Mark Munoz reminds me of a guy that could conquer the Aggro Crag on his first try. He wouldn’t even need to climb that thing. Instead, Munoz would pound the floor in a steady succession until it would eventually crumble into a mound of plastic and chicken-wire — or whatever that thing was made out
Cain Velasquez was born in Salinas, California. The city’s nickname is ‘America’s Salad Bowl’ and it’s filled with a slew of American victorian homes. Cain Velasquez is American.

There’s not a single thing in MMA more interesting and dramatic than what has transpired between Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen over the past year.

Sure Joe Lauzon dropped and subbed Melvin Guillard, a fighter who was literally a step away from competing for the UFC lightweight belt, but let’s just hope Joe Lauzon made the wise decision to choose Battlefield 3 over Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for his military first person shooters. Technically, he could purchase both
MMA attire went Bloods vs Crips, Oakland Raiders vs San Francisco 49ers style this weekend over in Guam and before all of you MMA elitests go there, no-it was not a Tapout vs Affliction war. That fight goes down every weekend on the Jersey Shore with some random sucker punch style shots from the Ed Hardy wearing crew.
If the news that Herman Cain was accused of sexual harassment way back in the 1990’s has sent you into apathetic voter mode-just calm down a minute and realize that almost every man over the age of 23 during the 90’s could have been accused of sexual harrassment. Sexual Harrasment suits were all the rage

While Kenny Florian was walking out to face Jose Aldo, Joe Rogan speculated that maybe growing up playing soccer had something to do with kicking power as a martial artist, noting correctly that both Florian and Aldo had played soccer at a high level before becoming professional mixed martial artists.

When we interviewed Fedor Emelianenko, one of the first questions we had to ask was ‘What was going through your head when Randleman suplexed you in that epic Pride FC fight?’ The Last Emperor told us ‘I wasn’t thinking, I was just concentrated on the fight and acted accordingly.‘ Spoken like a true warrior and

Some of you may have been diagnosed with radiation poisoning from that hydrogen bomb Anthony Rumble Johnson detonated on Charlie Brenneman’s face at UFC Live: Cruz vs. Johnson. If you have, it’s alright, just look at it as another way to take off a week from your job. We’re not sure when the athletic commission
I really wish the Middle Easy April fool prank was a real site. If you don’t remember, the site was transformed into the video game site Middle EAsy, “because EA is everything”. The only thing more fun that watching and writing about MMA is playing and writing about video games. If I wrote for this
Halloween may be over, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop sending yourself into a sugar coma. Go ahead, eat all the candy you can get your little hands on. You’ve earned your stash of individually wrapped morsels of high fructose corn syrup. Now grab a few Tootsie Rolls and enjoy this clip of
[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on FighterXFashion.com, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] Ready for UFC 137? Penn vs. Diaz, Kongo vs. Mitrione, Cro Cop vs. Roy Nelson…needless to say it’s a mighty stacked card.

Of course, the ‘sacred time’ Eliade is referring to
