It’s damn tough to enjoy the rest of UFC Live: Hardy vs. Lytle when you’ve just been informed of the passing of Shawn Tompkins. There’s not much information out there, but it appears that Shawn Tompkins died in Canada at some point last night at the age of thirty-seven. Apparently to those close to him, his
As a proud Chicagoan, I’m always weary whenever I have venture north into the land of cheese. If I have to pull out my ID I get groans and comments on the Bears and their crappy ownership. I get called a FIB and service takes a little longer in restaurants. I don’t blame these people
If the tagline on MiddleEasy was ‘Because Boxing is Everything,’ your eyeballs would ignite from the amount of content that would be published in our Sunday Morning Rumor Mill after that horrendous ref job in last night’s Showtime Sports bout. However, we’re about MMA since we love to see dudes in tight shorts mount each
[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on FighterXFashion.com, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] Heading into his UFC Live on Versus 5 match against Kyle Noke, here’s a look at The Ultimate Fighter Season 3 cast member Ed “Short Fuse” Herman’s UFC walkout shirt by Dethrone Royalty. Hot off his huge 48 second first
Jason Reinhardt’s fight may not be viewable outside of the Bradley Center in Milwaukee tonight, but that doesn’t mean this human superball can’t entertain us in other ways. During yesterday’s weigh ins, the always intense product of the Midwest stepped on the scale and howled at Arianny. Scaring her and making her feel slightly impressed/uncomfortable/confused.
Jens Pulver has 57,548 Honorable Kills on his main character in WoW. That’s just his main. The first UFC lightweight champ is probably pushing 100k or more on all of his toons combined. That’s nuts. That is just plain nuts. I only have 24,000 on my warlock and I’ve been playing him for years. And
Let’s take a moment and discuss the seemingly controversial win Rousey scored over Sarah D’Alelio in her Strikeforce debut this weekend. In the fight, Rousey pulls off a disgustingly sick transition to an arm bar which forces D’Alelio to say ‘tap, tap.’ Rousey then loosens up the arm bar, looks at Steve Mazzagatti and then reapplies the armbar
I’m sure you’re not done peeling your brain off the wall from that neurological igniting fight on Showtime Sports between Abner Mares and Joseph Agbeko. Russel Mora has a very public email along with an equally public phone number if you guys feel like voicing your disbelief. At roughly the same time we were all jumping

If Schiavello’s past interviews are any indication, this should be a good interview with one
[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on MMA-Japan, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] K-1 is toying with the idea of selling their items outside of Japan. I received an email that stated as such this past week. What they want to know is what do you all want to buy? Read More…
With the impending name change of Versus to the NBC Sports network, someone needs to start a letter writing campaign demanding that all future UFC broadcasts use the long dead NBA on NBC theme song for the intros. Boom. You just instantly gained about 2 million viewers Zuffa. How do you feel? I can be
There is a healthy amount of paranoia in the MiddleEasy offices. Jinxes, curses, the occult. We believe in it all. There have been some serious productivity setbacks whenever Kieran pulls out the ladder to fix something and the only choice is to go under it or stay in the conference room. We hate the conference
I have had three professionals working congruently for weeks with high speed internet connections and multiple blue tooth devices in an attempt to triangulate Junie Browning’s location for a MiddleEasy interview. I’ve received multiple exasperated emails from those same people all relaying the same message: Junie may or may not exist on this earth as
Yep. It’s been over a year since our Bauzen braved the sea with Renzo Gracie as he took pictures of Ricardo Almeida paddling for autism. Since then we have seen Ricardo win a decision, lose a decision, then retire from MMA. Now, Ricardo is back to make the 28 mile trek around New York one

One of the newest Dethrone T-shirt styles included
A State Legislature who routinely runs into burning buildings and punches people as hard as he can for money. That’s a man I want in office. After Sunday’s fight on Versus against Dan Hardy, Chris Lytle may be entering the 2012 campaign season as a nominee for an Indiana government that has fallen on hard
