There's this episode of Man vs. Wild where Bear Grylls cuts open a dead camel, slices the stomach, scoops the grass in his belly and squeezes the water in his mouth. After drinking the contents of this dead camel's stomach, he continues to cut open the camel and crawls inside of it to sleep inside...
Last week, Phil Baroni made a little celebrity appearance in Mexico City where he informed the locals that those Aztec pyramids are pretty cool, but he is in fact 'the best evah'. According to Baroni, he made a trip south of the border to 'clear his mind' for his next fight in the UFC. This past w...
I'm sure you've probably stayed up late at night and tried to figure out what type of name 'Chael Sonnen' is. His mother chose his first name because it was the last five letters of the name 'Michael'. As far his last name, Sonnen's are heavily distributed throughout Texas and Pennsylvania. The la...
MiddleEasy sort of blew it's proverbial load with our list of Top Ten Fighters You Should Build a Shrine To. If you haven't checked it out (and there's absolutely no reason you shouldn't have), it's a sleek little list of MMA fighters that are entirely too rawesome for the sport. Somehow, in the f...
You guys know Hidehiko Yoshida. Destroyer of worlds, gobbler of galaxies, jambler of Jenga towers. Dude was like a +325 underdog in his Dynamite!! 2009 fight with Satoshi Ishii. For some reason, people thought that a guy with a 0-0 MMA record would steam roll over a dude that went toe to toe with ...
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! T...
Last night, Joe Rogan said Tito Ortiz had a 10th degree black belt in drama. I wonder where you get those. Actually, no I don't. I don't waste my time wondering about insignificant, theoretical martial-arts belts. It's just not what I do. I prefer to create articles based on what some guy said whe...
Well there you have it folks. Mark Coleman is finished. Done. Hammerhouse can retire in the back of whatever fictional garage it was housed under. As I was typing this, Tito Ortz was walking through the crowd and yelled something obscene at Mark Coleman. Mark looked back said '[Expletive] you' the...
Wallid Ismail needs to break down Mark Coleman's door one night and steal his nickname from whatever file cabinet he keeps it in. If the world is ill, Wallid Ismail is the true antidote. If Jesus works in mysterious ways, Wallid Ismail works by grabbing the microphone and saying whatever the hell ...
If Frank Trigg won, the title would have been 'Frank Trigg calculates Matt Serra' but it just doesn't roll off the tongue (or make any sense). It's a bummer that our Twitter buddy (and Jaco Clothing fighter) lost tonight but on the bright side...Matt Serra used a Lord of the Ring's reference in hi...

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.
