I haven't seen this anywhere else, so I thought I would pass it along.
Truth be told, I have no idea what is being said in this video, but I do find it fascinating that such a large press conference was held to announce the Yoshihiro Akiyama's arrival in the UFC ...

That seems about right (1:44 mark).
Cena does seem intent on calling out "The Rock" any chance he gets. Hey, John, I dig what you are doing by calling out "The Rock," really, I do, but you gotta step things up in the trash-talking department. Look below, you could learn a ...

Best news I've heard all week? David Haye will be facing Wladimir Klitschko on June 20.
This is the first heavyweight boxing fight that I've looked forward to since, oh, Lennox Lewis vs. Mike Tyson in 2002. And if all goes well, I think this could be the fight that propels ...

When it comes to MMA television commentators, there is no one better than Joe Rogan. His love for the sport coupled with his vast knowledge make him number one in my books.
Case in point: MMARingReport.com asks him one question about why Lyoto Machida and Rashad Evans aren't fan favorites, and ...

I'm going to try to post one of these "memories" every day. Let's see if it lasts longer than three days.
The date: April 6, 1987
The place: Caesers Palace, Las Vegas, Nev.
The moment: "Sugar" Ray Leonard defeats Marvin Hagler via split decision.
A fight that is still being argued in barber shops ...

This has got to be some kind of fetish video that I just don't get. Here's current UFC Octagon girl Edith Labelle eating on camera. That's it. Just eating.
To be fair, I fast forwarded through most of the clip because, well, the whole eating thing just wasn't doing it for ...

Consider me unimpressed with Mickey Rourke's appearance at Wrestlemania 25 last night. He spent months learning how to wrestle and all we get is some lame boxing routine? C'mon, couldn't we have gotten at least one elbow drop?
Of course, the highlight of the segment was seeing Frank Shamrock sit next ...

I'm not ashamed to admit that that I fell in love with Takeya Mizugaki last night. No, not in THAT way, of course. I just loved watching him attempt to shock the MMA world by coming this close to defeating Miguel Torres. Everything from his jovial demeanor in the days ...

Tons of goodness at VERSUS.COM from the last few days. I would post the vids here, but for some reason you can't post multiple Versus vids on the same page. So for now, here's my one-on-one with WEC bantamweight fighter Brian Bowles from yesterday's weigh-ins.
We got interviews with Torres, Mizugaki, ...

A solid night of fights last night. I spewed out all my thoughts at VERSUS.com, but here's a taste:
"* TYSON GRIFFIN (13-2) DEF. RAFAEL DOS ANJOS (11-4) VIA UNANIMOUS DECISION (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
I have mixed emotions about this fight. On the hand, I must applaud Tyson Griffin for escaping an ...
