I understand a few MiddleEasy readers out there may not hail from the United States, so let me give you a brief summary on what the UFC is trying to achieve told by a guy that just spilled Fruit Loops over his coffee table. For those international readers who’ve never heard of ‘Fruit Loops,’ it’s
This morning, perched atop my pad in Hollywood, I sat near my windowsill and was affixed on two dogs attempting to have sex outside. From what I could see, it appeared that a havanese repeatedly attempted to mount a mastiff, which was easily quadruple his size. That dog, man, no force on this planet could
[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on DstryrSG, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] It’s no secret we love ourselves some world class Sambo around here. Maybe it’s because we see the family resemblance to BJJ, yet, at the same time, find the sport to be so different from BJJ. I’m speaking for myself
I feel like whoever sells the advertising for the mat in Bellator personally knows me and/or follows me on Twitter. A cage with men fighting filled to the brim with ads for EA Sports and Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is almost exactly what my brain looks like on any given night. Replace the crowd of people

Days before UFC on FOX, I repeatedly stated that I couldn’t envision a way in which Cain Velasquez could defeat Junior dos Santos. Many of you then stated something along the lines of ‘Dude, Cain Velasquez is going to beat dos Santos’ (you know who you are) but failed to tell me how. I consider
There was a time not too long ago where we all thought Lyoto Machida was unbeatable, but those were the 2009’s and back then we thought anything was possible. Free love, Twilight, Avatar and UFC Undisputed was in our disc trays…Those were simpler times. Wilder times. Since then, Jon Jones has taken his meteoric rise

Whenever a fight ends with a swift kick to the liver in any combat discipline, you can be sure one man is laying on the canvas in severe pain, and somewhere in the world, Bas Rutten has just knocked over a barstool in sheer excitement. It’s a similar reaction the entire MiddleEasy team shares whenever
Last night was all about pouring a bowl of Sour Cream & Onion potato chips and huddling around a laptop screen with your friends to watch the UFC prelims. It may have been the most historic evening of MMA in history, but we all spent it the same way we watch every other event; via
Everything that I’ve done since 11.11.11 is just a precursor until I zonk out on my sofa and play Skyrim for the remainder of the day. That’s why I made it a point to get the Sunday Morning Rumor Mill out as soon as possible. I couldn’t comfortably kill imperial soldiers knowing that I’m neglecting
Eventually we will be out of fossil fuels. The earth will be sucked dry of her resources and we will have nothing to power our our Iphone’s and Xbox’s. By the time the human populace runs out of distractions we will almost immediately turn to tribe warfare and cannibalism. I will let you in on
D-Zilla, you let us interview you when we were a fledgling MMA site that was thrilled to have creds to see Bobby Lashley defeat Bob Sapp. You were a product of Jeremy Horn and an Ultimate Fighter stand out. Our color palatte was black and red and their was stars everywhere. You were just beginning
Junior Dos Santos just cocked back his right fist, gathered the power of Brazil like the Green Lantern powering up his ring (notice how Brazilian colors are green and yellow) and obliterated the dome of Cain Velasquez in the opening minutes of the first round of the first fight ever on Fox, and in the
Clay Guida Vs. Ben Henderson just proved that you can burn an incredible amount of calories by sitting down and watching a fight on TV. In a 15 minute human tornado of hair, tattoos, guillotine chokes and BJ Penn style takedown defense, Bendo just outhustled the once thought outhustleable (my made up word of the
