The Grappling Dummy

Subo joins me for just over an hour of MMA talk as we break down the UFC 118 card from the Spike prelims to the main event. We talk about BJ Penn being over-hyped, Frankie Edgar being under-hyped, and Nate Diaz pillow punching his way to another solid victory. On the side, we also bring up how Strikeforce is evil (but never in the way we want them to be) an […]

Dana White says Fedor will be featured in the second season of Spike's PRIDE show. I'm not gonna hold my breath, but at least it's a more positive thing to hear from Dana regarding Fedor than what he was saying back in July: "You think I’m going to open the doors and say, come on in and try to compete with my business and do this and do […]

Everyone is having a good laugh at the idea of Dana Fucking White speaking to the Oxford Union Society during the leadup to UFC 120 in London. What, a foul mouthed Yankee involved with something that has the word Oxford in it? Poppycock!

This is 8-0 prospect Rick Hawn using his Olympic-level judo on some poor fool in MMA. After the jump, a few of his throws from judo competitions. I can't see Rick pulling any of these off in MMA unless Dana White makes shirts mandatory for all Toney and Tuchscherer type fatasses, but they're pretty keen none the less. read more […]

Because I just can't get enough of that dead animal hanging off Wanderlei's chin, here's a romo gallery for you over at TheGarv. […]

Brett Rogers vs Ruben "Warpath" Villareal @ W-1 HalifaxStrikeforce has given Brett Rogers permission to fight for the W-1 promotion in Canada on October 23rd, but I have to imagine it was on the condition that he not face anyone with even a remote chance of beating him. How else can you explain the return of Warpath, who's literally made a liv […]

Roger Huerta showed up on TMZ yesterday for 30 minutes of awkward live conversation about that girl-punching jackass he destoyed in Austin last month. While he spent a good amount of the show freezing up every time he realized he might say something potentially incriminating, he did managed to get this out: "I approached the man and said, "You don […]
