Chael Sonnen is the best in the fight game when it comes to promoting fights. People who know nothing about MMA know about Chael P. Sonnen and how he can use his mouth to make you turn into a fight.
Sometimes, his opponent will try to match Sonnen's promotional antics. Anderson Silva did it in...
Oldham beat Portsmouth 1-0 on Saturday with the game's only goal coming in the 11th minute, but the strangest moment (of any match that day) came in the 50th minute when Pompey defender Sam Sodje was shown a red card for smacking scorer Jose Baxter in the crotch. Twice.
Why Sodje felt this was...
Former PSG midfielder Modeste M'bami got away with goosing Al Nassr's Khaled Al-Zaylai during a Saudi Premier League match. The act was a similar but malicious version of a goal celebration that got a pair of teammates on Iranian side Persepolis banned in 2011.
In the 50th minute of a match...
If there was any doubt that Pepe was the human embodiment of football violence in its most experimental and ever-changing forms, the first leg of Real Madrid's Copa del Rey round of 16 tie against Celta Vigo likely put it to rest. With Celta up 1-0 in the second half (they eventually won 2-1)...
According to 101 Great Goals, the derby match between CFR Cluj and Universitatea was abandoned when things got out of hand after a dubious penalty was awarded to Cluj in the 27th minute. Cadu converted the penalty and went to celebrate behind the goal as Universitatea keeper Mircea Bornescu took...
Let's hear it for the old guys! 53-year-old Tim Karaker showed up at Fire Extreme in Bourbonnais, Ill. last week and was asked to fight. He said yes, and knocked out 21-year-old Brandon Frey. Watch his MMA debut here, and skip to the 2:30 mark for the KO. UFC fighter Stephan Bonnar narrates and...
In extra time of Anzhi's 1-0 Russian Cup loss to Dynamo Moscow, Samuel Eto'o decided to show that just because he's now the highest paid footballer in the world doesn't mean he's gone soft.
After sending a header just over the bar from right in front of goal, Eto'o stood up and grabbed a...
On Monday, we brought you a video of Brandon Jennings throwing a ball off a defender's head and scoring at the Dyckman League in New York. It was fun, surprising, and generally the kind of creative play that makes Jennings an interesting player even as his NBA development has stalled a bit.
No...
Jeff Monson has always struck me as a little bit off. He's clearly a smart cookie with intense political philosophies, but he marches to the beat of a different drum. The 40-year-old, who once challenged for the UFC heavyweight title, is returning to the big stage to battle Daniel Cormier at...
lunging for the leg takedown? You know how you crouch and lunge to take someone down? Well my question is, in the UFC, can you knee him in the face while he's in that low position/lunging towards you to grab your legs for the takedown.
In Karate Kid 3 the guy Daniel is fighting is constantly yelling stuff like "Your karate is $hit!. He never taught you anything. Your karate is $hit!" I kept expecting him the get disqualified but he didn't. Is it allowed to curse at and taunt your opponent, even classifying their karate as "$hit?"
fighting, Flomo rants? Isn't it just ironic that when Manny Pacquiao and his team was pursuing the fight with Flomo Bedwetter Jr., Floyd was either silent, in retirement or stating he had no acknowledgement of negotiations. Now that Manny is fighting Margarito, Mr. Bedwetter Jr. is in an uproar...
