Botafogo’s Andre Luis really should keep his hands to himself if he doesn’t want to get, you know, tossed. [Deadspin]...

Wherever you’re sitting and reading this, why don’t you give a warm applause and chest pound…now kiss your fingers and shoot a wink towards the sky…in honor of boxer Oscar Diaz and the fact that homeboy just woke up...

You have to assume that Mixed Martial Arts referees have the ability to defend themselves if anything goes awry during, or after, a fight. We doubt Mills Lane could defend himself against Mike Tyson, but we bet he would...

Panamanian pugilist Rafael “El Torito” Concepcion should have known his fight against Mexican fighter Javier “Travieso” Arce would be an uphill battle because there’s no way in hell you’re going to stop a Mexicano from tapping into his inner...

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim dropped a can of whoop-ass on the fourth-place Yankees last night when they routed the pinstripes 12-1, including a six run sixth that saw them bat around the order while fans munched on...

You know what happens when you fight guys that can’t box? You move up the ranks too quickly and eventually rocket to the grounds of reality when you come face-to-face with someone who can. 25-year-old Colombian Breidis Prescott had...

You always hear about victims of police brutality getting the snot beat out of them while onlookers watched in horror, transfixed by what they were seeing and paralyzed by the fact that the police can’t be interrupted when they’re...

Sebastian Mendez wasn’t about to let Colombian soccer player Falcao Garcia get away without inducing some severe kidney damage. Though Garcia surfaced unfazed from this spearkick to the back, you’d have to imagine that he was pissing blood for...

Fidel Castro spewed an irate letter this morning referencing the performance of his oh so dear Cubans during the Olympics games this year. Specifically, he wanted to show solidarity with psycho taekwando dude, Angel Valodia Matos. If there’s anything...

Taekwondo matches during the Olympics are a flipping mystery to us. Unlike boxing, Taekwondo is scored the way you score a beauty pageant: by absolutely no damn formula whatsoever. Also, the sport is odd. Can these guys even fight?...

We’ve always been mesmerized by the grace of Capoeiristas and their art form. We’re oblivious to proper terminology, but the thing we enjoy most about the art is the music and the acrobatics. It’s really a sight to see...

This is what goes down during tournaments in South East Asia. You see, there isn’t a rule about kicking above the mid-section of a person’s body in the AFC Champions Cup 2008. Hell, there isn’t even a rule about...

We remember Pony league practice games always started with our biggest teammate talking smack to the other biggest teammate, and then someone threw a bat in an antagonistic manner, or hocked a wad of spit a little to close...

The most famous of multi-sport professionals are Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders. They epitomized the definition of athlete. Yet, Deion Sanders’ legacy impacts us a lot more when we realize the guy’s gone on to own an Arena football...

Just like a rapid pitbull, you’re really not supposed to taunt police officers in any way. Trust us, we were born and raised in Los Angeles and unless you want your ass tased or your cranium smashed in by...

There were four seconds left on the regulation clock during the Los Angeles Sparks V Detroit Shock game last night and the Los Angeles Sparks were at the free-throw line. The shot was taken and then all hell broke...

We referenced David Beckham’s perspective on MLS’ progression today and he failed to mention the thriving hooligan atmosphere that American soccer fans are adopting. Case in point: Columbus Crew’s “Harley Street Hooligans” decided to start a little tiff with...

There was a major cat fight this weekend between IndyCar racers Danica Patrick and Milka Duno. It had to do with something concerning Milka being too slow on the course and slowing on a curve, which lead to Danica’s...

The haymaker: it’s a wild punch, usually thrown as a hooping hook shot, applied with extreme force and backed by an even more extreme anger. Kidney shots: they’re the quintessential charlie horse that will have a recipient of the...

MLS and the Chicago Fire went an entire year without so much as a drop kick from Mexican international soccer stud Cuauhtemoc Blanco, but if rumors are true, then Blanco’s notorious temper is as ripe as a three-second fart....

Please, be entertained by this scene: Los Angeles police received a tip last month about a cockfight in progress in the 1300 block of East 108th Street, according to a police report. Officers apprehended Ramirez and 10 of about...

Expect a volatile reaction every single time you decide to wear a visitor’s jersey at a home team’s court. Frankly, if you’re brute enough to even think about wearing the visitor’s jersey when you’re at the home squad’s ballpark,...

The Boston Red Sox got their fight club on when Coco Crisp leapt from the batter’s box in the second inning, charged the mound and displayed his best Pernell Whitaker impression. The benches cleared and all seemed calm after...

Be it far from us to judge other people’s fighting style. But when two hipsters start duking it out in the middle of New York’s Union Square, you just have to expect some commentary. Of course being New York,...

We’ve got an hour until kick-off for Champions League glory to climax, but we need a bug fight to get us into a competitive spirit. Ever see a beetle and a scorpion go at it? Well, yeah, it reminds...

