Insomnia

Former UFC fighter Jason “Mayhem” Miller has been acquitted of multiple felony charges involving domestic violence against his then-girlfriend, Anna Stabile. He issued this bizarre statement when the news broke. The latest report, from LowkickMMA.com, states that Miller’s defense included alleging that Stabile, who is also a professional MMA fighter, was the one that attacked him. He said she attempted to hit him with a choke he taught her that didn’t work because, according to him, “her legwork was sloppy”. Whatever he said must have worked on the jury, who acquitted him on all charges. He also revealed details of their kinky relationship, which apparently included threesomes, choking, and golden showers. Eat your heart out, Trump.

Bobs and Weaves

So, Gegard Mousasi, who may not get to compete at UFC 210 due to Trump’s “Muslim ban”, said in October he would vote for Trump because it would be “fun”. It seems he has since changed his tune.

Masvidal calls out Maia, referencing his 200,000 dollar bet with Dana White that he can’t find a welterweight on the planet to beat him.

Cody Garbrandt meeting with UFC executive Ari Emmanuel

Is the UFC losing three ranked fighters to free agency?

Travis Browne said he isn’t leaving abysmal coach Edmond Tarverdyan, counter to rumors I published:

Derrick Lewis, ladies and gentlemen

Haha, jokes. Love ‘em.

Idris Elba’s kickboxing bout looked pretty intense for an actor’s journey into the martial arts:

Slips, Rips and KO Clips

I’ve seen plenty of leanbacks in Muay Thai but this is on a new level.

Justin Gaethje is awesome.

Bump, set, SPIKE

King Mo does not play with his entrances. This is reminiscent of Apollo Creed’s entrance in Rocky III.

I mean…

Nice submission

Watch this guy go to sleep standing up:

Ain’t no fight like a Nick Diaz fight.

Is this a dog or a bear? Either way, I don’t want any part of this.

He made this look incredibly easy.

This, on the other hand, looks incredibly painful.

Quick Hits

• Dana White says there is no way Ortiz-Sonnen was fixed– even though he wishes he could shit on Bellator.
• Conor McGregor spares no one- not even Georges St. Pierre, who he called “fake” for backing the MMAAA.
• Those Game of Thrones rumors we covered a few months back? McGregor himself shot them down- he’s a fighter, not an actor, apparently. So that would explain how he IS a half-decent actor who takes roles riding horses.

Happy Black History Month- if you ever try to start a fight and this happens, maybe hit the gym for a year or three.
