Nostalgia: Georges St. Pierre vs Georges Laraque
With the news that Donald Brashear is going to try MMA combined with the fact that Georges St. Pierre is defending his title against Jake Shields in 5 days, we thought it was an appropriate time to post this video from 2010 of GSP taking on former NHL champion enforcer Georges Laraque in a pure [...]
How stacked is UFC 129?
We’re 1 week out from UFC 129, the 1st ever Ontario card, Georges St. Pierre and Jose Aldo defending their titles, and a general sense of epicness. With the exception of some of the old Pride cards, has there ever been a card like this in a venue like this? The card has fights that [...]
How Anderson Silva prepares for fights: Friday treat
In addition to being the 1a or 1b pound for pound best fighter in the world, Anderson Silva prepares for fights like no other. The champ engages in a couple vigorous rounds of paintball and eats some McDonalds Big Macs before fight day. Wait wut? Look, paintball is fantastic, but it doesn’t prepare you for [...]
Happy trails, DREAM?
Unfortunately for those who have followed Shinya Aoki, Joachim Hansen, and other fighters who have spent most of their careers in Japan, Japanese MMA has increasingly been in dire straits.

UFC attempts to branch out with NCAA advertising push
We’ve said our piece about the UFC and Zuffa sometimes acting in ways that are counterintuitive to making MMA mainstream, but this campaign by Dana White and co. to get involved in the EA Sports NCAA video game was good marketing, though it didn’t achieve the optimal result.

Nostalgia: Of course Mayhem Miller wins best entrance

Videos: Patricio Freire and Patricky Freire- Knockout Brothers of the Year
It is probably a little premature to suggest that Patricio Freire and Patricky Freire (both nicknamed Pitbull) are the next iteration of the Nogueira brothers in terms of MMA success, or that they’ll go to the UFC and starting knocking out divisions. However, in their last appearances each brother turned in devastating knockouts that will [...]

Rashad Evans is not a douchebag
Rashad Evans gets a lot of flack for his attitude, or rather, people’s perception of his attitude. If you’ve never seen or heard from him outside his UFC fights and promos for fights, there’s a better than 50-50 chance you think he’s a douchebag. But watch these clips: This obviously goes against the whole ‘Jon [...]
