Was she from Pennsylvania or West Virginia? My grandmother grew up in Pennsylvania and she has been saying You-ins or "Yins" all My life. I've still got family down in McKeeseport and they all talk like that. "Yins go warsh up for dinner".

No she lived her entire life in a suburb of Indianapolis. There is quite a bit of rural farmland around Indianapolis proper. I lived in Indy (actually a suburb called Plainfield- which was fitting- but it was really still part of Indianapolis) and it was way more rural feeling than the city I live in now, which is right on the Kentucky border and is stranded out here with no real metro around.

I don't even understand what you-ins is supposed to be. You Guys = You Guys. Y'all = you all.

What the fuck is You-ins?

It's Pittsburgheese. It's a scotch-irish twist on "you ones", of course ones sometimes pronounced yins by the accent. Therefore "you ones" became "you ins"

Interesting. Thanks for the lesson there, Ludo.

Anyone here think Sherk could've beaten BJ if he had gone to his wrestling like he should have?

No way brah. BJ was motivated in that fight, Sherk had no shot.

Real talk, I dont think it would have made a difference. He would have got a million hammer fists will holding BJ up against the cage like Diego did.

[SPX]

Yeah, but Sherk is a better wrestler than Diego.

Dan Severn is finally on the way out. I thought he would hit at least 150 wins. When we spoke to Dan Severn he told us he was in talks with Ken Shamrock and Mark Coleman for one more scrap each, in an attempt to avenge the losses he suffered to them at UFC 6 and 12 respectively. Now The Beast has confirmed that Ken Shamrock has agreed to fight him and it's going down this fall.

"Ken has agreed to fight me. Most likely at King of the Cage and it should happen sometime by fall."

Another interesting tidbit from early UFC records:

There are a handful of fights where the submission method is identified simply as "choke."

For instance:

Mark Coleman/Julian Sanchez at UFC 11
Steve Nelmark/Marcus Bosset - UU 96
A whole bunch of motherfuckers - UFC 12
Tony Frykland/Donnie Chappell - UFC 14

All winners via "choke."
