We humans have an almost innate ability to get into trouble and do stupid things from time to time. For most of us, we can chalk these things up as character building. However as Murphy’s Law can attest, ‘Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong’. The worst possible time for Murphy’s Law to sneak
Read the first part of ‘The Evolve MMA Chronicles’ by clicking here. The following is part two of MiddleEasy’s exclusive feature. Before I flew to Singapore, I knew at some point I would be asked to train with the potpourri of world champions at Evolve MMA. Unfortunately due to some laundry vandal that resides in
It’s Melvin Manhoef’s 35th birthday today and since he is not only a legendary badass but also the first fighter to ever bring the MiddleEasy red monster into battle-we are celebrating. First, we thought we might just go around randomly leg kicking or head punching people-but after considering the jail time and felonious assault and battery on
Now we have the ability to compare yesterday’s unofficial Dream: Fight for Japan promo with today’s official video created by FEG and determine which one reigns supreme. We should throw all other attempts to make an MMA promo out of the window. The aesthetic has so obviously mutated into something that is borderline incomprehensible. That’s
Parakeets, European hip-hop music, stuffed frogs and Stefan Struve in a prefight mini-series documentary called ‘The Castle’ is the most random combination of things you will see all morning. If you woke up thinking you really want to see something that will make you use the word ‘hodge-podge’ today-then you should watch this video. It’s
Not everyone can hold the title of CEO or have a last name that vaguely resembles an exotic Italian sports car. Our buds at CagePotato noticed something that flew relatively under the radar at the 2011 Fighter Summit in Las Vegas. On the agenda that was handed out to all Strikeforce fighters inside the Red
[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on DstryrSG, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] Definitely do not try this at home (or in the gym). There are some techniques that go beyond what I like to call “boutique” and into the realm of outrageously impossible. While they may look cool during a demonstration, they
[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on MMA-Japan, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] Lion Takeshi will once again step into the white ring under the DREAM banner when he faces Koichiro Matsumoto, a DEEP veteran who is no slouch. Matsumoto is the current DEEP featherweight Champion while Takeshi was the 143 lb champion
Niko Vitale is not afraid of Hector Lombard. The veteran journeyman has even gone so far as to send out a press release stating that his upcoming superfight with the Bellator middleweight champion will not be going to the judges, he will be victorious with a knockout or a submission. Very interesting. Considering Niko has
Let me preface this by giving KNOXX Gear props for producing this timely and relevant Rumble Johnson video. It was just yesterday when we published the article of Ben Askren calling Johnson (and Thiago Alves) ‘cowards’ among a longer line of personal insults that I won’t replicate (but of course you can read them all
Urijah Faber is still that guy to beat, I just don’t want to nominate myself to be the guy that tries to beat him. I’ll take his word for it, even when he says he’s invincible. Urijah Faber fights like all of those little ninjas in the Shinobi bonus stage where you have to throw
[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on LiverKick.com, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] Badr Hari’s return to the ring comes this weekend at It’s Showtime Lyon, and many fans are excited to see Badr Hari back in action. Many have taken note to Badr Hari’s much-improved physique. Mike’s Gym does a great job
No, ‘Urijah Faber’ isn’t code for ‘What LayzieTheSavage has been saying for years now.’ The California Kid actually believes that another California resident would defeat Georges St. Pierre in a hypothetical match-up to determine welterweight supremacy. Sure he may be bias, or he may sincerely believe that Nick Diaz can not only mean-mug the fight
So Butterbean fought last weekend and you probably didn’t even know. If Butterbean is an accurate depiction of the future of genetically modified vegetables, then we’re all screwed. Imagine making butterbean soup with Butterbean. That would be murder. I don’t want any part of it. Besides making Betsy Ross proud, Butterbean scrapped last weekend at
[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on DstryrSG, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] Pretty much nope. As thrillingly weird as it would be if the now way dead Bin Laden had some secret Judo skills, it just doesn’t add up to me. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, here’s a quick
There are lots of things of very awesome things I have almost gotten a chance to do in life. I almost got to ride the Concorde and go on a fully funded European ski trip my senior year of high school with a very rich Aunt. I almost got a neon pink Mustang GT as a
