Leaked Memo: Bleacher Report's Top Eight Ways To Not Piss Off The UFC
A tipster passes along the following email sent around to Bleacher Report's MMA writers last year. It was written by Jeremy Botter, a lead MMA writer for B/R who also covers the fights for the Houston Chronicle. There is some good advice here (don't publish random bullshit!) and some weird advice he...
Ronda Rousey Ranted At "Twitter Bitches" For The Silliest Of Reasons
Armbar specialist Ronda Rousey caught some attention Thursday for wondering out loud about retirement. She says she "realistically" has two years left in fighting, and started thinking about her future after coming very close to losing to Liz Carmouche in February. Now, Rousey's angry about how peop...
In Lieu Of UFC Highlights, Embarrassing Videos Of A UFC Executive VP
The UFC, a leading mixed martial arts promotion, has an exciting pay-per-view card scheduled tonight, on which fighters will surely demonstrate beautiful artistry and competitive spirit. We would like to show you brief clips or .gifs of the exciting action, which would perhaps encourage you to buy f...
Fox Sports Pundit To Fan: “Speak English, I Don't Speak Ghetto”
As previously noted here, Fox Sports pundit/middling professional fighter Chael Sonnen is an asshole who does all sorts of things that one has a hard time imagining, say, fellow Fox Sports pundits Terry Bradshaw or Tim McCarver getting away with. There even seems to be a pattern to these things! He...
Anderson Silva, The UFC's Troll King, Wins Again
Anderson Silva is a genius, the best fighter in the history of mixed martial arts. It’s tempting to compare him to more familiar athletes in more familiar sports, if just to give some fixed point of reference, but that would diminish him. He’s strange and unique and deserves to be thought of that wa...
UFC Fighter Uses Homophobic Slur, Manager Offers Moronic Defense
Yesterday, UFC fighter Nate Diaz took to his Twitter account to voice the following opinion:...
Meet Fred Ettish, The Folk Hero Of UFC 2
Saturday's UFC card featured one helluva beatdown: Jon "Bones" Jones turned Chael Sonnen into a bloody mess. But at least Sonnen was ready for what eventually hit him....
Chael Sonnen, The UFC's Skip Bayless, Race-Baits His Way To The Top
Chael Sonnen is a well-known asshole, less a person than the remnant of a figure crossed out of a bad novel's first draft for being too obviously representative. At 36, he's a convicted money launderer, state-chastised steroid user, failed Republican candidate for the Oregon House of Representative...
Nick Diaz Doesn't Pay His Taxes, Is A Crazy Person
Nick Diaz was soundly beaten by Georges St-Pierre in UFC-158 Saturday night. When it was over, someone apparently gave him his hat and he just started talking....
This Fantastic Photo Captures The Moment A UFC Fighter Breaks His Opponent's Jaw
Mark Hunt knocked out Stefan Struve at 1:44 in the third round of yesterday's UFC event in Japan, but he didn't just knock him out. The left hook knocked out a tooth, and as Struve would later discover, broke his jaw....
Watch This Short UFC Fighter Beat The Living Shit Out Of This Huge UFC Fighter
Last night, 5'10 heavyweight UFC fighter Mark Hunt (9-7) took on seven-foot Dutchman Stefan Struve (29-6). Most casual spectators and diehards alike probably assumed that the larger, leaner Struve would beat Hunt, and maybe even make short work of the podgy kickboxer, because that's how fighting usu...
UFC Fighter Justin "The Viking" Wren Went To Eastern Congo And All The Kids Loved His Arm Hair
This video is a few months old, but it's making the internet rounds today, and it is adorable enough that we're going to share it with you. Justin "The Viking" Wren, a former UFC fighter and a graduate of The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights, is also a Christian "advocate." Here he is on a mission t...
Ronda Rousey, Bro Queen: Why Is The UFC So Stupid About Women?
The UFC would like very much for you to care about its women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, and you probably should. She is, beyond being quite good at hurting people, nothing short of fascinating. There really is no other explanation for how a once-anonymous Olympic judoka, who then transiti...
UFC On Fox 6: What Do MMA Fans Have Against The Little Guys?
One of the best things about fighting today is that it's fairly free of bullshit. The sport is beneath the notice of the big-time mythmakers, and its own media hustlers are too inept for their godding up to have any real effect, so a fight is rarely about anything so simple as redemption or salvatio...
UFC 155: The Clumsy Marketing Of Cain Velasquez, UFC's Brown Ambassador
For a long time, Cain Velasquez, who will fight Junior Dos Santos for the UFC heavyweight title on Saturday, was a rumor. He trained in one of the world's best camps, in San Jose, Calif., and stories would filter out about his freak inexhaustibility, about how he would spar with good stand-up fighte...
The Sports Video Games Of The Year
Rarely considered for overall video-game-of-the-year honors, the uncommon diversity of sports video games, and the unique demands placed on them to recreate both a real-world sport and the real-life experiences associated with it, support their own class of awards more than any other genre. These ar...
Here's How Fox Avoided A Fine From The FCC Last Night When Nate Diaz Flipped Off Benson Henderson
This isn't the first time Nate Diaz has flipped off an opponent in the middle of a match, nor the first time he's shown his propensity for flipping people off—that's what Nate and his brother Nick do. Those guys just love flipping the bird. Nonetheless, Fox was caught off-guard, unless the conting...
