A couple of days ago on MMAJunkie radio, Mike Pierce called out Thiago Alves and had some pretty decent smack talk regarding Alves on Facebook. On Twitter, Pierce said 'This place is as dead as Thiago Alves' and 'Thiago Alves to be featured on Biggest Loser on Dec 23rd'. He even asked Dana to gi...
It's the only MMA any of us will be seeing this week, so if you vehemently hate the sport of mixed martial arts, despise equally matched title fights and refuse to see spectacular finishes, don't watch Bellator 27 tonight on Fox Sports West. Your friends will make fun of you behind your back, but ...
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Nick Diaz and KJ Noons rivalry, the beef started back in Elite XC where a controversial doctor stoppage handed Diaz his only loss in the past 3 years. Winning a fight due to a doctor stoppage in the first round is a lot like winning a competitive ea...
When the Kool-Aid man breaks through a wall in a commercial, all the kids start cheering. Imagine a seven-foot pitcher full of Kool-Aid breaking through your house screaming 'Oh yeah!', it's a horrifying thought. He might spill over and get some of himself on the carpet. The worst thing is, you ca...
In all fairness, the entire MiddleEasy crew was supposed to go to the UFC Fan Expo in a taco truck and serve up carne asada goodness for fans of the site. Sadly the idea didn’t work out after we learned that tacos are not an approved cuisine at the John B. Hynes Center. Not sure what Boston ha...
I could be looking too far into it, but when Dana says that you '[Expletive] the UFC' by pulling out of the fight the day before weigh-ins, it looks like that may denote a lifetime ban. In fact, it did constitute a lifetime ban in the promotion, but in ZUFFA years, a lifetime is only ten months....
The greatest thing about Alistair Overeem accepting Fedor's challenge to fight him after he's done with the K-1 Grand Prix is that he actually watched a Bloodstain Lane video on a message board and responded. Next step for Alistair Overeem is to accept my friend request on Xbox Live. The guy plays...
I used to think the meaning of life was somewhere inside the cut Jose Benevidez left on Miguel Torres’ forehead, but it turns out those were just Miguel’s deepest thoughts about the perfect plate of carnitas after a warm bath. If the meaning of life was actually hidden in plain site, it would...
A lot of people criticized Strikeforce’s decision to give Brett Rogers a title shot immediately following his loss to Fedor Emelianenko last year. This past spring, Ubereem agreed with those critics as he made short work of Rogers and ended his first title defense in just shy of four minutes. ...
Carlos Newton should be undefeated based on how cool he looks. The same goes with Sokoudjou or any other guy that competes in MMA with a full set of dredlocks. We all wanted them, but our parents firmly held onto the belief that long hair was a gateway drug that led to smoking marijuana, wearing t...

A few weeks and a Dynamite!! 2009 explosion to Misaki's face later, we have confirmation that Robbie Lawler will bang against Melvin Manhoef on the Strikeforce: Miami card January 30th. We can't tell you who the source is not because we're trying to be egotistical incogdouches. Not at all. We were just don't want the person to get into any legal troubles with Strikeforce. This came from a very, very close person to Melvin Manhoef so close in fact that they may even be related. Back in August, Scott Coker said he would like to put together Melvin Manhoef vs. Robber Lawler, Shinya Aoki vs. Josh Thompson or Gilbert Melendez. So far the only fight that has materialized (as of a few minutes ago) is Manhoef vs. Lawler. Aoki vs. Melendez is rumored to go down sometime in 2010 and according to Aoki, right around March-May...right after he returns Hirota's arm to his socket. Share this story!           |

My favorite Robbie Lawler story is non-existent because I don't have one. Sorry. However I can tell you that when he KOd Joey Villasenor in Pride FC with that insane flying knee, that pretty much landed him on the map. Last month we said if it were up to us and we had the Strikeforce edition of 'Choose your own adventure', we would immediately turn to the page that begins with 'Melvin Manhoef gets on a plane to Miami, Florida'. He's perhaps the most interesting match-up for Robbie Lawler.
