On the eve of my 22nd birthday I was given a 50,000 volt tazer from my friend Edmund. To this day I consider it one of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten and countless memories were created with that little black beauty. If it weren’t for the tazer, this oft viewed video of my old roommate

Yesterday I learned how to say ‘Can I have a hamburger?’ in Russian, but I instantly forgot it. I have the attention span of a warm jar of mayonnaise. The purpose of temporarily learning a new language was solely to impress a waitress that works at a Russian fast-food place here in Hollywood. However, due

Much like we speculated after Alistair Overeem had to pull out of the September date for the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix, Alistair

If you want to call the guys at DEEP swagger jackers, then I’m sure George Lucas wouldn’t mind. The only thing that’s missing on this DEEP 55 Impact poster is to change the location of Korakuen Hall to ‘The Temple of Doom’. The last sentence was supposed to be equipped with a drum snare followed

Did Superman ever bring Louis Lane back to life? Is that where The Matrix pulled the archetype of Neo resurrecting Trinity from? Initially, I wanted to start this article off with some cliche comparison of ProElite ‘rising from the dead’ like a phoenix, but then I got hooked on a DC Comics kick. If Superman

Mark Hunt is a fan of Twilight. To call Mark Hunt anything other than a legend would be selling the 265lber short. He shocked the world in December 8, 2001 when he defeated Jerome Le Banner via second round KO, grabbed the W of Stefan Leko and eventually beat Francisco Filho to win the 2001

Now that the fight is off, this Ranger Up video is as senseless as a tap-dancing squirrel. Correction, a tap-dancing squirrel is never senseless when there’s a camera and an internet connection available. Jorge Rivera vs. Alessio Sakara is a fight that the MMA gods simply do not want to happen. It’s been attempted a

The Hong Kong based South African is

E. Look at that thing. What’s that ‘E’ doing over there? It’s isolated, alone in its little alphabetic prison. D and F can’t save it now. They used to be friends with E, but now that E is doing solo projects, they’ve moved their separate ways. E is by itself, much like my belief that

A few weeks ago I had a dream that Josh Barnett and I hopped from train to train in Qatar in search of the ultimate house party. Our adventures took us to a limestone mansion surrounded by semi-automatic wielding body guards. Apparently these guys didn’t mind that we snuck through the backdoor of the kitchen

Eating three whole meals a day is a performance enhancing drug. Making sure the trash is hauled to the front of the yard before you start your day is a way to enhance your performance. Growing up in nuclear family in a mildly conservative neighborhood in the Midwest as opposed to be raised in a

Set your flux capacitor to March 18th 2011, the day when we wrote an article that announced the end of the renowned Japanese MMA magazine known as ‘Kamipro’. Sure we couldn’t really understand anything within the magazine, but everyone at MiddleEasy respected the hell out of these guys for their sheer ingenuity. The pictures and

We can only hope that our beloved sport of MMA doesn’t go the way of the most boring/worst sport in the world (baseball) and have a steroid scandal. I think we can all agree that wiping out half of our young sport’s fine history due to TRT use and and cheats would be absolutely disastrous.

This is really, really weird for me. I spent over half a decade working in the greater Streamwood area so I recognize the majority of these locales that a calm (yet fascinated?) Fedor is visiting. I can almost see myself: stressed and depressed working a dead end retail job in the very Woodfield mall Fedor

Alessio Sakara is now unrecognizable from the guy that placed seventh in our top ten list of the greatest fades in MMA. That compilation was written on the back of two dinner napkins in Tucson, Arizona and King Mo was an official consultant for it. He suggested that we insert Mark Munoz in the top
