Earlier this week we showed you the business end of MMA, with our countdown of the Top 50 MMA Dominations (click here if you missed it). Now it’s time for the pleasure!
You know most of these dudes have taken major L’s in the cage. So what do you do after you get your ass handed to you? Well, luckily for some of these guys, after they take that ass-whooping, they have someone to make them feel (slightly) better. Turns out MMA fighters happen to have some really hot WAGS to go home to. Kinda makes you want to become a MMA fighter, right? Well, check a few of the hottest ones below…
You know what’s fun? Watching other people getting their ass kicked. Real talk—we ain’t proud of it, but it’s true—why else do you think a crowd gathers every time there’s a brawl? Somehow we doubt it’s ’cause they want to be the first to administer first aid. So when it came time for us to eff around and kill (OK, maybe just maim) a little time, we thought, What better way to do it than watch some no holds barred fighting action—no, not high school girls soccer, Mixed Martial Arts.
We don’t really know a rear naked choke from an armbar, so we got Ben Goldstein of CagePotato.com to give us a list of his favorite takedowns, and voila—50 of the Bloodiest, Gruesomest, Limb-Twistingest MMA Dominations of All Time. Enjoy, and if you get too hyped up, remember to count to ten and never, ever punch your sister…

Recently, a Japanese nunchaku master took things one step further by showing some real-world applications of his beloved fighting sticks. Down at his local batting cage, he took a crack at knocking baseballs out of the park, substituting his nunchucks for a bat. To celebrate his success, he also used the weapon to pop open a bottle of champagne. Watch the whole thing below…
Kimbo Slice, a.k.a. Kevin Ferguson, hit the mixed martial arts scene last November when he destroyed Bo Cantrell. It took Slice 19 seconds to score his first pro victory and elevate himself from Internet pit fighter to professional athlete. Now it appears he has elevated the entire sport into the mainstream.
This past Saturday night, internet brawling sensation turned MMA superstar Kimbo Slice gave fellow striker Tank Abbot quite the beating. Looks like all that training paid off pretty well. With the crowd feverishly chanting his name, Kimbo came out swinging and knocked Tank Abbot down to the canvas within the first 30 seconds of the first round. Then a few moments later came the devastating punch that TKO’d Abbot for good.
Here’s a great clip teasing up the event that violence-seeking MMA fans have been anxiously waiting for: the February 16 EliteXC battle between backyard street brawling internet sensation Kimbo Slice and former pro wrestler Tank Abbot. Bill Goldberg took a look at Kimbo’s training routine to see the progress in turning the notorious striker into an all around mixed martial artist for his debut fight.
