    The Ultimate Fighting Championship (MMA) Thread

    What did people think of Hamill versus Franklin? When I was watching the UFC Countdown show on Spike earlier this week, Franklin mentioned repeadedly that Hamill was the toughest wrestler that he ever had to train against and was really concerned about his wrestling. Did the fight go to the...

    Mike'd Up: The Mike Francesa Show

    That really is the big question on my mind. We all know how much Mike uses ratings to determine the worth of something. What if the show loses a large amount of audience when the next ratings book comes out? How will he spin that? Should be very interesting down the road...

    The Ultimate Fighting Championship (MMA) Thread

    You aren't kidding. His back and shoulders are about as wide as a refridgerator and he has the quickness of men 3/4 his size. I've already heard people labeling him "The Next Big Bust". Once he rounds out his game and becomes a much better defender of submission attempts, he'll be incredible...
