Big gains I could spend all day describing. Losses? Well, the primary one is a lack of emphasis on takedown and takedown defense skills (the
Say it ain’t so multiple anonymous sources. According to Five Ounces of Pain, the loser of Dan Henderson vs. Fedor Emelianenko will receive the ZUFFA axe due to the amount each fighter will earn compared to their perceived market value.

In the land of the undead, there’s only one referee qualified enough to officiate a sanctioned match between vampires and zombies.

Chael Sonnen seems to be the go-to guy of the moment for quotes on almost everything. I’m just waiting on Agricultural and Farming News magazine publishing a hilarious yet scathing interview with Chael where he wades in on the state of small commercial farming in Oregon and takes sarcastic yet insightful pot shots at the
It’s just impossible to comprehend Tim Kennedy’s fascination with cooking combined with his propensity to kill other people with military-issued weapons. When he was assigned to the 7th Special Forces Group, Kennedy was a sniper, sniper instructor and the principal combatives instructor for the C Company, 3rd Battalion. Therefore it puzzles me that he chose
Brian Ebersole has enjoyed a long illustrious career in MMA and he gives back to the sport that has given so much to him. The creator of the infamous cartwheel kick has bestowed upon us, his faithful TWAS-a-maniacs (yes, The White Anderson Silva-a-maniacs) a video that breaks down the trials and tribulations of the great
Well I didn’t expect to see this on a Sunday evening: leaked footage of Bones Jones taking on Rampage Jackson for the UFC light heavyweight title in UFC Undisputed 3. At first I didn’t believe it was real, but the fighter records are correct and you can see the FORM Athletics gear that Jones is
A little-known fact about Sean Sherk. Did you know that in a twelve year, forty fight career, Sherk has only ever lost to fighters who were, or went on to be, UFC champions? -Matt Hughes beat Sherk to defend his UFC Welterweight title. -Georges St Pierre beat Sherk shortly before winning the UFC Welterweight title.
Minutes before I sat down to write this heartwarming tale of Cub Swanson not having to go bankrupt because of an accidental blow to the face my Ipod fried. I think it was because of the massive Chicagoland storms in the night. 80 gigabytes of music is gone. Gone, gone, gone. I’m completely lost now.
Is there are more exciting fight this year that clocks in under two minutes? To put it into perspective, the Kongo/Barry fight lasted 41 seconds longer than this equally heavy handed clash of the titans between Bellator heavyweight tourny runner up Neil Grove and TUF heavyweight Zak Jensen. Considering Grove stepped into the Bellator 47
Randy Couture is back again with Affliction head honcho and one of the greatest MMA promoters of all time Tom Atencio (I’m serious, Affliction is batting 1.000 all time in the fight promotion category) for another round of prediction videos that will probably be the most comprehensive breakdown of the UFC 133 main event that

My God this Jason Reinhardt storytelling. Last week you guys saw the hilarious video of Reinhardt trying to get Karo Parisyan to smell his tooth, his epic knee practice to combat the double leg and a brief mention in passing of him giving his parents the crabs. Well he is back due to the overwhelming
Oh, man oh man. The last thing I expected to see when I got home from a delicious night of Japanese beer and Sushi was Jonatas Novaes breaking Sherron Leggets’ arm at the Combat USA Wisconsin vs Illinois championship. So much for that Wisconsin BJJ going strong. Jonatas is very much Brazillian, but he was
I’m using this article as a soapbox to call for a new version of the classic arcade game RAMPAGE. It will be starring none other than Quinton Jackson alongside Lizzie, Ralph and George in their usual roles as the giant lizard, the wolf and the big monkey respectively. Rampage will destroy entire cities with his
[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on DstryrSG, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] Smashing stuff is cool. I’ve been contemplating it as a concept, and I’m pretty much 100% in favor of it. It doesn’t require much thinking and it generally causes damage. The Hulk does it. These are all good things. Passing
