Pow, right in the kisser. Earlier today I told Shane Carwin that if he were to rank the Top Ten MMA sites, I would publish it on MiddleEasy with neon lights. Little did I know that we would be chosen as Shane Carwin’s #1 MMA site. This is like the closest thing in the MMA world to receiving an academy award so I would like to dedicate this award to my Spanish 201 teacher for passing me even though I just got the Costa Rican dude that lived next door to do all my homework (I used to pay him in 12-packs of Rolling Rock). Also, props to our very own Steve Ferdman for making Carwin’s list of Top 5 photographers. This list will be endlessly debated on The UG as well as Shane Carwin’s official blog until the world blows up from that Large Hadron Collider (which is probably going to happen sometime this summer).
Check out the MMA world according to UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion, Shane Carwin:
