Roy Nelson defeats Kimbo Slice
by The Glowing Edge
posted October 1, 2009 at 7:54pm
I’m new to MMA, and to look at these two fighters, I immediately picked Kimbo Slice — in all his big, cut, scary glory — as the potentially superior fighter to fat-bellied Roy Nelson. Nelson has skinny arms, less reach, more gut, and he just scre...more

by Athletic Women Blog
posted September 16, 2009 at 12:47pm
Despite the odd name, Ultimate Women Challenge, a new reality show starring female MMA fighters, should be worth setting time aside for its debut December 28 on NBC (check your local TV listings).

by The Glowing Edge
posted September 15, 2009 at 6:32pm
Yes, she’s a beast in the MMA cage, even with her recent loss in a Strikeforce title fight with Cris Cyborg Santos last month. Yes, she’s undeniably gorgeous. But I’m gonna hold back judgment on whether sticking her in a Steven Soderbergh movie i...more

Fight Night: Battle at the Expo 2
by The Glowing Edge
posted August 30, 2009 at 6:59pm
I will never be an MMA fighter. One tiny slip-up that another fighter can take advantage of, and boom, you’re in a arm bar or choke hold or whatever, and you’re tapping out and all those months of training for a fight vanish in a flash, leaving you...more

Training Hell, Training Heaven
by The Glowing Edge
posted August 21, 2009 at 5:11pm
Last night our trainer rolled out a new circuit for the boxing team, one which we all relished and despised. It was one of those kinds of nights where you are working so hard that the sweat is rolling off you, you can barely breathe, and you wonder per...more

Carano vs. Cyborg: the epilogue
by Athletic Women Blog
posted August 17, 2009 at 4:31pm
Some fear that Saturday night's fight marked an apogee to which women's MMA shall not return; the humbling of the sport's first star, witnessed by millions, a deathblow to the fledgling sport. I don't see it that way, however. My thinking is like that of ...more

Cyborg wins convincingly by TKO
by Athletic Women Blog
posted August 16, 2009 at 4:07pm
Though she fought bravely and capably, Gina Carano was overmatched in her bout last night with Cris "Cyborg" Santos. The strength difference was evident early, and quite telling; Cyborg was pretty much able to control Carano at will. When the referee stop...more

Gina Carano and Cris Cyborg Santos stripped to their underwear and stepped onto the scales for a standing-room only crowd at the San Hose Marriot last night; Carano with an easy, almost embarassed smile and Cyborg with her customary scowl. Both fighter...more

Carano vs. Cyborg: Ruminating on the big fight
by Athletic Women Blog
posted August 14, 2009 at 3:44pm
This blog covers many sports, ideally any sport that women participate in. But the lion's share of attention goes to combat and strength sports. Nothing so much forces us to rethink timeworn notions about gender as seeing women throwing and taking punches...more

How to watch Carano vs. Cyborg on the cheap
by Athletic Women Blog
posted August 13, 2009 at 3:33pm
Perhaps you are like me. You don't watch enough television to justify a subscription to one or more of the premium channels. (My satellite bill has only one extra on it, a sports package that allows me to get most televised women's sporting events.) Given...more

Carano vs. Cyborg: more at stake than a title
by Athletic Women Blog
posted June 30, 2009 at 3:47pm
One doesn't risk much by saying that the Carano-Cyborg fight to be held August 15 is important to the future of women's MMA. But neither is it mere hyperbole to say that this fight matters nearly as much to the future of all women's sport. Already there i...more
