I hated Chael Sonnen at first. I was one of those UFC fans who made the transition from the WWE, so his “heel wrestler” schitck wasn’t doing it for me. But little by little, the more I read about him and the more I watched him fight, I found myself becoming a fan. After reading … Continue reading
“Rock ‘n’ roll is an attitude, it’s not a musical form of a strict sort. It’s a way of doing things, of approaching things. Writing can be rock ‘n’ roll, or a movie can be rock ‘n’ roll. It’s a way of living your life.” – Lester Bangs “Conservatism too.” – John Brodigan Tonight on … Continue reading

Wow, and I hadn’t had a good #headdesk today. I had mentioned a few months ago that Zuffa (parent company for the UFC) is suing the state of New York to get the ban on mixed martial arts overturned on constitutional grounds. At first read, it seems like a frivolous lawsuit, which the Attorney General’s … Continue reading
This was the one fight where more than a few people were expecting an upset, but Rashad Evans dominated Phil Davis all five rounds.
