Listen Batman, we know you are Bruce Wayne. Don’t patronize us with this constant denial of your alter ego. Gotham City is in a horrid state, Harvey Dent is dead, crime is still rampant and you have inspired a countless number of criminals to pull out their old costume chest (many criminals keep their old
You guys remember when Dan Henderson launched a tactical missile at Michael Bisping’s chin at UFC 100 and shocked every living organism that had their television’s tuned-in at UFC 100? Hendo was ecstatic from that knockout and wanted another crack at Anderson Silva, but Dana White simply did not want to make that match-up happen.
Shogun has evened up the series to 1-1 and after tonight, I don’t think Forrest Griffin wants the rubber match. Shogun fought like he does in Gary LaPlante’s wet dreams, walking right at Forrest and swinging for the fences. After very, very brief feeling out period, Forrest tries to play the leg kick game but
Soul taking in MMA and other combat sports is no secret, but if you aren’t familiar, let me break it down for you. A fighters soul is taken on a spectacular knockout after which the KO’d fighter is never the same. Key examples include Arvloski’s mid air collision with Fedor’s fist at Affliction, Cro Cop
[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on FighterXFashion.com, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] Bad Boy is back once again with the newest Mauricio “Shogun” Rua signature T-shirt, this time created for his rematch against Forrest Griffin at UFC 134. Moving away from the traditional Bad Boy eyes design often found on the fight
Before Shogun vs. Machida went down at UFC 104, I tirelessly drew every comparison that I could to Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon. When I first mentioned it, people said it was genius. No, genius would be finding the guy that convinced Kawajiri to rock a fish-net, black hoodie at Dream 15. That guy should get a
I’m not up on my American history so I might have to re-watch Deadliest Warrior to check, but I don’t think any Native American has ever executed a guillotine choke, especially not the last of the Mohicans. I don’t know if Tito Ortiz is still considering himself a Mohican or if this means he is
Everything that you ever wanted to know about MMA already happened in Pride. Hospital visits, brain concussions, guys with red thongs, teeth lodged in fists and above all else — foot stomps. It’s a tool that would completely negate any jiu-jitsu player from pulling guard in the middle of a match and would level the
Shogun doesn’t care about Jon Jones, the horse he rode in on or Eddie Murphy’s couch. He also doesn’t care how your girlfriend copes with her life debilitating Shogun Rua obsession. He just wants the belt and he’s willing to do anything to get it, including returning to the octagon to face Bones Jones once
The Sports Science lab is back at it just in time for UFC 129 with some GSP statistics that are probably going to make Bloodstain Lane put on a tin foil hat and start searching the skies of NYC for black helicopters. According to The Sport Science lab test results-GSP’s punches not only exert more pounds of
I have a hard time falling asleep. Usually, I’m the kind of guy who likes to eventually drift off to dreamland while watching something on TV, to be specific UFC 1 through about 27. I have been called weird for this before, but there is something about those early NHB shows that I watched a
See the above banner of Shogun smiling happily? That’s exactly how happy I would be if I could be at LCD Soundsystem’s final show in NYC next weekend. It’s a bummer that the best band of the last 10 years has to break up, but sometimes that’s just what has to happen, time to move
[div class=”notice” class2=”icon”]The following is from an article on LiverKick.com, part of the MiddleEasy Network.[/div] We just saw a hype train not get derailed, but fly off of the rails on its own accord and into the realm of hyperbole. Not in a very long time have I seen a fighter get as hyped up
I feel so voyeuristic watching WandFightTeam videos on Youtube. I actually feel like I’m in Brazil or California or wherever the parking lot Wand and co. are habituating in at the moment, talking fights, chillin. I feel like the camera is my eyes and I am saying absolutely nothing as I get really close to
If you woke up this morning with the intention of seeing an extremely detailed version of Shogun Rua embodied in the frame of a Rotobox Vinyl Anatomica toy, then today is your lucky day. There, I made your dreams come true, now you can go back to sleep and chase some more of them. Art
So I’m a sucker for good looks and a chiseled face. Just kidding, I’m straight. No really, I am. Sure I downloaded every episode of ‘The Bachelor’ this season, but I really love women — and only women. Alright, who am I kidding…everyone loves Shogun. Not in the ‘high mark of admiration’ way that one
