What is it about athletes and the nightlife? Something about the siren song of hedonism seems very difficult to resist for young men who find themselves famous, in elite physical shape and with perhaps a little extra change in their pockets. Your guess is as good as mine. But it continues unabated, and it goes […]

As 2014 winds down, and we look to what the future might hold in 2015 for mixed martial arts, the pack starts to thin in the race for “Fighter of the Year,” and so far it’s down to two men: Robbie Lawler and Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone. UFC champions have not been particularly active this year. […]
