Joe Lauzon is a man on island. On this island, Lauzon may be tied to a Reebok designed chair with his arms crossed up by some poorly crafted Reebok rope. Joe Lauzon, blink twice if Reebok has kidnapped you or anyone of your family members. When 99.99% of the UFC roster is loathing the company’s
While the Combat Sports world worries about Mayweather versus McGrgeor on August 26th in Las Vegas, we’re over here with our jaws dropped about the balls on the UFC Fight Pass account.

In a complete breach of the unwritten etiquette of social media, the UFC’s official Twitter account has been direct messaging accounts across the MMA Twittersphere (that’s a thing) in order to sell UFC 210. Your humble author received his own personal message: The honor was… overwhelming. And the video was great, until the end where
The UFC used every damn precaution they could to keep the weigh-ins from not erupting into complete chaos. No teams were allowed into the arena and even Nick Diaz was escorted out by the police. There wasn’t a water bottle to be found. Screw that, UFC said, you’ll have to hydrate back at the privacy
Be careful what you wish for. Only 25 days after Nate Diaz choked out Conor McGregor at UFC196, the promotion booked the two fighters in an immediate rematch at UFC 200 in July. Two times in four months, the MMA world will be blessed with a Stockton vs. Dublin scrap inside the Octagon. Not only

UFC president Dana White recently said a lot of made-up things about Stockton-born badass Nate Diaz last week, but most baffling of all was the claim that Diaz the Younger doesn’t move “the needle” with fans. We here at MiddleEasy don’t need to tell you how false that sounds, and shame on Dana for his lies. But

UFC fans, sit down—we’ve got something to tell you about Stefan Struve. ‘Good news? He didn’t lose his UFC 175 heavyweight fight with Matt Mitrione. ‘Bad, awful, terrible-as-Hell news? According to SportsCenter and media on-site, Struve just collapsed backstage due to heart complications. For those who don’t know, this was supposed to be Struve’s first
Now that UFC 172 is wrapped up in the history books, we no longer have anything to look forward to this upcoming Saturday. There’s Erick Silva and Matt Brown, but that’s not until May 10th, and the entire card looks pretty forced. You could exchange the prelim or the main card and no one would
Whew! I bet you guys thought we would never publish this edition of ‘Sh*t People Tweeted @MiddleEasy.’ Well good, we exceeded your expectations. Our work here is done. Now it’s time to get to more important things, like wasting hours analyzing this geographically-accurate map of the internet. UFC on FOX: Henderson vs. Thomson was a
Occasionally FOX Sports Australia features writers from different media platforms and republishes their articles in their entirety on FOXsports.com.au. In this case, The Courier-Mail’s Phil Rothfield wrote an uninformed article in which he demonizes the UFC and calls for a ban in Australia. It’s too ridiculous to sum up, perhaps you should just read a snippet
