Jacob Volkmann takes on President Obama again at UFC 141
LAS VEGAS - The last time Jacob Volkmann tried to make a political statement about the President it resulted in some uncomfortable times for the UFC fighter.
Apparently, Volkmann is a glutton for punishment or simply wants to exercise his right to speak freely because he fanned the flames again tonight at UFC 141.
After his victory over Efrain Escudero, Volkmann asked UFC analyst Joe Rogan if he could say two things.
The first was an attempt to call out the UFC lightweight champion.
"Frankie [Edgar], work on your takedown defense. I'm comin' and I'm taking you down," said Volkmann.
Next he turned his attention to President Barack Obama.
"Obama needs a glassectomy. Ask me what a glassectomy is, Joe," said Volkmann.
Rogan obliged.
"It's where they remove the belly button and put a piece of glass in there so you can see what you're doing while your head's up your [expletive]," said Volkmann.
Rogan gave the fighter a strange look and the quip went over like a lead balloon with the crowd in attendance at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

In a postfight interview, Volkmann explained why he took on the President again.
"The whole thing is a joke. He's a joke of a President and I'm just trying to get the point across that his decisions are based on ... it's not based on facts, it's based on who pays him the most money ... it seems like. He's not thinking things through enough," said Volkmann.
Volkmann got some national attention following UFC 125 when he ripped Obama during a postfight interview (2:54 mark). Volkmann told AOL Fanhouse that he wanted his next fight to be against the President. He also called him an "idiot." To no one's surprise, Volkmann got a visit from the Secret Service just two days later. He was also reprimanded by the high school where he serves as an assistant wrestling coach. Volkmann got two weeks paid leave from his job.
The worst came from a brief television appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
"The hardest thing was the death threats and the emails and the calls, and my wife ... she was crying pretty hard," Volkmann said.
He's not worried anymore about any backlash.
"I think that's over. Nobody cares [anymore], really. Who really cares, to be honest? I'm stating my opinion. Everyone's entitled to their opinion," said Volkmann.

Diplomat, general and NHL coach among Order of Canada recipients
Hockey coach Scotty Bowman, sportscaster Brian Williams and former prime minister Paul Martin are among 66 notables being inducted to or promoted within the Order of Canada.
Former Canadian diplomat Robert Fowler, retired chief of defence staff Rick Hillier and Canadian Lt.-Gen. Charles Bouchard, who commanded the recent NATO military mission in Libya, are also among those receiving honours.
Storyteller Stuart McLean, host of the CBC Radio program The Vinyl Cafe, was made an Officer of the Order of Canada.
Others being honoured include: Kevin Lynch, former clerk of the Privy Council; billionaire Seymour Schulich, an investor and philanthropist; lawyer and businesswoman France Chretien Desmarais, the daughter of former prime minister Jean Chretien; newspaper columnist Alain Dubuc and Open Text Corp. chairman Tom Jenkins.
Bowman joins such hockey greats as Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Bobby Orr in the Order of Canada.
Considered one of the greatest hockey coaches of all-time, Bowman won a record nine Stanley Cups behind the benches of the Montreal Canadiens, Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings.
Bowman holds the record for the coach with most wins in league history. He was inducted into the NHL Hall of Fame in 1991.
Williams, perhaps best known for his coverage of the Olympic Games, has worked as a sportscaster for CBC and CTV.
Martin was the Liberal prime minister from 2003 to 2006 after serving as Chretien?s finance minister. He was named to the Order?s highest rank, Companion, ?for his distinguished contributions to Canadian politics and for his active involvement in promoting opportunities for Aboriginal Canadians.?
Fowler was kidnapped with colleague Louis Guay and held hostage by an al-Qaida faction for almost five months in the Sahara Desert. He and Guay were released in March 2009. Prime Minister Stephen Harper insisted no ransom had been paid for their release.
Hillier, the straight-talking Newfoundlander who rose to the job of Canada?s top soldier, was named to the second-highest rank, Officer of the Order. He did more than perhaps any other military leader to rally Canadians around their men and women in uniform during the early years of the war in Afghanistan. He was also instrumental in wrangling new money and equipment for his troops.
The Order of Canada recognizes a lifetime of outstanding achievement, dedication to the community and service to the nation.
Chosen by an independent panel based on nominations from the public, the order has three levels of membership ? companion, officer and member.
The awards will be presented by the Governor General at a ceremony at a later date.

