Screw It, Today Is the Day We Pass 50,000 Fans on Facebook


(We’re also taking suggestions to replace our current cover photo. Got any ideas?)

Man, remember when hitting 10,000 Facebook fans was a huge deal for us? And oh how we celebrated when we doubled that number two years later. Such modest goals for a mid-level MMA blog just trying to find its place in the world. Then, Facebook.com/CagePotato started building steam and we blew past 30k and 40k like it was nothing. I’m sure this is fascinating to you.

It’s been a while since we’ve had to write a “Screw It” post asking for a few more likes, but business was slow last year, and we didn’t quite reach our goal of hitting 50,000 Facebook fans by the end of 2014. At this time of this writing, we’re just 28 fans away from achieving that milestone. So if you’re seeing this right now and you don’t already follow CagePotato on Facebook, please do so! We promise not to flood your timeline with crap. We only post like 3-4 updates per day, and they’re all either important news stories or amazing photos — things you wouldn’t want to miss, in other words.

So what do you say? Can you find it in your hearts to like your favorite “irreverent blog” today?

The 39 Most Incredible MMA Photos We Posted on Facebook This Year [GALLERY]

CagePotato isn’t just an outdated MMA blog featuring incredibly biased articles and a non-functional comment section. The truth is, CP is an online media empire, which includes our daily complaints and arguments on Twitter, MMA GIFs and videos on our Tumblr page, and the amazing/ridiculous photographs and memes we post on Facebook.

We spent all morning combing our Facebook photo gallery and hand-picked 39 of the most memorable images that we posted in 2013, which we’ve laid out below along with their original descriptions. Enjoy, and if you’re not following us yet, get with the damn program.


January 8th: Chael Sonnen before he was a superstar heel, and Jeff Monson before he was a walking art gallery. #oldschool #mma


January 9th: Photo of the day: Ed O’Neill chokes out Royce Gracie on the set of Modern Family.

Screw It, Today Is the Day We Pass 20,000 Fans on Facebook [UPDATED]


(CagePotato.com: Ruining the sport since 2007.)

UPDATE: And it is aaaaaaaall over! Thanks so much to all our fans. Here’s to 20,000 more!

On July 22nd, 2011 — exactly two years ago today — Facebook.com/CagePotato passed 10,000 fans. Sure, we were forced to do some begging in order to make it happen, but the point is, it happened, and it was a proud day for our site.

At the time of this writing, CagePotato’s Facebook page has 19,968 fans, just 32 bodies away from the 20k milestone.

So, here’s what we need: If you’re not already a fan of CP on Facebook, please head over there and “like” our page. We promise to not spam your timeline incessently. About 3-4 times per day, we post links to our best content, along with additional photos and videos that you won’t find on the site — or anywhere else, in some cases. It’ll take five seconds of your time, and it’s totally worth it. We can do this. I know we can.

And just to sweeten the deal: If we pass 20,000 fans today, three of our new followers will be randomly selected to receive CagePotato t-shirts. Sound good? Now let’s get it!
