Brock Lesnar Blowing Away Prairie Dogs Has Very Little To Do With Michael Vick
You may have seen some whining and bitching when this video of Brock Lesnar taking out prairie dogs with what appears to be the BFG 9000 from Doom hit the web. We don't really want to get into moral equivalency arguments about hunting and dogfighting and wanton slaughter of semi-sentient beings. B...
Does The UFC's Fox Deal Mean MMA Has Finally Gone Mainstream?
Oh god. Now we're going to have this idiotic debate again. Sports Business Daily today reported that the UFC has signed a seven or eight year deal to air as many as four events a year on the Fox network. The deal represents "a major push into the mainstream for the UFC."...

Only Real Men Drink (And Fight) At The Brown Derby Niteclub In Silver City, New Mexico
If you ever get the chance to talk to a professional MMA fighter, it's worth asking about the fights he had before he started making real dough. The grimy ones. Almost all the MMA guys of a certain generation have wild stories about scrapping in the streets or in the gyms after hours. Joseph Benavid...

Manscaping And A Mankini Helped MMA Reach Its Aesthetic Nadir At UFC 133
No one watches UFC—what with its bloody noses, sweaty chests, cauliflower ears—for beauty's sake. No one would confuse Dana White with Donna Karan. But holy lord, things got ugly in one of the undercard fights last night....
MMA Sexpot Gina Carano Is Starring In A Soderbergh Movie With A Bunch Of Real Actors
A lot of female MMA fighters don't like Gina Carano because they don't look like Gina Carano. Well, shoot. The world ain't fair. Carano hasn't fought in over two years, when she got the bejeezus beat out of her by Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos. Yet Carano has leveraged her pretty face into a pretty sw...
UFC Ring Girl Arianny Celeste Spotted Making Out With A Giant Banana Penis
These UFC ring girls have tough lives, let me tell you. They prance about in bikinis, get schtupped by fighters and create art that would make Michelangelo weep. None of them appears to have more than a lone synapse firing upstairs. This one is Arianny Celeste. She's the queen of the ring girls. Acc...
If You're Going To Break Your Nose, You Might As Well Break It Like This
This is Ryan McGillivray, a mixed martial artist who was on the last season of The Ultimate Fighter. To be more precise, this is Ryan McGillivray after taking a knee to his face in training. His new nose looks to be an inch off-kilter. The picture has been making the rounds on MMA blogs after McGill...
An Old Video Of A Dumb Ref Letting A Dazed Fighter Nearly Get Killed
A little gruesome, this one. Or a lot. It's a Brazilian vale tudo fight. That means "anything goes." And boy does it go, thanks to this blind fool of a referee. The video comes via Frank Shamrock, who calls it "really sad." Yes....
The Soulful Paintings Of Brittney Palmer, UFC Octagon Girl
This little lady is Brittney Palmer. She's the UFC's new octagon girl. Her job is to flounce about a cage in a bathing suit while intoxicated meatheads shower her with lustful stares and wolf whistles. It's a helluva job, and Palmer does it well. But she's much more than her profession! She's also a...
Awaiting the ESPYs, But (Still) Missing Norm MacDonald
It's the Wednesday after the MLB All-Star Game, which means if the Triple-A All-Star Game isn't your bag, your only other "sports" programming option for the evening is the ESPYs. Seth Meyers is hosting, but don't count on the gags to be nearly as subversive as some at the WWL will have you believe...
The Seth Meyers-Lynn Hoppes Pre-ESPYs Bro-Down Skewers ESPN
Last we checked in on Page 2's Lynn Hoppes, he was breathlessly name-dropping third-tier celebrities, en route to this whole thing. (Of note: ESPN has since pulled the offending Hoppes video from its YouTube account. Did Brock Lesnar's attorneys complain?) Hoppes is ESPN's expert in the macho-tinged...
The One Where We're Offered A Topless Photo Of Post-Coital Emma Watson At Brown

Watch Cheick Kongo's Absurd Knockout Of Pat Barry
Cheick Kongo has never lived up to the hype that attends a man who appears to have stepped from the pages of a comic book. But Kongo — who looks even more intimidating with that beard — showed some gameness last night after Pat Barry twice knocked him for a loop. Some people are calling this the gre...
Minnesota Twins Disrespect Lesbian Love And God's Law

Here, Watch Donald Brashear Beat Up A Fat Guy In His MMA Debut
Some fellow named Mathieu Bergeron decided to fight former NHL goon Donald Brashear—who is 15th all-time in penalty minutes, and now making his MMA debut—in Quebec City (au Colisée Pepsi) on Saturday night. Not a good call. Brashear scored a TKO in 21 seconds....
