- [Peruvian Necktie – BJJ Submission](https://cagepotato.com/peruvian-necktie/): There are numerous front headlock chokes and one of the most innovative is the Peruvian necktie. This choke is as nasty as it sounds.
- [Kimura Lock – BJJ Submission](https://cagepotato.com/kimura-lock-bjj-submission/): The kimura lock is one of the most versatile arm locks in all of grappling. It can be done from nearly every position and is really simple to do.
- [Omoplata – BJJ Submission](https://cagepotato.com/omoplata-bjj-submission/): The omoplata is not only an effective submission, but also a great way to sweep your opponents. But it wasn’t always looked at as the highly effective technique that it is today.
- [Imanari Roll](https://cagepotato.com/imanari-roll/): In Jiu Jitsu, leg locks are more prevalent than ever. Many grapplers are becoming experts at leg locks usings various entries into the submissions.
- [Meanwhile, in Boxing: A Mexican Politician With Pec Implants Fought the Most Bogus Fight Ever](https://cagepotato.com/meanwhile-in-boxing-a-mexican-politician-with-pec-implants-fought-the-most-bogus-fight-ever/): While admittedly not being experts in the field of boxing, we here at CagePotato still think we’ve seen enough action inside the squared circle to spot a sham — Big Knockout Boxing or Mickey Rourke, for instance — and my God, if this isn’t the be-all end-all of boxing shams.
- [MMA Fighter Booto Guylain Dies From Head Trauma Suffered in EFC Africa Match Last Week](https://cagepotato.com/mma-fighter-booto-guylain-dies-from-head-trauma-suffered-in-efc-africa-match-last-week/): A South African middleweight MMA fighter named Booto Guylain died earlier today, from head injuries he suffered during a TKO loss to Keron Davies last Thursday at EFC Africa 27. Guylain was 29 years old, and very new to the sport, as his only other pro fight was a previous TKO loss at EFC Africa 25 in November.
- [EXCLUSIVE: ‘Hip Show’ Two-on-Two MMA League Coming to AXS TV on March 14th…Sponsored by CagePotato!](https://cagepotato.com/exclusive-hip-show-two-on-two-mma-league-coming-to-axs-tv-on-march-14th-sponsored-by-cagepotato/): Hip Show calls itself “two-on-two arena fighting,” but it’s more like American Gladiators meets a Russian dashcam-brawl. Instead of two guys fighting on a flat surface (borrrrrring!), it’s four guys fighting in a room full of platforms and obstacles. Seriously, this thing is absolutely insane.
- [On This Day in MMA History: ‘Just Bleed Guy’ Steals Our Hearts in the Greatest UFC Crowd-Shot of All Time](https://cagepotato.com/on-this-day-in-mma-history-just-bleed-guy-steals-our-hearts-in-the-greatest-ufc-crowd-shot-of-all-time/): It was October 17th, 1997 — sixteen years ago today — and the night was just getting started. Behemoth wrestler Mark Kerr entered the Octagon at UFC 15: Collision Course in search of another heavyweight tournament sweep, and his first opponent that evening was a doughy former Army Ranger named Greg Stott, who entered the bout with an NHB record of 0-0, touting a made-up fighting style called “RIP” (which stood for Ranger International Performance, in case you’re curious). Even before the bell rang, you could probably tell that this was going to be one of the ugliest mismatches in MMA history. Fans who were watching the pay-per-view at home settled in to witness the closest thing Americans had to a public execution in the late 20th century.
- [Bellator 180: James Gallagher Looks To Best Veteran Karate Master Chinzo Machida](https://cagepotato.com/bellator-180-james-gallagher-vs-chinzo-machida/): Bellator 180: James Gallagher vs Chinzo Machida
- [Which MMA Fighter Will Test Positive For Steroids Next? A Completely Speculative Investigation](https://cagepotato.com/which-mma-fighter-will-test-positive-for-steroids-next/): The past few weeks have been a trying time to be an MMA fan, with random drug tests nailing Anderson Silva (smh), Hector Lombard (could have seen it coming), and Jon Fitch (wah?!) for various types of performance enhancers. MMA has always had something of a drug problem, but 2015 has brought that issue to the forefront with a resounding injection to the buttocks. Worse yet, the UFC’s decision to recently abandon their out-of-competition drug testing program indicates that the sport’s steroid epidemic will only get worse before it gets better.
- [The 11 Greatest Ultimate Surrender Videos That We Can Get Away With Showing You](https://cagepotato.com/the-greatest-ultimate-surrender-videos-that-we-can-get-away-with-showing-you/): In case you’ve never heard of it — yeah right, pervert — Ultimate Surrender is essentially the girl-on-girl p*rn version of submission grappling. Barely-clothed women wrestle each other through three sweaty rounds, and the winner gets to have her way with the loser at the end. According to the totally explicit, NSFW, and hilarious official website, “The quickest way to win is to make your opponent have a screaming orgasm totally against her will. In the heat of the moment it can happen easily.” Easily!
- [Falling Tree Head Kick Knockout of the Day: Female Fighter Gets Starched at ‘Say Uncle Fight Night 2′](https://cagepotato.com/falling-tree-head-kick-knockout-of-the-day-female-fighter-gets-starched-at-say-uncle-fight-night-2/): Saturday night in Sheffield, England, an MMA fighter named Veronica Macedo scored one of the best head-kick knockouts of the year when she put Chrissy Audin into a deep sleep at an event called “Say Uncle Fight Night 2.” (God bless regional MMA.) Clearly, Audin was expecting a body kick, as her hands were nowhere near her face when she ate Macedo’s foot.

