Denny Burkholder has some things to get off his chest
Tuesday, December 18th, 2007Tell us how you really feel: Popular MMA message boards tend to hate mainstream MMA coverage, with posters wondering aloud “why don’t they just hire people like us?” (Which draws various far-reaching assumptions such as that mainstream writers didn’t know about MMA until The Ultimate Fighter, never posted on an MMA message board, and are […]
Kevin Iole floats media trial balloon on Matt Lindland
Tuesday, December 18th, 2007On November 27th: I don’t think the chances are good of Lindland returning to the UFC. Lindland’s not what I call an exciting fighter.

Quote of the Year – Minneapolis Star Tribune
Monday, December 17th, 2007The Minneapolis Star-Tribune is no stranger when it comes to trying to psycho-analyze why people like MMA.
