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
[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.

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
