It’s been over a year since we introduced you guys to a massive human being hailing from the Czech Republic known as Karlos Vemola. The guy trains by smashing up cars with a hammer in the middle of parking lots in the UK. In short, the Street Fighter 2 bonus stage has nothing on Vemola.
Miesha Tate has something in common with plenty of you guys out there. Her best day times one hundred includes getting in a sneaky crotch grab on Marloes Coenen. Don’t pretend like you didn’t see it either. I was in a room full of dudes watching Strikeforce Saturday night and at that very moment
In line for an early January 2012 release, THQ has gently turned on the UFC Undisputed 3 information faucet, info is now trickling out at a decent pace. No floods are happening yet, but after the Undisputed 3 blowout at EVO, I think we can expect our sinks to overflow sometime soon. Hopefully. I need
Here we are, the third Monday after a Fedor loss ever. No matter where you are in the world it is slightly overcast today. Unless, surprisingly, you are in Washington state or less surprisingly Temecula, California. The sun shines brightly on Dan Henderson, that’s why he is so tan all the time. No matter how
If Bobby Green thinks his loss was ‘baloney’, then I think the Chicago Bears off season is that nasty meat with the chunks of peppers and stuff built into it. What is that called again? Pepper Loaf. That’s it. Disgusting. When did this act of calling a disappointment or failure a processed meat anyway? Bologna
Who knew that the final PRIDE welterweight and middleweight champ would one day defeat the invincible PRIDE heavyweight champ Fedor Emelianenko? Last night we viewed what at one time was an impossible to achieve hypothetical scenario. It was played out in a cage, but still ended in stunningly historic fashion. Luckily for everyone, we have
Immediately after time expired in the three round war between Tim Kennedy and Robbie Lawler, Tim wiped the blood from his face and said something indecipherable to the judges cage side. Last night at the post fight press conference, our resident chef revealed what he said to the judges and expressed his disappointment over not
I’ve been walking through the day in a complete daze. All I can think about is last night’s Strikeforce main event. When I close my eyes I see Fendo/Hendor/Emeliankerson throwing bombs so hard the Sears Center shifted a few centimeters with each strike. I wish I could get a tattoo of the match, a motion

[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on MMA-Japan, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] Possibly one of the snazziest, biggest martial arts stores in Japan are the guys in Nagoya, Koubudo. Koubudo, who you may recognize from Shinya Aoki’s spats as well as his gi, is the martial artists dream (no pun intended). Not
Last week on Sunday Night Fights, we played host to an IFL style 7 on 7 team battle thing. It was awesome. Some of our friends from across the pond stayed up until 3am so they could get on some EA MMA action, so team UK vs team USA very much went down. Ex MiddleEasy
WTF is a ‘safe for work’ acronym which represents a phrase that is not safe for work. NSFW is a ‘safe for work’ acronym that is also safe for work. This morning I woke up with the words ‘Remember this: It’s the Christmas store for adults’ written on a piece of paper. That warranted a
The Hendo/Fedor press conference was held in a dark, poorly lit, cold back room somewhere in the belly of the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates. It looked like a less decorated Hitler’s bunker with a cookie spread. Sometimes these locations happen in MMA post fight conferences, you can’t always choose your conference room. Everything was
A couple of years ago, my ex-girlfriend told me that if she encountered Renato Sobral, she would leave me for him. It was cool, I just wanted her to come back with a three-paragraph essay on how it was. Babalu has always been one of my favorite fighters. I was one of the few who
Jeez. Last night really happened, egh? According to quantum physics, in a universe with an infinite amount of time, if someone were to watch the replay of Fedor vs. Hendo, at some point the outcome would actually be different. Of course if this were to happen, we’re talking at some point in the trillions of
