UFC July 31st Announcements Leaked

6132-danawhiteufc83postAs with all things meant to be kept a secret, someone tells a friend in confidence and eventually it is headline news.

It is no different when it comes to the UFC and their upcoming July 31st press conference where Dana White has promised to announce “a lot of crazy things”.

Once again I have been able to obtain a sneak preview of the events that are planned and indeed there are some items on the list that have me equal parts aghast, shocked and appalled. Read More

I Support You Pumpkin Eater Barnett

barnett1It will be easy to criticize John Barnett over what is being alleged as a positive drug test that is going to remove him as Fedor’s opponent in what is likely the final Affliction card.

Cheater cheater pumpkin eater.  I get it.  It’s wrong.  Bad Josh.

But let’s hold on a second here before we rush to judgment Read More

No Doubt Lesnar Ate The Most Hot Dogs

059865_wrestle_GXW_We all remember the bully growing up.

I did not go to grade school or high school with Brock Lesnar, but I can bet with near certainty of winning that he exemplified the bully growing up.

No doubt if you went to Mom Lesnar’s place and asked to see little Brock’s class picture from grade three there would be 20 or so four foot tall kids and an eight foot Brocky Lesnar towering Read More

Pair Of Giggles Beats Ace High

tim-and-rayHee hee Mirko Cro-Cop and ha ha to you Tim Sylvia.  You both had me laughing on the weekend and once in awhile we all need a chuckle.  Thanks guys. 

 They approached their jokes in different ways, but each achieved the same level of hilarity by the end of the weekend.

 Let’s start with Tim “Ten Second” Sylvia.  If you haven’t seen the fight, take a few seconds (literally) and watch the below: Read More

Gene Sapakoff Might Have Goo for Brains

Image of Gene Sapakoff from media.charleston.net We all know there are some battles ahead when looking to get mixed martial arts sanctioned in all states as well as across Canada. New York being one of the main targets where we all hope to see positive movement in the near term.

Recently, there was some progress in Alabama as well as South Carolina towards approval of our beloved MMA that was of course tempered with the usual backlash of uninformed journalistic babble from individuals such as Gene Gene the Writing Machine Sapakoff. Read More

You Said Fuck

Original Image of Chuck Liddell from mmawild.comWhat’s this – Chuck still wants to fight?

Apparently not if Dana White has a say in the decision. Dana said fuck a lot but ignoring the dirty words he made some valid points in a recent interview in response to Liddell’s longtime trainer John Hackelman’s claims that Chuck is not set on retiring – not just yet.

Hackelman made several claims related to Dana’s bullying of Chuck in to retirement. “Dana is Dana and he’s got the two rich brothers backing him up and he’s got all the money in the world. Read More

Stop Dumping on Silva

UFC 97 Mixed Martial ArtsBoo. Boring. Bulls#@t.

That’s all you could hear throughout the Bell Centre at UFC97 during the main event.

The round would begin, Thales Leites would slide to the ground on his back like a dog looking for a belly rub and Anderson Silva would stare at him until he eventually decided to kick his shins a few times. Round over. Repeat.

No amount of vodka red bulls could make that fight interesting. Trust me, I tried. Read More

Lashley vs. Lesnar?

You heard it here first – Blaster Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar.

Why not? Two WWE stars that have made their way to MMA.

Ok so first Lashley has to beat someone of significance and sign on with the UFC but it didn’t exactly take Lesnar years to get his shot. A couple fights and there he was with the heavyweight belt opportunity. Read More

You are sitting around with some friends having a few drinks and it gets late and someone kicks off a game of silly bugger.

It’s not an official game like Monopoly, more just slurred ideas at the end of the night with someone looking to be Chief Silly Bugger before it is time to call it quits. Read More
