You’d think that it might be tough to fill a daily post about the ins and outs of the MMA twitter world. After all, how much is there to say? When your job consists of beating another man into submission, it just doesn’t seem like much talk would be necessary.

Every time he goes to prison and leaves Twitter, it’s like we are all being punished. And that, friends, is likely Unconstitutional.

Meanwhile, while everyone else was talking, Ross Pearson was getting kneed in the face. Ouch.
