In 2003, Anderson Silva almost left MMA to run a car wash in Brazil

If Anderson Silva chose to leave the world of MMA in 2003, it would have been impossible for Chael Sonnen to say ‘Ed, pray to whatever Demon effigy you prance and dance in front of with your piglet tribe of savages that I decide not to CRUCIFY you’. Nor would he make the statement of

Ten post-fight Fedor tweets from Dana White that may (or may not) blow your mind

Most of the people I associate with have been uncomfortably numb since the doctors essentially stopped Fedor Emeliankenko vs. Bigfoot Silva this weekend due to a rather enlarged piece of meatloaf attached to Fedor’s eye after the second round. Prior to writing this article, my mother called and confirmed that ‘Bigfoot was just too big

Anthony Pettis is mad that he has to wait for a title shot

Valentine’s day is today and most of you will think giving your girlfriend a heart shaped box of candy and some roses from the grocery store is a great idea. You all want to get lucky at least once next week so trust me a cardboard box of plastic wrapped chocolates and flowers from the

The Sunday Morning Rumor Mill

So it’s probably not Sunday where you’re from, but in California, there’s four minutes left of Sunday so this feature isn’t quite lost. It was tough live-blogging cageside at the IZOD center where the internet was non-existent. For once, I enjoyed a card without trying to slap my fingers on the keyboard to instantly update

Jorge Santiago denies signing with the UFC

Well well well. It looks like Jorge Santiago has not signed with the UFC as reported by news outlets earlier in the weekend. It looks like Strikeforce or Bellator might still have a chance to sign him. BJPenn.com was all over the Izod Center last night shoving their camera phone in the faces of everyone

Watch Fabricio Werdum break down last nights event

Zeus is somewhere in the air right now flying back to Hollywood so it’s entirely up to me to get that KHON Sports channel 2 video off the main page. That is my destiny for today. At least MiddleEasy readers will have something to talk about at the watercooler besides Strikeforce: Brain Damage III on

Watch the Strikeforce Heavyweight GP quarter-finals recap video

It is February 13th, 2011. No matter what you tell yourself, your favorite fighter probably lost last night. The fallout of Fedor’s 2nd loss in a row is only beginning to reach our computer screens and the outlook is grim. M-1 Global was escorted out of the Izod center by New Jersey Hells Angels (who

The first pics of Fedor are trickling in

I don’t know what this is, a blog? A news article? A eulogy? I’m completely at a loss for words for right now so I will keep this brief, the first photographic evidence of Bigfoot’s tracks left all over Fedor’s face are trickling in, and it’s not pretty. MiddleEasy reader, Synthsis had a sweet hookup

The ringside doctors and Bigfoot Silva defeated Fedor Emelianenko

If you tuned your television or pirated internet stream into Bigfoot Silva vs. Fedor Emelianenko, you witnessed a monumental moment in history and for that, you are a better human being. Whenever Fedor fights, everyone acts like they’ve never had parental guidance in their childhood adolescence. People climb over seats, everyone stands without any regard

Scott Coker is not worried about injuries in the Heavyweight GP

There is this guy I know only know as “Cdre”. Tonight he will be missing the opening leg of the Strikeforce GP because he is participating in a videogame marathon that will be a minimum 12 hours in length. The ‘winner’ of the marathon, if you want to call them that, will be showered in

Sergei Kharitonov is a dark Equus ferus caballus

By my count there are no less than 5 dark horses in the Strikeforce Heavyweight GP. You have Bigfoot Silva, a definite dark horse. Andrei Arvloski is a dark horse for sure. Barnett is a evil fiery black steed. Rogers is a horse that is dark, and then we have Sergei Kharitonov, who many have

Urijah Faber checks in and talks about this and that

A couple days ago we were able to get in touch with the always amicable Urijah Faber to conduct a brief interview on this and that. I swear this Urijah is more accessible for MMA websites than Justin Bieber is for those teeny bopper magazines. Are those magazines even around anymore? Is that analogy relevant?

Korean fans resurrected Sexyama from television death

Once again we have proof that if anyone wants to obtain immortality, you must first be able to rock a powder pink suit constructed from the reproductive organs of every Carebear that ever stepped foot on this planet. When it comes to extraordinary looks and impeccable taste, Yoshihiro Akiyama resides in a parallel universe that