- [Update: Khabib Nurmagomedov Out Until January 2015 With Torn Meniscus](https://cagepotato.com/update-khabib-nurmagomedov-out-until-january-2015-with-torn-meniscus/): We wanted to pass along a quick update on Khabib Nurmagomedov, who made history on Friday by pulling out of a fight against Donald Cerrone just 20 minutes after he agreed to it. (Beat that, Lil’ Nog!) According to Nurmagomedov’s manager Mike Constantino, the undefeated lightweight suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee, which will require surgery. He is expected to be out of action until January.
- [[VIDEO] Check Out This HORRIFIC Arm Break From a Polish MMA Fight](https://cagepotato.com/video-check-out-this-horrific-arm-break-from-a-polish-mma-fight/): From the time Corey Hill nearly kicked his own foot off to Frank Mir’s arm-shattering kimura on Big Nog to whatever the f*ck this is supposed to be, it would be safe to say that us MMA fans have been privy to some absolutely horrendous bone breaks over the years. Yet no matter how gruesome the injury is, we continuously find ourselves drawn toward them, replaying the nasty injuries on a loop like a white chick with a zit-popping compilation.

Was It The Wrong Move?](https://cagepotato.com/demetrious-johnson-speaks-his-mind-about-treatment-by-the-ufc-was-it-the-wrong-move/): Demetrious Johnson is officially the man in my book. While many fans may be discrediting him, stating that he’s some kind of coward for refusing to fight bantamweight contender TJ Dillashaw for the flyweight title, it’s hard not to see the champion’s points. It’s easy to sit there and point the finger, especially when you don’t have to do the fighting, but Demetrious Johnson airing out the laundry, namely his treatment by the UFC, is something every fighter and fan deserves to hear.
- [Martial Arts Fail of the Week: Balinese White Magic Is the Best Base for MMA](https://cagepotato.com/martial-arts-fail-of-the-week-balinese-white-magic-is-the-best-base-for-mma/): Remember when we said nobody on Martial Arts Fail of the Week could possibly be worse than Ashida Kim?
- [Bellator 129 Weigh-Ins Were a Friggin’ Disaster; Event Will Now Feature a 168-Pound Women’s Bout](https://cagepotato.com/bellator-129-weigh-ins-were-a-friggin-disaster-event-will-now-feature-a-168-pound-womens-bout/): You know you’re dealing with a high-level MMA event when seven of the 11 bouts on the card are catchweights. That’s how things shook out at the Bellator 129 weigh-ins yesterday in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Originally, there were supposed to be just three catchweight bouts scheduled on the prelims (which is still kind of a lot), and Virgil Zwicker was given a pass to hit 215 pounds in his main card fight against Houston Alexander; Zwicker was a late replacement for James Thompson.
- [‘WTF?’ of the Year Candidate: Cody McKenzie Gives Up a Pint of Blood to Make Weight for Battlegrounds MMA Tournament](https://cagepotato.com/wtf-of-the-year-candidate-cody-mckenzie-gives-up-a-pint-of-blood-to-make-weight-for-battlegrounds-mma-tournament/): Good Lord, where do we start with this one. Cody McKenzie needs little introduction: He’s the grubby-looking guy from Alaska with the good guillotine who went 3-4 in the UFC at lightweight and featherweight, and wore a pair of basketball shorts with the tag still attached during his last UFC fight against Sam Stout, because he left his real shorts at his hotel and was hoping to return the shorts to Foot Locker after the fight, I guess?
- [Christy Mack Releases Gruesome Photos/Details About War Machine Assault [WARNING: GRAPHIC]](https://cagepotato.com/christy-mack-releases-gruesome-photosdetails-about-war-machine-assault/): One day after he was released from Bellator for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend, p*rn star Christy Mack, notorious TUF alum War Machine (a.k.a Jon Koppenhaver) remains on the run from police with a $10,000 bounty on his head. Mack, however, has been hospitalized ever since.
