So here’s a promo of this EFC Africa we’ve been talking about…

We’ve been intrigued by this promotion coming out of Africa called EFC — and it all stems from Halo 2. According to the game, sometime in the far future a megalithic city emerges somewhere in Africa called New Mombasa. Eventually it gets attacked by aliens known as The Covenant and humanity has to rally to

Oh no! Looks like Daniel Cormier is now sporting a broken fist

There are some things in life that are just givens. A girl with a very low cut shirt walks by-all men and honestly most women’s eyes are instantly drawn to the cleavage. It’s a given. Today while Bauzen is awake he will think about tacos in any derivative of definition at least 12 times today. This too, is a given.

Feijao knocked out Yoel Romero with a ‘really broken’ arm

Put the weird dance off that was the first round aside and we had a memorable slugfest between two heavy handed 205’ers on the Strikeforce prelims Saturday night. Feijao’s performance was impressive, but what’s more impressive is the fact that he entered that wild second round with a broken arm and still pulled out the

Well at least Kimbo Slice has no problem attracting the opposite sex

Alright, admit it. Kimbo was the equivalent of a kid holding a roman candle directly at your face. He brought MMA to the mainstream, sizzled everyone’s face with blazing-hot fire, then quickly burned out leaving everyone with third-degree burns on their forehead. Even the naysayers looked at Kimbo in awe as he flattened out opponent

Paul Daley gives MiddleEasy and Whoa! TV a post-fight analysis of his BAMMA 7 bout

It’s hard to describe a person like Paul Daley when you’ve spent years using every adjective, metaphor and comedic exaggeration to depict his punching power. Paul Daley punches like the guy who drops every available skill point he has in his ‘Offensive Skill Tree.’ Perhaps the only avenue left in describing Daley’s plutonium laden fists is to use vague

The bicep lock is still illegal in BJJ, but don’t tell Comprido

[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on DstryrSG, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] Actually, I’m sure he knows. And, it’s actually legal for black belts (and brown belts). I thought it was completely illegal in IBJJF rules, but I was wrong. Now I’m going to bicep crank the crap out of every brown

A new edition of ‘Baller or Buster’ is here

I trained hard for this article. Had to put in a long eight-weeks at Camp Anawanna to get my Ug-Jitsu on par with everyone else. My Donkeylips Kung-Fu is strong enough to step into the mosh-pit of a Killer Tofu concert without being hurt. I think ‘I need more allowance‘ was their best song, but they

If you’re in the area, U of MMA goes down in Hollywood today!

Hollywood exists to make people believe the rest of the world is real. That sentence is adapted from a Jean Baurdrillard quote on the concept of Disneyland, but it still holds true. Never have I lived in an area where at any given location, everyone is within walking distance of at least three places to

Cooking with Tim Kennedy: French Onion Soup with Beef Wellington

5 weeks ago I was 184.9lbs. Today…. I’m… Well… Quite a bit more. There are recipes that I use when I’m cutting weight, and there are recipes that I make when I want something easy, these of neither of those. It has been over a month since my last fight. I was considering getting back

The Bellator undercard standout is back with yet another dominant victory, this time over wrestler Scott Heckman.
