, I'm trying," he said of his recent Twittering accolades.
"Some of it's forced, but I try not to go too much into politics on my Twitter because I don't want to upset people, but I'm getting there.
"This sport -- anybody that's in it, were only going to last so long," said Stann.
"We're really the lucky ones that we even get to do it. We put up with some stuff, we got some smack talked about us, but they're really the best fans in the world that follow us on this thing and that pay attention to this sport and its fun," he added.
"It's fun to respond back to them. It's fun to keep them updated. I'm just really honored that anyone is that interested in my career that they would follow me and I really thank them for that.
"The sport has blown up. I used to leave my WEC fight, go to Lucky's and have a bite to eat and meet 10-15 people that came and were rooting for me during the fight and that was great to spend 15 minutes with them. But now, being in the UFC, the sport has gotten so big," said the 29-year-old Marine.
"You hit the lobby of the hotel and there's just a lot of people there and I think it's part of our job to stop and talk to those fans. The ticket prices are so high that people save all year long to watch us fight and that means a lot to them and they deserve that.
"We're not better than any one of them and they're basically paying our salaries. So they're paying for that time with you and you better give it to them."
