Pro Cyclist Booted From Race For Using His Bike As A Weapon
Cycling season has well and truly started up and that means that cycling fighting season has also begun.

The Crappy, Grumpy Suns Took Two Cheap Shots At Ricky Rubio
One thing about being on an NBA team that’s rounding into the home stretch of a miserable tanking campaign is that it can make you cranky as hell. As evidence, please see the shenanigans the Suns got into with the Jazz last night....
Now This Is An Old-School Hockey Fight
The argument for fighting in hockey is twofold: that the threat of a beating serves as a deterrent, policing dirty hits against skill players, and that a good, rousing rumble can fire up an uninspired team.

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

Just three seconds into last night’s Avs-Blues contest, Colorado’s Gabriel Landeskog and St. Louis’s Brayden Schenn decided to randomly drop the gloves and have a brawl in open ice.

Infuriated Georgia Rugby Players Pause Rugby Game To Beat The Shit Out Of Each Other
Georgian Big 10 league rugby sides Kharebi and Armazi met last Friday in Rustavi, Georgia (the central Asian country, not the southeastern state) for a friendly brawl, and also apparently a rugby match. Armazi won the match, 22-17, though it’s a bit more difficult to suss out who won the fight....
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.

Austrian Hockey Fight Breaks Out During Intermission Interview
Tom Zanoski of Medveščak Zagreb in the Austrian Hockey League really didn’t want to talk about how that first period went.

Argentine Soccer Club Suspended A Year And Relegated After Savagely Beating Three Referees
