After Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers in 2009, Mayhem Miller and Jake Shields had a little public verbal altercation that eventually led to Jake Shields accusing Mayhem of domestic abuse. CBS never aired this as a primer to the Strikeforce brawl that eventually turned into a viral hit, but everyone who has ever tweeted (twatted?) is

We’re not sure what happened with Bellator’s deal with FX that was announced a couple weeks ago. Perhaps it resides in the same realm as my brief interest in AMC’s The Walking Dead. Loretta Hunt from the Los Angeles Times insisted that I watch the series in its entirety. I caught the entire season on
Ryan Bader fought on April 1st 2009 against Carmelo Marrero which essentially was like three rounds of a bad April Fool’s joke on Marrero. Ryan Bader dominated (as usual) and he got the W (as usual). During the fight, Bader tore ligaments in his body that most people didn’t even know existed and was sidelined

Dana White is a master practitioner in verbal kung-fu. Calvin Ayre from Bodog tried to call out Dana White only to have his entire Bodog Fights shut down over night. Gary Shaw from EliteXC called Kimbo the ‘Tiger Woods of MMA’ and made rants against Dana White a daily routine. The guy’s organization went under
Although it wasn’t discussed on MiddleEasy this weekend, Alistair Overeem winning the K-1 Grand-Prix was extraordinary. We generally keep to mixed martial arts and try not to venture over into any other combat sports, but if you missed any second of the 2010 World Grand Prix, you will be forever teased until you watch it
No, it’s not give everyone a complimentary PPV broadcast in 2011, despite how cool (and fair) that would be. When’s the last time you’ve viewed the intro of a PPV event before you saw that crazy ZUFFA satellite and shelled out $59.99? If you answered ‘never’, then you are absolutely correct. This is the first
After enduring thirty days of watching a multitude of men turn themselves into ZZ-Top during something called “No Shave November”, I’ve had about all I can stand of bad hair and overly hairy men. The guy that made my pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks yesterday even gifted me with a nasty stringy brown hair on the lid of

In an attempt to eventually place the UFC logo inside every strand of genetic code on this planet, ZUFFA has decided to sue videogame giant Ubisoft for alleged trademark infringement over their newly released Xbox 360 Kinect game, ‘Fighters Uncaged‘. In the game, you take on the role of an anonymous guy rocking a hoodie

Let me set this up in the only way possible: in the voice of Robert Stack from Unsolved Mysteries. December 2nd, Tachi Palace Fights 7 ‘Deck the Halls’. Tim McKenzie enters the cage…ah, forget it. It’s impossible without that creepy music emanating in the background. Robert Stack without theme music is scientifically impossible. That’s like

Some of you may remember Mark Pavelich, the owner of Maximum Fighting Championships, from his claim that he will beat Strikeforce, Dream, M-1 Global, Sengoku and when that happens, Pavelich has a “plain B”. We’re pretty sure he meant “Plan B” but we’re not holding it against him that he can’t spell. Sometimes I just
The word is out that I have an enormous MMA gambling addiction, and apparently some companies want to capitalize on my disease. Let’s face it, gambling on MMA is as much of a disease as my addiction of watching The Princess Bride in its entirety whenever it’s on TV. Gambling is a disease only if
