Following this ever-evolving Datsik story is like taking an elaborate journey down Joe Rogan's lungs and coming back to reality with the greatest contact high ever. Every time news leaks about Datsik breaking out a mental institution, it just makes me realize that knocking off chain of cellular ph...
The last time we dropped the words 'sleeper card' in an article, Shine Fights decided to implode like that high school chemistry experiment that went horribly wrong in science club. The night-shift janitor still resents you for the mess you made, regardless of how many years it’s been. Rather t...
The one and only summer my parents chose to send me to summer camp, I got suspended for pushing another kid in a street-hockey game. In retrospect, it made me much angrier that the loser told on me than if he would have just sucked it up and continued playing the game. I still don’t understand...
Whenever you see King Mo, you're guaranteed to have a coordinated dance number performed by a group of insanely hot chicks. I wish I could say the same for myself. Usually whenever you see me, you're guaranteed to also see a pair of worn Adidas and jeans that haven't been washed since Halloween...
After I posted the picture of Chuck Liddell with his mohawk shaved, a few people claimed Chuck took on an unsolicited aura of creepiness. Close your eyes and imagine what Chuck would look like playing with one of those infamous 'Shake Weights'. That's creepy. Now open your eyes. Ah, caught you. If...
'Don’t be scared homie' was a phrase reserved for use exclusively to or from the members 209, but I’ve already incorporated it into my day-to-day use. You can’t call yourself a true MMA fan if you’re spitting 'Don’t be scared homie' to your Starbucks barista in place of 'Thank you' afte...
Six days and a ton of old True Blood episodes later, we finally opened up our own MMA online shop. You guys twisted our ankles, busted us over the head with hockey sticks and shoved blunt plastic forks in our eyes for nearly a year to get this thing up and today, it's finally here. WorldOverEasy.c...
If any our list of the top ten list of fighters you should build a shrine to had an honorable mention category, Datsik probably would have sucker punched that fighter just to take his spot in line. This dude is so raw, words can’t do him justice, you just need to watch his highlight reel. Dats...
It's evident that a large portion of you that submitted designs for the VXRSI Shirt Design Contest will grow up to be successful CEOs of your own clothing company. When that happens, you can attribute all of your success to this contest. Don't worry, I won't take credit for it. However, I will exp...
When I'm having a hard time falling asleep at night I like to think about being Elastigirl for a day and count all the new jiu-jitsu moves I could invent with the power of Elasticity. If I ever have a magical genie in a bottle give me a wish I will wish to have elasticity, a giant inflatable c...

Sumotori Asashoryu, the Michael Jordan of Sumo, just retired last week and immediately Sengoku and Dream are eyeing him with some interest to join their respective rosters (Super Hulk Tournament 2010 anyone?). Asashoryu holds Sumo's highest title of Yokozuna and has won twenty five emperor cups! To put that in MMA terms he has won the equivalent of an open weight tournament that is filled with the top fighters 25 times. That's pretty awesome considering the guy is only 29 years old. The bummer side of this intriguing prospect are the allegations that he drunkenly broke some dudes nose last month and that is the main reason he is retiring from the sumo game. However, that doesn't mean MMA is out of the question for the grand champ. [Source] Check out a few of Yokozuna's incredible wins from a few years ago. As a reminder, in Sumo rules if any part of your body touches the mat, you are done. Asashoryu is in black.
