Loretta Hunt has a new piece out on the ongoing mystery surrounding Fedor’s return to the cage, and the first part of the headline is ‘Strikeforce, M-1 Deal Close‘. If you’re like me and observe reality on a consistent basis, you’re probably under the impression that Strikeforce and M-1 already have a multiple fight [...]
Aleksander “Outbreak Monkey” Emelianenko is one of those guys who like Chuck Liddel can throw some really accurate bombs.
Pride Bushido 4, fight starts at about 6:30
Yeah, stopping a fight for a broken hand is totally reasonable and all, but I can’t help but compare Bowles to guys like Urijah Faber, Joe Riggs, and Rich Franklin, who have all gutted broken hands out to the ends of their fights (and won, in the case of Riggs and Franklin). Simply put, Brian [...]
Man, I don’t think it’s possible to love a submission more without actually having sex with it. I loved how Scott Jorgensen caught Chad George’s neck coming in for a takedown, I loved it even more when he pushed him into the fence to increase the pressure, and then it was super mega love times [...]
For an industry that has a fuckload of blogs, there sure isn’t a lot of quality MMA opinion floating around. That’s why I like the Sunday Junkie: it’s the intelligent readers (I specify because their comments section can be dumber than a box of hair) sharing their thoughts in mini-blog format. This Sunday a lot [...]
One of the reasons submissions can be so nasty is you know when it gets down to the snap crackle pop of things, it’s gonna be a long road to recovery. Yesterday during Sengoku’s “We’re Still Alive!” show, Mizuto Hirota (the victim of Aoki’s ‘Keichi Sasahara 2010′ sub on NYE) gave up the promotion’s lightweight [...]
Jose Landi-Jons has been fightin’ round the world for years and the last fight I saw of him he fucked up he leg.
Why hello there! The post-op stitch job after the jump.

Yvel from way back in the day… strangely even though this happened in Russia the quality of video is better than the UFC.
M1 MFC, St. Petersburg, Russia, 1997
This should probably cement my position as worst MMA blogger in the universe, but for some reason I had it in my brain that the WEC event was going to be on Sunday night, not Saturday. So I spent my Saturday night fucking around on the xbox, only twigging at 1AM that those weigh-in articles [...]
I wanna do a full reach around rub n tug of Daniel Herbertson’s photography sooner or later, but for now you can check out his great Tumblr page.
With UFC Undisputed 2010 coming out in approximately three months, Gamestop is ramping up it’s pre-order promotion by slowly releasing the names of fighters you get if you order the title through them. Last year’s Gamespot characters were Ryan Bader and Efrain Escudero, which we had a good laugh about at the time (congrats to [...]
