Kevin Marshall's America
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…
- “Shear” Awesomeness
Raymond [Rougeau] runs in when Jacques is in the sleeper and then Brutus [Beefcake] pulls a weapon [the shears] on them. That’s weird, the more you think about it. They pretend he’s going to cut their hair and that’s why they’re scared, but no, dog, it’s because he’s about to … Continue reading →
- Judge Decides Floyd Mayweather Isn’t Supposed to Have a Good Time in Jail
So Floyd Mayweather was all “oh my God I hate it here in jail! It is the worst!” And the judge was all like “well, uh…well yeah.” Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s request that he be released from jail because the low-quality food and water have threatened his health was denied by … Continue reading →
- More on the Pacquaio/Bradley Decision: No Rematch, Investigation Possible, Precedents, and its Impact on MMA
I woke up on Saturday morning assuming I’d spend much of the next week talking about the need to provide more competent reffing and judging in MMA. Okay, I’m being a bit facetious, since I don’t wake up in the morning and think “what will I blog about in reference … Continue reading →
- Fallout of the Absurd Pacquaio/Bradley Decision
Making the performance of Florida officials on Friday night’s UFC on FX 3 card look competent would be a tall order for any Commission, but the Nevada State Athletic Commission was apparently up for the challenge. In case you don’t know already, last night’s bout between Manny Pacquaio and Tim … Continue reading →
- Awesome Night of Fights at UFC on FX 3; Dana White Buries Shogun & Quashes Lesnar Rumors
UFC on FX 3 was tonight and if you didn’t find a TV wherever you were, you missed one of the best free televised fight cards since the UFC acquired and absorbed the WEC. The results: Prelims Sean Pierson def. Jake Hecht via Unanimous Decision (29–28, 29–28, 29–28) Henry Martinez def. … Continue reading →
- ARES Fight Night IX Card Change; Cage Wars 13 will be the Capital Region’s 1st Ever MMA Event
Five Guys Fighting announced on its Facebook page that it will be putting on a full MMA event in August, the first of its kind in the Capital Region. They’re taking advantage of a loophole that New York State unveiled last January after it was sued by the UFC that allows … Continue reading →
- Wallid Ismail: Extreme Translator [Video]
In the video below, Ariel Helwani speaks to Erick Silva about his bout tonight with Charlie Brenneman on UFC on FX 3 through coach Wallid Ismail, who in turns provides the most intense. Translation. Ever. Seriously, I thought I was watching an old 80s wrestling show. It’s amazing. *arrive* *TRANSLATE* … Continue reading →
- BJ Penn Un-retires to Fight Rory McDonald at UFC 152
Well, that didn’t take very long, did it? Just days after I included BJ Penn in my list of Fighters Who Are (Probably Not) Retired for Spike MMA & Sports, the consensus best Lightweight in UFC history is coming out of retirement in response to a public challenge from Rory … Continue reading →
- Bad News for Pacquaio Fans, Good News for Mosley Fans
As I’ve said many times before, the credit I give to Floyd Mayweather for his boxing I always grant begrudgingly because I find the guy beyond irritating. But the fight with Manny Pacquaio would have already gone down if Pacquaio would have submitted to Olympic style drug testing. And now, … Continue reading →
