Now that I’m single, especially on Valentine’s Day, I have an abundant amount of time to write pseudo-analytical pieces on MMA while taking occasional breaks to spy on my neighbors. Whenever you guys see an article from me after 3:00 am, it’s solely due to being up late trying to listen in on what my
Cain Velasquez attended Arizona State University, which already places him at a disadvantage in the Frate Trane list. Any Wildcat would understand, it’s only business.

as dasd s Rewind your memory cortex to the briefly-lived era of Shine Fights. We’re not going to retell the story of how Don King intervened in court to literally drop a duffel bag of one million dollars to prevent Ricardo Mayorga vs. Din Thomas from happening. However we will tell you about the moment
The best MMA documentary known to mankind is here with the second episode of the third season of The Reem – just in time for UFC 156- and interestingly enough, it’s based around the Blackzilians and their comradery on the heels of Bigfoot Silva saying they were all about the cash. Take a backstage look
Is it unfair to feast your eyes on a bunch of dehydrated and starving fighters? Can they tell your eyes are having a feast? Should we be more sensitive to the fighters who are so dehydrated they may not be able to shed a tear for their organization’s final weigh in broadcast? Perhaps, so we
I watch a Fedor fight every Sunday to recognize and respect The Last Emperor’s faith, and I can’t think of a better way to kick off this Sunday with the new site design and all than with Fedor Vs. Hendo. Why celebrate and honor Fedor with a viewing of a loss, you ask? Well, I
