The World MMA Awards: Worst awards show EVER!
Wow. Just wow. I don’t even know where to start on this awards show. Everything from the set, to the host, to the writing, to the research was absolutely terrible. Now granted I’m sure that MMA in general doesn’t give a crap about award shows so the bar was most likely set pretty low. That [...]

10 Seasons of TUF in 500 words
TUF 1. Couture and Liddell in their prime kick off the first season of a new fight based reality TV show. Fighters went home when they lost. And there was some hot blond host that we never saw again for some odd reason. Dana asks us if we want to be f***ing fighters and we [...]
TUF 10: UFC’s biggest let down ever
It sucks when a good plan backfires on you. Especially when the backfire leaves you with less then what you started with or is worse than what you thought the worst case scenario was. Like anything else the UFC is not perfect. They have had a fair share of ideas that have bitten them in [...]
