There is only one more school day until Jon Jones challenges Shogun Rua for the UFC Light Heavyweight title, and we know it will be spent daydreaming of leg kicks and doodling ‘I heart Shogun’ and ‘Pride never die’ with a Sharpie on your 3 ring binder. South Windsor High School’s very own Gary LaPlante
It’s a shame that Spiderman has now been relegated to a sidewalk act on the Santa Monica pier. Gone are the days when he used to protect the world from villains like Lizardman and Doctor Octopus. We have MMA fighters for that, which subsequently makes all Marvel superheros unemployed. Now the best thing Spiderman can
So it wasn’t what you were expecting, but by some strange technicality this is considered staredown regardless of the fact that Shogun Rua was preoccupied by a shiny object in the crowd. Actually, when asked to face-off, Shogun Rua refused to look at Jon Bones Jones and instead, veered his attention to something that was
This weekend at UFC 128 we will see the greatest possible light heavyweight fight that can be constructed in MMA. There’s no debate on cross-promoting with another organization to bring in higher competition. This is it, and for some odd reason, the current champion is the underdog. On most betting sites, Jon Bones Jones is
Ninja Rua, the brother of Shogun Rua, whose parents were obviously Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden II last fought against an opponent that came in 5.5 lbs overweight at W-1 New Ground in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It was the same card that everyone still believes Ruban Villareal defeated Brett Rogers, but in reality The Grim
If any of you out there can understand Portuguese, then you can watch this video from TATAME magazine of Shogun Rua claiming that Rampage Jackson ducked him for a title bout. However for us shlubs that only know one language really well and maybe another language only to the extent that we can throw ignorant
Never have we seen an MMA fighter utilize telepathy to defeat their opponent, aside from Aleksander Emelianenko using his mental powers to knockout Eddy Bengtsson last year at ProFC. Now it looks like Greg Jackson is in the process of injecting his MMA fighters with midichlorians and enlisting them all in a rigorous course of
Preparing for a UFC title fight takes more concentration and dedication that I’m able to sustain at any given moment. Something shiny catches my eye and my imagination steers me from whatever I was doing. It’s probably best I don’t own a car anymore. Luckily, I’m not the one who’s scheduled to fight Mauricio Shogun
Sometimes I look at a vase and convince myself that if I ever run out of red cups, I could drink out of that. Then I remember that vases are used as sleeping bags for flowers, and I slowly abandon that idea. There should be no follow-up statement to that, but for the sake of

Let’s just be clear here, after Lyoto Machida ‘defeated’ Shogun Rua at UFC 104, I tweeted (twatted?) ‘Welcome to the Machida Error‘. Some [expletive] then stole that line, and sent it to Joe Rogan, Dana White and spammed it to roughly around twenty MMA sites. Joe Rogan retweeted the line, and then it spread across
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

It looks like all that wrestling King Mo taught Rashad Evans over the past couple months has finally paid off. Rashad has defeated Rampage Jackson which means that a little bit of Pride FC just died in all of our hearts. As Agent Smith taught us in The Matrix: ‘Everything that has a beginning has
You’ve been following the Don King/Shine Fights drama that has transpired last week, you even have the t-shirt to prove it. In short, Shine Fights was going to headline their third event with Ricardo Mayorga in his MMA debut. Don King claimed that Ricardo was still under a promotional contract with him. Shine Fights didn’t
We’re not going to sit here and tell you how Shogun Rua landed more strikes than Machida at UFC 104 or how Cecil Peoples said if you don’t like the decision you ‘can go to hell‘. We’re just here to tell you that tonight, all trash-talking, unpaid bets, crushed egos, hurt feelings, stolen socks, bruised
