MMA Fighter's Nose Probably Shouldn't Look Like That
This here is a photo of cage fighter/tomato can Andy Eichholz, who was KO'ed 15 seconds into his fight against Wade Sauer over the weekend. I'm no doctor, but that nose looks like it wants to be an ear....

Anderson Silva's Final Moment
Anderson Silva, more than any other fighter ever, had—or has, who knows—a gift for timing, so that his career played out as a sequence of essentially perfect moments. The best may have been a Chaplinesque performance in a loss this summer that was so unimprovable that he should have said he was done...
How Anderson Silva Turned Loss Into Victory
Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman will fight for the middleweight title tonight in a rematch of their bout from July, and it's a strange one, because despite Weidman having finished Silva off last time, no one really has any idea what to expect. Weidman could wax an aged and suddenly vulnerable Silva...
Spider-Man Fights Batman And Robin In Ridiculous MMA Match
I don't have any information or context to provide to help you make sense of how this video came to be. The best I can do is this message board thread that has live play-by-play of the action, but it isn't necessarily all that helpful. ("No one in the crowd. Including us, know what the fucks going ...
Ronda Rousey Curses On <em>SportsCenter</em>, Asked To Enter "Cuddle Tree"
UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey went on SportsCenter today for a predictably ridiculous interview in which her Saturday bout against Miesha Tate was treated less like a title fight than as an opportunity to see two saucy broads who really don't like one another going at it. The best p...
Either Chael Sonnen Is The Toughest Man Alive, Or TSN Is Full Of Shit
TSN Off The Record host Michael Landsberg appears to have just broken one of the great sports stories of the year, a stirring tale of the triumph of the human spirit that doubles as a horrifying scandal, unless he didn't. It was definitely one or the other. Probably....

This is former MMA fighter Brock Lesnar posing for a photograph with the founders of the Jimmy John's sandwich chain. Good god, what are those pants?!?...
GSP Is Being Honest; It's The Best Thing That Could Happen To Fighting
So UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre is disappearing from the fight game for an indefinite and unspecified period of time, relinquishing his title and taking time to rest from a career that's seen him spend more time fighting in the UFC than anyone else ever has. Whether or not he ever ret...

ESPN Writer Denies Writing ESPN Article Claiming Living Man Is Dead
This is tragic and weird. MMA fighter Shane Del Rosario is on life support after suffering a series of critical heart attacks this week, but according to numerous sources close to the situation (including Del Rosario's own family members), he is still alive. That's contrary to what ESPN's been repo...
Lowsman Trophy Watch: Kareem Martin Is The Last Thing A QB Sees
Each week, Football Outsiders recognizes the most outstanding college linemen, defenders and other darkhorses from the previous weekend who are habitually overlooked in the hype for that other award (whatever it's called). These are the Lowsmen....

Never-Before-Seen Color Footage Of 1965 Baseball Is Incredibly Cool

How The Jets' Run-Stuffing, QB-Ruining Defensive Line Came To Be
It's up in the air who named the Jets' defensive line of Sheldon Richardson, Damon Harrison, and Muhammad Wilkerson the "Sons of Anarchy," but there's no question how disruptive and dominant the line has been. Without much help from the secondary, it's helped return Rex Ryan's squad to its place as...
Dwight Howard Wants To Fight In The UFC For Some Reason
So Dwight Howard was backstage at a fight card in Houston recently and he talked boisterously, before Chandler Parsons and the world, about how he'd love to fight one day and would do it for $10 million and—and, who cares, right? It's Dwight Howard. We know he'll never fight. (Even if he did, it wou...
