This BE/MMA Fighting partnership is fantastic. I can’t get enough coverage. So many awesome writers under the SBN banner, then you have MMA Fighting’s E Casey Leydon and Esther Lin who are both fantastic at what they do.

Yeah, I’m a tad drunk. At least I’m a happy drunk. I live this partnership. So many great writers to read under one general roof.

Listen, man

Who are you to presume what ‘God’ cares about? What do you know? He might love sports where people slam into each other for a minute total until the refs can stop play and give advertisers a sufficient amount of advertising time to explain that, yes, Bud is great, and if you drink our beer some fit girls will paint letters on their fit stomachs and probably, maybe, get drunk enough to go home with you?

The vanity of your post is unbelievable. Who do you think you are? Do you presume to know what God loves? Do you presume to understand that Tebow runs on grass for Mary herself?

In an attempt at some kind of real 'duscussion,' I'll argue

the weigh-in pictures seem to demonstrates the natural differences between fighters in a particular weight class. I don’t presume to be a biologist, but Diaz’s bone mass appears larger, and more emaciated, when he cuts to the welterweight limit.
