About MiddleEasy.com

We’re out to have fun and watch some kick-ass MMA. If that’s not your mission in life, then this site is not for you. If you stayed up until 10 am to watch an MMA event being broadcasted live from Japan, then this site is for you. If you’ve flown to another state to pay hundreds of dollars for a ticket to an MMA event, this site is for you.

If you bum off your friends satellite package to catch the latest live MMA events then this site is for you…but you should really shell out the dough to watch a fight. Don’t be that guy.
