It's an article about the...

I think it all goes together. Rampage was the biggest name. There was no other major competition for viewers. It had a lot of NFL promotion beforehand. Be interested see what the next one does.

Rewatching it I thought it was a lot closer. Dodson easily won R1 and MM R4 &5. R1 & 3 were razor thin so if you gave those to Dodson you gave him the win. And if think a point should have been...

Respect for Matt, the 2nd best WW ever.. behind Denis Halman.

Rampage is a whiner and I've havent liked him since his 'post Forest "rampage" and Wandy cheap shot - but the UFC is easily getting the better end of the deal. Sure Rampage has made more than any of...

Closer to 14 or 15 months. Since he made just under a mil from the Gonzaga fight I don't think he could have made as much as was offered him during his holdout. Plus he would have had to beat Nog to...

I like calling it pro wrestling because they are talking almost exclusively about professional wrestlers and not the amateur game and because that way I can distinguish the promoters game from the...

Read these. It talks about how grappling and strangling used to be allowed in boxing (go back far enough and it was cudgels)
...

You don't think the $5 mil to show and $1 mil to win offer had anything to do with why Randy wanting that fight so badly?

I really liked Hewitt's 2 wrestling books. He even comments on some of Nash's posts. What I meant by Nash being the only one, is that while Shannon and Hewitt cover history their focus is very much...

Genki Sudo's eye-popping entrances.
Being excited to watch TUF and knowing each class would produce a couple of top fighters.
Pride. I really miss top level mma in a ring.
BJ Penn being the best...

JohnNash (or nottheface as he used to be known) is the only person I know writing this stuff - and doing it so well. Really wish there was a bigger audience for it because I find it fascinating and...

We had a discussion about pre UFC mma history awhile back. Now that I see that John Nash's Forgotten Golden Age of MMA, has been reposted, I thought I'd share it with those who are interested in...

I see it going down pretty much as the TS described.

Royce, Fedor, Silva, GSP.

If I didn't think Volkmann was going to take it I'd recommend Green come out with a "I Voted For Obama" button.

I think they should. Just make sure to give Silva the same courtesy he was giving GSP by booking it at a 195 lb catchweight

Wasn't being serious in my comments. Was actually joking based off the "rough-and-tumble" section of the article I linked to.

I don't care how much better modern fighters are in hand-to-hand fighting they're losing two out of the three rounds in swords and cudgels - badly. Also, why did "rough-and-tumble" or "gouging" have...

They must really want to put Faber back in the win collumn.

I don't see why GSP has to leave the division to fight Silva at, lets say 175 lb catchweight? GSP gaining 5 pounds isn't going to prevent him from fighting at 170 again, and 10 pounds is a huge cut...

After the interesting discussiong in the Nick Diaz bare knuckle boxing thread I thought I'd share this article that tells the pretty wild tale of how an 18th century boxer is responsible for MMA....

Why isn't Chris Horodecki given as an option?
