Farewell Ricardo Almeida you will be missed

As much as we all love the smack talk and conflict that is created with the bad boy more villianous fighters, we also absolutely love the guys who are peaceful big-hearted warriors. There always needs to be some good to compliment the bad in life-it creates a harmonious balance for our souls’ duality of light and

So there really is a Geek Fight Club, and here’s video of it…

My friend approached me today and said the sweetest combination is pineapple and pizza. The creator of that pizza must have tried to sabotage some other guy’s pizza by throwing pineapples on top but it backfired, because pineapples on top of pizzas are amazing. I wonder where that guy is now. Maybe the creator of

The EA Sports MiddleEasy MMA March Madness goes down TONIGHT!

If you have an Xbox 360 and can spare the rest of your night to tune into the EA Sports MiddleEasy MMA March Madness, you can witness two of the greatest MMA videogame players compete against each other for the official MiddleEasy EA Sports MMA belt. To some, this may sound ridiculous. But for those

Science can decipher baby gibberish and it turns out they are talking MMA!

You know MMA has gotten big when toddlers are getting in on the arguments perpetuated everyday by hardcore fans and ‘TUF’ noobs alike on the UG messageboard and the Sherdog forums. Brock or Fedor? Polarizing from the womb to the grave, that comparison, and even babies are drawing a line in the sand. Or maybe

Everyone get our Android App! It’s working again, we promise

The triumph return of the official MiddleEasy Android App is finally here. Sure we had problems with the initial launch, but as you all know — sometimes these things happen in MMA. While the app was cool in theory, the news feed never updated. Ever. It just sat their in isolation like some Shaolin monk

The UFC: Rio poster that would satisfy all Pride FC fans

It’s 11:57 am, do you know where your baby carrot is at? If you said enclosed in a plastic wrapper in the bottom of my fridge then you are correct. At 12:11 pm it will be dipped in a small cup of ranch and bitten into. Such is the nature of the universe. If I

Thiago Silva admits to using a banned substance at UFC 125

In a moment of sheer WTFness, an MMA fighter actually owns up to taking a banned substance instead of vehemently denying it in court litigation. Refreshing, and above all else — amazing. Yesterday, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Keith Kizer, stated that Thiago Silva’s urine resulted in a ‘non-human’ sample which ultimately

John Howard responds to Anthony Johnson with many expletives

Some people say I curse like a sailor. I don’t know enough sailors to confirm that this is an accurate statement. I can understand why being stuck at sea in close quarters amongst tightly uniformed and nicely faded haircut wearing men would cause someone to have a dirty mouth though. I’m sure those conditions would make

Roxanne Modafferi talks about her diaspora after the earthquake in Japan

[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on MMA-Japan, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] When were you able to say you felt safe again? On Friday, I had heard reports that the (nuclear) plant workers  seemed to be preventing an escalation of severity in the plants, and I got less panicky updates from those

Grandmas can be cage fighters too, just ask Beckie Lobb

I have always wanted to walk into the grocery store and witness two old ladies throwing down over the last 50% off bottle of St. John’s Wort. With their elastic waist pants and appliqued sweaters and wigs and handbags flying everywhere complete with superman punches and flying knees. Tell me that wouldn’t be one of the

Guaranteed you will be strangely attracted to this Kid Yamamoto music video

It’s time for your brain to get slowly massage by the sounds of cleverly assembled Japanese hip-hop blended with a touch of what appears to be R&B. We’re not actually sure what the classification of this would be, other than ‘better than anything you’ve listened to today’. Sure it may be 5:14am in the morning

It’s official! Roufusport is the 2011 Versus Gym of the Year!

A grueling competition has been going on between MMA gyms across the US and most of us didn’t even know about it. Forget about all that work they are doing training some of our favorite fighters to do matrix style kicks off the octagon fence or preparing them for debut ufc fights or even fighting
