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
[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on MMA-Japan, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] Last night my basement got slightly flooded, so we had to pull up the carpet to dry it with an industrial sized fan. During this time I could not find my kitty, Tardy. As you can imagine I was depressed
Genghis Con twice in one week? Yes, please. You probably noticed that ‘the hustle’ hasn’t been on since episode two…well I just want to let you know that everything is fine. We will be seeing many, many more episodes of the hijinx filled MMA documentary in the very near future. See that green guy with
There are a number of legitimate things that give MMA a bad name. For example, bad match-making is often picked up on because of the Iron Man reputation of open weight fights and the Hollywood fiction of rigged fights and corrupt promoters, but nonetheless, bad match-making exists. One thing that MMA is often called up
The Hairrow isn’t just some silly design on one’s chest. It’s a culture. The hairrow is a lifestyle that can only be expressed on one’s torso. Live it, love it, and most importantly, shave it. If you’ve been living under a rock in a hyperbaric chamber in the middle of the earth for the past
The days in which Gina Carano competed in MMA are that of antiquity. We can only refer to Carano’s MMA days in whimsical, nostalgic references that no one will understand. Carano is to MMA as Gilles Deleuze is to film theory. See, you would have to be backpacking in the vast expanse of my mind
While domestic violence is no laughing matter, Sean McCorkle has never been at a loss of words when it comes to his opponents or anyone in MMA for that matter. Dude is a UFC veterean, a UG legend, and a certified blackbelt in verbal warfare. Collectively, those characteristics make him a somewhat more entertaining version
I’d like to send out big thanks to Comcast for still not offering HDNet in my area. Thanks guys, I have yet again missed an amazing event broadcast via HDNet. Thanks to your ‘signature support team’ for making me spend nearly 3 hours on the phone with a mouth breathing techie only to not fix my
Twitter beef…we don’t want to love it-but the drama whores that reside deep down inside all of us, secretly can’t resist it. Sort of like real beef, that thick juicy t-bone steak with the tasty fat ribboning through the meaty slab might not be so healthy for our arteries but it sure does make our
Staring at pictures of Gina Carano is something I do often in the absence of her headlining Strikeforce cards. I try convincing myself she’s not real; but I know she’s real, because I’ve met her on several occasions, and one time (in Chicago) she touched my leg. This is totally true and Zeus was there
Now that War Machine is finally free, you might think our ‘Free War Machine’ T-shirts are a just scraps of cloth with what would appear to be a now defunct message emblazoned upon them. This couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, the shirts might hold even more importance now that War Machine is in
If any of you see a bright red 1965 El Camino with hydraulics and neon green undercar lights driving on Highway 15 through California I suggest you stay many car lengths away from this vehicle for awhile. Zeus and Layzie and Layzie’s lovely lady are on the way to hang out in Las Vegas for a couple
In a perfect world, every Friday starts out with an extremely high level wrestler dancing with a professional boxer for our entertainment. The dance doesn’t have to be the Dougie, just dancing. It spreads a positive aura of energy to those who view the elite grappler’s boogying, and it’s almost as beneficial as a multivitamin.
As much as I hope that everyone has an exciting Saturday night planned, I have bad news. There’s a good chance you’ll want to rethink your schedule. I was planning on sitting at home reading about Kierkegaard’s ideas on abstraction. This is the idea that some things only have meaning in specific contexts. For example,
