A proud sponsor of fighters ranging from Frankie Edgar to Rose Namajunas, the apparel company Fear The Fighter is more than just an MMA outfitter. Their designs include tributes to countries, heroic professions, important causes, and lacrosse, of all damn things.

Still, combat is at the heart of what Fear the Fighter does, and they recently released a line of shirts based on MMA’s component arts: Brazilian jiu-jitsu, wrestling, Muay Thai, boxing, Judo, Sambo, Karate, and much more. And starting today, we’re going to give away one of these shirts every week.

After the jump, you’ll find a picture of UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis with two of his homeboys. Submit a clever photo-caption to the comments section of this post by Thursday night at midnight PT. We’ll select one winner on Friday, who will receive a Combat Line shirt of his/her choice. Simple as that. Any questions, let us know in the comments section. Good luck.

Chael Sonnen ‘Voice of Reason’ Caption Contest: The Winners!


(These voices, these voices, I hear them, and when they talk I follow, I follow, I follow…”)

Nothing like a good caption contest to remind us what a funny bunch of sons-of-bitches y’all are. After sifting through nearly 200 submissions, we’ve selected the two winners who will be receiving copies of Chael Sonnen‘s new life-manual, The Voice of Reason: A V.I.P. Pass to Enlightenment a month before it goes on sale to the general public. But first, some runners-up…

LOKI: Chael struggled to hold back the guilt in his face; he never realized that wishing cancer on Ed Soares would actually work.

tdpwent: Chael and random guy #2 show what a certain brazilian BJJ expert will be doing every night after his failed pick-up attempt.

mcw89138: Chael and Ronda drove 2,000 miles to an undisclosed Starbucks to see for themselves the Internet freak and phenomenon known as “perfect circle head” guy.

BigBalluh: The new season of Two and a Half Men is gonna suck.

Kid Clam Curtains: Not pictured: The knee-high rubber boots they’re wearing for all the bullshit.

Kid Clam Curtains: Not pictured: The knee-high rubber boots they’re wearing for all the bullshit.

kochersam: Ronda and Chael both pose with the man-creature they created using the excess testosterone found in their bodies.

Slack Brian: In what parallel universe can you punch a man 300 times, he holds up a fist like a douche for eight seconds and Rousey lets him graze her boob?!

HabitualLineStepper: Chael becomes the latest MMA fighter to sign on to do a low-budget film with C-list actors. Here he poses with his co-stars Julia Stiles and a grown-up Bud from Married with Children.

Goat: This is me. I’m not joking. It’s me. I made that thread. I remember that day clearly. I was sitting in Starbucks, chilling the fuck out, listening to some Megaman 2 music, when I looked up, and there he was – Chael fuckin’ Sonnen. Eventually, I summed up the courage to ask him, and I said “You’re Chael Sonnen, the middle-weight champion of the world?” And he nodded. And it was bliss. I was so drunken with Chael’s uber-aura that I didn’t notice the beautiful and dangerous Ronda Rousey right next to him. We got some photos, had some laughs, and I went back to listening to my rad-ass 8-Bit music. Anyways – it was a great moment! I’m glad people are having fun with it.
PS: CP nation, my name’s not Brad.
PPS: No threesome occurred.
PPPS: Please give me a copy of Chael’s awesome DVD [Ed. note: It’s a book, Brad.]
Here is some more evidence that I am the man in the photo.

And now, the winners…

PorkandBeans: What Stephen Hawking looked like prior to telling Chael and Ronda they weren’t actually the center of the universe.

c2844: Wow. Chael Sonnen and Ronda Rousey in the same photo…and nobody is in an armbar? Amazing!

So, Pork and C-numbers, please send your real names and addresses to [email protected], and we’ll get those books sent out to you next week. Thanks to everybody who played, and to Victory Belt for hooking us up. Now go buy Chael’s book!

Caption Contest: Win an Advance Copy of Chael Sonnen’s New Book ‘The Voice of Reason’!

Last month, we warned you that Chael Sonnen will soon be dominating your local bookstore, having already conquered the worlds of professional fighting, politics, and athletic commission hearings. His new book is called The Voice of Reason: A V.I.P. Pass to Enlightenment, and will be available to the general public on May 15th. Amazon.com describes the content in these humble terms:

Sonnen’s commentary and tales of heroic adventure will initiate you into the world of superhuman greatness. Allow him to carry you like a frail damsel through the world of professional mixed martial arts as he cuts weight, deals with moronic cornermen, expresses his disdain for focus mitts and punching in general, gets his face rearranged, and finds support and encouragement from fans. Permit him to cleanse your mind’s palate and teach you the truth about history, politics, endangered species, cinema, terrorists, music, particle accelerators, and his plans for creating a Chaelocracy, which translates as “a Better Earth.” Shower him with praise as he takes you into his manly mitts like a lump of clay and reshapes you in his own likeness. 

Like all men of myth and legend, Sonnen strives for the betterment of the human race. Prometheus brought us fire; Dana White brought us the modern-day gladiator; and Chael P. Sonnen now brings us the step-by-step guide to being a great human being and patriot…There is no better day to stop being you and start trying to be Chael P. Sonnen.

So…who wants to get a copy a month before it comes out?

‘Straw Dogs’ Caption Contest: The Head-Gash Hall of Fame Gets a New Member


(Props: UFC.com)

From Big Nog’s arm to Tito’s ribs, UFC 140 gave us more than its share of brutal moments. In case you forget what a nasty business this sport can be sometimes, take a look at the above post-fight photo of Lyoto Machida, who got split open, choked asleep, then unceremoniously dropped onto the canvas by Jon Jones. Enjoy your new scar, buddy. This guy knows what I’m talking about.

Your mission: Come up with a clever caption to the photo above, and submit it to the comments section below. We’ll pick a winner on Thursday who will receive a copy of Straw Dogs, which comes out on DVD and Blu-ray next week, and makes a perfect holiday gift, as long as you’re giving it to somebody who appreciates over-the-top violence. On second thought, you may just want to keep it for yourself…