- [Fallon Fox Gets TKO’d, Holly Holm and Henry Cejudo Stay Undefeated [VIDEOS]](https://cagepotato.com/weekend-update-fallon-fox-gets-tkod-holly-holm-and-henry-cejudo-stay-undefeated-videos/): There was a considerable amount of combat sports action this weekend. Timothy Bradley took a split decision over Juan Manuel Marquez, retaining his WBO welterweight title. Tyrone Spong avenged a past draw against Nathan Corbett with a vicious left hook knockout in the second round at Glory 11. But this is CagePotato; we deal in MMA here. And while most of the focus was on Bellator this weekend (which is to say, there wasn’t a lot of focus this weekend), there were three other notable MMA fights that warranted attention. Olympic wrestling gold medalist Henry Cejudo notched yet another victory, and both Holly Holm and Fallon Fox, WMMA prospects fan-favorities celebrities fighters who you know about, fought this weekend. While the results were different for the three, each took a step towards fulfilling what potential they possess. For better or worse.
- [Ashlee Evans-Smith Replaces Holly Holm at UFC 181 Against Raquel Pennington](https://cagepotato.com/ashlee-evans-smith-replaces-holly-holm-at-ufc-181-against-raquel-pennington/): With bantamweight rising star Holly Holm out of her UFC debut next month due to a neck injury, the UFC has signed Ashlee Evans-Smith to fill in for Holm at UFC 181: Hendricks vs. Lawler II (December 6th, Las Vegas) against Raquel Pennington. UFC officials announced the news yesterday.
- [UFC/Reebok Uniform Deal Reportedly Worth $70 Million Over Six Years](https://cagepotato.com/ufc-reebok-uniform-deal-reportedly-worth-70-million-over-six-years/): Yesterday, the UFC and Reebok laid out the broad strokes of a new partnership that would make Reebok the official uniform provider and commercial apparel producer for the world’s leading MMA promotion. In short: It’s a six-year agreement that will kick off on July 6th of next year, “every dime” of the revenue goes to the fighters — or at least “the vast majority” of it — and payouts will be based on a tier-system determined by a fighter rankings, which are themselves determined by a random and often unqualified assortment of approved media members.
- [Georges St-Pierre Blasts the UFC for Lack of Drug-Testing Support; Lorenzo Fertitta ‘Disappointed’ By Comments](https://cagepotato.com/georges-st-pierre-blasts-the-ufc-for-lack-of-drug-testing-support-lorenzo-fertitta-disappointed-by-comments/): During a media appearance in Montreal yesterday, former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre was uncharacteristically candid about his motivations for stepping away from the sport, and how he felt about the UFC not supporting him when he attempted to arrange enhanced drug-testing prior to his UFC 167 title fight against Johny Hendricks.
- [UFC Announces Fighter Uniform Deal With Reebok](https://cagepotato.com/ufc-announces-fighter-uniform-deal-with-reebok/): The UFC’s long-rumored plan to institute an official uniform for its fighters has become a reality. As leaked last night by apparel company Dethrone — a longtime sponsor of MMA fighters — the UFC has partnered with Reebok for its uniform deal. UFC president Dana White and CEO Lorenzo Fertitta will be discussing the details in this video announcement, beginning at 11 a.m. ET / 8 a.m. PT…

First we had Jon Jones vs. a guy who had absolutely no right to be in the Octagon with him, then we had the Ronda Rousey co-ed slumber party spectacular, and now the UFC is going to give us Frankie Edgar vs. a painfully skinny version of an old semi-retired guy he already beat twice.
- [WEC/UFC Veteran Josh Grispi Charged For Horrific Assault Against Wife](https://cagepotato.com/wecufc-veteran-josh-grispi-charged-for-horrific-assault-against-wife/): Well, this is disturbing. According to a report by Wicked Local, former WEC/UFC fighter contender Josh “The Fluke” Grispi has been arrested and charged in a particularly heinous domestic abuse case, which included two separate assaults against his wife over a four day span and a trained pitbull attack. No joke, this sick f*cker brought an animal into the equation. Read on, if you can.