The Seattle Mariners’ Richie Sexson wasn’t keen on keeping the peace during the Seattle Mariners/Texas Rangers game last night. Seeing that there hasn’t been a bench clearing brawl this year, Sexson took matters into his own hands and bulldozed...

You’re an idiot fan if you believe an adrenaline-fueled athlete won’t kick your ass if confronted with aggression. Athletes around the world put up with enough grief from apoplectic fans to warrant an explosion of rage from time to...

German international soccer player and Arsenal FC goalkeeper Jens Lehmann was involved in a scuffle with paparazzi photographers last night at London’s renowned Embassy Club. He’s on the verge of being recalled to international duties so we don’t really...

Frank Shamrock is the adoptive brother of old school UFC fighter Ken Shamrock. He’s also a guy we ran into on a consistent basis when we were wee lads in Southern California because we ran with a clan of...

Yesterday Tommy Lasorda waddles out to argue a call in Vero Beach and now the Rays and Yankees are brawling? Who says nothing counts during Spring training? Brawls and scuffles need practice and training as well, and the New...

Pitchers are allowed to be fat, slow and ugly. We think it might actually be a requirement. But, usually fat and ugly dudes can handle their biz in a brawl. When you’re a 6 foot, 170 pound relief pitcher...

Arsenal’s 5-1 Carling Cup exit wasn’t just marred by their horrendous play. The Gunners, down 4-0 within moments, decided they weren’t embarrassed enough, so a few players within the team took it upon themselves to start wailing on each...

We know we’re reporting a little late on this, but some crazy virus infiltrated our intestines over the weekend and sitting at our desks for an extended period of time was as impossible as Ronaldo losing weight. Wanderlei Silva...

Fox Sports en Español is planning to air some face-crunching mixed martial arts action between December 18-22 (which is now, doh!) in a combo-collaboration with Dana White and his UFC crew. “We are pleased to expand our partnership with...

We didn’t even know Fernando Vargas was still fighting. We don’t even remember him getting up off the canvas after his crushing defeat to Felix Trinidad. Apparently the guy still believes people want to see him fight because of...

At least they know they’re supposed to hate each other. The only miracle on ice here is that no nukes were fired during the melee. USA’s under-17 team got their smackdown on with Russia’s under-17 team during a tournament...

There’s been more smack talk between fighter Randy Couture and UFC Prez Dana White than two cholas on a playground in Echo Park. The latest dish is that Dana White went all psycho ex-girlfriend on Couture’s ass by publicly...

Mirko decided to show his lovable side by playing a joke on Pride announcer Mauro Ranallo. Joke: make fake allegations that the announcer made dubious remarks about your fighting style. Punchline: make announcer almost cry in front of colleagues....

This is Georges Laraque of the Pittsburgh Penguins vs Donald Brashear of the Washington Capitals. The only reason we ever watch hockey stems from the fact that we’re blood lusting bastards. The probability of seeing a fight is our...

Notice to all grown men: rolling around with your sweaty homeboy can actually leave you with something worse than a hooker’s crabs. UFC fighter Drew McFedries didn’t get the memo, and will unfortunately (but fortunately for all of his...

Whoever bets on face-pounding behemoths not getting their way should watch out for a beating. Ultimate Fighting Championship boss man Dana White has come to terms with Spike TV to extend their contract with the network until 2011. That...

“Calcio Storico” has been the scene of bludgeoning and pillage-training for more than six centuries in Tuscany and it takes place every June for three weeks. Object of the game? We aren’t too sure. Teams compete for 50-minute halves,...

It’s on vatos! We’ve been lusting for a really good fight and it looks like UFC is finally granting our diabolical wish. Wanderlei “The Axe Murderer” Silva from Pride (on the right) is set to crunch knuckles with Ultimate...

UFC has unveiled that Brazilian brute Wanderlei Silva will participate in a “debut” match in December, with the possibility of crunching knuckles with recently defeated—and brutally humiliated—Chuck Liddell. Though the return of the Brazilian giant is set, the actual...

Diego Sanchez’s last match saw him sucking canvas and gargling blood. He made a move to San Diego to inspire his rabid luster—we’re sure some late nights in the Red Light district of Tijuana helped—and has guaranteed triumph in...

We’re attracted to sexy woman. However, what if a woman could readjust your nose with a flurry of Muay Thai kicks and elbows? Would you be scared? Intimidated? Or would you embrace it like the beauty of finding a...

There’s modesty that borders pussy-ville, and then there is the type of modesty that makes grown men soil their underwear. UFC prize-fighter Gabriel Gonzaga exudes the latter and the Brazilian hasn’t even won a title yet. Gonzaga is scheduled...

The Tinku Festival in Bolivia is all about the brawl…for reasons of prosperity of course. Since our boss man wants us to extract some Latin American sport, what better than to show some Bolivian vatos and rucas throwin’ down...
