Paul Daley pursuing new deal after being granted release by Strikeforce

Strikeforce?s anemic welterweight division dropped even further towards obscurity over the weekend when British bomber Paul Daley announced he?d severed ties with the organization in order to fight more frequently. Daley re-joined the company at the start of 2011 but has only fought a single time since, losing a decision to Kazuo Misaki in March. [...]

Judges denies Floyd Mayweather's request for transfer

With an unbeaten record and success on some of the grandest stages known to mankind, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is probably somewhat accustomed to winning. However, when it came to the State of Nevada easing the sentence he?s currently serving for a battery charge, the polarizing pugilist suffered one of the few defeats he?s been dealt [...]

A piece of wood from the pole Jon Jones? Bentley hit is on eBay

Jon Jones' DWI has piqued the interest of the MMA world, and one eBay seller decided to capitalize on that. A piece of wood from the telephone pole Jones hit with his Bentley is for sale on eBay.

The seller said in his listing:

Well, I've heard people sell & buy crazy things, so I'm going to test that theory now... This is a piece of  telephone pole wood that was knocked off when Jon Jones crashed into it w/ his Bentley on the corner of Grand Blvd & Helen St. in Binghamton on May 19th, 2012... It measures about 14 inches long & actually has a "crashed smell odor" to it... It is about an inch wide in the middle & then narrows out at the ends... One pic shows the wood piece & the other pic shows the actual pole which is cracked near the bottom & now supported by wood beams... This is a good conversation piece & definitely WAY more interesting than his last fight... Maybe you can get him to sign it someday, but you may need to use it as protection if he throws a flying elbow your way rather than an autograph.

Genuine "crashed smell odor!" And the seller is even making jokes about Jones' fight with Rashad Evans. That's pretty bold from someone who is trying to profit off of the UFC light heavyweight champ. Considering how Jones feels about being asked to sign replica belts, I'll bet that he wouldn't like signing this particular piece of "memorabilia."

Thanks to MMA Fighting.

WWE RAW Backstage Fallout/Review: Dolph Ziggler Becomes #1 Contender in Best Match Ever to Feature Great Khali

Dolph Ziggler, who’s notably been taking it easy on the #HEEL catchphrase lately, had probably his best and best-deserved reaction from a live TV crowd to date in an elimination match win over fellow short-term former World Champions Great Khali, Jack Swagger, and Christian. The last few minutes before Ziggler hit his finisher, the–sigh–Zig Zag–for [...]
