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...

Gina Carano isn't the only chick that can pose topless on the cover of a magazine and show absolutely nothing. Damn. I remember those days when topless meant what it said it meant. Now topless is just another way MMA websites force people to click on links (don't look at us). Check out Cris Cyborg's topless shoot on the cover of this month's issue of Ultimate MMA and if you really wanted to see someone topless, I suggest you watch TUF 10. [Source]

Man female MMA has a long way to go.
They cry out for legitimacy and want to advance this sport into the limelight yet they take their tops off everytime a camera is shoved in their face. Way to go girls.
Make up your mind already. Do you want to be a stripper or a fighter?
Drop the pretentious pretty girl attitudes and fucking do what you were paid to do.
The retarded thing is, nobody is forcing this obsession upon on aesthetics on them apart from themselves. It's just good ol' female peer pressure.
Girls like Carano are just idolised by the rest of the up and comers.
"Goddamn. She needs to fight with a brown paper over her head, with some eye holes. "
maybe you should make up your mind as well, Joey...
(i had better get my effing middle easy tee shirt for that)
Get over yourselves. Taking your shirt off (and not showing your tits) doesn't make you equivalent to a stripper.
"The retarded thing is, nobody is forcing this obsession upon on aesthetics on them apart from themselves. It's just good ol' female peer pressure."
Cmon, you swear. So you gotta be ugly to be a fighter? So in your head, the moment a female fighter acts like any other girl, she is no longer a fighter... how the hell do you reason that? If you find Female MMA boring then don't watch it (Personally, I can somewhat agree with that). It will go away if people don't watch. But zip up the attitude and stop making every guy look as bad as you.
How many Male MMA fighters have posed for photo shoots in GLAMOUR magazines? Go ahead, Google to your heart's content and try to come up with 1 name aside from Tito, GSP, and Randy Couture?
I'll be waiting....
"Taking your shirt off (and not showing your tits) doesn't make you equivalent to a stripper."
Uh just because their tits aren't facing the direction of the lens doesn't mean they aren't topless. That's like saying "Hey walking around in public in a loin cloth isn't indecent exposure, because my mom can't see me!"
It's still nudity.
It's abundantly clear they are posing for sex appeal marketing and eroticized photography, it's not like they're doing this in the name of art, or sports or research. Sex sells and they know it. Half of the magazines they're on are shit like Maxim, FHM and other exclusively male-oriented publications.
At least Carano was posing for an ESPN photoshoot detailing different athletes and their differing physical construction.
You don't have to be drunken bar-room brawler to be in MMA but that being said, it's MMA. It's not MMAM (Mixed Martial Arts and Modelling). You're hear to fight. It's not the WWE for god's sake.
You want a career in posing and looking pretty, get the fuck out. It's that simple.
There are no male MMA superstars who are also big name Calvin Klein models and do a lot of interviews for Playboy and sell their image and name based on their looks. They're dedicated, full-time, 100% martial artists who thrive on performance and results.
Women need to understand if they want to be treated equally and given a fair chance, you've got to act and conform to universal standards. Get with the program.
Just because they're female doesn't mean we have to rearrange the entire MMA world to suit women's delicate sensibilities and make MMA more friendly towards girls by letting them engage in derogatory sideshow nonsense.
Get the gym. Train your ass off. Fight. It's that simple. If you want to succeed there's room for little else.
"How many Male MMA fighters have posed for photo shoots in GLAMOUR magazines? Go ahead, Google to your heart's content and try to come up with 1 name aside from Tito, GSP, and Randy Couture? I'll be waiting...."
Dude, what's your point? It's a freaking business. 99% of fighters don't get asked to go on those magazines (or most would because it would bring their value up... bigger pay day): 1. They are wannabes, 2. They're ugly, 3. They're not in demand. You're gonna castrate people for being able to make a living for posing a day or 2 out of their lives? That smells like some jealousy. I hope you castrate all the male athletes of Basketball, Football, and etc. Apparently, since they have time to take photographs, own clothing lines, party, and etc... they all must suck at whatever sport they're in. Btw, Thanks for naming 3 for me, its not like I would google that anyway.
"Uh just because their tits aren't facing the direction of the lens doesn't mean they aren't topless. That's like saying "Hey walking around in public in a loin cloth isn't indecent exposure, because my mom can't see me!"

You completely avoided the point. That sentence makes me go "WTF?" You were comparing these women to strippers. Quote: "Do you want to be a stripper or a fighter?" My response:"Taking your shirt off (and not showing your tits) doesn't make you equivalent to a stripper." There is a way to show off your body and still be tasteful... I don't see how this makes a female fighter a stripper. Anyway, I wish you could say that to Cyborb's face... The internet breeds too many arrogant assholes.
No, I don't need to pretend to be two different people to talk to you, I would like to take full credit for my posts. I found the link through my friends facebook... so I'm gonna just give it a nice guess that some else found the link about the same time I did.
Anyway, your logic is lacking. We'll never come to an agreement so I'll stop wasting your time as a fighter and let you get back to your "full-time" training.
Here is a more affective way to get rid of the female fighters that you don't like: Stop posting to their articles. "Even bad publicity is good publicity." You're making this link more popular because you paid attention. CC is getting more cash in the end because of you. And please help yourself to google so that you can figure out how name searches/hits bring more value to a person. You seem to be a fan of google.
Why do you care if these women get to the gym or not? It will hurt their end game if they stop training... then new and better fighters will come out. What CC or GC does will ultimately show up in their fights. If these two girls can make money and fight, they sure beat the hell out of every one of us on here. At least they don't have the time to post on stupid internet articles.
I like how you pretended to be two different people there, whoever you are. Really cute.
Next time, get the sand out of your vagina before posting.
"Oh lordy. The Feminazi & Female Sensitivity Patrol arrives right on time. Choo Choo." Hahahaha...that started my morning off great.
Is it possible? A rational argument from a female?
Some one wake me up.
"I don't see any of the male fighters prancing around photoshoots in speedos with airbrushing to accent their six packs. Bringing up male fighters with no shirts on was just downright stupid."
Male fighters pose for photos too. And you do realize that almost everything that comes out of a magazine is AIRBRUSHED right? Even if you request that it not be airbrushed, if the editor doesn't like the final shot, they would pull your pictures and replace you. You think that a picture with a mid-air punch or kick is done in a minute? Out of natural talent? Photographers have to sit there and repeat those shots for awhile.
"To the girls that posted: stop defending these two women when you know for a fact that when out and about and you see a girl dressed too provocative, you don't sneer and point your noses down at them. Ha."
"Ha" once you re-write that sentence. You can't win a conversation if you're the only one that understands your logic.
