Ball Boy Gets His Ass Kicked By Soccer Player For Celebrating A Goal

Nate Diaz Enjoys UFC Fight
The best moment of last night’s UFC event (Sage Northcutt’s win aside) came shortly before the main event.

Flames Pest Ryan Lomberg Takes On A Much Larger Opponent, Eats Many Fists
The reason why the tale of David and Goliath is notable is because most of the time, Goliath should win. Put a 5-foot-9, 175-pound AHL goon against a 6-foot-5, 235-pound counterpart, and who do you think will usually come out on top?...

The Very Real Daniel Cormier-Stipe Miocic Heavyweight Superfight Is Going To Rule So Hard

Francis Ngannou Is The Most Exciting Talent In MMA
Talent, to paraphrase a Justice of the Supreme Court’s aphorism on the topic of pornography, is something you know when you see. It leaps off the page and jumps through a TV screen or off a stage.
