Poor Forrest. His last two fights have gone so poorly that the dude doesn’t even get his own walkout shirt.
This Silverstar tee is the one that Forrest will be wearing to the cage, but it’s not his personal shirt. It’s a just a generic shirt with a skull and flowers...

Tito Ortiz is one of the most noteworthy names in the fight game today. He’s a legend of the past, but has never been deemed as such because of his contract wars with UFC president Dana White. He was an ultimate fighter before being an ultimate fighter was cool, and he has to...

Thanks to Longtime Reader Lou (who was responsible for my seat upgrade a few weeks ago during that not-very-fun Sharks game at MSG), I got a ticket into the Garden of Dreams charity event last night at The Garden.

George Sotiropoulos v. Jason Dent
Love Sotiropoulos. He’s a huge lightweight with the kind of BJJ that can end fights quickly. He’s grown a lot as since his appearance on The Ultimate Fighter. He’s got three wins in the UFC but none of them are over anyone with a...

With the last loss that the Jets suffered, the season is pretty much over. In order to get to 10 wins, the team will have to win six of their final seven games. With a rookie quarterback, a rookie head coach, and a team that is seemingly snake bit, I don’t that it’s going...

Castillo is a member of Urijah Faber’s Team Alpha Male which means that I’m sure big brother pushed for a job for him in the WEC. He’s 3-1 in the WEC, and hasn’t lost since losing to Donald Cerrone at WEC 34. He’s an excellent...

I wasn’t outraged by the descion in Couture/Vera. I don’t think Vera got robbed like Shogun did. I think it’s clear Couture won Round 1 and Vera won Round 2. It’s the 3rd round that’s debatleable. Before I render my verdict I want to watch the...
