5 Oz. of Pain Presents: The DUEL
And we’re back! After a two week hiatus we have with us 5 Oz. contributors Dustin James and Bryan Levick. They will battle it out…. okay, not so much battle as we were short on time and I gave them six questions each without responses. Still, pretend it’s a battle. With knives. This new work schedule has me whacked out of my mind…. 1. The Anderson Silva/Thales Leites fight... [Read More...]
5 Oz. of Pain Presents: The DUEL
Welcome back to another edition of the Duel. Our leaders are away overseas and my head has been buried in a deep dark place. No, not there, I meant in the sand.

Pros and Cons: UFC 94 and UFC Fight Night 17
And after a full month of shows we finally have a week off. On a personal note I wanted to say there will not be a Duel this week as my computer came down with short bus syndrome and didn’t work for three days.
