    Aspiring fighters should have to watch the Smashing Machine

    I don't think there is a better documentary about the realities of MMA than the smashing machine. Alot of films gloss over the negative aspects, framing everything as inspirational but the Smashing Machine shows how poor life choices can have you collapse from the top of the food chain, all the...

    Is there an accurate, up-to-date list of which gyms fighters train out of?

    Because Sherdog and Tapology, useful as they are, are very much not up-to-date. Wikipedia is barely any better. Even a list that only had UFC fighters would be very helpful, if anyone knows where I can find a list like that.

    Who are the best (or your favorite) UFC fighters who will never wear gold?

    Figured this would be a fun discussion. There are always those fighters who show signs of brilliance, but just can't get over the hump when it comes to title contention. They have great wins on their resumes, are easy to root for, but just can't reach the promise land. My list would include...

    How often does Dana take female fighters to dinner?

    Also since I'm assuming a lot of you don't know who Katharina is she's an Invicta vet coming off a recent title fight loss to Sarah Kaufman and is a member of TUF 28

    Walk out music you want fighters to use

    Somehow, Israel Adesanya's Instagram became site of childish Dana White-Brendan Schaub battle

    Remember when UFC President Dana White went on the “UFC Unfiltered” podcast and said he didn’t know anything about Leslie Smith’s labor complaint against the UFC because, as he put it, “I’m at a point in my life where I don’t focus on that (expletive) anymore. … I get to do all the fun...

    Top 10 Fighters to never win a UFC/Pride/Strikeforce/WEC/Bellator/Shooto/RINGS/Pancrase/Dream belt

    Alright folks, I don't feel like working (I scrub toilets at the local KFC) and with DC's win igniting a new debate about P4P, I thought it was time to re-assess an important point of debate in MMA history - the GOATS of the sport that never held a major strap. There is some important caveats...

    Bring back WWE-style entrances and the ramp - this is actually important

    Now before some of you geriatric 'purist' fanooks get all angry and break a hip, let's state some uncomfortable truths. 1. MMA is already mostly a pro-wrestling operation. From Chael to Conor back to Sakuraba to Lesnar to CM Punk - if you deny this, you are simply an idiot. Slap yourself for...

    Which Fighters Would You Like to See Open a Restaurant?

    So, for 'ol times sake, I was looking through Yelp reviews and forum posts re: Johny Hendricks' failed "Bigg Riggs' Steakhouse" venture. So I thought: which MMA fighters could actually pull off owning a restaurant, and what would they sell? I'll start: I actually think Chad Mendes could...

    FIGHTERS WHO NEVER TAPPED

    I'm not saying that by tapping, it makes you less of a man. Hell, I don't even fight and I think you deserve all the respect in the world if you actually stepped foot in the cage or a ring, amateur or pro, I think the world of that person because they're a fucking warrior. But even in the...
