One of the most amazing findings in neuroscience is when one of our sensory inputs is damaged or altogether missing, the brain rewires itself in various ways in order to fill in the missing information. For example, congenitally deaf Matt Hamill has revealed that instead of hearing his corner men when he is fighting, he
LayzieTheSavage and his relentless attempt to corner the market on all MMA videography has sliced together another video of an event that you probably were unaware of. He’s from the 209, a place that I always leave from inebriated whenever I’m hanging with the guy. It’s a city of hopes and dreams — and a
[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on FighterXFashion, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] Grabbing inspiration from an industry that’s fueled by smack talk and pre-fight hype, Stephan Bonnar’s Trash Talkin’ Kids has arrived with a new line of MMA T-shirts that mix comedy, creativity and some of the craziest looking UFC character tees
According to a few people out there, the end of the world will happen this Saturday on May 21st. Some of you may not be prepared for such an abrupt end to your existence, so it’s best to blissfully ignore all the billboards you’ve been seeing in the past few months. Instead, check out our
Maybe we’re all overlooking the fact that there is a Middle Eastern MMA promotion called ‘Desert Force Championships’ and they apparently have a lucrative television deal. Props for mixed martial arts extending out to the Middle East and an even bigger props for Desert Force Championships being held in an octagon. I’m not sure what
Whenever I hear Brendan Schaub’s nickname “The Hybrid” I can’t help but think of Optimus Prime or Centurians. I’ve tried to think of a replacement nickname that doesn’t remind of 80’s cartoons but the best I can come up with as a replacement is the terrible “Punchy McPuncherson”. Still, at least he knows his brother
There is a Hector Lombard interview that I conducted about a year ago that no one has ever seen before and I blame this on Zeus entirely. Hector isn’t the most, how do I say this? Open person in the world, and Zeus sometimes requires me to ask questions during interviews that may make certain
Holy crap! Jeff Monson has stepped in for the injured Shane Del Rosario and will face Daniel Cormier at the next leg of the Strikeforce heavyweight GP June 18th in Dallas! What a card this is turning out to be: Overeem/Werdum, Barnett/Rogers, Chadd Griggs/Valentijn Overeem…Wow! I think DSTRYRsg just passed out from the sheer grappling
What would Sunday be without the one-two punch of the Sunday Morning Rumor Mill and a spectacular Bellator highlight? I don’t know…Monday? Sometimes these opening rhetorical questions leave me with a lack of things to say so… We are reaching the end of a fantastic season 4 for Bellator which featured a plethora of fights
The Sunday Morning Rumor Mill actually coming on Sunday Morning for the third week in a row. If life were a videogame, this would warrant an Xbox achievement. If you’re not familiar with the SMRM, then imagine the feature like a floating island elevated by clouds, filled with unicorns, rainbows and an infinite supply of
I have strategically eliminated what I assume is Jamie Varner’s Xbox gamertag from the banner photo above. For awhile I thought about adding him as a friend but from the looks of it, the dude is a Call of Duty player, and I have no interest in playing such an antiquated and overrated shooter. Give
Brett Cooper is coming for you if you are a professional MMA fighter in the 185 pound division of an upper echelon Mixed Martial Arts organization and there is very little you can do about it besides talk to promoters and agents to either fight him or not fight him. Just let it be known
If you’ve never heard of Ronda Rousey, then you’ve deprived yourself of the 2008 Bronze Olympic medalist judoka hailing from Santa Monica, California. Shame on you. If you could see my hand, I’m furiously shaking my finger at you in disgust. I’m also not wearing any pants while I write this, and I’m wrist deep
[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on DstryrSG, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] Maybe it’s the lack of nutrients I’m experiencing at this moment after what can only be described as dangerous over-training, but I’m feeling a little edgy. Thank god it’s Friday and we have tons of amazing BJJ/grappling stuff to check
For everyone that has been proclaiming there is no MMA on this weekend, they’re clearly out of their minds. Skip the doctor’s office to get your brain thoroughly examined. It’s a waste of time. Instead, elect to receive one of Alexander Shlemenko’s spinning back fist directly to your dome. You may awaken in a pool
