  • Dana White's Worst Nightmare  By : 5thRound.com
    Dana White has single handedly (with the financial support from the Fertittta brothers) made Mixed Martial Arts, and more specifically the UFC, the fastest growing sport in America.

Not to say that organizations wouldn’t be popping up all over the United States, but there wouldn’t be any money in doing so. Who else could’ve gotten MMA onto the cover of Sports Illustrated, on ESPN’s SportsCenter, or how a

  • The most important things I learned in life and in the boxing ring  By : Rev.David B. Smith
    The most important things I learned in the boxing ring
    It feels a little strange talking about my illustrious fighting career, as I'm no longer fighting. I have retired. My excuse is that I've turned 35, which is rather a good excuse, as you're not legally allowed to fight in NSW once you turn 35. I could complain about the 'ageism' involved in this, but to tell you the truth I'm quite glad. It's not only escaping the trial of having to get up at the crack of dawn every morning to go running.
