Observations. Satire. Politics. Interviews.
Dana White was probably never destined to have hair. even if he had the flowing locks of Jennifer Anistion he would have it pulled out after the strange happenings in 2017. How many Main events have been wrecked at the last moment this year? In Particular how many PPV cards have been wrecked this year….
There are a lot of things that i like about the upcoming UFC 215 card in Alberta, Canada on September 9. First up it is an opportunity to see the ever busy flyweight champ Demetrius Johnson in action again. Always a joy. For me he is the undisputed best pound for pounder in the UFC….
I think a lot of things about Conor Mcgregor are hidden in plain sight. If you do a search of Mcgregor quotes you’ll find more than you bargained for but I’m going to focus on this tweet he put out in 2014 and why i think he may not be much longer in the fight…
The time for talk has finally, mercifully started to draw to a close. All the millions of videos, interviews, opinion pieces, images and words have brought us now to this crowded place. In the maelstrom of coverage ( has any sporting event in history generated more digital content?) we are now at that place of…
One of the most fascinating features of the Hoopla revolving around the Mayweather/ Mcgregor showdown has been the social media wars. Well actually that’s a mistake because Floyd Mayweather hasn’t got a clue when it comes to social media. Floyd has 1.5 million twitter followers MORE than Conor McGregor but here is an example of…
Let me lay my cards on the table. I do not think Conor McGregor is a racist. I do not have any empirical data to back this up other than a belief based on what i have seen and heard from the man via the media over the last 5 odd years. Indeed i believe…
A little over two weeks ago I posted what I thought was an inocuous enough facebook post. In it I asked a question and set off a shit-storm the like of which I have not seen before or since. The question…. Just how the hell did featherweight Anthony ‘ Prettyboy ‘ Taylor, last fight and…

Guest Blogger – Logan Winger UFC Glasgow was not without surprise, thanks to a couple of fights that took everyone by surprise and not just the fighters on the receiving end. Sunday’s event marked the second visit for the UFC to Glasgow, Scotland and thankfully this time there was some action for the fans to…
So the dust has finally settled on an unprecedented World Promotional tour for , I suppose, a most unprecedented fight. Bottom line both fighters entertained and took to their roles with gusto. They got the job done and the event sold. At it’s worst moments the whole show threatened to Jump over the cliff along…

The only let down with BAMMA30 last night in the 3 Arena was the main event – Philpott Vs Walsh. It brought a somewhat anti-climactic finish to what was an otherwise excellent card. If you haven’t already heard, the bout was ruled a no contest due to Philpott’s Illegal kick to Shay Walsh’s head while…
It’s often instructive when interviewing a fighter to start with their ring name. Often times it’s gimmicky and bears no resemblence to the man or their ring craft but in the case of Middleweight Fabian ‘The Assassin’ Edwards it bears up to the scrutiny thus far in his career. ‘ I take people out clean…

Some great insights on the fighters as well. There are certainly some Interesting Choices! Incidentally Andy…
