I made a bet with someone last year that Rashad Evans wouldn’t receive a title shot in 2011. Now I wish I could remember who. I still can’t believe the circumstances that have led Rashad to still be on the sideline waiting for his shot seventeen months after beating Rampage. Sometimes in MMA, you must
I woke up with the intention of calling Chael Sonnen and pretending like I was going to buy real estate in West Linn, Oregon but then covertly turn the call into an impromptu interview.

This Shlemenko character, with a 41-7 ranked match record and a gameface of the real Shlemenko, didn’t speak a single word to us. A bit creeped out, we set up some matches for him
Just when you thought it was safe to walk around Phoenix, Arizona, Vinny Magalhaes gives us one more reason why no one should never expect to get their head kicked off their shoulders. I used a double negative there to pay tribute to the late 80s Nickelodeon gameshow ‘Double Dare.’ In retrospect, I would have beat that
Well, NickTheFace does it again. Another classic has been rendered and uploaded to the web to make us all satisfied in ways our chosen sexual partners will never understand…unless they are huge MMA fans. I mean, it’s Hendo and Shogun. Those two names have wins over almost every single fighter worthy of a mention in

Badr Hari is a sensational fighter with a very troubled past who has decided to move on to the Boxing world, at least for now. Watch the
If Kimbo Slice was paid for every time he’s been exploited, then he would — oh wait, he has. Who would have known that being a guy recognized for street fighting and rocking elaborate facial/head hair combinations would force one’s entire career to be pigeon holed into ‘that scary guy who beats up people.’ Why can’t Kimbo Slice be
Let this article serve as a reminder that M-1 Challenge XXVII goes down tonight at 11 PM EST/PST on Showtime. According to M-1 Global, the card is entitled ‘М-1 Challenge XXVII: Garner vs. Grishinbut,’ but Showtime has deemed the card ‘M-1 Challenge XXVII: Magalhaes vs. Zayats.’ However, the only thing you need to know is Nika is
If you didn’t know about BJ Penn’s long standing history with the Gracie’s and the 209 you should pick up BJ’s book; Why I Fight. In case the best seller isn’t in your immediate library, let me give you a quick piece of background info. After training with Ralph Gracie in the late 90’s BJ

Did you know there’s a dude on Dead Island named Marcus Davis? Yep, Irish accent and all. You have to help him fix some generators so the survivors can power up the lighthouse to signal for help. Is this Marcus Davis character a coincidence, or are the developers of the sleeper hit game huge fans
If you don’t know what it means to get ‘son’d‘ take a glimpse at this picture of Lyoto Machida. If we want to get really technical, Rashad Evans actually gets double son’d in this picture. The first son-ing is in the now infamous picture of a stanky leg Rashad Evans KO via Machida’s left fist. The second
No one has a party on a Friday morning except MiddleEasy and maybe a few other people that live in Hollywood. Lindsay Lohan has to be in there. Unfortunately, she doesn’t run an MMA site so we are forced to exclude her from our Friday Morning MMA Link Party. The tap is outside on the
Only five days until the final EA MMA Live Broadcast which is ironically celebrating the one year anniversary of the launch of the game. It’s like dying on your birthday. It’s very depressing.
