There’s Only One Ricky Hatton

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

I touched on this last week but the reason I love the current edition of HBO's 24/7 so much is because the differences between Ricky Hatton and Floyd Mayweather are so vast its almost comical. Sure, Oscar De La Hoya is no Pretty Boy Floyd but there's no denying that ...

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

The worst kept secret in professional wrestling - six-time Heavyweight champion, Booker T, signing with TNA - proved to be correct last month. Since signing with TNA, Booker has repeatedly said that he was unhappy with the current direction of his former employer World Wrestling Entertainment. In fact, after his ...

Monday, November 26th, 2007

I spoke to former UFC fighter Sam Hoger earlier today and instead of writing some fluffy intro on him I thought I would just give you a taste of some of his interesting quotes. "I see Forrest (Griffin) every time I go to Vegas...He's still a turd. Now, that's a fight ...

“Matt Serra’s A Great Guy…I Don’t Hold Anything Against Him”

Monday, November 26th, 2007

This past week's episode of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Hughes vs. Team Serra was one of the more controversial ones ever as Head Coach Matt Serra refused to corner against two of his fighters. In case you missed it, problems arose when four of Serra's fighters (Matt Arroyo, George Sotiropoulos, Troy ...

The Haitian Sensation

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

It's been a while since I called the great city of Montreal my home but that doesn't mean I still don't hold a soft spot in my heart for all things Quebec (just look at the name of this blog for further proof). So, needless to say, when I was offered ...

Just Call Him Mr. Gogoplata

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

When it comes to submissions maneuvers, the gogoplata is as rare as gets. It's safe to say that you are more likely to see a triple play executed in a baseball game than a gogoplata in an MMA match. So, you can imagine the shockwaves Heavyweight Brad Imes sent when he ...
