“It’s a small world” is an idiom that has never applied to me until a few years ago when I was surfing a MMA news site and I noticed something familiar about a featured top ten featherweight fighter in one of the articles. I could remember staring at my computer telling myself it couldn’t be, but it was.
Back in the early 90′s my parents made the decision to move from the United States to Portugal. Tony, like myself, also moved to Portugal with his family, with the only …

The tribute video below was a video I made a while back as a tribute to MMA fighters who have passed away throughout the years. Some were remembered as loose cannons, others as inspirational, but all were true warriors who gave their all when competing in the sport of mixed martial arts.

Viacheslav Datsik is probably known best for knocking out Andrei Arlovski early on in Arlovski’s career as well as for being one of the craziest, if not the craziest, mixed martial artists ever. For those who are new to the sport and do not know who Datsik is, I put together the highlight below which chronicles most of his career.

Arrest
Early on, rumors spread throughout the internet that he had died in a train wreck. In actuality, Datsik was arrested for his part in the robbery of various mobile …

In all honesty, I’ve debated on whether or not I should make compilations concerning this topic after considering what non-MMA fans would think if they saw them. Mostly those who still consider MMA barbaric despite rule changes and that it is now considered a legitimate and safe sport, in which referees step in whenever they feel a fighter cannot continue.
On the other hand, I constantly see people who have never trained before but seem to think that they can live a fighter’s lifestyle simply by being a spectator. …
