UFC

Jon "Bones" Jones took home the UFC light heavyweight belt this weekend after defeating Chael Sonnen.  Jones didn't leave the octagon unscathed though, his big toe was flipped upside down.  Yes, completely upside down.  Jones didn't even notice the injury until he was being interviewed after the fight.

There are a lot of ways to impress UFC president and mastermind Dana White. The quickest way is to show it in the octagon. At UFC 149 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, newly minted UFC fighter Ryan Jimmo did just that.

We have talked many times here at the WGRD MMA Page about the growing minor organizations for mixed martial arts. The raging debate about hot chicks fighting each other has already taken place. One thing all of us mixed martial arts fans cannot deny, though, is the love of a good knockout.

A lot of times, combatants in the UFC show a lot of animosity towards each other (see: Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen) while others are respectful and stay level headed. While the fireworks may revolve around those high intensity explosions and tough talking, they don't always live up to the hype. So what would you say might happen if two of those "nice guys" were to happen to run into

Nobody ever tries to say dancing is easy. Dancing in front of a television and live audience is even more difficult. Add in the fact of being well over six feet tall and more than 200 pounds and, well, maybe some things just aren't meant for people of certain stature. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira should take note of that statement.

As the parent company of the UFC continues to buy smaller promotions and fighter's contracts, the roster can seem like a revolving door at some times. Unless you are a big name fighter, there may be a sense of insecurity with all the additions and subtractions. One sure fire way to not lose your job is to become an instant highlight reel, especially in a primetime scenario. Just like Justin Lawren

Mixed martial arts is known for its brutal knockouts and vicious finishes. Most of the time, they end with one fighter punching or kicking or choking his opponent until the referee has to physically remove him from his unconscious opponent. Except for one fighter.

There is no questioning what makes people love watching mixed martial arts. Athleticism, fist fighting, ring girls and the idea of two men entering and one leaving the victor are all reasons to tune in. Oh, and ring girls. Like all sports, though, it is the little things that keep people coming back for more...

During this expanded downtime with an extended break from major UFC or mixed martial arts action (thanks a lot, cancelled Canadian event!), we here at WGRD are looking back at our earliest and in some cases, most fond MMA memories. Today is a visit down memory lane that lands as one of the best submissions and comebacks in MMA history.

This layoff from the usually consistent barrage of pay-per-view UFC events has us here at WGRD looking to the future for what is to come in 2012. As it turns out, the wait for the next month may just be worth it for the year that is in store.

In bars across the country, drunk morons of all shapes and sizes are fully prepared to go round the outside with some strangers. It can be over a spilled beer or an innocent glance at a hot chick's ass. It can be a complete hallucination where your assailant mistakenly thinks you are the guy that called him Roger when his name is Troy-- the other day at that other bar...
