The Sunday Morning Rumor Mill

It’s my responsibility to make this abundantly clear. MiddleEasy doesn’t publish fake or false stories, ever. In fact, we pride ourselves on the integrity of our work. We have a weekly feature called the Sunday Morning Rumor Mill in which we post rumors that are floating around the MMA world. I’m not sure how clear I can make that, but apparently people have been copying these rumors and pasting them as fact on a variety of forums and attributing them to MiddleEasy.com. To those that have done this, I hope your reproductive organs implode from within your body and that you will never be able to reproduce more stupidity into this universe. If you’re going to post one of these rumors on a forum, place ‘Rumor’ in the title. Otherwise, MiddleEasy.com gets a bad reputation which will probably result in this feature getting cut from the site permanently. My god you 10ers, ruining it for everyone…
