This week on Mixed Marshall Arts
As you may or may not know, I have another blog called Mixed Marshall Arts covering the world of combat sports & entertainment: MMA, boxing, and pro wrestling. Here’s a list of what’s gone down recently…

- Breaking News: The Rock is Very Obviously Back on Steroids, Big Time
Christ. Good thing he doesn’t have to piss into a cup, which I’m sure thrills the regular members of the WWE roster that have to do so without getting his huge payday for only working one match a year.
- It’s Time for Jim Lampley’s Ridiculous Goddamn Glasses of the Week

The fight was every bit as uneventful as we expected it to be, with Hopkins’ offensive highlights coming from a headbutt that opened up Dawson early in the fight and a takedown … Continue reading →
