After School at the Bus Stop
In middle school and even high school, even the rumor of a fight was all the rage. We’d eagerly find a way to get to the meeting point, and if we couldn’t get there we’d sit and wait by the phone for the post-fight recap. At the risk of sounding old, I should point out [...]
UFC on Versus 1 (Preview)
UFC on Versus 1 is on this Sunday, a questionable move by the UFC considering how few people subscribe to Versus as compared to a network like CBS. In Canda this event will also be shown on SportsNet and TheScore. This card seems irrelevant, and it is, but there’s some great fights here which will [...]
Breaking Down Tate vs. Frausto
On March 26, Zoila “Warrior Princess” Frausto (5-0) will be fighting Miesha “Takedown” Tate (8-2). Although Frausto won her last fight by armbar, the rest of her wins were by decision.

TUF Fighter Escudero Expects War From Dan Lauzon
Even fighters featured on The Ultimate Fighter reality TV show don’t have a slack when it comes to losses and poor performances in the UFC. Just one loss drastically increases pressure on the fighters to put together a good fight or run the risk of possibly being dropped into MMA obscurity.
Efrain Escudero looks to bounce [...]
A Night of Heartbreaks (aka WEC 47)
WEC 47 was so hard to watch!
First, there was Brian Bowles breaking his hand right when the first punch flew. Bowles didn’t really seem present in the first two rounds of this fight, and that explains it right there. Surprisingly, Bowles has actually gotten some criticism for not continuing in this bout… which I think [...]
The Need to Entertain
I’ll admit it. I’m really not much of a team sports fan. I’m not sure whether this puts me in the minority amongst MMA enthusiasts or not, but I’ve never really followed anything but individual sports. I have a cursory knowledge of fantasy football obtained through eavesdropping on the conversations of others, and I’ve glanced at [...]
