Rarely does the UFC put on a freak show fight, but this Saturday they’re going against the norm. For the first time in UFC history a world champion boxer, James Toney, will be taking on an MMA legend in Randy Couture.

In a strange way, this is the UFC getting back to it’s roots. Two [...]

I was choked out for the first time in Jiu-Jitsu this week. I’ve been asked a few times what it was like and what happened, so I suppose it makes an interesting story.

“Rolling” is what they call sparring in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Monday night, I was rolling with my instructor, George Yulee. He had been working [...]

Due to the Texas Hell Trip, this is in a bit late, but I don’t want to miss putting the picks in. This is a huge card and I’ve got to find a sports bar that will be showing it.

I won’t say much more, but judging by the trash talked in the press conference yesterday, [...]

Every year about this time, my Mom takes a trip to Texas to visit relatives and she drags along as much support as she can. Typically I resist the idea and I get met with “This could be the last time you see…”  Of course, that stopped working a long time ago when my Great [...]

I can’t count how many times people would come to the booth asking if the copies of Arsenic Lullaby or the T-shirts were free. The response was always the same.

“No, they’re better than free. They’re worth money.”

Typically we’d just get a look and they’d walk off. What they didn’t consider was we were right.

First, [...]

Most of the booths started the Con like this: Lay out a nice table cloth. Stack every single book, print and flier you’ve ever had printed into giant stacks. Set up a huge banner to draw attention. Rig up lights to highlight said banner. Sit on your ass and wait for the excited customers.

They [...]

Jonny “Bones” Jones is this event. He came into the UFC with an amazing amount of hype and has crushed everyone he’s been put up against. The only loss for Jones is due to a disqualification because, in his excited face smashing state, he connected with an illegal elbow that wasn’t even necessary to finishing [...]

I don’t know how to describe San Diego ComicCon other than madness.

The first thing I would tell you is that it isn’t just about comic books. It’s more of a multimedia expo. Movie studios were promoting their new titles next to video game developers. Television networks, toy makers, publishers, special effects artists, comic artists, borderline [...]

Now that I’ve had some time to relax, I’d like to share some thoughts on my experience with San Diego Comic Con and working with Arsenic Lullaby. Over the next few days, I’ll have a post about some aspect of my experience there. Today is just about the setting: San Diego.

I didn’t see much of [...]

Other than UFC predictions, I haven’t written much lately. Sorry. Most of my friends who read my blog tend to not care about MMA, so as far as they’re concerned, I haven’t been writing anything for a very long time.

I’ve had a lot of things on my mind, most of which are things that I [...]
