As many of you know, social networking has been taking the world by storm.  Sites like facebook and twitter have millions upon millions of users.  What I really love about twitter is the instant connection you can gain with mixed martial arts fighters and personalities.  Twitter gives you access to the thoughts and occasional ramblings of fighters, and the ability to interact with them. But obviously, an even cooler thing is the ability to post links to blogs, articles, pictures and videos.  With how important this new social network has become, I felt it would be a cool idea to…

Well, months back I explained my disdain for the new British Dragon and how I fully believe it will not stand up to the original. I was contacted by one of my advertiser”s World-Pharm, and they said they will be carrying this . So I explained this changes NOTHING!!!! But they are very excited about the product they are going to carry , so they said that I will be the first to get samples when they get it in. They are so behind this new product, they are willing to do so knowing a few things: 1. I LOVED…

I wanted to announce this ahead of time , we are working on setting up a chat attached to my blog where we can have weekly discussions on different topics, maybe have special guests on a regular occasion. I wanted to get some feed back from my readers on what would they like to see discussed and possibly who they would like join us. The discussion would be open to anyone who would like to but obviously there would be a maximum amount of people. Please contact me at [email protected] with any interest to be involved and any topics you…

I’ve spent a lot of time praising the WEC for their fantastic shows they put on.  Their fighters really know how to bring it, and they are always matching up the best against the best.  Never has that been more true than tomorrow night when former featherweight champ Urijah Faber takes on current champ Jose Aldo in Sacramento.  While the UFC and Strikeforce are coming off back to back disappointing shows, the WEC is on a 47 event winning streak.  These guys care so much about their sport and they put so much effort into their performance that I don’t…

I know, it looks crazy.  When I see someone running barefoot, my first thought is “fugitive”.   However, that perception is changing, as running barefoot has become the “in” thing to do. Stronger feet, fewer injuries, no blisters, and saving money all sound like pretty great reasons to give it a try.  Healing my knees and hips are also high priorities and barefoot running, as counterintuitive as it seems, claims to fit the bill. I’d never considered until I read about foot biomechanics that the joints serve alternating functions to keep the entire body safe and stable during movement.  It makes…

Some folks from the University of Connecticut hypothesized one day that an egg-based breakfast would help control appetite throughout the day better than a bagel-based breakfast. Scientists being scientists decided to test this theory in twenty-one men to see if they were right. The egg breakfast was made up of just over half fat, and the bagel breakfast was about three-quarters carbohydrate. The satiating effect of fat is fairly well known, and the researchers figured that starting the day with a higher fat intake would reduce the number of calories taken in over the rest of the day. To assess…

The Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be fined for the behavior of Santonio Holmes and Ben Roethlisberger.  They’ve already unloaded Holmes and now reports are surfacing that they have discussed trading Big Ben. As much as we want to say that the Steelers are a “gold standard” for organizational leadership, they must have a line they cannot cross.  I believe they are dangerously close to that line. They can make an example out of Big Ben and end up making an example out themselves.  I want to take you on a journey from a conversation with my Dad, to “Chappelle’s…

The most difficult cleanse for newbies is the juice fast.  It requires a great deal of preparation and produce, as well as specialized equipment.  Juicers are an investment, and you want to be sure that you’re getting the most for your money within your price range. It doesn’t help that on Amazon.com, all three juicers I’ll review today have the exact same rating of four out of five stars.  Given that they’re all so different, they couldn’t be equally effective in all areas! However, juice fasting is the best way to give your digestive system a chance to heal and…

Hopefully not overshadowed by the NBA playoffs, baseball and the NFL draft, Bellator is having their 3rd event tonight starting at 8 pm live on FSN around the US.  The stars did not align tonight for me, so I won’t be able to view the event live.  I’ll most likely have to wait until the Cincinnati Reds game is over.  So, technically, this blog won’t be live but I’ll do my best once the show gets rolling and I do plan on participating in the post-fight press conference afterwards.  Stick with this post throughout the night as I’ll be updating…

Ok, well I’m sure most people affiliated with mixed martial arts already know about what happened last Saturday night.  Strikeforce: Nashville took place and it ended up being a ratings disaster.  More than that, it left a black eye on the entire sport of MMA when the event was over and Jason Miller was beat down live on national television.  Now Strikeforce is not entirely to blame, there were a lot of problems leading up to the event that factored in.  I decided to comprise a list of them all. The event was not casual fan friendly – Most people…