Football: Liverpool go fifth after victory
December 30, 2011 -- Updated 2152 GMT (0552 HKT)
Craig Bellamy celebrates his second goal in Liverpool's 3-1 victory over Newcastle.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- Liverpool are up to fifth place in the Premier League after 3-1 victory over Newcastle
- Craig Bellamy scores twice and captain Steven Gerrard nets the other in Liverpool win
- Newcastle remain seventh in the table after their fifth league defeat of the season
(CNN) -- Liverpool recovered from going a goal behind to defeat Newcastle 3-1 on Friday, a result that lifts them up to fifth place in the English Premier League table.
Although unbeaten at home, Liverpool had drawn six of their nine matches -- and the Anfield faithful looked to be heading for another frustrating evening when Newcastle took a 25th minute lead.
Ryan Taylor's cross from the left the ball was missed by Yohan Cabaye, but the ball struck Demba Ba's shoulder and then defender Daniel Agger's back before finding the back of the net.

However, the home side drew level just four minutes later when Charlie Adam's cut-back from the right of the area was not cleared by the Newcastle defense and Craig Bellamy was on hand to fire home through a crowd of players to level against his former side.
The scoreline remained the same until midway through the second half when Bellamy netted his second of the game from a direct free-kick with defender Danny Simpson getting in the way of goalkeeper Tim Krul, resulting in the ball going between the pair of them.
Newcastle nearly got back into the game when Ba chipped the ball over the advancing Pepe Reina, only for Martin Skrtel to race back onto his line to superbly clear the ball away.
And Liverpool wrapped up the victory in the 78th minute when captain Steven Gerrard came off the substitutes' bench to net the third from an acute angle.
The result means Liverpool go above Arsenal into fifth place in the table, level on 34 points with fourth-placed Chelsea but having played a game more, while Newcastle remain in seventh after their fifth defeat of the season.
Manchester City and Manchester United head the table on 45 points going into the weekend's matches against Sunderland and Blackburn respectively.

As year closes, open your eyes to 5 standouts
Department of Public Safety Trooper Ryan Case said Eric Wright Jr.'s name was on a rental agreement for one of the cars that collided Friday in East Texas. He says Wright was mistakenly listed as killed but actually was not involved in the wreck.
Wright, who raps under the stage name Lil' Eazy-E, posted on Twitter that close friends died. Those killed in the rental car were: Debra Thompson, Curtis Sanders, Michael Mathis and Lawrence Bridnac III.
Those killed in the other car were 29-year-old Sonia de la Torre and her three young children.
Case said investigators may never know what caused the collision. One of the vehicles crossed the center line, but it's not clear why.
The fiery wreck occurred on a curve about a mile outside of Annona, a town about 150 miles (240 kilometers) northeast of Dallas.
Authorities said there were no witnesses to the crash on a remote stretch of U.S. 82, and everyone in both vehicles were killed. There were no skid marks, and investigators do not know how fast the vehicles were traveling.
The eastbound car with the four California residents crossed a center line and struck de la Torre's westbound car. Her 8-year-old daughter Erica, 6-year-old son Saul Jr. and 10-month-old son Eric were riding with her.

Surveys shows China manufacturing slowing further (AP)
BEIJING ? China's manufacturing slowed in December for a second month due to weak global demand amid U.S. and European economic woes, a survey released Friday showed.
The latest HSBC Purchasing Managers Index added to growing signs of strain on China's manufacturers and exporters. They have been battered by a plunge in global demand and lending curbs that have driven thousands of entrepreneurs into bankruptcy, wiping out jobs and raising the specter of unrest.
The index for December stood at 48.7 on a 100-point scale on which numbers below 50 indicate a contraction in activity. It said companies reported a drop in foreign orders due to sluggish global demand.
"Weakening external demand is starting to bite," said HSBC economist Hongbin Qu in a statement with the survey.
The latest data will add to pressure on Beijing to ease spending and lending controls to stabilize growth and spur job creation, Qu said.
"Hard landings should be avoided so long as easing measures filter through in the coming months," he said.
China's export growth declined in November for a third month, falling to 13.8 percent from the 15.9 percent the previous month.
The slump in global demand has battered export-driven southern coastal regions, where thousands of small companies have been driven out of business and the survivors have laid off tens of thousands of workers.
Smaller private companies were hard hit by bank lending curbs imposed to cool inflation and a boom in housing prices. The government has promised to have state banks lend more to help struggling entrepreneurs but says most of its curbs will remain in place.
