The Official 2010 Halloween Costume Contest – Sponsored by MMAOutlet

  It’s that time of the year to dress irresponsibly and not be held accountable by society. It’s October which means it’s time to grab your nearest pocket knife and destroy a pumpkin in an attempt to make one of these. If you haven’t been making kindle from firewood for the better part of your

Mark Pavelich says he will be #2 in the MMA world or die trying

If you’re a vampire hunter, getting second place in any event will ensure that you have more material to get your job done. If you didn’t get that, then you have a social life — and I envy you. A few months ago Mark Pavelich sent me an email asking me to follow him on

Sakuraba has his own iPhone app and it’s in English!

If you have an extra $3.99 and want to support a guy responsible for making mixed martial arts into what you salivate over today, then grab Kazushi Sakuraba’s iPhone app and be proud of yourself for the rest of the year. The app is a collection of 178 philosophical quotes compiled by Takahiro Inoue from

Antonio McKee issues a statement for his haters, including Bas Rutten

There’s a video of Antonio McKee breaking down Adolph Hitler to Bob Sapp that’s floating somewhere on the internet solely because all videos have the buoyancy to float. The internet facilitates a collection of floating things that are always ‘somewhere’. Occasionally, we run into these intangible objects and then we realize that we are also

James Irvin was involved in an epic MMA bout that no one saw

Two years ago, James Irvin was approaching frate trane status in the UFC’s 205lb division until he welcomed Anderson Silva to the light heavyweight ranks. After that, he never looked the same – like that time-share in Florida your parents thought would be a great idea to ‘invest’ in. Unfortunately, hurricane season takes its toll

The Sunday Morning Rumor Mill

Back-to-back nights of K-1 action and none of it was covered on MiddleEasy.com. We’re about mixed martial arts. Other guys like Head Kick Legend and Nightmare of Battle can cover what’s going down in the kickboxing world. We’ll just stick with obscure Datsik articles and hyper-analytical Top Ten lists. It’s another week, which means another

We asked Fabricio Werdum if he wants Fedor or Ubereem, here’s what he said…

Fabricio Werdum beat Fedor Emelianenko. To this day, I can’t believe I can type that sentence and still be telling the truth. In a parallel universe in an alternate timeline, Fedor Emelianenko defeated Fabricio Werdum. He’s still undefeated and every MMA site has him as the pound-for-pound best fighter in the sport. In that same

Katsunori Kikuno will fight just in time for Halloween

From this moment on, Kikuno will defeat your favorite lightweight fighter. Today, I dare anyone to prove me wrong on that statement. On October 24th at the JCB Hall in Tokyo, Japan, there’s a chance that statement may be untrue. DEEP executives announced that current lightweight champion, Katsonori Kikuno, will bang against Nobuhiro Obiya at

Jon Jones vs. Ryan Bader is slated for the beginning of 2011

Over a year ago, in order to propel MiddleEasy into the MMA world, I planned to go on a hunger strike until Brock Lesnar vs. Fedor Emelianenko finally happened. Granted, it wasn’t quite a hunger strike. A nutritional food company was going to sponsor me by sending boxes of this health food bar they claimed

Jake Shields shoots a dig at Strikeforce in his new interview

Everyone in the Bay Area of California claims they know Jake Shields. I’m not Inspector Gadget (nor do I claim to be), but my armchair detective skills tell me most of these people are lying. I met a guy on Xbox Live last weekend who claimed that he changed Jake Shields’ oil earlier this year

Watch the George Roop KO an endless amount of times today

George Roop knew the only way you can kill a zombie is with a direct headshot. He forget to double tap, so there’s a chance that we may see The Korean Zombie back in the WEC. I think Chan Sung Jung’s head bounced off the mat a total of four times, which has to set

The Reem: Episode 6 is out and it’s amazing

We’ve published every ‘The Reem’ episode on MiddleEasy and with every segment, it feels like we’re taking an unsolicited dive into the life of Alistair Overeem. If you haven’t seen any of the episodes, then my suggestion would be to use that ‘Search’ function on the right side of this page and type in ‘The
