5 Oz of Pain on CBS Sports: Title shot for Brock Lesnar might not be too far off

In my CBSSports.com article this week, I decided to come up with a potential UFC top-10 heavyweight ranking in the UFC to get a better idea of just where Brock Lesnar fits into it. I’m sure some will argue where I have certain fighters ranked, but I think it’s hard to argue that Lesnar is more than two wins away from a title shot. In fact, he may only need one more win before he’s... [Read More...]

Another day, another setback

I know many of you out there do not care for reading updates about my wife’s fighting career, which is fine. Most of you keep your opinion to yourselves and just ignore the post and simply look for the posts that are of interest to you. I appreciate that. However, there are a few knuckleheads that take it upon themselves to leave little smartass, ignorant comments. But the reality is there are... [Read More...]

Pimpit Fight Team to sponsor Andria Caplan

Despite being headquartered in California, apparel and MMA-lifestyle company Pimpit has done a lot to support fighters on the East Coast in recent months.

Site Announcement: Graffight signs on as first sponsor of Andria Caplan

One of the cool things about being a part-owner of a widely read MMA site is that I can pretty much post whatever I want. While some may label non-news posts on this site as self-serving, myself, Matt Cava, and Adam Morgan put a lot of time and money into this site for very little in return (at the moment). That’s why I don’t feel bad about doing the occasional promotional post. With that... [Read More...]

Gina Carano helps 5 Oz. of Pain set traffic record

Yes, the title is a bit mis-leading. But it’s technically true. On Monday, FiveOuncesOfPain.com broke its record for page views in a single day. The staff here was kind of surprised to see a major traffic surge following a non-fight weekend. After some simple research we were able to see where the traffic was coming from: search hits from people using the term “Gina Carano.” Nearly... [Read More...]

Thoughts on the Dynamite USA!! attendance

I’m getting a lot of e-mails and reading a lot of message forum posts about why certain sites (such as Sherdog.com) and this site are reporting two different attendance figures for FEG’s Dynamite USA!! show this past Saturday. Well, we’re all reading the same reports, we’re just interpreting them differently. It’s actually an age old debate that has been going on in sports... [Read More...]