If anybody knows That Guy’s real identity, please get in touch with us, because we’d love to interview him about how he came to compete under the most anonymous billing since Unknown Fighter. In the meantime, here are 20 more ridiculous MMA fighter names we’ve found while browsing the Fight Finder, accompanied by the fighters’ profile photos when available. Enjoy, and let us know if we left out any good ones.

The fiasco described below took place on November 28th, 2009, exactly four years ago today; the following post was published two days later. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
- [Everyone Wish Urijah Faber’s Sister A Full Recovery](https://cagepotato.com/everyone-wish-urijah-fabers-sister-a-full-recovery/): Some sad news out of California today, as it was recently reported that former WEC champion and current #1 bantamweight contender Urijah Faber‘s sister was in a car accident late Friday night and has had to undergo major surgery which has left her in a medically induced coma as a result. Sacbee.com was the first to break the story:
- [Valerie Letourneau to Meet Joanne Calderwood in UFC’s First Ever Women’s Flyweight Bout](https://cagepotato.com/valerie-letourneau-to-meet-joanne-calderwood-in-ufcs-first-ever-womens-flyweight-bout/): As much as the UFC has done for women in MMA in general, it’s kind of a shame that their stage to shine has been limited to just two weight classes for close to three years now. Invicta does a great job showcasing a few other divisions, sure, and their brand will (hopefully) only continue to grow now that they’re broadcasting all their events on Fight Pass, but the UFC could always stand to fill in the gap between strawweight and bantamweight. There’s a lot separating a Joanna Jedrzejczyk from a Ronda Rousey, after all, and I say that with the utmost respect and with no negative connotation whatsoever.
- [Dana White Enters the “Public Burial” Phase of His Break-Up With Nate Diaz](https://cagepotato.com/dana-white-enters-the-public-burial-phase-of-his-break-up-with-nate-diaz/): Two months after being removed from the UFC’s rankings out of spite, Nate Diaz is still M.I.A. Well, he’s not missing in the traditional sense, as much as he’s taking an extended break from MMA competition (a “Stocktation”, if you will) until the UFC meets his likely insane salary demands. Well, not *insane* salary demands, but something much higher than his longtime promotion is willing to fork over.

- [UFC 206 Picks: Interim Title On The Line…For One](https://cagepotato.com/ufc-206-picks-interim-title-on-the-line-for-one/): The main event of UFC 206 may be tarnished by the fact that former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis missed weight by three pounds, yet the match up between he and Max Holloway is still intriguing. But it does but a big asterisk on the event as a whole. The UFC promoting the match to an interim title fight certainly lent more gravity to the situation, but it also forced them to unceremoniously strip Conor McGregor of his title only to have the UFC 206 title fight fall apart. If Holloway wins he still gets the belt. If Anthony Pettis wins he gets his show and win money minus twenty percent. Nevertheless, the fight itself is what counts and breaking it down is still the goal.

CagePotato.com learned of the MacDonald-Seguin pairing and confirmed the rumored Ford-Santos bout today from sources close to both bouts.

Prior to the bout, Rousey was doing nothing short of calling her home runs from the plate, claiming that she would “retire undefeated” and “be known as the greatest fighter that ever lived.” Nowadays, she’s already planning her exit strategy from the sport should she lose her rematch to Holm, telling ESPN, “If I lose, I’ll be done with everything.”

But after watching this supercut of “The Worst Stoppages in MMA” compiled by TapNapSnap, you might begin to understand why most fight fans hold MMA referees second only to MMA judges on the list of incompetent f**k-ups who are ruining the sport. Truly a life of never-ending agony and disappointment, that of the MMA fan.

That was, of course, until Emelianenko decided to beat up a 63 year-old army veteran on his birthday. Classy stuff, Al. Unfortunately for us PRIDE fanboys, the resulting legal action taken against Emelianenko has ensured that none such rematch will happen.

It marked the death of Lincoln, the sinking of the Titanic, the Great Mississippi Flood, the Boston Marathon bombing, and perhaps worst of all, it’s tax day. Tax day, you guys. Tax day. It also happens to be the day of my birth.
