On August 2, 2009, everyone who stayed up until 3:30am found out what exactly a ‘Must Decide Split Decision’ was. At Sengoku 9, Marlon Sandro and Michihiro Omigawa fought a rather even-sided battle (although I’m sure a lot of you out there will beg to differ). In the end, this bout (which took place in
Every Friday at Middleeasy we have our version of happy hour with the Friday Morning Link Party. Every Sunday morning we offer up our Sunday Morning Rumor Mill to go along side your breakfast. It’s like our version of greasy Waffle House-style smothered covered topped and scattered hashbrowns to help you ease those hangover tummy
Let’s face it, if you absolutely had to be a cannibal, you would rather eat the flesh of a woman over a guy. Even in the dire need of sustenance and survival, it’s still somewhat gay to consume the body of another man. Sure your best friend can prevent you from giving way to death
It’s only right that the staredown between Michael Bisping and Jorge Rivera be the first article on the new MiddleEasy server. Whew, no more slow load times or random errors. Now there’s no limiting the amount of late 80s cartoon references we can jam into one article. Deep in the land of the misused syllables,
It’s the 900lb pink elephant roaming around in the living room, eating your leftover Chinese food and breaking every piece of furniture. It’s been swinging its tusk around the kitchen and breaking all of our coffee mugs on a daily basis. When you try to take a nap, the sheets are soaking wet from quarts
A couple years ago I met Bas Rutten at a Hooters which was the same day I realized that a buffalo wing is a garbage concept. There is no way a buffalo can fly with those things. The best thing a buffalo wing can do is be dipped in ranch. Bas Rutten doesn’t have time
Let’s not forget that Sergei Kharitonov robbed consciousness from Andrei Arlovski in the first round of the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand-Prix and he did it with the most manly and relaxed ground-and-pound ever executed in the cage. That night, Sergei treated his fists like very well coordinated 747 planes taking off from the airport with their
If you’ve spent more than two minutes on MiddleEasy then you know that we herald Bobby Lashley as the second coming of Optimus Prime. If freakishly large muscles were currency, Lashley could donate his thigh to save Darfur. Essentially, the guy is everything you ever wanted to be since you picked up your first Marvel
This Michael Bisping vs. Jorge Rivera beef is something that will amicably be resolved this weekend at an arena inside Sydney, Australia. Perhaps ‘amicably’ isn’t the right word, or perhaps it is, but you don’t fully understand the veracity of it. Perhaps I should stop prefacing all of my sentences with ‘perhaps’ and reduce the
Originally I wanted to publish this yesterday, but I was a little distracted by some shiny thing reflecting off my window. When you have the attention span of a warm jar of mayonnaise, that tends to happen pretty often. Last year, Mark Pavelich sent an email asking me to follow him on Twitter. I told
Whenever a job application questions what talents I have, it’s difficult to hold back from disclosing that I know all the words to every song from the Wu-Tang Forever album. One day that’s going to be a recognized skill. I can play Contra really well, that needs to be approved. I can get an extra
Before I wrote this article, I ensured the term ‘hype man’ was actually in the English lexicon and not just something my friends and I use to describe every supporting cast member in a James Toney YouTube video. If you temporarily redirect your browser to the Wikipedia entry for ‘hype man’, not only will you
Chael Sonnen approaches the English language as if every word stole his grade-school lunch and the only way he can exert revenge is to combine the most whimsical expressions and aim it directly at one person, usually Anderson Silva. Sure his real-estate license may be suspended, and he can’t return to MMA until later this
If the purpose of this video is to explain why Anderson Silva wore that strange white mask at UFC 126, then it fails miserably. Perhaps in some college Art History course with Dada Surrealism as an emphasis, then this video may have some merit. Otherwise, it appears to be the beginning of an unfinished Larry
Some of you may remember Bibiano Fernandes from such MMA fights as ‘Make Joe Warren tap via armbar, give him the finger and then run out of the arena while giving him the finger again‘ and ‘Circle around Masakazu Imanari while he sits down in the middle of the Yokohama Arena‘. Bibiano Fernandes grabbed the
If ‘Just Do It’ meant to suplex your opponent an unlimited amount of times while Michael Schiavello has a border-line aneurysm over the microphone, then Kazuyuki Miyata should have been inked with Nike nearly two years ago. However, it took Esther Lin three seconds to snap that epic picture of Miyata slamming Caol Uno at
