I firmly believe that honesty is the best policy, although that method is sure to make people not like you, but Jon Jones has finally realized he has enough haters to the point where he has diminishing hostility returns on his comments. Jon Jones is the LeBron James of MMA, and we have to accept
Ah, another edition of ‘Sh*t people tweeted @MiddleEasy during…’ For the uninitiated, just before any UFC event we call out for our followers to hit us with the most witty tweets imaginable regarding the specified event. We’re talking about an astronomical level of cleverness, only reserved for the likes of Artie Lange and Mitch Hedberg
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Cecil Peoples, he was one of the three judges that scored UFC 104. He was also the same guy who judged the Bisping vs. Hamil match in favor of Bisping. He’s actually a well-respected martial-artist who received his black-belt in Karate under Master Ryusaki in North Hollywood.
[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on FighterXFashion.com, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] Along with the fourth UFC on FOX fight card comes the latest round of walkout tees for some of the night’s main fighters. As Shogun Rua, Brandon Vera, Ryan Bader and Lyoto Machida all compete during the televised card to
You knew things were bad when even Lyoto Machida’s walkout music was elusive. Tonight marks the first time we’ve ever seen jedi mind tricks successfully employed within an Octagon. Just after Shogun Rua defeated Lyoto Machida, his manager at the time, Eduardo Alonso, essentially divulged Lyoto Machida’s secret. According to Alonso, Machida fakes in order
Opinions are like ***holes, everybody’s got one. That’s actually not a true statement. There are some people born without an anus. It’s a condition called an imperforate anus. Granted if you are born this way it’s pretty likely, (if the doctor and your parents feel you are worthy) you will have a man made anus installed surgically
Hey, do you guys remember that time Brandon Vera and Lloyd Irvin were held at gunpoint by home invaders until Loyd Irvin disarmed one of the attackers like a boss and the bad dudes ran away? That’s scary stuff right there, it kind of makes you want a Lloyd Irvin in every house, watching over
[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on DstryrSG, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] While many complain about the overwhelming and increasing prices of UFC PPV’s vs the quality/oversaturation of MMA cards. There are many “free” options that won’t cost you a new pair of vale tudo shorts, yet continue to be impressive. The
It comforts me to know that out there, somewhere, Jens Pulver is hunched over playing on a really, really nice gaming PC. He’s probably just as excited as I am about the Steam Summer Sale that launched today. I mean, Portal 2 for $5? Yes please. Oh – you want Total War: Shogun 2 and
If I changed one letter in ‘escapade,’ all of you would be wondering how the hell did Cadillac make an indestructible Escalade and where can you buy it. A few of you may even get instantly paranoid and wonder exactly why Cadillac has made an ‘undefeated Escalade’ and what the automotive industry is trying to
If you have been following Mixed Martial Arts for the past ten years or so, the name Babalu is one that you’ll readily recognize. Renato “Babalu” Sobral has been around the block quite a few times, and has had his run in the big leagues with the UFC and Strikeforce before he headed to One
It seems as though the year 2012 is going to go down in MMA history as the year of the injury. Virtually every upcoming card has had its frate trane derailed due to multiple random injuries over the last month or so. The next time we see Joe Silva he will probably be bald from
Sports Illustrated’s Loretta Hunt and I attended the E3 Expo last week in an attempt to create the most unexpected crew in sports history. Unfortunately, that skinny fight analyst dude from Poland missed his flight from Europe, so we were the only ones that could attend. If you’ve never been to E3, it’s sort of
Why Johnny Hendricks and Carlos Condit weren’t matched for UFC on Fox 4 I have no idea. As entertaining as Shogun vs Vera will be, a title fight would presumably attract a bigger audience on virtue alone. A title fight headlining a Fox card makes absolutely perfect sense. We’re all trying to second guess Zuffa
Three years ago, I boarded a plane from New York to Los Angeles to see Shogun become the UFC light heavyweight champion at UFC 104. I waited so long to see it happen and figured he’d walk right through Lyoto Machida with a superior striking skillset in a fight that definitely wouldn’t hit the ground.
The first time I saw Eddie Alvarez fighting, he was 8-0 and fighting on Bodog Fight’s Costa Rica Combat. Totally bizarre set-up but I also managed to catch Roy Nelson, Rosi Sexton, Jake Ellenberger, Chael Sonnen, Jake Shields and Brad Pickett on Bodog Fights so totally worth it and if you can catch any of
