Nate Diaz Accuses Conor McGregor Of Steroid Use At Impressively Ludicrous Press Conference

It’s late February and not much is going on in sports, so the press conference the UFC held today to promote Conor McGregor’s upcoming fight against Nate Diaz was the most entertaining happening of the day largely by default. Even so, it was really something, every bit as dumb as could be hoped....

Report: Dada 5000 Was In Critical Condition And His Heart Stopped After Kimbo Slice Knocked Him Out

Dhafir Harris, aka Dada 5000, was stretchered out of the ring yesterday after Kimbo Slice knocked him out in the third round (or more accurately, after he just sort of woozily collapsed and fell down).

How To Live With Roommates Without Being A Jerk

There’s nothing more freeing than walking around your house naked, and without having to worry whether someone will come home and crash your personal time. Unfortunately, it’s more of a privilege than a reality for most of us. Life is hard, and necessity means splitting the rent with other people if...

Peyton Manning Told Emmanuel Sanders To Be Ready For His Self-Sack

For a Broncos’ offense without much going in the air (Peyton Manning’s struggles didn’t magically go away, though the receivers’ drops may have hurt more than anything else), Denver’s longest play from scrimmage was a weird one. Early in the fourth quarter, Manning slid to the turf to avoid perceive...

Legendary Fighter Kazushi Sakuraba Brutalized In Depressing Spectacle

Fighting is too young a sport for a descriptor like “legend” to mean all that much, but so far as it does, Kazushi Sakuraba is one of the few people who deserve it.

Have You Seen Nick Diaz's Bike?

It’s been a bad year for Nick Diaz. First the MMA great lost to Anderson Silva.

Watch Both Corners React To Conor McGregor's One-Punch KO Of Jose Aldo

UFC’s army of lawyers doesn’t want you to see video of Conor McGregor’s one-punch knockout of Jose Aldo in 13 seconds, the shortest title fight in UFC history.

Dana White: I'm Voting For Donald Trump

I mean, look, as a fight fan and as an American I feel like I should question why anyone would care about who Dana White is voting for; go on about why Dana White shouldn’t be okay with a guy who’s been in the news for wanting to ban Muslims from the United States; muse on whether publishing an item...
