Brian Ebersole talks like he's always on the verge of giving away the punchline to some elaborate joke that not only involves your mother, but every person in your family. Since MiddleEasy has been in existence, we've created a signature shirt for one MMA fighter, and we still believe it's the greatest shirt in the history of the sport. Brian Ebersole's 'Hairrow' shirt is something of legend. At least we like to think it is. Since he's been rocking the signature thread, he's gone undefeated in the UFC and is riding a smooth ten-fight winning streak with his only loss coming via a knee injury against Hector Lombard. Looking back at the fight, Ebersole told us that he probably could have gone on to finish the fight and possibly win, but he was thinking long-term health as opposed to short-term benefit. Props to him. Don't worry, I've already found the fight for you on YouTube.

We caught up with Ebersole as he temporarily relocated to Las Vegas to train with BJJ wizard Robert Drysdale for his upcoming UFC on FX 4 bout against TJ Waldburger. TWAS (The White Anderson Silva) told us what we all pretty much knew, the UFC welterweight division is an absolute clusterf***, and Ebersole breaks down exactly why that is in our brief interview with him. Also, be sure to follow Twas on Twitter at @TwasEbersole -- don't worry, he already wants to be your best friend.

I love how a dude from the Midwest uses "mate" on the regular in his vernacular.

Yo Middle Easy can you make it possible to fullscreen the embedded Youtube videos? I check for 720p normally, but nothing happens when I press the fullscreen button.

Oh, and the interview was cool, big ups to Ebersole, a genuinely nice guy and a very entertaining fighter.

Yes Ebersole lived in Australia, if you check his record he fought a bunch of fights over there between 2008 and 2010.

Please do. That was fun!

Just hoping ED BAVELOCK can keep out of it. That rant of his was not proper in any sense. Grammar, authenticity, and morality were all quite off..... Coach would never speak like that.

I love you Brian. I watch all your fights in the nude. In fact, I force my entire family to get naked while we watch your fights... it's not weird; it's passion.

Entertaining as always my friend! I'll be viewing your fight on the 22nd and looking forward to getting you to cut out a niche in your schedule to come visit in my neck of the woods shortly thereafter. I too will be rooting for Guida! P.S.: My daughter is your biggest fan under the age of 8, and she can't wait to meet you live and in person!! Love ya, buddy and talk soon! Twas was here!!!
