About Us

Welcome to GUY CODE, the official blog of MTV2's "Guy Code" series and your online destination for all things dude, including—but not limited to—irreverent commentary on sports, hip-hop and ladies. Stay awhile and flex your manhood.

As promised, here's our interview with UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior Dos Santos. He may be a complete terror in the ring, but Andreas Hale found out Dos Santos is just a nice guy who's incredibly grateful for all his success. Junior explained how hearing his name after the phrase "undisputed heavyweight champion" has given him more confidence in the ring--but that doesn't change the fact that tomorrow's bout against Frank Mir will be his toughest yet.

We all know there's a big difference leading up to a fight when you're no longer preparing as the challenger to the title but rather when you're defending it. But the key for Dos Santos has been to hone his speed and power advantages. We also know that Dos Santos will be aiming for a knockout, but he says don't count out a surprise submission victory for Junior.

Ahead of UFC 146 tomorrow night, our very own Andreas Hale spoke with a whole slew of fighters during the UFC 146 workouts (think of it like Media Day at the Super Bowl). UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior Dos Santos shed some light on his strategy for challenger Frank Mir (he'll be going for a swift knockout), while Mir told Andreas he's going for a submission. They make it sound so easy!

But Andreas didn't just focus on the main event, he spread the love. He got some insights from Cain Velasquez and Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva, who are facing off in a heavyweight bout, as well as  Stefan Struve, Lavar Johnson, Roy Nelson and Shane Del Rosario. Check out the video for all the media day action. And if that's not enough to whet your appetite for all tomorrow night's action, don't worry: we've got full interviews with Dos Santos and Mir on the way.

UFC 146 Dos Santos vs. Mir is tomorrow night in Las Vegas and ahead of the action, MTV Clutch talked to our pal, the former host of MTV's "Bully Beatdown," Jason "Mayhem" Miller. He's taking on UFC noob C.B."The Doberman" Dollaway in one of the undercards, and in typical Mayhem fashion, he tries to strike the fear of God into Dollaway in this interview.

On paper it may not seem like a significant fight, but Miller knows this is a crucial bout for his career. Coming off a loss, he's at a crossroads, telling us that if he can't knock out this "entry level" fighter, it may be time to start thinking about retirement. Check out the interview below and see if you think he's still got a few good rounds left in him. We sure hope he does (although if he doesn't, that would give him more time to get "Bully Beatdown" back on the air).

Ca$h Out has firmly established himself as one of the hottest up-and-coming rappers in the game with his single "Cashin' Out." Anyone who follows hip-hop should already recognize him on sight. That doesn't stop The Check-In's Eric and Jeff Rosenthal from asking the hard question: "How do we know you're the real Ca$h Out?" Sure, he claims to be the real Ca$h Out on his Twitter, but how can we really be sure? After all, Jeff does an amazing impersonation of Ca$h Out, so how do we know he's not the real Ca$h Out?

After getting that settled, the guys want to make sure people understand that "Cashin' Out" is more than just a fun song. To prove it, Ca$h Out agrees to perform the song deadly serious. It's really a performance you have to see to understand and it's definitely something you won't get anywhere besides MTV Clutch.

Dustin "The Diamond" Poirier couldn't have planned it any better. Just as he prepares to fight in the main event of "UFC on Fuel" tonight against "Korean Zombie" Chan-Sung Jung, a movie documenting his rise in MMA is making its rounds. "Fightville" is being given the thumbs-up from MMA fans and moviegoers alike. Pretty awesome if you're a 23-year-old who was running with the wrong crowd just three years ago. Now, Poirier is inching closer to a UFC title shot and is being noticed in the streets as the guy in that MMA movie. Before he steps in the cage to go zombie hunting, Poirier sat down with MTV Clutch to discuss his movie debut, featherweight title aspirations and if Tuesday night will be the MMA version of "The Walking Dead."

Tim Burton's films balance absurdism with unsettling imagery, so it's no surprise he's a (crazy-coiffed) godhead to film students across the country. Which is why mtvU hooked up a lucky CalArts (Burton's alma mater) student for "#Ask" to interview the prolific director about his latest movie, an adaptation of the late '60s TV series "Dark Shadows." The film of the same name looks to carry on Burton's tradition, fusing vampire elements with disco days, and features longtime collaborator Johnny Depp again donning white makeup like a new Beetlejuice.

In this preview of the interview, Burton addresses a longstanding legend regarding himself and a California Institute of the Arts dorm door, a myth that's been whispered throughout the halls of the school for decades. Burton explains how his job as a carpenter who didn't know carpentry gives credence to the tale. As for the answer, well, he's unsurprisingly cryptic.

Check it out, and be sure to catch the full interview today, May 7 on mtvU.

"Dark Shadows" is in theaters Friday.

Iggy Azalea isn't the only Aussie out there making waves in hip-hop. Rapper/Singer extraordinaire Drapht hails from the West Coast (of Australia that is) and will be making his big U.S. debut with the release of his album Life Of Riley on May 8. Drapht already has his homeland in his pocket (Life of Riley is Certified Gold) and he's heading out here to do the same.

Drapht is known to drop some great pop culture references in his lyrics--like in his latest music video "Sing It (The Life Of Riley)"--so it's appropriate that he used TV as a reference when we asked for his Clutch Commandments. From "The Sopranos" to "Breaking Bad" and "The Wire," Drapht broke down the 10 commandments he's gleaned from watching great TV series.

The big winner of "Think Like a Man"--which knocked "The Hunger Games" off its perch after a four-week run at number one-- is Steve Harvey, who made a number one movie that made his own book the centerpiece of the thing ("Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man"). Now that is some serious cross/self-promotion. But the real big winner, to us at least, is comedian Kevin Hart. "Think Like a Man" is an ensemble style movie and Hart, as you would expect, plays the excitable, funny man. Based on his stand-up, that's pretty much Kevin Hart in real life (say it with your chest!). Meagan Good is pretty easy on the eyes but we could have used even more screen time from Hart. And what a year for the comedian. Earlier this year he won MVP at the NBA All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game, throw in a role in a number one movie and  all he needs to do for the remainder of 2012 is release another Comedy Central special and he'll win the just-invented Clutch Triple Crown. Here's MTV Clutch's Check-In duo talking with Hart at the All-Star Weekend.

Like MTV's reality show "Caged," the new documentary "Fightville" looks at small-town cage fighters in Louisiana to uncover the next generation of MMA, as well as the sport's struggle for legitimacy. While MMA is no longer underground, it's still met with confusion by many in the over-35 set. Movies like "Fightville" and "Warrior" are helping propel the sport into mainstream acceptance though. MMA's ever-growing list of celebrity fans, including everyone from Rihanna to Justin Bieber, certainly helps, too. By following Dustin Poirier's rise from backwoods brawler to the UFC, "Fightville" is the type of movie MMA buffs will eat up and non-fans will find as the perfect introduction.

MTV Clutch sat down with Michael Tucker, who co-directed the film with his wife, to get his take on MMA's evolution and seeing Poirier fight before he became Dustin "The Diamond."
