Flight Fight Sports

It’s Google’s fault. I typed in “fight sports” and they asked, in that oh-so-superior voice, “Did you perhaps mean FLIGHT sports, Hon?” No, you morons. I might misspell Hervé Villechaize but I’ve GOT this one, thanks. Sheez. Anyway, I posted the error to Facebook, and suddenly a Flight Fight meme was born. Matt, the joker, [...]

Strikeforce is making some more headway in showcasing women’s MMA by scheduling Cris “Cyborg” Santos’s next fight for December 19th. The date is not yet confirmed, but Five Ounces of Pain reports that Cyborg’s husband Evangelista will also be making his 17o lb debut on the same card. Cris’s opponent won’t be Erin Toughill (who [...]

Roy Nelson Defeats Kimbo Slice

I’m new to MMA, and to look at these two fighters, I immediately picked Kimbo Slice — in all his big, cut, scary glory — as the potentially superior fighter to fat-bellied Roy Nelson. Nelson has skinny arms, less reach, more gut, and he just screams “redneck.” Of course Slice (whose real name is Kevin [...]

Christy Martin Breaks Hand, Wins Title

Thumbnail image for Christy Martin Breaks Hand, Wins Title

Last Saturday at Battle at the Expo 2 the announcer brought my trainer into the ring between fights to tell the world that Bonnie “Queen B” Mann planned to come out of retirement, and might be able to get a fight with three-time world title holder Christy Martin, whose record was 48-5-3 until this week. [...]

Cyborg Defeats Carano in First Round

The “Muy Thai Machine” and “Baddest Woman South of the Equator” Cris Cyborg Santos definitely earned her title in the single round she fought with reigning favorite Gina Carano. Cyborg is known as an explosive, powerful fighter with perhaps less technical control and ability than Carano, and this proved accurate in the Strikeforce fight. I [...]

Carano and Cyborg Weigh In on Target

Thumbnail image for Carano and Cyborg Weigh In on Target

Gina Carano and Cris Cyborg Santos stripped to their underwear and stepped onto the scales for a standing-room only crowd at the San Hose Marriot last night; Carano with an easy, almost embarassed smile and Cyborg with her customary scowl. Both fighters have been the cause of abundant speculation and buzz, having failed to make [...]

Fiiiight! Gina Carano and Cris Cyborg

This Saturday it happens. Gina “Conviction” Carano (7-0) and Cris “Cyborg” Santos (7-1) will become the first women in MMA history to headline a major MMA fight card. I don’t know if you watch boxing or MMA, but if you watch women’s sports at all this is going to be a groundbreaking event across the [...]

First (Unofficial) Match!

Thumbnail image for First (Unofficial) Match!

On Thursday I received a two-sentence email that made me shriek and caused at least one co-worker to check in on me. In two days, some women from Wilmington and Fayetteville were going to be getting some informal matches at a Raleigh gym, and I was invited. I was invited! I emailed my trainer, who [...]

Fight trading

My trainer and I have been busy hunting leads in order to find me a regional (ie, within a couple hours’ drive) fight. She really feels strongly that I may be investing too much time and money on a throw of the dice at this year’s Golden Gloves nationals. For example, what if there’s only [...]

Cat butt on my table

see more Lolcats and funny pictures I try to allow Lolcats to post their own funniez, but this one… sigh. This one is just so true. I blame it entirely on the four guys I live with, who don’t seem to mind cat butt in the same place where they calmly lay their PB&J’s. I [...]
