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...

Look, we’re a fan of any dude who rescues children from suffocating in a locked car and punches so hard that it makes him cry but let’s face it…Houston had the worst gameplan ever against Kimbo and it cost him his UFC career. He then went on to fight for the 5150 Combat League Heavyweight Title in January, where he lost to the “Mexicutioner”, Joey Beltran. Instead of taking some time to think things over and re-evaluate his mental preparation, it looks like Houston is jumping right back into action this April where he’ll meet Seth Petruzelli as it appears Ken Shamrock has dropped off the face of the earth and is no longer honoring his commitment to fight ‘Silverback’ Seth. Here’s a message Seth left for the UG last night:
These are 2 guys who have a collective total of 31 fights under their belts, 25 of which have ended in the 1st round. Neither can afford to run laps around the cage if they ever want to truly resurrect their respective careers. We don’t know who wins, but I do know that thanks to prop betting, picking this fight to end in the 1st round looks like a safer bet than the outcome of me vs. Tacos tomorrow night. I’m the -1500 favorite in that match-up. Those tacos have no chance. [Source] Share this story!           |

The past couple of years have not been great to Houston Alexander. It’s been a rough stretch. After blasting through your television set with redunkulous first round knockouts of UFC Veterans Keith Jardine and Alessio Sakara, we all had high hopes for the mean looking single Dad from Nebraska. Unfortunately, he went on to lose his next 3 fights in UFC forcing him to take a tune-up fight elsewhere before making an unsuccessful comeback against Kimbo Slice.
