OH: New Year's Wishes from Your Favorite Fighters
Happy New Year! And, welcome to 2012. I hope everyone had a fun and safe New Year's Eve and that everyone is enjoying this first day of the new year. This past year was a pretty good one for me but I am looking forward to changing a few things up in the new one to make it even better. With so many anticipated MMA events in 2012, you might be wise to make a resolution to watch more MMA. That way, you can for sure check one off as being accomplished. Make yourself feel good! Here is what some of your favorite fighters were saying about the new year on Twitter last night and today. Warning: there are a whole lot of them so pace yourself or maybe break it up into a few sessions (or just read enough to get the idea). I wish you all the best in 2012!

Jon Fitch gave me a happy new year...
Learn JiuJitsu.
Semper Fi'
SUPREMEREEM just gave Brock Liverkickulitis
jon did make me look smart
Literally 60 seconds earlier I was sayin “I don’t know man. If fitch is slow to start on the ring rust it’ll take just one hendrix punch to ktfo fitch” three guys around me are like " you give to much to riring rust and coming off injuries" I respond (right as the fight is about to start) “look what happened to cain velasquez last month after the surgery and layoff. If fitch doesn’t just immediately clinch til he finds his rhythm hell get the same treatment” then BOOM! Goes the dynamite.
The bottom line is Georges is being a little bitch. He didn’t step up and say anything when the UFC pulled me out of this fight. I understand sometimes you have to do what you’re told, but why wouldn’t you tell the media you still want to fight me? If I was Georges, I would want to fight the best. I would have asked for the Anderson Silva fight. I would have asked to fight the Strikeforce champ. But he sits there like a robot and doesn’t say anything at all, just like he’s not going to say anything about me calling him a bitch now. If I saw BJ Penn walking down the street and called him a bitch, we would be fighting right there on the spot. — Nick Diaz

of note
1. The situation, if that’s even on his birth certificate, shames his family
2. The girl with evan dunham worked at the tmobile call center in salem, or. She brought me to a bar once, where I was hit on by a man. I left her there
