Since James Toney has been missing in action for the past few months, Chad Ochocinco has nominated himself to be the official celebrity pro-athlete to call out MMA fighters. Shaq Disel held the torch two years ago when he made a video calling out Chuck Liddell and Hong Man Choi. He then realized that moving
Despite working with Tim Kennedy for years on MiddleEasy, when Jason Nawara and I saw him backstage after Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Hendo, we were entirely too intimidated to walk-up to him and introduce ourselves. The dude made a living ventilating enemy soldiers’ heads from thousands of feet away. We’re not even worthy of being in
Wipe those tears away, MMA fan. We’re just as sad that Golden Glory has effectively been cut from ZUFFA. A picture like this could never be assembled ever again. Look at the bright side, with mega talent released from ZUFFA, there’s a very strong chance they will manifest into another organization — perhaps even ProElite.
Ouch. These Strikeforce cuts just keep coming and instead of becoming accustomed to the pain of the UFC slice and dice-this time the pain is felt fairly deep. Zuffa pulled out the giant meat carving knife overnight and slashed right through Team Golden Glory and out of Strikeforce and the UFC. Three more members of
So here’s the deal with this video… LayzieTheSavage took a trip to Rafael Cordeiro’s ‘King’s MMA’ to catch-up with a few friends (like Mayhem Miller, I kid, I kid…) and noticed that Babalu Sobral was training Shogun Rua for his upcoming fight with Forrest Griffin at UFC 134. Not sure what happened with LayzieTheSavage getting
Tito Ortiz has been around the block….a bunch of times ! He’s seen everything MMA has to offer and has probably earned the right to voice his opinion as much as anybody in the sport. Now, since the fall of PRIDE FC, MMA fans down the years have been split into two camps, Pro-Fedor and
[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on MMA-Japan, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] As a tune up for his upcoming Grand Prix event, Josh Barnett faced off with Bobby Lashley in a Genome event back in July. You probably thought I was serious about the tune up part. Read More and Watch the
The AMC show ‘Breaking Bad’ is ‘Baller.’ Hopping on your friend’s bike spokes to catch a ride downtown and falling on your face when you hit a bump in the sidewalk is ‘Buster.’ Now that you’re fully acquainted with a brief slice of MiddleEasy terminology, you’re ready for a new edition of ‘Baller of Buster.’
I knew it, French Canadians are simply incapable of doing handstand push-ups. They lack the extra bone in their wrist that allows Americans to do them with ease. Genetic variations in cultures dictates one’s aptitude to elevate one’s body above the ground by a few inches while inverted. At least, that’s what I’ve been told
[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on DstryrSG, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] Actually, I really don’t know why we love this kind of thing. I think it’s part of the human condition. I think that’s why we like watching skateboarders getting plowed in the nuts and compound fractures. We love watching celebrities
I’m going to change the text on our ‘Free Lee Murray’ shirts to ‘Freed Lee Murray’ in the immediate future. This morning I received a phone call and an email from the same source who enabled MiddleEasy to obtain an unprecedented interview with Lee Murray earlier this year. According to my source, Lee Murray will
Sergei Kharitonov’s exponentially escalating problems with Alexander Emelianenko is an issue that I’ve been unaware of for years. Apparently back in Pride FC, Kharitonov’s camp offered Emelianenko a fight on two separate occasions, both of which he allegedly turned down. According to Sergei, when he injured his shoulder, Alexander jumped at the opportunity which led
Longtime MiddleEasy reader and MMA fighter, Andy Whynaught, sent us this video of his most recent bout which went down Pomona, CA last weekend at an event called ‘Respect in the Cage.’ At the end of the first round, Andy catches his opponent in the clinch but also catches a punch thrown after the bell
I’ve recently picked up coin magic and the techniques to turn a half-dollar into a quarter aren’t that difficult. The really difficult part about magic is the misdirection. Making everyone look one way while you work in the other direction is the real skill in magic. You also have to remember that what you see
Breaking news regarding our now former champion, THERUSHSTPIERRE, from MiddleEasy Sunday Night Fights commissioner Jason Nawara. According to Jason, who is on vacation in northern Greenland, Rush has been released and stripped of his title leaving the media with tons of questions and no real answers at this time. The announcement came via a YouTube
I remember riding my bike across a sketchy major intersection to a Blockbuster Music in the 8th grade to buy Rage Against The Machine’s second album Evil Empire. I will never forget having to dig for change in my couch so I could afford the long defunct retailer’s extravagant price of $17.99 for a CD.
