Few easy paths to linear titles (Yahoo! Sports)
MMA News on Yahoo! Sports &bull Yesterday
With all the different organizations in mixed martial arts boasting competing claims of who is No. 1, there is an old-fashioned way of determining who the real world champion is at each weight class.

The politics of MMA, in which the sport's biggest company, the UFC, doesn't work with other promotions, makes for a series of twists and turns in the claim for linear supremacy. The first true heavyweight MMA champion,… Full Story »

twitthis.com via @Bauzen &bull Sep 1, 2010I used to think the meaning of life was somewhere inside the cut Jose Benevidez left on Miguel Torres' forehead, but it turns out those were just Miguel's deepest thoughts about the perfect plate of carnitas after a warm bath.

Strikeforce Houston Aftermath
www.profighting-fans.com via @MMA_Updates &bull Aug 30, 2010Strikeforce Houston was like a bad retro party. When you're feeling nostalgic for the old MMA days, the best way to relive them is to watch past fights or find a Youtube video of Dan Severn's latest B-league dust-up (yes, he's still fighting). It's not to relive past mistakes. Featuring several of the negative hallmarks plaguing early MMA events, Strikeforce Houston delivered a lot of old-school infamy. There is no proper MMA sanctioning body in Texas. That meant no drug testing, which is extremely unsettling in a sport where dudes like Bobby Lashley feature pecs the size of mastodon steaks.… Full Story »
