On December 10th, 1995 my parents and I had just sat down to watch Dumb & Dumber on VHS. Before we could hit play the phone rang.
My dad was suffering from Hepatitis C and needed a new liver. They had given him 6 months to live and he was very much near the end of that window.…

I was trying to think what the litmus test is to gauge how hardcore of an MMA fan someone might be. Today I’ve settled on if you know what “playing touch butt in the park” is, you might be a hardcore.

My MMA mission going forward in life is to try and get the powers that be to reconsider the rule that prevents kneeing the head of a grounded opponent.
Why is this illegal in the modern era?

I am not sure if Smith was injured by the illegal blow but if Herb thought he was this is why he took two points: 2. If an intentional foul causes injury and the bout continues, the referee shall notify the authorities and deduct two points from the fighter who caused the foul.

Life doesn’t track your accomplishments. You have to celebrate things you value. Tomorrow’s

I also call live fights & grappling events.

In case you needed a clarification about MMA rules. You're not allowed to ask or be granted a timeout for an eye poke or a clean punch to the eye at any time. Except for when you do and it's granted.... Then it's completely legal.
