Horrible Photoshops, Love Children, Cosplaying, and Gabe Gonzaga on a Donkey: Highlights from the CagePotato Tumblr


(Joe Rogan is intrigued by our Tumblr. / Screencap via @3amMMA)

The CagePotato tumblr has surpassed over 650 followers! We figured it has been a while since we shared some of our Tumblr highlights with the vast majority of the Potato Nation, so that’s why we’re making this post. We’ve got some interesting stuff to share with you guys—and it’s all SFW (though there are no Al Bundy GIFs, sorry):

-This is an oldie but a goody: Someone once made an MMA-tabloid complete with ridiculous stories like Ariel Helwani having a lovechild with Arianny Celeste. Funny stuff.

-For some reason, the UFC tried to photoshop Anderson Silva‘s shorts and it looks like shit. Really, it looks like a 5th grader was screwing around with MS paint.

-Tristar hinted at a GSP return. Hmm.

-An awesome traditional martial arts fail—a different one than we posted earlier today.

–Cain Velasquez, Ryan Bader, CB Dolloway, and Aaron Simpson as young ASU wrestlers.

–Your worst nightmare.

–Eddie Alvarez doing parenting right.

-A titanic, earth-shaking sumo body slam.

-Armani is trying to get involved in the MMA game with a shitty, generic sweatshirt. I’d rather wear affliction…

-Remember Ronda Rousey‘s awkward spot on FOX NFL a few weeks ago? The one that had families asking more questions about her wardrobe than about the fight? So do we.

Check out a sick wrestling takedown, Jackie Chan in drag, and more after the jump.

-Jackie Chan dressed as Chun Li from Street Fighter. We’re not kidding.

-One of the sickest takedowns you will ever see in wrestling.

-Some of MMA’s most hilarious, well-timed screen captures.

-Has Brittney Palmer gotten lots of plastic surgery or has the lighting for every single UFC event just changed?

-We HATE comparing middling MMA fighters to legendary boxers, but Tyron Woodley vs. Josh Koscheck really does look like Muhammad Ali vs. Sonny Liston.

-There exists a video of every single awkward moment and broadcasting fail from UFC 2. Even back then, Brian Kilmeade was the worst…

–Dana White looking like a dude out of The Empire Strikes Back.

-The most important one on this list: Why women should learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

-To end things on a lighthearted note, here’s Gabriel Gonzaga riding a donkey.

Sexy Miesha Tate GIFs, Old-School Nick Diaz Photos, And More Highlights From the CagePotato Tumblr


(Hey, is that a Timex?)

We’re celebrating something special today, Potato Nation: CagePotato’s Tumblr has surpassed 100 followers!

We’re very grateful that our fans and many members of Tumblr’s MMA community have followed us. If you haven’t yet, here are some of the highlights from our first few weeks that you missed — and that you’ll still be missing on a regular basis until you follow us right here.

– To start off, we have an excellent GIF set of Miesha Tate from this season of TUF. This, for obvious reasons, is our most successful post to date.

– There exists a statue of one kid armbarring another kid. It’s in Germany although I’d have expected something like that to be in Brazil instead (or even Japan because of their Judo connection).

– World champions Renan Barao and Jose Aldo in a sparring match. They’re likely not going 100%, but it’s still pretty cool to watch.

See what Conor McGregor was doing with his money, as well as some sick, old-school UFC artwork after the jump.

– Legendary video maker NickTheFace made an unbelievable trailer for UFC 168: Weidman vs. Silva 2 that puts the UFC’s recent video efforts to shame.

– Another fan-made piece of UFC 168 content, this time a poster, dwarfed the UFC’s official efforts. The poster was made by Dan Goland. The same artist made a truly epic poster for UFC 166. Yeah, “epic” gets thrown around a lot but the poster he made captures the gravity of Junior Dos Santos vs. Cain Velasquez III.

– Conor McGregor shows off how much cash he has in his wallet. I think this is what he was using all that money for.

– Various members of the UG photoshopped the picture of Joe Rogan in Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s Cossack hat. We put together some of the better ones from the original thread.

– This is what Nick Diaz was doing instead of going to school so he could learn to buy houses.

– Remember that photo from UFC Magazine featuring Dana White mean-mugging as if he were a real fighter? So do we.

– Artist Chris Rini made woodwork pictures of the bout between Royce Gracie and Kimo Leopoldo at UFC 3. These are amazing. If you’re an MMA fan with loads of disposable income, pick these up.

Those are just a few of the highlights from CagePotato’s nascent tumbls, or tumblerings, or what have you. Thanks to all our readers that follow us, and a pox on all of our readers who don’t!

PSA: Follow the CagePotatoMMA Tumblr Page for Even More of What You Love


(The Potato Empire continues its virus-like expansion. None shall be spared.)

Hey Potato Nation!

We have an announcement to make: CagePotato has its own Tumblr page now! On our new Tumblr, we’ll be sharing the MMA news and opinions you know and love, kick-ass MMA videos from the very depths of the Internet, our frequently snarky but never unjustified commentary, and maybe we’ll even be re-blogging a few things while we’re at it.

Fun fact: Tumblr and CagePotato were founded in the same year. Who knows, maybe yahoo CEO Marisa Mayer is eyeing CagePotato right now, ready to swoop in with a billion-dollar acquisition. We can dream, right?

Anyway, our Tumblr page is going to be a place where we share the content that’s a little too much for Twitter but not pressing enough to warrant its posting it on the site. We hope you’ll enjoy it.
